Excel VBA - Printing filtered records

[jvine]

Hi,
I have a worksheet called "Barcodes" that collects long lists of
barcode entries. To reduce paper use for printing, I have used the
"copy picture" function to create picture links to a worksheet called
"Print" so that multiple columns can be printed on one page. The
problem is the printout contains the maximum possible pages defined in
the print area and not just the required pages. I have attached a
screen shot as I'm not sure I have explained this properly The macro is
as outlined below.
Thankyou for your time,
jvine

MsgBox "Please collect your list of barcodes from the printer.",
vbInformation, "Human Immunology Barcode Form Checks"

Case vbNo

MsgBox "Action cancelled", vbInformation, "Human Immunology Barcode

End Select


End Sub

I'm confused but it appears that you are filtering one page and printing
another. Also, most (if not all) of your selections can be avoided.

jvine,

Print from the "Barcodes" sheet. Set the print area to be the same as that
area where you are hiding rows. Once you've hidden rows, they won't print,
and you'll only get the unhidden rows.

HTH,
Bernie
