Print Excel file via VB

[KitCaz]

Recently someone provided some succinct code to print Word documents from VB
code. Can someone provide similar code for printing Excel files?

e.g. Word code:

Dim WordObj As Object
Set WordObj = CreateObject("Word.Application")
WordObj.Documents.Open "c:\yourfile.doc"
WordObj.PrintOut Background:=False, Copies:=1
WordObj.Quit
Set WordObj = Nothing

Check the Excel VBE Help for the PrintOut method. Note that it's used on
the Range object. You may also want to read the PrintArea method.

This is Excel VBA code (which is what this newsgroup deals with). But it
will also work in VB6 if you declare an Excel.Application object (like the
Word.Application object in your code); with a reference to the Excel object
model and an Excel object, VB6 code will look almost identical to VBA.
(VB.Net is a different animal that I am not familiar with.)

I have no vb to test, it works for vb-script; try it yourself.

Dim ExcelApp, ExcelWb

Set ExcelApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set ExcelWb = ExcelApp.WorkBooks.Open("yourfile.xls")
ExcelWb.WorkSheets.PrintOut
ExcelApp.Quit
Set ExcelObj = Nothing

Hey, your code snippet worked great. Thank you!

Can you speculate on similar code to print a PowerPoint (.mpp) file? (last
one ).

Thanks in advance,
