Printing specific excel worksheets in VB.NET

[ecd1973]

Hi,

I feel like this should be obvious, but I'm missing something. I want
to print specific worksheets in an Excel workbook (ie, sheets 1 through
7 of a 13 sheet book). I want them to go out as one print job, not 7
separate print jobs. I tried "selecting" sheets one through seven, but
all the other sheets default to "selected" when I open the workbook, so
the print job always prints all 13 sheets (code below). I havent found
a way to "unselect" sheets (setting the select property to false give
me an error). Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Dim xlApp As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application
Dim xlBook As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook
Dim SelectedSheets(6) As Integer

'Open excel sheet, load data
xlBook = CType(xlApp.Workbooks.Add, _
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook)

xlBook = OpenExcelWorkBook(xlApp)

SelectedSheets(0) = 1
SelectedSheets(1) = 2
SelectedSheets(2) = 3
SelectedSheets(3) = 4
SelectedSheets(4) = 5
SelectedSheets(5) = 6
SelectedSheets(6) = 7

xlBook.Sheets(SelectedSheets).Select()
xlBook.PrintOut()

xlBook.Close(False)
xlBook = Nothing
xlApp.Quit()
xlApp = Nothing
