    Excel File Changing When Opened on Another Computer

    I have a file that has 58 rows for the first page on "Page View" on my computer, but when I save it and open it on another computer it has 62 rows. I wouldn't necessarily care about this, but sadly I've got a macro that is dependent on the rows of this first page and the macro doesn't work on the alternate computer. I can edit the macro, but I am curious as to why this is happening in the first place. Is there a way to prevent this?

    Thanks.

    Are the resolution settings on both machines the same?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Isn't this to do with your default printer settings?

    I saw you hijacked an old thread - your post there has been deleted. Stay in this thread and be patient.
