Printing with a macro

[dd182]

I am trying to create a button that will print a page I have in excel.

I have an exam analysis sheet for my students, at the top of the page you select the student from a drop down list (numbers 1 to 35, each student is assigned one) and the page fills with their results. Currently If I wish to print this I have to do a page at a time. Is there a way I could create a button that would only print 1 to 10 or 1 to 30 depending on how many student I have in my class? Could we also get it to ask which printer?

Cheers

David

Not sure if this is what you are looking for. One macro prints all and the other allows you to select which worksheets from a menu
[CODE][/Sub Print_All()
' Prints the current active workbook
ActiveWorkbook.PrintOut
End Sub
Sub Print_Selection()
'
' Unprotect Entire Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Unprotect
Next ws
'

Dim i As Integer
Dim TopPos As Integer
Dim SheetCount As Integer
Dim PrintDlg As DialogSheet
Dim CurrentSheet As Worksheet
Dim cb As CheckBox
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

' Check for protected workbook
If ActiveWorkbook.ProtectStructure Then
MsgBox "Workbook is protected.", vbCritical
Exit Sub
End If

' Add a temporary dialog sheet
Set CurrentSheet = ActiveSheet
Set PrintDlg = ActiveWorkbook.DialogSheets.Add

SheetCount = 0

' Add the checkboxes
TopPos = 40
For i = 1 To ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
Set CurrentSheet = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(i)
' Skip empty sheets and hidden sheets
If Application.CountA(CurrentSheet.Cells) <> 0 And _
CurrentSheet.Visible Then
SheetCount = SheetCount + 1
PrintDlg.CheckBoxes.Add 78, TopPos, 150, 16.5
PrintDlg.CheckBoxes(SheetCount).Text = _
CurrentSheet.Name
TopPos = TopPos + 13
End If
Next i

' Move the OK and Cancel buttons
PrintDlg.Buttons.Left = 240

' Set dialog height, width, and caption

.Height = Application.Max _
(68, PrintDlg.DialogFrame.Top + TopPos - 34)

End With

' Change tab order of OK and Cancel buttons
