Print to File Macro


Posted by Jamey on July 10, 2001 11:57 AM

I am trying to print to file from a command button on a worksheet. I am getting a run-time error 1004, witht the reason of: method 'Goto' of object Application failed. Here is my code:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Dim PSfilename As String
Application.Goto reference:="r2c1"
Let PSfilename = Application.ActiveCell
SendKeys PSfilename & "{ENTER}", False
ActiveSheet.Printout , PrintToFile:=True, collate:=True
PSfilename = Chr(34) & PSfilename & Chr(34)

End sub

The reference part is where the file name comes from. It is a cell on the worksheet. This code works for me in other places, doing basically the same thing, that is why I can't figure out why it isn't working. If anyone could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You are probably using Excel97.
Click on design Mode
Right clcik button
Select Properties
Select TakeFocusOnClick & set this to False.

Alternatively you can Just activate a cell
before you try and reference any adresses.
