run time error deleting vpagebreak

[berlinhammer]

Hello

I am having a very irritating runtime error that I can't understand the cause of. I'm trying to macro a dynamic print area and in the process delete a vertical pagebreak I don't want, the code keeps tripping on an error 1004 application defined/object defined and I can't understand why. Does anyone have any ideas based on the codes below? I've tried all three and none seem to work.

Many thanks

Jon

Sub PrintEntity()
Dim output As Range
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim vpbL As VPageBreak

Set sh = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("P&L Summary")
Set output = sh.Range("rngOutput").CurrentRegion
Set vpbL = sh.VPageBreaks(1)

sh.Range("rngFilter").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="TRUE"
sh.ResetAllPageBreaks
sh.PageSetup.PrintArea = output.Address

vpbL.Delete
End Sub

Sub x()
With ActiveSheet
   If .VPageBreaks.Count > 0 Then
      .VPageBreaks(1).Delete
   End If
End With
End Sub

Sub y()
ActiveSheet.VPageBreaks(1).Delete
End Sub

Hi,

Have you inserted these page breaks or they were inserted by Excel?

Hi Mohammad,

Thanks for your reply.

Nope not me, when I reset the page breaks (as in the VBA) Excel seems to create it automatically, very annoying! Any ideas?

Excel cannot delete automatic page breaks.

However, if you don't want to show page breaks on the sheet use ActiveSheet.DisplayPageBreaks = False

Hi Mohammad,

Thanks for replying. That surprises me, but I managed to get something working using PrintCommunication. The ActiveSheet.DisplayPageBreaks = False didn't work for my purposes unfortunately.

Cheers

Set output = sh.Range("rngOutput").CurrentRegion
sh.PageSetup.PrintArea = output.Address
sh.ResetAllPageBreaks
Application.PrintCommunication = False
sh.PageSetup.FitToPagesWide = 1
sh.PageSetup.FitToPagesTall = 0
Application.PrintCommunication = True
End Sub

ActiveSheet.DisplayPageBreaks = False hides the page breaks in the normal view. It is not permanent though.
It has no effect in the page break view. Also, sometimes the page breaks reappear after modifying the page setup.

Application.PrintCommunication enables/disables communication with the printer. If False, it speeds up execution of the code that sets page setup properties.

In your code, you have scaled down the printout to fit on one page and that’s why the page breaks disappeared.
