Good morning! I have this amazing bit of VBA that allows me to select pages and print in a proper order & aligns the page numbers. I want to keep this, but add an option to convert those pages to values & formats only instance of excel. Either by creating a copy of the pages into a new workbook (preferred) that is macro & formula free .... or deleting all tabs not selected and removing all formulas & macros. Also, all of the pages are typically locked, this would of course be unlocked and stay that way.

Note: The private subs i have to un-protect all sheets is named UnprotectAll or for specific sheet is UnprotectSheet and conversely ProtectAll & ProtectSheet

BONUS: Once complete, if able to make the document name from cells on a specific worksheet (worksheet titled START_HERE cells named PROJ_TYPE &" "& PROJ_NUM + today's date would be amazing!

Unfortunately due to the nature of the document I can not post the document on here.

Here is the lovely piece of VBA I have liberated & modified from others that is working very well for printing:

Code:
Sub SelectAnyAndAction()
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim TopPos As Integer
    Dim SheetCount As Integer
    Dim PrintDlg As DialogSheet
    Dim CurrentSheet As Worksheet
    Dim cb As CheckBox
    
'   Check for protected workbook
    If ActiveWorkbook.ProtectStructure Then
        MsgBox "Workbook is protected.", vbCritical
        Exit Sub
    End If
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
'   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
    With PrintDlg.DialogFrame
        .Height = Application.Max _
            (68, PrintDlg.DialogFrame.Top + TopPos - 34)
        .Width = 230
        If Range("QJ_ActionSelect").Value = 1.5 Then
            .Caption = "Select sheet"
        Else
            .Caption = "Select sheets to print"
        End If
    End With


'   Change tab order of OK and Cancel buttons
'   so the 1st option button will have the focus
    PrintDlg.Buttons("Button 2").BringToFront
    PrintDlg.Buttons("Button 3").BringToFront


'   Display the dialog box
    CurrentSheet.Activate
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
    
    If Sheets("START_HERE").Range("QJ_ActionSelect") = ("2") Then
        If SheetCount <> 0 Then
            If PrintDlg.Show Then
                      For Each cb In PrintDlg.CheckBoxes
                          If cb.Value = xlOn Then
                              Worksheets(cb.Caption).Select Replace:=False
                          End If
                      Next cb
                      ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1
                      ActiveSheet.Select
              End If
        
        Else
            MsgBox "All worksheets are empty."
        End If
        '   Delete temporary dialog sheet (without a warning)
            Application.DisplayAlerts = False
            PrintDlg.Delete
              
        '   Reactivate original sheet
            Sheets("START_HERE").Activate
    
    Else
    If Sheets("START_HERE").Range("QJ_ActionSelect") = ("1.5") Then
    
        If SheetCount <> 0 Then
        If PrintDlg.Show Then
                  For Each cb In PrintDlg.CheckBoxes
                      If cb.Value = xlOn Then
                          Worksheets(cb.Caption).Select Replace:=False
                      End If
                  Next cb
                  ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Select
                  
          End If
    
        Else
            MsgBox "Select Valid Specific Worksheet"
        End If
    
    '   Delete temporary dialog sheet (without a warning)
        Application.DisplayAlerts = False
        PrintDlg.Delete


    End If
    End If
End Sub

THANKS AGAIN TO ALL FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE! The last time I attempted to change this to function myself, let's just say it did not go well....
Jason.
