I am working on an excel workbook. I want to and a command button to the first sheet so that it will print 2 copies of that sheet. Where can i find some VBA code to help me out. Thank you.

You can often get a good idea of the code you need by recording a macro of the action(s) that you want to automate.

- Make sure that you show the Developer tab in the Ribbon.
- In the Code group, click Record Macro
- Specify a name, for example Print2Copies, then click OK.
- Perform the actions that you want to record.
- Click the Stop Recording button when you're done.
- Click Macros
- Select the name that you gave the macro.
- Click Edit. You'll see the code of the recorded macro.
- The line that prints two copies in the macro that I recorded is:

ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=2, Collate:=True

- Click in the word PrintOut and press F1 to get help about this keyword.

Note: an alternative instruction is

ActiveSheet.PrintOut Copies:=2

The simplest way to do this is to record a macro of the normal printing procedure. You can then assign that macro to the button.

It will look something like this:

Application.ActivePrinter = "YourPrinter'sName"
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=2, ActivePrinter:= _
"YourPrinter'sName", Collate:=True
