I have a workbook that has a dynamic number of worksheets and I needed to set the page to landsscape and fit to 1 page hig & wide etc. and found it ran extremely slow. I stumbled on the Excel 4 macro solution but was uncertain of how to employ the macro so I decided to first run my page setup routine slowly in vBA until I figured it out. My app launches from Access, calls Excel and then runs the macro and I have a utility PC that I run a scheduler on where I was to deploy this app. This PC had no printer attached and none installed. Since the page setup routine calls the default print driver, the macro skipped my page setup routines. To remedy this I decided to trick the app by installing a phantom printer and setting it as the default. I just went to printer setup, selected a local printer install on LPT1 and installed a HP Laserjet 1100 driver. (There is no printer attached to this PC) When my automated workbook opens, the page setup routines fly and complete sucessfully.
