L.S.,

I get an error when trying to peint a (part) of a sheet (=printarea)
[quote]
C:\Ketel\offertes\2015\TEST\offerte 2015004 naam.pdf
Error trapped by OnError eventhandler.

Settings:
With oPrinterSettings
.SetValue "Output", sFolder & sFileName
.SetValue "ShowSettings", "never"
.SetValue "ShowPDF", "yes"
.SetValue "WriteSettings", "True"
.SetValue "PrintToFile", "true"
.SetValue "ConfirmOverwrite", "no"
.SetValue "ShowProgress", "no"
.SetValue "ShowProgressFinished", "no"
.SetValue "SuppressErrors", "yes"
'.SetValue "EmbedAllFonts", "true"
End With
Debug.Print sFolder & sFileName
Debug.Print ActiveSheet

'Change To PDF printer
sCurrentPrinter = ActivePrinter
'ActivePrinter = sFullPrinterName

'Print the active work sheet

ActiveSheet.PrintOut

The location should be "C:\Ketel\offertes\2015\TEST\" i.e. NOT the Environment data.
The filename could be like "Kopie administratie offerte 2015123 mw Verkerk.pdf"
What is the matter?
Is it not possible to use ordinary Directory names?
Or is the filename maximized?

Looking forward to your help

This problem has been solved, special Thanks to Jacob

the code I use now:
