Hi,

I have written a macro to print worksheet to PDF

However, when the macro is finished, the worksheet displays a ghost line of the previous page when I click on cells around the sheet.

This ghost line is in the same place no matter where I click, however, if I scroll down and click, another ghost line appears. Likewise, when scrolling down.

I can stop this from happening if I turn off Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) but it begins again when I turn it on again.

Here is the SelectionChange code ..

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
'
Select Case (Range("E2").Value)
Case 10
Range("A1").Value = "Type3"
Range("A2").Value = "txtField1"
Case 32
Range("A1").Value = "Type2"
Range("A2").Value = "txtField1,txtField2"
Case Else
Range("E2").Value = 16
Range("A1").Value = "Type1"
Range("A2").Value = "txtField1"
End Select
End Sub

Here is the screen ghost, 1st, 2nd & 3rd scroll down clicking on different cells each time ..

This ghost images are not really there. If I pick a cell behind them, there is only an empty cell. If I print this page, the ghost doesn't print.

Interestingly, when I was Snipping these pictures, Excel was refreshing the screen each time without the ghost.

Any ideas ?

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
I've resolved the issue but not quite sure that I truly found the cause.

For those who find this in the future, here's what I did to stop it - for now :sneaky:.

I have a sheet that is hidden. When I print the set, that sheet is made visible and printed.

However, when it's time to print, I used "Sheets("???").Visible = True" just before "Sheets("???").Select".

When I moved the "Sheets("???").Visible = True" code up to the beginning of the macro, ie. separated it from "Sheets("???").Select", the problem went away.
