Hi
I am trying to make a generic print code that depending on what sheet it is activated from it will print the matching sheet for that page. I currently have the following code but am unsure of how to get it to reference the cell and retrive the codename of the sheet in which it has to print. I was looking to put the codename of the sheet I need printed in cell X1 of the starting sheet.

Sub PrintSpecificSheet1()
Dim wks As Worksheet

Set wks = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(Sheet11.Name)
If wks.Visible <> xlSheetVisible Then
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
wks.Visible = xlSheetVisible
wks.Calculate
wks.Activate
wks.PrintOut Copies:=Sheets(Sheet4.Name).Range("X5").Value, IgnorePrintAreas:=False
wks.Visible = xlSheetHidden
Application.Goto Reference:=Worksheets(Sheet4.Name).Range("A1"), _
scroll:=True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Else
wks.PrintOut Copies:=Sheets(Sheet4).Range("X5").Value, IgnorePrintAreas:=False
Application.Goto Reference:=Worksheets(Sheet4).Range("A1"), _
scroll:=True
End If
Set wks = Nothing
End Sub

Thanks in advance

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
The sheet codename is in a sheet cell? Don't understand why you want to reference any cell. What's missing from your info is how you're calling this sub, which possibly should be Sub PrintSpecificSheet1(strName As String) and not Sub PrintSpecificSheet1(). That way you could pass the sheet name or codename to the sub. If required, you could add parameters to the sub to include whatever else you might need.
Please post more than a few lines of code within code tags (use vba button on posting toolbar) and maintain indentation for easier reading.
