I have a users form that contains a print macro. Included in the macro is a message box that allow the user to input the no. of copies to print. However after selecting the number of copies to print and selecting the OK button, the message box pops up again


Please amend my macro to prevent this from popping up once printed unless the button on the user form is selected again



Code: 
 Private Sub OKButton_Click()
 Dim iNum As Variant
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    If OptionBr1 Then
        Sheets(1).Select
       
         Application.PrintCommunication = False
        With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
            .PrintGridlines = True
            .PrintArea = "Branch1TAX"
            
            .PrintTitleRows = "$16:$16"
            .PrintTitleColumns = "$B:$D"
            .LeftHeader = "&D&T"
            .CenterHeader = ""
            .Orientation = xlLandscape
            
           
        End With
          End If
        Application.PrintCommunication = True
        
iNum = InputBox(Prompt:="Please enter number of copies to print.", _
    Title:="Number of Copies", _
    Default:=1)
    
Select Case iNum
    Case 0, ""
        MsgBox ("Printing aborted.")
    Case Else
        ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=iNum, Collate:=True
End Select
    If OptionBr2 Then
        Sheets(1).Select
       Range("F:T").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
         Application.PrintCommunication = False
        With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
            .PrintGridlines = True
            .PrintArea = "Branch2Tax"
            
            .PrintTitleRows = "$16:$16"
            .PrintTitleColumns = "$B:$D"
            .LeftHeader = "&D&T"
            .CenterHeader = ""
            .Orientation = xlLandscape
            
           
        End With
          End If
        Application.PrintCommunication = True
      iNum = InputBox(Prompt:="Please enter number of copies to print.", _
    Title:="Number of Copies", _
    Default:=1)
    
Select Case iNum
    Case 0, ""
        MsgBox ("Printing aborted.")
    Case Else
        ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=iNum, Collate:=True
          
         Range("F:T").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
                  
    Columns("E:CX").EntireColumn.AutoFit
   
    
          End Select
          
        End Sub

That's because you have duplicate code (in blue):

Code: 
 Private Sub OKButton_Click()
 Dim iNum As Variant
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    If OptionBr1 Then
        Sheets(1).Select
       
         Application.PrintCommunication = False
        With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
            .PrintGridlines = True
            .PrintArea = "Branch1TAX"
            
            .PrintTitleRows = "$16:$16"
            .PrintTitleColumns = "$B:$D"
            .LeftHeader = "&D&T"
            .CenterHeader = ""
            .Orientation = xlLandscape
            
           
        End With
          End If
        Application.PrintCommunication = True

You have the input box twice in your code with out anything to stop the second input box from being run.

Code: 
Private Sub OKButton_Click()
 Dim iNum As Variant
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    If OptionBr1 Then
        Sheets(1).Select
       
         Application.PrintCommunication = False
        With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
            .PrintGridlines = True
            .PrintArea = "Branch1TAX"
            
            .PrintTitleRows = "$16:$16"
            .PrintTitleColumns = "$B:$D"
            .LeftHeader = "&D&T"
            .CenterHeader = ""
            .Orientation = xlLandscape
            
           
        End With
          End If
        Application.PrintCommunication = True
        
iNum = [COLOR=#FF0000]InputBox(Prompt:="Please enter number of copies to print.", _
    Title:="Number of Copies", _
    Default:=1)[/COLOR]
    
Select Case iNum
    Case 0, ""
        MsgBox ("Printing aborted.")
    Case Else
        ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=iNum, Collate:=True
End Select
    If OptionBr2 Then
        Sheets(1).Select
       Range("F:T").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
         Application.PrintCommunication = False
        With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
            .PrintGridlines = True
            .PrintArea = "Branch2Tax"
            
            .PrintTitleRows = "$16:$16"
            .PrintTitleColumns = "$B:$D"
            .LeftHeader = "&D&T"
            .CenterHeader = ""
            .Orientation = xlLandscape
            
           
        End With
          End If
        Application.PrintCommunication = True
      iNum[COLOR=#FF0000] = InputBox(Prompt:="Please enter number of copies to print.", _[/COLOR]
    Title:="Number of Copies", _
    Default:=1)
    
Select Case iNum
    Case 0, ""
        MsgBox ("Printing aborted.")
    Case Else
        ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=iNum, Collate:=True
          
         Range("F:T").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
                  
    Columns("E:CX").EntireColumn.AutoFit
   
    
          End Select
          
        End Sub
