I am running a ListBox that shows hidden sheets in a workbook with the VBA code:

Private Sub ListBoxSh_Click()

End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Dim sh
Me.ListBoxSh.Clear
For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
If sh.Visible = xlSheetVisible Then
Me.ListBoxSh.AddItem sh.Name
End If
Next sh
End Sub

And a Print button with the code:

Sub Print_Sheets()
Dim i As Long, c As Long
Dim SheetArray() As String

With ActiveSheet.ListBoxSh

For i = 0 To .ListCount - 1
If .Selected(i) Then
ReDim Preserve SheetArray(c)
SheetArray(c) = .List(i)
c = c + 1
End If
Next i

Sheets(SheetArray()).PrintPreview

End With

End Sub


This all works fine. My issue is that I am trying to change this to print my hidden sheets. By changing "If sh.Visible = xlSheetVisible Then" to "If sh.Visible = xlSheetHidden Then" in the ListBox VBA, I get the results I am looking for (ONLY hidden sheets populate the ListBox), but when I hit the print button, I get: "Run-time error '1004': PrintPreview method of Sheets class failed"

any ideas anyone?

Didn't proof read. the first line of my post should read "I am running a ListBox the shows Visible sheets"
