Hello All,

I have a function which was custom made a long time ago and has been running great for years. Suddenly, the printing aspect stops in the middle and gives the error:
Run-time error '1004';
Document not saved. the document may not be open, or an error may have been encountered when saving.

The role of the function is to print tabs from within a workbook, this will print out page 1 of each tab, and save to PDF all the pages on the tab.
This funciton also has has an exclude list for what not to print. And last has a target destination folder value in a cell. ( this does start off working)
Lastly there is a target directory to right the P
Stepping through the debug doesn't give me enough direction.

Not sure if maybe something application wise changed, but not finding data or a tab being respsonsible.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
The most likely is that the full filename you are using does not exist.
What line is highlighted when you hit debug on that error dialogue box ?

Do you know how to use the immediate window ?

Try adding this
VBA Code:
Debug.Print tempstring

Before this:
VBA Code:
ws.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=tempstring, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
        IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False

If you don't see the Immediate box hit Ctrl+G in the VBA editor
The last thing that prints to the immediate box should be the filename that failed.

I will try this and report back, but it is not reading any file. The Worksheet that is open and being run from generates a PDF file for each tab in the worksheet that is not in the "deny or don't print list".

OK, the bad part is nothing additional was reported back.
The pop up box is the same with no additional data and if I click debug I get the attached image.
I can't seem to make it happen in any specific order, or on a specific tab.

[update]
If I go into immediate and click ?tempstring, I get a file name its trying to build which it never did.
I will try to see if there is something about that tab.

It is unlikely to be the Tab unless you have something in the Tab name that is not valid as a filename which seems unlikely.
You are getting the path name from a cell. It is more likely thatthe path name is invalid or when you string it together with the file name it is producing an invalid name.

The file names are made up from a value in another tab, and is company names, and it has always worked correctly, nothing new on company names. ( 1 tab per company about 40 tabs ).
Then the file name is pulled from the location of the spreadsheet itself, and it does save a bunch, so there is no security type of issue either.
Just can't nail the issue.
