Hi,

I've done a lot of researching around this and I'm still having problems getting to the bottom of it. I have a UserForm that has a height of 2500 (goes off the bottom of the screen). It has a scroll bar on the right and it has about 517 of height visible at any one time.

I have obviously tried the built in single line UserForm1.PrintForm solution, but this will only print the currently visible section of the form. I then tried Tom Olgivy's code for transferring the userform to an excel worksheet and fitting to a single page, but that again only pastes and prints what is currently visible on the screen.

I am beginning to think that I need to write some sort of Macro that scrolls through the form section by section and print screens each available amount that can fit on a screen, until it's daisy chained the whole thing onto a worksheet or something. This seems absolutely ridiculous and there MUST be a better way of doing it.

So the form's full size is 2500 as I said, and also it contains toggle buttons, tick boxes and text. I just want to be able to copy THE FULL FORM and paste it somewhere. Any help is very much appreciated!

I'm using Excel 2003.

I am digging up this old thread as I too have been researching this topic and I wonder if anyone knows if there is a solution to this ..

As the OP said, there seems to be no native or easy way of printing the full userform including the areas that are not visible due to the large scrollheight.

Any thoughts ?

Regards.

Hi all,

I am publishing here this code that I have just finished writing and I hope you find it useful to overcome the problem with the PrintForm Method which only prints the visible client area and fails to print the parts that are not currently scrolled into view.

Basically, the code takes a screenshot of a verically scrollable userform and create a IPic Object for the *entire* client area + the form frame and title bar .. The Ipicture Object can then be loaded into a control via its Picture property, or optionally copied to the clipboard as a BITMAP and pasted to a worksheet as a shape for subsequent printing and/or saved to disk as a BMP file.

Dear Jaafar,
Lot of thanks for your help.

However, for your kind information, I am using 64 bit, MS Office 2013.

As requested in my earlier post, I have a User form where it is to be printed and provided to client. The data entered in that User form is to be recorded in Excel sheet. I could record the data in Excel Sheet but I have been defeated to print whole of User Form which actually fits in A4 sized paper. I could print only the ones that appear in the screen. Looks like it prints out screen shots as you have rightly pointed out.

Is there any other ways to get this done. Your valuable advice would highly be appreciate and with your assistance, I could get some other idea where I can make use of it. Thanks for that.

Hi,

Why is the userform not fully displayed on the screen ? Is it somehow off-screen or is it because the userform window is smaller than the its actual content and has to be scrolled Up_Down or Left_Right ?

Would zooming out the userform right before printing and then restoring the initial zoom afterwards give you a satisfactory result?

Regards.

Hi Jaafar,
My user form is quite big where less than have the A4 sized paper is to be filled with personal information and remaining part is to be written with wording having at least 20 - 25 lines with Arial Narrow font of size of 11. All these data could be recorded in Excel sheet but I could not print out complete User Form which is to be provided to client.

I have tried with your codes but still it did not work. I would appreciate if you can explain me in detail.

Thanks for your tips and advises.

Regards.

Hi,

Does the userform have any scrollbars that allows you to scroll the contents of the userform for viewing all its contents?

Regards.

Ok- Which versions of excel and windows are you using ? (Bitness included - ie : 32bit or 64bit)

I can't promise anything but I'll revise the code afterwards and see if I fix the issue we are experiencing.
