Hi George,

I might be oversimplifying this...
but who says you have to "re-populate" the same sheet?

Since you're automating this *anyway* (g), I'd consider just dumping the first worksheet, reloading the template, populating it with the new data, and printing again. Yeah, it's a kludge, but it would sure save the Excedrin...

BTW, I agree about the Lotus products. I'm forced to use Notes most days at one particular location -- what a PITA.

>In order to try and fix this, I delved into what passes for the help file. There I found a property (PrintSettings) and a constant ($CurrentSheet) to set it to, that I hope will fix this. The problem is twofold. First, no where (including the type library and the Lotus web site) does it say what object the PrintSettings property belongs to. Second, similarly and even more frustrating, the value of the constant cannot be located either.
