Excel headers/footers won't change via VBA unless blank

Question

Disclaimer: It\'s been a few years since I worked (a lot) with VBA, so this might be an issue caused by confusing myself with what is essentially a very different language f

Answer 1

The line Application.PrintCommunication = False (which is added by the macro recorder) before doing PageSetup screws up the formating via VBA.

If your code has got this line in it, try removing it. That solved my problem with setting the header and footer via VBA.
