I want a macro that run the application GetOpenFilename (or something that is similar) but when I push the OK button, i don't want to open the file, I just want the filename of the file I have browsed to.

This will save the workbook before exiting. How do I direct it to not save any open workbooks and exit the app?
I have a worksheet using several columns and 100 rows. Column B and column C can contain a value "x" in either coulmn but not both in a specific row. The macro illustrated works perfectly for what I need but there must be a way to point the macro to a range of rows rather than using an "if" statement for each row as I've done.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIve got a script in which I call another script using the Application.Run method. The exact line is below:
Application.Run "'" & wb & ".xls'!save_case", sheetname, fieldvalue
The macro runs fine, but after that a different workbook becomes active. There are a couple more lines of code after the line above that don't get executed (ive tested this by putting a MsgBox command after it).
How do i pass control back to the starting subroutine? Or should it and there is something wrong with my code?
I have the following code, is it possible to direct to a default directory that the file might be in? So when I open the dialog box it will automatically redirect a directory that is stored in VBA.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have searched for the Runtime Error 13 in the archives and tried a few things that was suggested such as: If I change the Variables Dim FName as a String for instance it then errors in the middle bold area "If IsArray(FName) Then" as a Compile Error - Expected Array. I tried deleting the Option Explicit but that didn't do anything.
If I comment out the If FName = "False" Then routine it works.. however *that* is in there because if the user hits Cancel on the Getopenfilename box, it will just continue with the rest of the process. If the user hits cancel, I want it to stop, but since this code is in a module, it will kick back to the calling Userform sub and thats how it continues to run. The label caption change is setting a label caption to "cancel" if cancel was selected on the get openfilename dialog to exit out of all the UserForm Subs, Is there a way to pass a variable from a module to a userform?

I was looking at Colo's website for the Application.SendKeys method, http://puremis.net/excel/code/039.shtml ,so that I can speed up a page/print setup macro that I have.
I was partially successful in setting this up, but I did notice that there was no argument number in that method for setting up the "Fit to x Pages Wide" and "y Pages tall".... I really need that functionality....
I saw something here that is supposed to get the zoomfactor : http://groups.google.com/group/micro...8d0?scoring=d& but I can't seem to incorporate it into my code so that it works.
Is there an Argument I can set up to get those?
Here is my code so far:
Sub ElecECNPrint()
Application.SendKeys "{ENTER}", False
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPageSetup).Show _
Arg1:="", _
Arg2:="", _
Arg3:=0.25, _
Arg4:=0.2, _
Arg5:=0.42, _
Arg6:=0.39, _
Arg11:=xlPortrait, _
Arg12:=xlPaperLetter, _
Arg13:=79, _
Arg17:=600
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
End Sub
I want to change Arg13:=79 to Arg13:= Zoomfactor, but I just ain't cutting it as each page is a different size and I am running this from Personal.xls ....
Is it possible to use a macro that needs parmeters as part of an application.ontime instruction? - I am getting a macro cannot be found error message.
If I change the called macro so that parameters are not required, it is found OK (but obviously isn't doing what I want anymore!).
I reckon it is something to do with the quotations around the macro name
I have a program that produces data while im working on it, i want to start an excel macro (excel app running in background) from a keyboard shortcut that imports the current data. I cant think of a workaround, letting the macro run on a timer isnt possible since i want to be able to decide when exactly it imports the data, without the need for alt-tabbing out of the program (since its an directX app so alt-tab takes time and is annoying).
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen I use the GetOpenFilename() method, it seems to default to the particular users My Documents. Is there a way to force it to default elsewhere like a share drive, or the users desktop?
In the same line of thought, if I have a file named TestFile.xls. and I want to try to open it from the users desktop if they have it, how can I do this, since their desktop location is different than mine?
The Macro asks the user to point at the location of a report, it then copies information out of that report and pastes it into a master sheet. The part I am having trouble with is closing the file that data has been copied from.
I have tried different things to close it such as

What I would like to do is 'pre-load' the filename the user can select. They will be picking a file to attach to a part as a datasheet. Almost every single datasheet in the library has the part nuber as part of it's filename, so to make it a little quicker (and more accurate), I want pre-load the filename selection window with *partnr*.pdf. If nothing shows up, the user can delete filename I have entered for them and see all files in that directory.

I'm having problems with the multiselect argument of the getopenfilename function. I've used this dozens of times with no problems, but now it doesn't work for me. I tried copying and pasting code that works in one module,
What I'm using is
Sub OpenFiles()
Dim vFiles As Variant, iNumfiles As Integer
vFiles = Application.GetOpenFilename(MultiSelect:=True)
If IsArray(vFiles) Then
For iNumfiles = LBound(vFiles) To UBound(vFiles)
MsgBox vFiles(iNumfiles)
Next iNumfiles
End If
End Sub
pretty simple, expect that when I select multiple files in the open dialog box, vfiles is a string containing one of the filenames, not an array containing them all! (by selecting, I simply highlight all the fiels I want and click open)
I'm writing a subroutine that asks the user to pick a file (using GetOpenFileName) and extracts some data from it, then closes the workbook it opened automatically.
Problem is that it seems I can only reference workbooks by index, which is a big problem if they have more than one workbook open. I don't want to have to force them to only keep 1 workbook open, that seems like bad practice.
importFile = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls", , "Select field sheet")
If importFile = False Then Exit Sub
Workbooks.Open importFile ' Open the new workbook
importFile ends up returning something like, "C:Documents and SettingsMy DocumentsFieldBook.xls".....................

Firstly you don't need to know anything about Bloomberg to answer this query, only that Bloomberg has various functions that take time to update.
The code Application.Run "RefreshEntireWorkbook" will update these functions but Application.OnTime (Now + TimeValue("00:00:25")), "RunList" is required to allow them time to get the data from the feed. However this only works if the refresh and wait commands are in a seperate function. So in simplified terms it must go like this in vba:
The following code is giving me an object-defined or application-defined error:

I am opening the file through the GetOpenFilename method. I am facing an error in of the cases... Like say or example i try and open a file with the XYZ.xls...which is already open. the system generates a mess saying

I want to make a macro where it will use the current filename of the workbook I have open (where is says New Quote Sheet 2.xls below) Is there something I can put where it will use the current filename when the filename is changed?
New Quote Sheet is a read-only template, and when a new quote is started, it is renamed.
Eg.
Application.Run "'New Quote Sheet2.xls'!Part8"
Sheets("8-Part").Select
Sheets("8-Part").Copy After:=Sheets(25)
Sheets("8-Pack").Select
