Adding A File Path From A Dialog Box Selection
Jun 16, 2007
I am trying to white a macro that takes a file path from a cell value and opens that file. When there is no file path in the cell, it prompts a dialog box. This part is pretty much working. However, I would like the file path selected from the dialog box to be added to the cell in the original workbook.
Sub Reports()
Dim path1 As String
path1 = Range("B20").Value
On Error Resume Next
'checks if there is already a file path'
Workbooks.Open filename:= _
path1, Updatelinks:=1
'if no file path then opens dialog box'
If Error.Number <> 0 Then
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show Arg1:="*.*"
End If
End Sub

I've seen many posts advocating the use of BrowseFolder.zip located at
[url]
And some others saying to use the FileDialog object (if you use Excel 2002, or older(?))
I have to admit both are above my prior experience level, but I think I can do it if I understand what their function, requirements, and output are.
All I need is a dialog box that preferably lets me select the default directory, and then allows the user to select the target directory.

I have a file which is opened every so often. This file when opened it presents a userform in which you browse two files which then get loaded into the document and some charts/pivots are updated with the information from the loaded files.
When you click on the browse button it opens the browser dialog box in the libraries path. I am wondering if it's possible to have the dialog box open in the last directory path used.
For example:
A week ago I opened the file from the path C:UsersIntiDocumentsProjectsTea Project
What I would like to happen is that when I open the file today and I click the "Browse" button (which opens the dialog box to find files in your computer) for the dialog box to open automatically in the path C:UsersIntiDocumentsProjectsTea Project
Then if tomorrow the file is opened from the path C:UsersIntiPicturesProjectsTea2Project
Then a week from now when you browse for the file the dialog box opens automatically in the C:UsersIntiPicturesProjectsTea2Project path
This is what I have right now and it always opens the dialog box on C:UsersIntiDocuments

I have a variable ("DestFile") that defines a path to a file (used in saving the file)...
I'm in the process of getting a Sub to hyperlink to this file, but in some circumstances, I may only want to hyperlink to the folder, not the actual file...
How would I go about trimming the "DestFile" address to get a "DestFldr" address?...
An example of "DestFile" might be;
S:BryanFor KenGulf ConstructionST0609014-t.xls
(the file name length may vary)
What code can I use to consistently trim it back to;
S:BryanFor KenGulf Construction
as the "DestFldr" variable?

Is there a way to have the print dialog box come up, make a selection, and put that selection into a variable?
Ex:
Code:
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPrint).Show
brings up the print dialog. I need to be able to select the printer and have the selected printer put into a variable in my vba code.
I have tried Ex: w=Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPrint).Show, but all I get is w=true
The reason I need it is because I will be printing via vba code, but the printer may vary for different print jobs.

Is there a built-in dialog box that allows the user to select a range by clicking and dragging with the mouse? I'd like to use this in my code and have the dialog box return either a range object or and address that I can use in a range assignment statement. I'm looking for something like what you get when you select Insert-->Name-->Define. The "Refers To" text box at the bottom automatically updates as the user clicks and drags across cells. Is there such a thing accessible via VBA?

How to save a file, with file- name. but the directory is to be read in worksheet "towns" in Cell1 (brussels) and filename in worksheet "names" in cell B2 (i.e. winter), so it saves to c:russelswinter.txt as a wordpad or kladblok txt file, that keeps a number, so each time we push a button "go back from worksheet names to worksheet towns" the "number" that is saved in the txt document goes up by value +1. In Flemisch, the "old" code goes as follows, and saves the number in the txt file Factuurnummer7.txt. But I want that the file name (here: FactuurNummer7) can be a variable text issue, which has to be read - as already noticed - in cell B2 (with the word WINTER). So the are 2 worksheets: towns, ans names
pad$ = Application.DefaultFilePath
'controle = Dir(pad$ + "FactuurNummer7.txt")
'If controle = "" Then GoTo EerstAanmaken
'Open pad$ + "Factuurnummer7.txt" For Input As #10
'Input #10, Nummer1
'Close #10......................

Below is the current code I have for File Copy before the workbook closes. This file will be distributed all over and obviously will not have the same old path and new path locations as I have in my code also will not have the same file name. Is there anyway to still perform the file copy without knowing the old path and file name and possibly have message box pop up to ask the copy to location and use that in the new path string?
Sub Macro1()
Dim fs As Object
Dim oldPath As String, newPath As String
oldPath = "I:EXLDATAMC Daily" '<---Where the file is currently located
newPath = "H:South RegionOrlando Mail Services2008DI" 'Since the super shared drive is super slow we will just copy and replace this file each time before we close and of course after we save
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.CopyFile oldPath & "" & "OrlandoMail.xls", newPath & "" & "OrlandoMail.xls"
Set fs = Nothing
End Sub

I just found a code to copy file path and file contents. However it is copying folder path and folder contents.here is my requirement.I will specify a path, macro has to copy that file name in a particular cell, then it has to copy all its contents.
ex:
file name 1 has 3 sub files in it, file name 2 has 2 sub files in it--
column AColumn B
file name1file contents
file name1file contents
file name1file contents
file name2file contents
file name2file contents
And also i have extend this macro to write a index function. i will tell u about this. but first i need above thing I researched but I didn't find.
I need file name in a column then i need file contents in b column.
if a file has 10 file contents in a file then that file name should come 10 times in a column, and in b column all its contents.

I am running a macro on startup from a template that opens the File Save As dialog box to allow the user to select a folder and filename and save it before continuing.
I would like it to default to the Q: drive, it defaults to where the template was opened from.
I used
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show
to open the dialog, I tried using "Q:" as an argument but it doesn't seem to work.
if I try
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show "Q:"

my code brings up an empty dialog box.
The file I am trying to view is saved as follows: C: Test.gif
What I have done.Added a image control to a dialog box, called image1
Added the following event handler to image1:
x = c: test.gif
Image1.picture = loadpicture (X)Pressed F5 to test the code and brings up a dialog box with a blank image box.
Not called the userform in the main module (didn't seem much point considering the test failed)
My questions
where I am going wrong with this, the correct code?
Also in inputting the address of the file I could not use the C: format as this brought up an error. What is the correct format?

complete the attached code (Excel VBA) to automatically process a File Download dialog from Internet Explorer. I want to click "Save" which will produce the "Save As" dialog. Then I need to enter a default filename like (C:Temp) and click "Save" again. When this is working, I will hide Internet Explorer to make the operation completely transparent to the user. The URL is a sample chosen specifically for this test case.
Public Sub Report_Test()
Dim objIE As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
Dim strURL As String
Dim varItem As Variant
' Establish connection to the Internet Explorer application.
Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
' Set Internet Explorer visible.
objIE.Visible = True

I am using the following code to allow the user to select files to open. I have realised that you can create multiple filters with the msoFileDialogFilePicker command, which is very useful, since the program initalliy takes multiple text files, loads them into a workbook as seperate sheets and then saves the workbook as an excel file. Therefore I would like the user to be able to select the text files to load but also to be able to check if the corresponding excel file already exists and if so to be able to directly open this rather than have to create a new file from the text files. Therefore my question is: Is there a way to be able to tell which filter was in use when the file was selected?
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With fd
.AllowMultiSelect = True
.Filters.Clear
.Filters.Add "Excel Files", "*.xls"
.Filters.Add "Text Files", "*.txt"
.Show
' olWin.Activate
A = 1 ...........

Each month I am sent a spreadsheet which contains a list of 100's of different file paths (including file name).
For example (Quater 1 is the document name)
R:ManagementJohn2008SalesSectionAQuater1
I would like to remove the file name from the file path (I will then convert the file paths to hyperlinks which will open the folder the document is stored in but not the document itself.
For example
R:ManagementJohn2008SalesSectionA

I am trying to separate a filename from a filepath in Excel VBA 2003.
I am using the Application. GetOpenFilename command to get the user to select the correct file.
However, this also seems to record the filepath.
I am trying to separate the filename out of this so that each file( name) activates a different sub procedure.
I am storing the result of the getopenfilename as a Variant.
At the moment I am having to specify the full path in order to get each sub to run. This is fine for 1 user - but not for others as the files are stored in different locations for each user.

I'm using this code to import a file, but I want to be able to save just the path (with no file name) to a variable to use for the output file. This code saves the path and file.
FileName = Application. GetOpenFilename _
FileFilter:=Filt, FilterIndex:=FilterIndex, Title:=Title)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I didn't know but what there was a function that I could apply to the 'FileName' variable that would remove the file name...don't know.
