Created a button in a spreadsheet but cannot activate the shortcut menu that contains "assign macro." Help says select the button, right click on a handle and a shortcut menu appears with "assign macro." Not. I right clicked every handle numerous times and get the regular shortcut menu without the "assign macro" option.
View 9 RepliesWhile practicing writing macros and studying the VBA code, I decided to add a button to run the macro, something I've done many times in the past. But the option to associate the new button with any macro doesn't seem to be available.
A. How can I assign a new button to a macro
and
B. How can I make the association in VBA?
I have to modify 2000 files so I've written a master file that loops through a list, importing modules and forms into the 2000 files it opens and closes. On each file when open it draws a button on worksheet. I then want to assign a macro to the button called "ModifyMenu" . The code for 'Modifymenu' is imported into file_01.xls and is a unique name. It does not exist is master.xls, so no confusion.
The code for assigning the code is as follows :
Windows("file_01.xls").Activate
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Button").Select
or
Workbooks("file_01.xls").Sheets("1 B").Shapes("Button").Select
Then
Selection.OnAction = "ModifyMenu"
(This links to master.xls!ModifyMenu not file_01.xls)
Selection.OnAction = "file_01.xls!ModifyMenu"
(This fails, runtime 1004. 'Unable to set the OnAction property of the button class)
Selection.OnAction = ThisWorkbook.Name & "!ModifyMenu"
(This links to master. MAster is the active code even though 'file_01.xls' is the active worksheet)
Variations on the above seem to result in the same 1004 error or linking back to master regardless of the fact I'm trying to link to file_01.xls.
I have a start page in the beginning of my excel workbook.

I tried recording a macro and this is what excel so eloquently gave me:
ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add(384.75, 60.75, 79.5, 39.75).Select
Selection.OnAction = "CreateImport"
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Button 1").Select
Selection.Characters.Text = "Parse Deposits for Import"
With Selection.Characters(Start:=1, Length:=25).Font
. Name = "Arial"
.FontStyle = "Regular"
.Size = 10
.Strikethrough = False
.Superscript = False
.Subscript = False
.OutlineFont = False
.Shadow = False
.Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.TintAndShade = 0
.ThemeFont = xlThemeFontNone
End With
This works fine, my only problem is if the button that is created is actually named Button2 or 3, etc. Is there a way to assign the new button to a variable, or would it be an object? this way it wouldn't matter what it was named.
I'm trying to assign a shortcut to a macro I wrote in VB. However, when I go to Tools->Macros->Macros, none of my macros (whether coded in VB or recorded) have the "Options..." button enabled, so I can't assign the macro. This happens whether I use Excel 2003 or Excel 2007. The file is not readonly and I have tried the various levels of macro security. I have VBA installed.

I'm verrry new to editing VBA code and I've been trying to figure out how to send a column of data ("Min Data" AB3:AB21 from "Sheet1") to a worksheet ("F4" - Min) and sending another column of data ("Max Data" AC3:AC21 from "Sheet1") to a different worksheet ("F4" - Max) by using only the one button ("Record Data" from "Sheet1"

Can anyone help me out here? If what i'm asking for isn't clear enough, just let me know and i'll try to explain in more detail.
I am running excel 2010 with windows 7. I created a macro in sheet 1 and I wish to activate the macro from sheet 2 using a form button. I have entered the code below. I know how to perform this function on a more simple macro like adding names to cells. This code is a bit more complex I just dont know where to start.
Code:
Sub LoanData()

' LoanData Macro

How can I execute two macros with one button press?
the sub names are CDO_Text and CDO_Mail
I need to assign two actions to a one button.
1. action: Copy Column A, paste to Column C
2. Write time&date into G5
I am only capable of doing one button for each action using the macro recorder and simple code:
[Code] .....
I have had the following written for me
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
For Each Cell In Target
If Cell.Column = 4 and Cell.row >= 17 and Cell.row <= 20 Then
If Cell <>"" Then
Cell.Offset(0, 3) = Date
Else
Cell.Offset(0, 3) = ""
End If
End If
Next Cell
End Sub
I wish to assign that code to a button on sheet 1.
I normally just right click the buitton and assign the macro, but on this occasion I can't. I think it's to do with it being a private sub.
I am creating controls on a Userform on the fly. A shortened example of my code to create a button is below:
Set BtnEdit = .Controls.Add("Forms.CommandButton.1", "BtnEdit", True)
With BtnEdit
.Left = 220
.Top = 85
.Width = 50
.Font.Underline = True
.Caption = "Edit"
.Enabled = True
End With
What I want to do is assign a pre-existing sub-routine to the button, at the same time as I create it. I have tried using
.OnAction = Mysubroutine
My excel version is 2007 and i am on WIN7 64bit
I have a workbook with VBA which was working fine earlier. Lately i have been getting
"Runtime error 1004" Select method of button class failed.
I am adding buttons dynamically in a loop in a sheet and what surprise me is , i go to debug mode when error pops up and it points to below line
MySheet.Buttons.Add(ActiveCell.Left - 5, 25, 20).Select
but my code is running in a loop and i can see that atleast 20 buttons were added and it fails to select when it try to add this iteration. It is completely confusing me.
My entire below code is in a loop
Code:
maWrk.Cells(xIt1, yIt2).Select
mySheet.Buttons.Add(ActiveCell.Left - 5, 25, 20).Select
Selection.OnAction = "callMe"
[Code]....
I also notice that when it fails, on select method .. the button was actually added to the sheet with caption/name as "Button 65536" but then fails to select it. What makes the select to fail after adding the button? Could there be anything special with Button 65536?
Is there any better way to code the adding button and setting action and name for excel 2007?
note before entering the loop i am deleting all the shapes with myShape.Delete which name matches "btRun"
I also want to highlight that i don't have 65536 rows in my sheet. I just have 200 rows. and when this error happens it is on row 150 so firstly i wonder why it is naming the button as Button 65536. I would assume it will start with 1 and go on increments.
What makes excel to fail to select an added button in VBA?
Userform2 is popped up from another userform3.
How can I have userform 3 when clicked fill in a textbox on userform2 and then finally assign it to cell F3 on my worksheet.
VB:
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()End Sub
So I need commandbutton2 (which needs to retain a value of 1` when clicked ) on Userform3 to assign the value of 1 to TextBox44 (Which is using control Source F3 so the value here ends up in F3
VB:
Private Sub TextBox44_Change()
If TextBox44 > 5 Then
MsgBox "Your entry must be part between 1 and 5", vbCritical
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
Sheet 2 contains a drop down list containing names, would like to assign a Macro to a button on same sheet that would refer to sheet 3 based on certain criteria.
Sheet 3 contains columns A - K of data. 2 criteria, data in column D and column K. Column D would be the same as names in the drop down list, whereas column K refers to a constant, either y or n.
Example: If D contains "Cheddar" and K contains "Y", copy and paste A:K to Sheet1, preferably starting at row 7.
My file has 8 sheets with identical linked drop-down boxes at the top. Sheet1 has a graph that needs to be sorted from top to bottom each time a drop-down box from any of the sheets is adjusted. Using tips from this site, my macro moves to Sheet1, sorts, and then returns to whichever sheet I start at.
This works if the first drop-down box I adjust is from Sheet1. If the first drop-down box I adjust is from any other sheet I get "Run-time error '1004': Sort Method of Range Class Failed." Basically I get an error unless I use a Sheet1 drop-down box first. After using a Sheet1 drop-down box, all sheets work without error. How can I fix this error? Below is my macro................
So this is my first attempt at creating a UserForm progress bar. I currently have the status bar doing basically what I am trying to accomplish but I'm trying to broaden my skills (BTW, I've deleted all company sensitive data but the code should still work for you). I got almost all of this code from microsoft's web page on UserForm Progress Bars and then modified it to work with my existing code. When I execute the code (Click the macro button) the UserForm comes up, but the progress bar is not updating like I was expecting.

I am trying to write a code enabling some calculations. As part of this code I want to find an integer in an excel range. I set the variable (integer) as Rvalue and wrote the following:
Selection.Find(Rvalue).Activate
which works fine as long as the find is successful. The issue I have however is when the variable cannot be found. I tried using the "iserror" function in vba but it appears that excel/vba does not recognise this issue as an error; I could use an excel formula (i.e. if(iserror(vlookup...) but I would prefer to find out how to handle the issue in vba.
I am working on a file which is a log of all the requests we send out to our vendors. We regularly need to re-send these requests to remind them they haven't responded yet, so I am working on a macro which takes the info from the log and re-populates the request form so everything doesn't have to be re-typed every time. I've added a MsgBox as a double-check to force people to confirm they want to re-send the request.
My problem is that if you hit "No" on the MsgBox, then try to run the code again, it gives me a Run-time Error 1004 saying "Paste method of Worksheet class failed". Can someone look at my code and see if you can tell me why it works the first time but not the second?

I written VBA code to create a new sheet and embed a command button on it. I want to assign a macro to this button but when I click on the button the assign macro button is greyed out. I have plenty of macros saved and the VBA code has finished running so why should this be?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have used the macro recorder to generate the select range and clear part of the following macro.
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim test As Worksheet

I get the runtime error 1004 - Select method of range class failed.
I have used similar script in other macros without error.
Context: I have a spreadsheet that contains a list of employee names and their certifications. I want to be able to assign a button to each employee in column B with a macro that is able to zip files from a folder that contains that employees name.
The following code assigns buttons to each employee in column B. At the moment the code I have is able to assign the macro "Zip" to each button.
[Code] .....
Now, this Zip macro is able to zip the file for the employee "Anthony Tran". However I need it to be able to recognise which employee's button I've clicked and search the same files as above except with that employees name instead of "Anthony Tran".
If it makes things easier, the code for creating buttons for each employee is able to name that button as the employees name that it represents.
This is probably really straight forward but cant see why it happens, the following macro works fine when called by a button created by the form toolbar but doesnt when called by a command button, get the runtime error 1004, "select method of range class failed"
ActiveSheet.Select
Range("B4:B37").Select
Selection.ClearContents
