Automated Reply To Inactive Window
Jun 30, 2007
I am using PrimoPDF, as suggested elsewhere in the forum, to attach a PDF to an E:Mail and send it automatically, it works a treat ... however, I do have to manually intervene to click on the OK button & then again to click on YES when the filename is duplicate. I would like to automate these actions and am looking for a way to do it. It looked like the SendKeys command was perfect, but I'm not 100% sure how to do it. The PrimoPDF window is open, named as "PrimoPDF", but is not my active window, so I have put PrimoPDF.SendKeys "{Enter}"
... into the program but I am getting the error message "Run Time Error '424': Object required". Is this something to do with my code ? I am guessing that the program isn't recognising that PrimoPDF is an open & inactive window, so am I missing a prefix here or is it something more serious, like having to add a new Component or Additional Controls ?

I have a macro which sends an excel file to certain recipients via outlook. I have embedded the voting buttons in the same macro. However, when I respond to the voting buttons, I am unable to add the sender and another group. The current macro .readrecipients, enables me to send it to the sender. I would like to add another group id to the same.

I am currently trying to automate a receipt system. I have successfully managed to create an email based on calculated Excel data. The email is created using the following routine.
callref="12345"
strbody = "The main text of the email"
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
OutApp.Session.Logon
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = "John Smith"
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "Test email receipt - " & callref
.Body = strbody
.Display 'or .Send - still developing!!!
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
My problem is that there will be several people using this system so I would like to include a reply address which is different from the sender. Alternatively, I would like to send the email from a different account (but I have to assume that the users will have their own email accounts open).

I’m currently writing a code, which will enable me to run a code, which will reply to a selected email with standard text in the cc, subject, body, and so on.
The code that I managed to write creates a new email message, instead I want the code to select "reply to all" to the email that I’ve selected, and then fill in the cc, subject, body, and so on.
Sub test()
Dim msg As Outlook.MailItem
Set msg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
msg.Display
msg.CC = "test@hotmail.com"
msg.Subject = "testing!"
msg.Body = "hello all" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "We agree to your call..."
End Sub

i have a workbook that contained a single sheet, i ciopied this sheet and amended them accordingly (ie picking up different variables etc).
For some reason every now and again some of the cells on the sheets that are effectively copies of the original dont update, i literally have to click on them and hit Enter.
I know that calculation is switched on as automatic.

I added a combo box to each sheet of a workbook. Each box referenced a range within the sheet and linked to a cell on the sheet. Each box was tested and worked perfectly. Yesterday. On opening the book today, however, I've discovered each combo box is dead in the water. They are totally inactive and can't be activated in any way. I've checked the properties sheet for each and can't see anything out sorts. As a test, I added a new combo box to a sheet, and interestingly enough, it not only works fine, but also seems to have activated the original box, which also now works fine. Other boxes on the other sheets are still inactive, however.

I am having a "cosmetic" issue that I was curious if I can fix it.. I have a workbook that opens a network workbook, saves some data to it, and then closes the network workbook.
Everything is working fine, except I cant get the code to "reactivate" the initial workbook. After excel saves and closes the 2nd workbook I opened, my screen stays on my desktop, instead of refocusing on the initial workbook. I have to manually click on the initial workbook in my taskbar to bring it back into focus...
I thought the below code would bring the inital workbook back into "focus" on the users screen, but it's not working.
Windows("NEWRightFit.xls").Activate
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Windows("sxssubmit.xls").Activate
Confirmation.Show
End Sub
I just moved the Application.ScreenUpdating line as initially I had it at the very bottom, but that did not correct. The confirmation.show is just a dialog box that informs the user the changes were saved successfully. I would like the first workbook "sxssubmit.xls" to come back into focus automatically though, without the user having to manually select it from the taskbar.
What is my code missing?

Is there any way someone can put the option of "SOLVED" on the post reply when you are the orginal poster.
Now you have to reply to the post then go back into your orginal post to mark it solved. they would be more willing to mark the thread solved. I have noticed many people get an answer and never respond or mark solved.

I use the 'on time' function to kick users out of a shared workbook after 30 minutes of inactivity (i.e. no cells updated). Technically it works, as it does kick out the users.
However the time after which it does so seems to bear no relation to the time I have instructed. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer! If it is was always longer, I would be happy that there is an error in my code somewhere (i.e. the time value is resetting on an unexpected event that I need to find and alter).

I need to grab data from one sheet while I'm in a different one - same workbook, however. From the first sheet, the data that I need would be an "activeCell.value" issue. From the other sheet, however, how can I get that cell's data - an "inactiveCell.value" call, in essence? Right now, I'm getting around it by assigning the value to a global variable but that seems wasteful.

I want to create ranges in a worksheet that is inactive.I have 3 sheets in the worksheet and i want, while the first sheet remains active, to create ranges in the second one.
I'm using the following code that creates no errors no matter how i use it but it works only if the second sheet is active.

I open two spreadsheets only. In one of them I would like the filename of the other spreadsheet shown in cell A1.
The reason why is the filename is a 6 number date and I'd like to confirm it showing in full format.

CopyPaste operations leaves the goal range selected and I don't want that. The .Activate and .Select methods seem to require that the cell to be selected refers to the ActiveSheet.
What I'm doing now to change the active-cell is kind of:
1. Disable ScreenUpdating
2. Save a reference to ActiveCell
3. Activate the relevant goal-worksheet
4. Change the ActiveCell to the upper-left-cell of the Selection
5. Come back by the reference in point number 2
6. Enable ScreenUpdating.
It works, but seems to me as a huge job for something as simple than "collapsing" a multi-cell-selection. Another irritating problem is the slight screen-shaking caused by the disabling/enabling ScreenUpdating.

I'm just trying to figure out how to implment UDFs. I got a nice tool that provides linear interpolation for a data table. Unfortunately after saving, closing and opening the file the cells only show #NAME? in it. Do I have to activate macros or something like that?

I tried to save a macro but it doesn't work (I am inexperienced!).
What I need is to copy five columns (e.g. range C:G) and copy it in another sheet ('1' range C:G). Subsequently, I have to copy the next range of five columns available (i.e. range H:L) and copy it in the consecutive sheet (i.e. '2' range C:G), and so on.

I have a drop down lets say in cell A1. Based on what value is selected in A1, the user should see a different set of check boxes. My thought, which may not be the best way to implement this, is to have all the check boxes and depending on the value selected in A1, the check boxes that are relevant should be active or visible, while the unneeded ones are inactive or invisible.

I have a large excel sheet that will take a lot of time grouping it manually, so I was wondering if there was some way somebody could help me out with creating a code in VB to automate this grouping for me. All I would need is something to read through the rows of one column and when it finds a blank row, keep scanning until the next blank row and then group the data between the two blank rows. I have attached a small portion of the excel sheet I am working with if you need to get a visual of what I am needing.

I have a monthly report that I get with lab tests and amounts ordered. (I will copy a section for you to see). The Director wants it to be compiled into an easy to read, 1 test with totals. The way i get the data is broken down by site (we have 5). So, i may have between 1-5 rows of the same test with a total for each. I want to set up a Macro/Script that would go through the report and automatically add the same test codes together. My long term goal is to have it pull the Test Number, Test Name and Total Count into a separate worksheet, with the Total Count being the count of all the same tests.

I have been trying to create a macro that would create a schedule for me based on date and a product type. In columns K-N I have an IF statement that tells when a shipment would need to arrive in a row that corresponds with a date (column A is 1/1/2015 - 12/31/2015). On the next page I would like to generate a schedule that lists the dates that all of the products are needed in chronological order. I've tried to use custom functions like finding the nth_occurence but it just gets way too messy with so many shipments.
