Basic Check Box
Jul 18, 2007
I am using a user form in excel VB.
I have read from the help file and online that in order to tell if a checkbox is checked or not you use the code
chk1.CheckBoxState
When I click the checkbox it doesn't work, says data memeber not found
if it helps i am using the code in the ch1.click sub, if that matters
(I want to make if so if the check box is clicked, some text boxes are no longer enabled, the only thing i have trouble wth is the fact i can't tell if its been checked or not)

I would like to do is develop a stand alone program in Visual Basic ( not in Excel VBA) to update the price file in our Portfolio system automatically using the downloaded Excel format file csv extention file from the BigCharts. But before that, I need to export the *.pri file from our Portfolio system in to Excel which still saves as *.pri extention. Then once it updates, I import the updated *.pri file back in our Portfolio program. I understand that the Excel VBA code can be incorporated in Visual Basic code provided there is an object declaration for Excel file (In this case eventhough the both files are in Excel format, they don't have xls extention). how to use external files and Excel VBA code in Visual Basic?
Below is the code that I currently have in Visual Basic. What I'm trying to accomplish is using the ticker (eg. msft) as a keyword search to look up in the price file. If found , the price of that ticker from the test.csv file will be copied in to the price file which is test.pri. I haven't ran it yet.
Sub UpdatePrice(BigChartPath As String, BigChartName As String, AxysPricePath As String, AxysPriceName As String)
'Below are Excel VBA codes
'Uses the test.csv to look up tickers in test.pri and update the price in it
Dim PriceFile As Workbook, BigChartFile As Workbook
Dim PriceFileSheet As Worksheet, BigChartSheet As Worksheet
Dim MaxRows As Long
Dim PriceFileRow As Long
Dim BigChartRow As Long
Dim BigChartFound As Boolean
Call CheckBookOpen(BigChartPath & BigChartName)
Call CheckBookOpen(AxysPricePath & AxysPriceName)
Set BigChartFile = Workbooks(BigChartName) 'Big Chart website imported CSV file saved as test.csv...............

I have been working on an app for a while now and it works for all our PC users. We have some folks in corporate who have macs and the thing just falls on it's face. So, I have taken out the vba on the thisworkbook start up bits in hopes that it can just open and go from there. This is also problematic. So in search on the web, it looks like Macs do not like VBA. So I decided that since the main page entry is just standard formulas, I would just remove all the modules, forms and macros out of the workbook so the whole problem side could be avoided. Well no such luck. When I open it, it asks about macros. If I disable them, it tells me that the macro can not be disabled in 4.0. I built the app in 2000 as it is the lowest version in the office. But this really shouldn't matter because there are no macros in it to start with.
So, my question is... How can I make a very basic, mac safe version from my PC version. I can draw up some VBA to open the mac version and suck in the info I need and save it to PC land.

I used to use VB and VBA years ago for fun, now I have a project at work and I havent touched it since 1999 at least. I am trying to program a function that I can call and pass it a text variable. It will search through excel for that text, and return a cell as a Range. Thats where I run into problems. Heres the
Function lookFor(text As String)
lookFor = Columns("B:C").Find(text, After:=rCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:= _
xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False _
, SearchFormat:=False).Address
End Function
'...then later in the code...
Private Sub search_idBTN_Click()
'...
Dim rCell As Range
Set rCell = lookFor(searchTXT)
'...
End Sub
I think it has something to do with the variable type, its expecting a range and it gets a string or vice versa or something.

I'm trying to put together a basic spreadsheet to track offensive plays for high school football. I'd like a formula that will change the LOS (Line of Scrimmage) to reflect the yards gained on the previous play. The problem is that you'd probably need negative numbers up to 49, and then back down to 0.

I want to be able to put password protection on a button in a spreadsheet. It doesn't need to be secure, as it's just to prevent accidental changes by 4 year olds.
My plan was to store the password value on a hidden worksheet, as I don't think there's a way to retain the value of a VBA variable when a workbook is closed. Is there a neater way to do it?

I have the below formula to make a simple calculation:
=SUM(AC1880+AJ1880)
I would like to adapt the formula to ask IF AG1880 is empty or not. If AG1880 is empty then I would like the formula to NOT make the calculation, but instead return "--" (nothing).
If it contains information, then I want the calculation (AC1880+AJ1880) to be made. If AG1880 contains information it will be text in a text format.

Is there a code you can type in to VBA to allow a picture in a spreadsheet to change when a parameter is specified. For example i have a picture of a timber beam i drew in excel. and i wondered if i could set it up so that when the user inputs the length of beam they are using, the diagram alters to show the length specified.

My company "makes widgets". Each "type of widget" is associated in our internal database with a record locator (five alpha characters). Our company website can also use that record locator to pull up a webpage specifically dedicated to that widget. In addition to the webpage itself, the website also creates an expanded URL which contains additional information about that widget.
I'd like my macro to take a list of record locators, open up the company website related to each specific widget, pull back the expanded URL, and do some text management with the URL to populate other parts of the spreadsheet.
For example, if my record locator is "ABCDE", my macro would go to the website, "http://www.widgets.com/ABCDE". The site then redirects to an expanded URL: "http://www.widgets.com/whole-bunch-of-data-about-the-ABCDE-widget". I'd hope to write a macro which pulls back the expanded URL and does some magic with the "whole bunch of data" part. I've been told that the MSHTML library would be useful for a project of this type. I've been able to connect my spreadsheet to that library, but then I'm not sure what to do with it.

My company uses 4 types of barcodes 8, 12, 13, & 14 number barcodes for our products my problem is that I can't figure out how to force the barcode to format properly no matter how somebody enters it if they don't use spaces or put them in the wrong spots, I can't use custom formats because there is 4 different layouts
8 digit should be "#### ####"
12 digit should be "###### ######"
13 digit should be "# ###### ######"
14 digit should be "# ## ##### ######"
these barcodes are in columns L, M, & N also right now 'm using a formula in another cell to verify the barcodes by calculating the check digit and comparing it to the check digit typed the formula i'm using is

I have data in Row 53 that spans 7 columns, but stays in the same row. I want to design a loop to select every 7th cell in that row and check if it is empty. If not, add onto a "counter" then display the final number of occupied cells (the value of the counter) at the end. This is what I have so far, but I get all sorts of errors.
Code:
Sub Tester()
Dim WB As Workbook
Dim WS As Worksheets
Dim modCounter As Long
Dim Cell As Range
Set WB = Workbook("Transverse Series.xlsm")
Set WS = WB.Sheets(BM18)
[Code] ......

Have a project going and have had a disturbing trend develop. I'm working in Excel 2003. Upon opening the file and enabling macros, I started receiving File/Path errors, at which point it would shut down the application. When opened, I have a splash that would come up, but it wouldn't go to the next userform. At this point I would get the error message and the file would be closed. If I then reopened the file, disabled macros, saved under a different file name, and then reopened with macros enabled, everything worked fine, until I shut it down and then tried to reopen, at which point the same error would occur.
Lately I have simply been getting the Microsoft Excel dialogue box telling me an unexpected error occurred and it had to be shut down. I'm at a loss for what is causing this. The last time this happened, when Excel recovered the file, it told me a repair had been done, and the repair was to basically delete all of the VBA code from the file.

I am encountering a situation wherein each line of VBA code is essentially compiled as I type on that line, instead of when I move to a different line. For example, if the code I entered is incorrect, the compiler waits about half a second and then turns it red. Also, if I enter a space, it deletes it immediately.

I'm sure this is something I've accidently pressed while using VB. My text cursor has changed from the usual 'I' shape to a black box shape. Now instead of adding text where I'm typing it now types over previous work. Is there an easy fix for this.

My code here...
Sub ClearSheet()
Worksheets("Summary").Activate
If Range("CustInfo") = False Then
Range("ICompany, IPhone, IFax, IContact, ICell, IEmail, IAddress, IPOBox, ICity, IState, IZip").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Else
Range("IJobDescription").Select
Selection.ClearContents
End If
For I = 1 To 5
Range("Qty" & I).Select
Selection.ClearContents
Next
End Sub
keeps giving me an error 400. I have reinstalled xl just to see if it was related toan error I recieved earlier relating to VBE6.dll. This still works in another workbook but it doesn't work in this one. All I did was change the Range names and cleaned it up a bit.

I wonder could anyone help me with a problem i'm having, I have a table showing a basic RSA algorithm in excel, for example,
M 13 2197 19 8893887173 13 M
N 14 2744 5 788125 14 N
etc etc,
How the numbers are derived isn't important, what i want to do is create a visual basic form, to allow a user to input a letter, for example M in a text box, click a button, and then the 5 related digits are shown.
So the user inputs M into a text box clicks a button, then 13, 2197, 19, 8893887173 and 13 is output to 5 other text boxes.

I have a VB problem, and it's driving me nuts.
Whenever I run a macro on excel the Microsoft VB editor opens and shows me what the macro looks like. It also runs the macro.
Now, I would very much like it to keep running macros, but I really don't need to see my code every time. It gets really annoying, and I need to run about 40 or 50 different macros on one sheet. How can I make it go away?
PS! It's Excel 2007 for students, Norwegian version.

I'm creating a basic Dart scoring spreadsheet, and its been going absolutely fantastic, but then I was asked to create the Sets and Legs, thats when I got stuck.
I'm looking for a formula (or anything) that will add a Set when the Legs reach the number 3, and then again but make it 2 if that player gets another 3 legs. If you know darts you will understand what I mean.

Dim xlBook As Excel.Workbook
Try
xlBook.Add()
xlBook.Open(FileName:="C:Old Tanglewood Numbers.xls", UpdateLinks:=1)
Now, the xlBook.Add() line is something I just added. I am not sure if it works but i dont think it does. Everytime i try to use Workbooks.Open it tells me that i need to decalre Workbooks, which i thought i did with xlBook. Anyway, I cant get it to work, something is throwing it out of whack.
