I'm having some trouble showing a messagebox if the user presses OK but doesn't select a folder using msoFileDialogFolderPicker.

The 2 MsgBox's I've added show the same string, yet the If Not InStr line returns true regardless if ":" is in the string or not.
I am creating a document for work that automatically generates hyperlinks to pdf files in a given sub folder. Currently I have a section of code that opens a window to choose the folder location.
Code:
'Prompt user to select a directory
Do
Problem = False
Set ShellApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application"). _
Browseforfolder(0, "Please choose a folder", 0, "c:\")
On Error Resume Next
[Code] ........
What I actually want is to not have the window open, but excel automatically choose the sub folder location.
The directory looks like this
Z:ClientProjectDRAWINGS-2 RECORD COPIESPDF
The xlsm file is stored in the DRAWINGS folder, and I need it to point to the PDF folder.
I have created a browse button in excel and assigned a macro which will ask the user for folder. I figured it out for windows using Windows API Functions as mentioned at http://www.cpearson.com/excel/BrowseFolder.htm. However cannot get it to work for a Mac.

I found some code that works well to index a folder and all sub-folders for file names.
The issue is that the folder used is coded in an excel spreadsheet (cell C7) in the below code and whether to look in sub-folders (cell C8 - True or False).
Code:
Sub ListFiles()
iRow = 11
Call ListMyFiles(Range("C7"), Range("C8"))

I have tried to incorporate the browse for folder and select if sub-folders are used, but it isn't working.

I have run into a problem in a project where I know what the folder root of the file I would like to import into excel is, but I do not know the file name.

All solution I have read assume the full file root is know or file name is known but root is unknown
I am working with Excel 2003.
I have code below which brings up a dialogue box and allows me to sect an excel file. Is there a way to change this code so the dialogue box will ask me to select a folder instead? I want to be able to select a folder and the rest of the code will open the files in the folder.
Sub Euro()
Dim wb1 As Workbook
Dim sFileName1 As String
myMsg = "Please Select Euromcontact Value File"
Response = MsgBox(myMsg, vbExclamation + vbOKOnly, myTitle)
sFileName1 = Application. GetOpenFilename
If sFileName1 = "False" Then Exit Sub
Set wb1 = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=sFileName1)
With wb1
.Activate
End With

View 12 Replies View RelatedI am trying to programatically access a built in excel menu to edit the font dialog for text boxes. Specifically, I want to access the diolag box which opens when a text box is selected and you click the arrow in the bottom right of the font group in the home tab (Excel 2007). I do not want the dialog box which opens when just a cell is selected. The dialog I want has two tabs - font and character spacing. I know how to use application.dialogs().show to open built in dialog boxes in VBA, but I can't figure out how to show this specific dialog.
View 3 Replies View Relatedi'm using Sendkeys Edit Find to open the Find dialog box (works well)...i would like to restrict the searching to only 4 worksheets (of 14) of the workbook...?
(i see the option to select Sheet or Workbook)
I press Shift and click on the selected sheet tabs, goto Edit> Move or Copy Sheets... the dialog box allows move or copy to a new workbook or to an open workbook. Macro doesn't record syntax for the Dialog box. This build-in function also doesnt allow me to selectively choose the worksheets in the active workbook.
I am looking for this code or a sample dialog box as I need to incorporate it as a part of my task automation macro. I would like a dialog box that allows eg. listbox to choose the individual sheets, then with option to Copy only (collectively Copy or Move are also fine) the selected sheets to a new Workbook or an already open Workbook.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIm using code from website: http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal11.html
to display a combobox when I double click any cell that contains a validation list in it. I'm not great with VBA so I am having problems finding what each part of the code does. This is causing problems for another bit of code that I use to display a msgbox when certain values are selected from the list.
The MsgBox shows up great when I select an item from the validation list but does not work at all when I select the same item from the double-clicked combo box. It would be great if I could get the MsgBox to work both ways. This is the code that displays the MsgBox when target value is selected from list
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Select Case Target.AddressLocal(False, False)
Case Is = "B4", "B5", "B6", "B7", "B8", "B9", "B10", "B11", "B12"
If Target.Value = "H" Then
MsgBox "This is a pop for extra information. Savvy?", vbYesNo, "Yo!"
End If
End Select
End Sub...............
I am trying to assigned the values of two adjacent cell in a msgbox (columns AE and AF) as it is to far away for me to scroll and hiding the other columns will cause me to unhid it when I need to enter some information on it.
What I want to do, is when I double click activecell in column B, msgbox will pop and tell me the values nested in the same row under columns AE and AF (contract start date is : in column AE, contract end date : in column AF)
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
MsgBox "Contract Start Date" & ActiveCell.Row.Offset(0, 30).Value & "Contract Start Date" & ActiveCell.Row.Offset(0, 31).Value
End Sub
Users will either accept the numerical entry that is in any cell, or enter a different number or Zero.
I have a few users that have not found the Delete Button, therefore they are typing a Space and hitting Enter, for Zero (nothing).
This is causing alot of problems because there are formulas that work off of these cells, and can't because the "data type is different"
I recorded the below (and also tried the commented out part) but it is not doing what I wish.
The ActiveCell will give the MsgBox after I return to that cell (if I do), but I need the Msg to appear after I leave the cell instead.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = " " Then
'If Target.Cells < " " Then
MsgBox prompt:="Please use the DELETE button or put a ZERO in that cell"
End If
End Sub
I need a MsgBox to show one time for five seconds, and not repeat.
Here is a sample of where I'm at. But this code repeats.

End Sub
I am trying to pop open a messagebox if a cells interior color index = 3 in a named range.

I have an Excel Addin that I deploy as a read-only addin on a server share. I instruct my co-workers to add the Add-In as they would any other Add-In, but I tell the to answer NO to the Windows question "Copy 'AddinName' to the Addins folder for John Doe?".
That way, everyone will be working with the server version of the addin, and any time I want to roll out an updated version I just place a new addin file on the server. The next time the users restart Excel, the new version is loaded.
Except users never follow directions and some of them click the default 'Yes' when asked and get a local copy of the addin and never receive updated versions of the addin.
How do I disable the "Copy Addin" question completely? I don't want to depend on the user. I know this is possible because I have this 3rd party addin that we use that is installed from c:Program Files and it just stays there and you're never asked to copy the addin when you install it in Excel.
I have a folder which contains a number files. What I would like to do is for my spreadsheet to look into that folder and write the filenames to the sheet. And everytime i run it, the file names are just added on.
