Insert Picture From File Increases File Size More Than The Picture You Inserting
I am putting together a price list in excel and using images and hyperlinks to jazz it up a bit - what I am finding is that if I insert a 25KB GIF image, the excel file grows in size by over 100KB

why is this disproportionate growth happening and is there a way around it - I dont want my Price List growing too large but need the images....?

Copy A Picture From On Location To Another On The Same HD
First of all, I would like to thank all Excel Forum Moderators and Members especially Andy Pope for the great effort they exert to help all members.

Lately, I viewed the thread available on the following link and I admired the great perfect work and codes provided by Andy Pope so much,

http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...-userform.html

My request is similar to the points discussed in the above mentioned thread, but, it is a little bit different ..

Instead of inserting the picture to the worksheet, I want the picture to be copied from one folder on the HD to another folder called (Employees photos), which is located in workbook's path.

In other words, I need a code to copy one jpg picture from one location to another.

Macro To Prompt Where To Browse For The File
I have looked in books and online and can't seem to locate how to create a macro that opens a browse function. From Excel I would like to click a button to start a macro and have that macro prompt me where to browse for the file. There is a lot of other code that will go after this step (which I already have), so once I click to "open" a file I want the macro to continue.

Browse For File User Input
Does VBA support any type of "browse for file" interface? I'm thinking something similar to an inputbox, but instead it gives you the standard looking windows explorer window to find a file (think adding an attachment in outlook).
The function would return a string.

Suppress Browse For File When Copy Formula Linked To Other Workbooks
I am trying to write some VBA that will select a row of cells that each have links to cells in another workbook, and then either autofill the formulas down (or pastespecial them down) for 20 rows. I have that part down using either pastespecial or autofill, but -

Since the forumulas are links to another workbook, Excel wants to resolve that link to calculate the values at the time of the pastespecial or autfill. If the sourced workbook is not open, the "browse for file" popup displays. I don't want the popup to display and would rather just get the #REF in the pasted cells and let it resolve the next time the sourced workbook is open. The end result would be like clicking "cancel" to the "browse for file popup", which I'm tired of constantly doing... I would just like to skip that popup all together and get the #REF value.

Insert A Picture In The Word File?
I had copied a macro from this forum [it was posted by either shg or NBVC], and I modified it to fit my needs. The macro creates a new word document and sends a series of cells from an excel worksheet column to this word file. Everything works fine, but now I need to insert a picture after row 14. I have inserted the code [colored red], but I am sure the syntax or something isn't right. That part doesn't work.

Reference A File Location In A Formula
if this is possible, but is there anyway to reference a file location in a formula using another cell?

EG:

Cell A2 (Text) = C:Folder1Folder2Folder3Sheet v1.2.xls
Cell B2 = =A2'tab1'!$A$1

So, in cell B2 it will use the file location in cell A2.

I need this because the values will be updated in Sheet v1.2 and version controlled (so if it changes to 1.3 all you have to do is change cell A2).

I have a a FileSearch that lookings in a specific Folder and the sub folders for a file type and then saves them to a different location. Here is the location of the save in regards to the original location...

Filesearch folder= C:path
Savefolder=C:path he folder its found in & " excel converted"

If that makes any sense, basically I need to call the path of the file I opened, but not including the file name.

File Location For Screen Prints
I am trying to write a macro which does a screen print of a couple of sheets in a spreadsheet. I created the macro using the recorder function and then trimmed it down a bit. However, when I run the macro it pops up with the box asking for a file location, and this is not something that the recoder function seems to write into the macro. I am not sure how to have the macro autofil the file location for the screen print. Is there anyone out there who can give me a hand with this? Thanks. The code for the macro is below...

Sub ScreenPrint()
Sheets( Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3")).Select
Application.ActivePrinter = "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer on Ne00:"
Selection.PrintOut Copies:=1, ActivePrinter:= _
"Microsoft Office Document Image Writer on Ne00:", Collate:=True
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
End Sub

Protected Sheet - Insert Picture File
Workbook Password Protect 2 Levels. I have managed to write simple but effective code that allows only one password to be enetered to open a SS & offers 3 levels of protection, limited permission to enter data, read-only & data completely hidden. This is excellent for my needs however I want the user who has limited rw to be able to insert a pic file which is their signature but because the sheet has protected cells it won't allow user to insert picture jpg file.

I have just thought of a creative solution tho. What if the picture file is already saved in the workbook and by using code to ask to insert pic file it copies from one location in SS to the appropriate cell in the worksheets?

The scenario is that I have fortnightly timesheets in 12 calendar months in 12 separate sheets. When staff member fills in timesheet I want them to insert signature for that f/night indicating thatthey have filled it in & it is correct but because of protection it won't allow me to.

Copy Data From Named File And Location
I am trying to set up a file name and path in a cell, and then use this from a number of other cells but with a cell location added to it. So for example:

cell A1 contains a file name "c:mydirectoryexcelfile.xls"

cell A2 needs to contain the contents of the cell at location K12 (for example) from the file referred to in A1
cell A3 needs to contain the contents of the cell at location K13 (for example) from the file referred to in A1

This is to save having to put the filename and cell reference in all of the of cells. I would then do the same thing with another file in column B of this file and the same with column C etc.

Download And Save Picture From Url Into Local File
I have a program operating in excel 2007 that extracts a picture from a URL and puts it into a PPT slide. I now discover that PPT 2007 doesn't allow this.

So my intent now is to download the jpg into a local file and then import into the PPT.

This is from a couple of sites:
[url]
[url]

At the top of the code:

Option Explicit

Private Declare Function URLDownloadToFile Lib "urlmon" Alias "URLDownloadToFileA" _
(ByVal pCaller As Long, _
ByVal szURL As String, _
ByVal szFileName As String, _
ByVal dwReserved As Long, _
ByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long

in the excel cell if a URL picture needs to be inserted it starts with the prefix "picture=" then the http address.

This did not work.

So I then copied the code from the websites into a module (changing the destination file and URL to mine of course) and called the procedure and still nothing.

Put Chosen File Name Into Textbox

Private Sub cmdBrowse_Click()

Dim b As Boolean
b = Application.Dialogs(xlDialogFindFile).Show

End Sub

The file should not have been sorted automatically because,user need to type in another inputs before running the process.

Find A File And Present Its Location (Path) In A MsgBox
I am looking for a VBA Code which will:

1. Search for a specific File.

The file will the same file (ABC.xls) BUT the user might want to change it by typing a new name & Extension in the first Inputbox.

2. A second InputBox (Drive & Path) should now Pop-up.

If it will be left empty - the search should take place throughout ALL the installed HDs.

If the user decides to minimize the search range he/she will type a Drive & Path, the search should reduce/constrain itself to the specific Path ONLY.

My task is to show its Path location in a MsgBox (or to show "file not found")

It might be a good idea if the code can be extended beyond presenting the Path to:
1. Open the Windows "Explorer" (or "My Computer") in the specific Path with the file being selected (marked).

2. Opening that file, in "Excel", upon finding it.

A 3 section, VBA, code will be more than appreciated.

Save As Macro With Location Prompt But Fixed File Name ?
For a sheet that many non-expert users will use on different systems I need a macro that let's them save, print and send the results of their work. So I made a macro that makes a copy of only 1 sheet of the workbook and saves it with a given name to a given location. The problem is that I want a location prompt to ask the user where they want the file saved, while giving/suggesting them a fixed filename. A lot of different users will make and use their sheets so I need a certain naming policy to manage all the files. (date, location, etc)

Is this possible knowing that workbooks filenames are changeable?
Moreover Can the value of A1 from any new workbook added to the same folder be added automatically?...

Can the formula typed in AA1 from Collected.xls be draged down?(So as to show the sum of Cells B1 and C1.....etc) from each workbook?

simplify this process with maybe another formula that I might not be aware of, or maybe show me how to get this done in VB code. I think VB code would be the correct way to go just not sure.

File May Be Read-Only, Or You May Be Trying To Access A Read-Only Location
I'm trying to open a file on a network drive...but I'm getting the following error message when it opens: "This file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or the server the document is stored on may not be responding." Now, the file itself has no rights restrictions and is not read only. It doesn't appear to be locked.

Now, there are other Excel files in the same directory which I could open fine; however, the Excel documents having the above problem all have a little black icon "appears to be a padlock" (image attached) at the bottom left hand side of the Excel file icon. I tried the following:

- Renaming
- Converting to a different file format (didn't work, it won't let me)
- Opening in notepad...etc doesn't work.

This file is dated back in 2004...do you think it's corrupt? Is there anything i can do to open or recover this?

Picture Based On A Value In A Cell
I have found a few solutions here in the message boards but I don't see one that totally matches what I need. Basically I want it to look up the clients logos. We only have a few clients but when sending the report to a client we don't want them to be able to see or find who our other clients are or their logos. So I need it to display a picture based on a value but to also have the pictures on a seperate sheet that I can delete before distributing.


A variation of this would work but this stores all the pics on the report sheet and just hides the non active ones.

Unhide Picture If Cell Contains Value
I have attached a simplified version of the xls I am using. On the attached xls there are two tabs. The first tab (BUYS) has linked pictures of cells on the second tab (Warehousing).

I would like some code which would display the pictures only when the corresponding cells in Column F have a number in it. (This number could be anything)

e.g. If cell F4 has a number in it show Picture 1
If cells F4 and F5 have a number in them show Picture 1 and 2

My full xls (not attached) has another tab called SELLS. These two tabs (BUYS and SELLS) have 15 pictures each (1 for each row 4:18).

Ideally an exception would be written into the code so that if the xls was named "yymmdd Asian Executions" or "yymmdd Europe Executions" none of the pictures would show up.

I hope I have been clear but it's very difficult to be objective so please let me know if you need any more information.

Check Each Cell In Range For Value & Put Text In Offset Cell
I'm trying to look at a value in one column (Column A) and if it matches a set of criteria, I'm trying to change the value of another cell 6 columns to the right.(Column G) I've been trying for a couple of days now to get this working, but to no avail. I've tried to modify the code below that I've found on this site but can't quite figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Sub RatingsFix1SP()
Dim FindWhat, rngCell As Range, i As Integer
FindWhat = Array("BB", "B", "CCC", "CC", "C", "CCC+")
For i = 0 To 3
For Each rngCell In Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
If InStr(rngCell, FindWhat(i)) <> 0 Then
rngCell.Offset(0, 6) = 0.15
End If
Next rngCell
Next i
End Sub

To try to clarify a bit: If column A in the attached spreadsheet has a rating code of BB, B, CCC, CC, C, or CCC+, I want the Haircut % rate in column G to be 15%. It seems the code that I'm using changes the % rate to 15% if any "B" or "C" shows up in any part of the string in column A.
