"Const StrURI As String" Issue * Now * Automation Error
Sep 9, 2009
I have some code that I am using to import the source code of multiple websites, or at least that is the end goal. I currently can make it import one website but i can't find a way to change the website as i loop the line i need to change is this
*The website link won't work, it is a log in only site, but i think there should be an easy fix but since i am only self taught i don't think i understand the basics behind why thimngs work
Creating a spreadsheet to inventory cups each day. When a macro was invoked do the following:
-unprotect the worksheet
-cut/paste the completed sheet below the current
-bring in the values form the previous day's inventory
-set protection on new spreadsheet to lock the cells
-blank out old values
-reprotect the worksheet
Pretty straightforward and seems to work fine for a few iterations, then crashes with "Run-time error '-2147417848 (80010108)': Automation error. The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.".
As FYI, this code was mostly generated using a record macro session, so no variables involved.
Here is a screenshot of the spreadsheet as it sits now:

Here is the code: Sub NewDay() ' ' NewDay Macro
' Create new day and copy cup count from previous day[code]....
I created a UserForm (userform1) and added a label to it which essentially just says: "Pick a Colour"...
The other UF controls are added on the fly using the below code...however when I try to add the event to each button I get the Automation Error but I don't really understand how / why... the events are actually added to the VB project ok...
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() Dim NewButton As MSForms.CommandButton Dim ws_i, line As Integer Dim clr_str As String For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
I added a dummy routine for test purposes which is to be invoked on click of UF button control (I have tried placing this code in a standard module, within UF module etc to no avail):
Sub HIDE_WS(clr_id As Long) MsgBox clr_id End Sub
So to reiterate -- when I invoke the initialisation of the UF I get the following error:
Automation Error The object invoked has disonnected from its clients
All events are added for each control.
If I remove the adding of the events I know the UF populates with the correct controls etc...
So I haven't seen this error before. It says "Automation error: the object invoked has disconnected from its clients." I think I know what's causing it but am not sure how to go about solving the problem. Barring any inefficiences that the code below contains, can someone please tell me what code I should used to fix this error?
I developed an Excel application for some users. Everything used to wrok very well until recently. When the click some buttons, the error "Automation Error: Object has disconnected from its clients" appears. Problem is, everything works very well on my PC. We run the same Excel version, same OS but I can't seem to find a solution to this problem. I'd have posted the code I'm running here but I don't know how to use the code tags and I don't want to be banned from this forum.
The project is the create checkboxes out of the tab names in a workbook. After that, create a new workbook with the selections made. It is at the point where I pass the array of sheets to be copied that the error occurs. The only thing I can figure is that my variable curWB is not what I think but I declare it to be the original workbook before that point. All of the code is below.
Another possibility is that this code with some other code sits in the worksheet called index. This sheet is being copied to the new workbook also.
VB: Private Sub CommandButton2_Click() Dim oleObj As OLEObject, ole As Object Dim sheetSelection() As String
why a macro that works without a problem in Excel 2010 now crashes Excel 2013. The error produced says 'Automation Error Exception Occurred'. If I place a stop in the code and hold the F8 key down, the code runs perfectly (Excel 2013) but if I run it, it will crash. The code is copying a worksheet into a new workbook, adding 2 more worksheets, saving then emailing the workbook before closing. It goes through the routine about 7 times before crashing (sending only 7 email out). It's something to do with the email because I can bypass that code and it runs that part without a problem.
Our office just upgraded all the computers to Office 2013 and I've got to get this macro running again. I had to email 100 reports one-by-one today and I didn't like it.
I have a VBA macro for automatically create a word report using data in Access and Excel. The macro is hosted within a Excel document but are using both Word-, Excel and Access objects/dataTtemplates for the creation.
The errors appears what it seems randomly. The macro iterates the same code a few times even in Office 365 but then it crashes. The most common error messages are:
Error 1:
Run-time error '-2147417851 (80010105)':
Automation error : The server threw an exception.
Error 2:
Run-time error '462':
The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable
Error 3:
This action cannot be completed because the application () is busy. Choose Switch To to activate and correct the problem.
(no options are working, this hang the application)
If I debug usually the error originates from the code where I ether close the workbook template I'm using:
excelWorkbook.Close False
... or when I paste a chart from Excel to the Word report:
wordDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection.PasteSpecial
Even more strange are that sometimes if I continue to run the macro its all working again. This ONLY happens when the client office installation is O365. Office 2013 works just fine. I thought O365 and Office 2013 was fairly equal?
I keep getting an automation error in excel 2010 when I click on the button that executes the macro. Excel crashes when the box appears. There is no code in the error box. Why I get this error message.
I'm trying to set named range as a constant in VBA, to allow me to recall the same range as an output target in different subs, without having to 'set' it in each module. I have tried to declare it at the top of a module like this...
Public Const tpnb_range = Worksheets(" SQL").Range("tpnbs")
and get a "Compile Error : Constant expression required"
I manage to do a proper search and the return value is correct, but the problem is when I don't get the correct value excel gives me an error, what I can add to make the result just to give me MsgBox "Not found"?
Code below:
Set Ran = Worksheets(2).Range("A:A").Find(CompName, lookat:=xlPart) If Not Ran Is Nothing Then MatchRow = Ran.Row MatchCol = Ran.Column End If
Needing to do a VLOOKUP on two criteria, I have set up a string using "&" to join together the contents of two cells. This is in a workbook with many identical worksheets. The string works for some of the sheets but in others, for reasons I simply cannot fathom, it is returning a #VALUE! error.
I need understanding what is the maximum length of string data type. I read that is 63K characters... but, in my case... maximum value is 253. I don't know why happens this. here is some code from one of my buttons.
Private Sub btn_procesare_Click() Dim intUnit As Integer Dim strBuffer As String Dim contor, var_else, cale, dest, dest_final, masca, filtru, **** As String Dim vntbuf As Variant Dim sql As Variant For i = 0 To Me.ListBox2.ListCount - 1 Application.Worksheets(1). Range("A" & i + 2).Value = Me.ListBox2.List(i, 0) Next...........................
when watch for x, the value is maximum 253 characters. I get error Data Type Mismatch - Error 13 with this.
With the following procedure, I am using a Part ID number to look up that part's location in a worksheet. To do this, I am using the DGET function which now works, thanks to all who helped with those issues.
But now I'm trying to harness the outcomes from that function. --It displays #VALUE! if the part ID number was not found in my worksheet and therefore the function can't return a location. --It displays # NUM! if the part ID number was found in multiple records/rows in my worksheet and so it has multiple corresponding locations.
I am trying to construct an IF section that will clarify what these mean to anyone running this macro. I want to replace #VALUE! with "Not Found" and #NUM! with "Numerous".
The issue arises when I compare the result of the function with the #VALUE! or #NUM! strings. I've tried StrComp and a simple equals sign (as below) I've even tried having Option Compare at the top, though I'm not familiar with how that would change things. But I am getting "Type Mismatch Error 13" all the time. I also get that error when set my DGET function = to a variable (Dim'ed as string)
Variables to point out: ---Sheeti is a Publically defined Worksheet ---'CriteriaRange : Publically defined Range that is empty (until assigned criteria for my DGET function later within my loop) ---'InventoryRange : Pubically defined Range that contains inventory data that I look through with my DGET function (Items in the inventory are identifyable by a string I call "sItem" and each has a location in a corresponding column that I am looking for with my DGET function)
Public Sub LoopThruParts()
Dim y As Integer Dim sItem As String Dim ValueError As String Dim NumError As String
criteria is bascially month and week based when i apply average forumla for a month i did get the avg for a month but when a record for tht month is unfilled eg weekend is off so no values for that date that displays div/0 error.
I want a Macro which cud change this div/0 error in a selected range to be null so it didn't reflect in avg function on final sheet and gives that value there. i know that it can be handle by updating the forumla
=IF(B1=0,"",A1/B1)
but i want this solution for 30 sheets for which in value filled range macro either deletes div/0 error or place null value there.
Cells. Find(What:=searchterm, After:=Cells(1, 1), MatchCase:=False).Activate 'find pn that is stored in searchterm
causes a runtime error 91 when there are no results. "Object variable or with block variable not set"
Ideally, when there are no results, I would like to enter a loop, where I could provide a drop down list of fuzzy matches, but I am not sure excel can do fuzzy matches. I'd settle for just highlighting the row and moving on... any help?
Option Explicit
Sub Macro1()
ActiveSheet.Cells.Find(What:="AES", After:=Cells(1, 1), MatchCase:=False).Activate 'find the aes part number column Dim aescolumn 'create variable for index value of aes column aescolumn = ActiveCell.Column 'set variable to index number
This workbook is designed to prompt the user with inputboxes allowing them to enter a name, hyperlink a file to that name, and then a date. Next all the drawing names are read into an array and stored. Along with some minor sheet formatting, this is what happens when the button "Add Drawing" is clicked.
Next, when the button "Revise Drawing" is clicked, the user will be prompted with an inputbox for a drawing name. This name will be compared to the names in the array. If the name is found, the row containing that drawing will selected and the user will be prompted to update the hyperlink, then the "drawing date" will be moved to the right by one column, then the user will be prompted for another date replacing the date that was moved. The first sequence of commands or button works fine. The button "Revise Drawing" prompts the user with the inputbox requesting the revised drawing name, then develops the runtime error 1004.
I'm trying to do some automation of a website that has one of those annoying javascript popup dialog boxes you have to click OK on before you can progress. How can I kill that so that I don't have to manually click on "Ok" so that my macro can keep running?
You take an input, click a button. This will them create a small HTML table with a text input box and another button.
Sub VisitWebsite() Dim ie As Object Dim tcode As String Dim sURL As String Set ie = CreateObject("INTERNETEXPLORER.APPLICATION") sURL = http://sample.jsp ie.navigate sURL ie.Visible = True tcode = "apples"
While ie.busy DoEvents Wend Application.Wait Now() + TimeValue("00:00:03")
For Each ieForm In ie.document.forms ieForm(1).Value = tcode ieForm.submit Set ieForm = Nothing Exit For Next The code ieForm(1).Value = tcode works. The code ieForm.submit also hits submit on the button.
The problem is I cannnot figure out how to access the 2nd button which is generated when you click the 1st button. I have tried every variation of ieForm(1).Value. There appears to be only 3 forms (0, 1, 2). When I try 3 or greater, I get an error.
When I use ieForm(2).Value = "something", the Retrieve button text actually changes name to "something".
I've attached a screen shot of the webpage. I can insert text into the top Track Code box, and click Retrieve.
I can't change the text in the Routing Position field, and I cannot click the "Set" button. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am still a beginner with VBA and it took me a while just to get it to work with the 1st input box.
The above is a screenshot of the data analysis (regression) I want to automate with vba code. Like all macros, I tried to record first and only got the following
I am trying to create a document that automatically sends an email whenever a field reaches a certain value. I am pulling the data from different worksheets onto a summary worksheet and using the data on the summary sheet as the point at which my code checks to see whether the value is below the minimum required. The summary sheet updates automatically whenever I change the data in one of the other sheets but the email will not send automatically when the summary sheet is updated. When I run the macro individually the email sends, however I need some way of triggering it so that it sends automatically upon the data in the field changing. Can anyone help me with this?
Here is an example of some of the code I am using:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Not Application.Intersect(Range("D3"), Target) Is Nothing Then If IsNumeric(Target.Value) And Target.Value < 1 Then ANDES1 End If End If If Not Application.Intersect(Range("E3"), Target) Is Nothing Then If IsNumeric(Target.Value) And Target.Value < 1 Then ANDES2 End If End If End Sub
We are trying to automate the creation of PDF files for each sheet in an Excel file,a nd keep getting error messages. Can someone help? It produces the post script file, but it has no data nd then doesn't create a PDf file at all. We have Excel 2003, and have the below code setup.
I have a file that I update daily. It involves opening the file, going to a drop down menu and selecting 1 of the listed items and pressing a button to run the macro. Once the macro is complete, I then go back to the dropdown menu and select the next line item and press the same button to run the macro on this. I repeat this task 7times.
All the macro does is load a txt file to a third party system.
I am looking to see if it is possible to reduce the time it takes to do this task.
should the line be set : ObjXL.displayAlerts = True - befor the objxl.Quit ? - before the Objxl.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:= aname how to close the ObjXL with out orphaning a process.
OR??? ObjXL.ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Data1", RefersToR1C1Local:=ObjXL.Range("A5").CurrentRegion Will this line of code create a 2nd instance of Excel?
