This should be so easy, but I know I am missing something. I know that you can only create one directory on one statement line at a time with MkDir. in the "var_dir_path" resides a part number that changes dynamically.
Private Sub CreateFolderFromCellPath2_Click()...
Customer directory inside the "masterfile drive". Part number subdirectory of the Customer Directory. 5 subdirectorys of the Part Number Directory. 2 subsubdirectories of one of the 5 subdrectories. That is reference only.
Private Sub CreateFolderFromCellPath8_Click()
Dim s1 As String, s2 As String, s3 As String, s4 As String, s5 As String, s6 As String, s7 As String, s8 As String, s9 As String, s10 As String
var_path_masterfile_cust_name = Worksheets("RFQ").Range("AF48").Value
var_path_part_number = Worksheets("RFQ").Range("AF49").Value
var_path_Correspondence = Worksheets("RFQ").Range("AF50").Value
var_path_Customer_Service = Worksheets("RFQ").Range("AF51").Value
var_path_Engineering = Worksheets("RFQ").Range("AF52").Value
var_path_Purchasing = Worksheets("RFQ").Range("AF53").Value
var_path_Quality_Assurance = Worksheets("RFQ").Range("AF54").Value
var_path_Sales = Worksheets("RFQ").Range("AF55").Value....................
The variables are grabbing the path directly out of cells in Excel that are concantenated strings. This works great if the customer folder (s1) is not created. I would have thought that the way that I had the If/Then setup, that it would run smoothly, but if the customer folder is already created, the Debug highlights the very first MkDir s1
I have a worksheet (sheet1 in book1.xlsx) that references another worksheet (sheet2 in book2.xlsx) in a different file. The latter file, however, is stored in a directory that changes. Call it MYPATH for the time being. I'm trying to use a formula (not macros, which aren't allowed in this office) to reference the directory path using the dynamic name.
For example, in the first worksheet, cell A15 contains the word MYPATH. I'd like cell A1 to have a formula like this: ='C:&$A$15&subdir[book2.xlsx]sheet2'!B50
so that if I change the value of cell A15 in book.xlsx to ANEWPATH, the path reference will switch to the book2.xlsx in ANEWPATH, not MYPATH.
I've seen many posts advocating the use of BrowseFolder.zip located at
[url]
And some others saying to use the FileDialog object (if you use Excel 2002, or older(?))
I have to admit both are above my prior experience level, but I think I can do it if I understand what their function, requirements, and output are.
All I need is a dialog box that preferably lets me select the default directory, and then allows the user to select the target directory.
I've been trying to get the network username and found the solution on a previous thread. I have got to the point where I have copied the network username to my workbook. I now want to save this workbook into My Documents using that value for the username. So, so far i have:
'Get username from network
Dim User As String
CUser = Environ("username")
Cells(5000, 9) = Environ("username")
user = Application.ActiveCell
' Protect workbook and save in My Documents
ActiveSheet.Protect
ChDir "C:Documents and SettingsXXXXXXXMy Documents"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:Documents and SettingsXXXXXXMy DocumentsSalary Review Data 2007 - " & country & ".xls" _
, FileFormat:=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
The user who saves this workbook, will be doing so on their own PC's so i need the file to save to their 'My Documents' folder. So i need to replace the red X's with the user's network username (which I have extracted and dim'd as User. How do i write this into the path of the directory?
I have a file which is opened every so often. This file when opened it presents a userform in which you browse two files which then get loaded into the document and some charts/pivots are updated with the information from the loaded files.
When you click on the browse button it opens the browser dialog box in the libraries path. I am wondering if it's possible to have the dialog box open in the last directory path used.
For example:
A week ago I opened the file from the path C:UsersIntiDocumentsProjectsTea Project
What I would like to happen is that when I open the file today and I click the "Browse" button (which opens the dialog box to find files in your computer) for the dialog box to open automatically in the path C:UsersIntiDocumentsProjectsTea Project
Then if tomorrow the file is opened from the path C:UsersIntiPicturesProjectsTea2Project
Then a week from now when you browse for the file the dialog box opens automatically in the C:UsersIntiPicturesProjectsTea2Project path
This is what I have right now and it always opens the dialog box on C:UsersIntiDocuments

I need a macro to loop through a dir and the sub directories to find xlsm files, when it finds one open, go to the sheet named data, look at c1 and if the value is between 12.1 and 13.4 then i need it to write the file path, filename to a1 in my excell sheet and then write the value from c1 in the original file to A2 of line in my excel sheet.

I am trying to use the same VBA code for different applications using variables.
Basically I want to have a variables sheet that has the different directories based on the macro selection. My variable sourceloc would change based on the variable name on the sheet.
sometimes I would want it to equal what was in a1 and sometime I would want what was in a2
a1 cell contains "f:filezilla files
a2 cell contains "f:dmc files
This is the code I started and it gives compile error when ChDir = sourceloc is reached

What is the easiest way to display in a cell the opened file's directory path where the file is stored? I would like to use some sort of formula (instead of the VB route) but I don't know if such a thing exists.

I've been trying my best to create a directory structure using VBA and Excel, and have run out of patience on how best to do this. My goal is to create a directory tree containing 2 levels. The 1st level (Main Folders) will be named from data in Column A of an Excel Spreadsheet, the 2nd level (Subfolders) will be created from data in Columns B, C and D of the spreadsheet. I've been using the following code with success, but don't know how to create subdirectories:
Sub StartHere()
Dim rCell As Range, rRng As Range
Set rRng = Sheet1.Range("A1:A20")
For Each rCell In rRng.Cells
CreateFolders rCell.Value, "C: est"
Next rCell

Dim sTemp As String
'Make sure the base folder is ready to have a sub folder
'tacked on to the end
If Right(sBaseFolder, 1) <> "" Then
sBaseFolder = sBaseFolder & ""

what code can be used to be place in a Command Button on a worksheet that will use the value in a cell, change it to the directory where it have to be saved and save it to the value of another cell. Example:
On a worksheet called "Customer", at cel A1 will be the customer's name and at cell A2 will be the asset number. Now let's say a directory does not yet exist on the root for this customer, a new directory must be created in the root directory by using the name in A1, and the workbook must then be copied and saved under the value of A2.

I am using an XY scatter chart that displays the planned path and an actual path as I go. The planned path is set up in 100' increments and goes 12000' and actual path varies along the way.
My data that I use is the Northing (ft), Easting (ft) and Vertical Section (ft) for both the planned path and actual path.
I was wondering if there was an east way to get that information from the chart or if there is a formula that would allow me to calculate distance between the two points by using the data I use for my chart.

I got a directory with several xls-files.
I want in an new excel file to search automatically for all strings (11 till 48) in all files this particular directory.
All the strings (11-48) are being placed on this new file in worksheet 1.
The script collects all the files in directory and sub-directories and list them in ascending format, I want them to get in transpose format. like for example: Root folder has many sub directories and in them a sub directory XYZ has 5 excel files, it will get the sub directory name in Col A and transpose all .xls files.
Col A | Col B________|Col C_________ |Col D___________|Col E________|
XYZ__|C:/root/test.xls|C:/root/Sales.xls |C:/root/Report.xls |C:/root/sam.xls|

I have numerous sub directories, C:/Jobs/12500 – 12599, C:/Jobs/12600 – 12699 etc, within these directories exist spreadsheets with file names like 12675.xls (in this case it’s in the “12600 – 12699” directory). In my open spreadsheet, in cell A1, there is a job number, say 12675. I want to find and open the existing 12675.xls spreadsheet. If the spreadsheet does not exist, a template (Costing.xlt), in a fixed directory, is opened and then saved, in the correct sub directory i.e. C:/Jobs/12600 – 12699/12675.xls. I am now using the following code, but the directory is fixed. How can it be modified to work with variable directories?
