Custom Add In: Add The File Name Extension And Relevant VBA Code
Has anyone got the add in code? I have my own custom menu bar on my excel. But every time i want to add a new link i must go into the code and manually add the file name extension and relevant VBA code. Is there a method of just entering the file extension in a cell range and excel will automatically update or pick up or link from this location?

Add A File Extension In A Cell
I have a sheet I am working on that was given to me by a supplier and for example the cell in A1 is '2008_world_soccer'. How do I add '.jar' to the end of the filename bearing in mind the filenames are not the same length in each cell. So it would then read '2008_world_soccer.jar' or ''2008_world_soccer_GB_test.jar' etc. Any ideas that would saving me having to edit and type .jar at the end everytime for over a thousand records?

Add Custom Sort List To VBA Code
I have a Macro that I have recorded that autosorts several columns for me. This works fine as I have 5 columns that need to be sorted in a particular way. The problem is that I have a custom list which I stored using the: Tools>Options>Custom List tab. Now this works fine on my pc as I have the custom list stored on my PC.however the problem is when someone else uses it on their PC it may no longer work as they won't have my custom list stored on their PCs. Is there a way to store the custom list in a Macro and then use that list to sort to the criteria needed. For example "One, Two, Three, Four" will not store in alphabetically, so hope would I be able to sort so that they would appear in a chronological manner? Below is the code for the Macro I recorded. As you can see one of the lines says "OrderCustom:=6"; this I am assuming is reading from the list I created.

VBA To Create Word File And Add A Custom Property To It
I have an Excel sheet with a long list of data. A short example is shown below: Section | Title | Item 1 | INTRODUCTION | a 1.1 | title2 | b 1.2 | title3 | c 1.2.1 | title4 | d 1.2.2 | title5 | e I made a VBA macro in Excel that runs through this list and creates a new Word file for each item. The filename of the document is based on the data in the Excel file (section and title). Now I would like to add a custom property to each of the newly created Word files, i.e. the value in the 'item' column. Does anyone of you know how I should do this? Or should it be better if I write a macro in Word that runs through the Excel data to create the word files? Here is the code I use to generate the word files:

Sample Code To Add/delete Custom Menu Items

I have created several spreadsheet with customized menus. In step 5 when I type a period the options for selecting Caption does not appear. In step 6 the 'Control' word didn't appear in list. Sometimes the options in step 6 do appear BUT not the option for Controls. I have created spreadsheets with menus that work but the only way I could do it was to cut and paste from the website and then modify it.

Custom Context Menus For Any WB (using Add-in?)
Ok, so I have this neat little macro that on right-click brings up a custom context menu that displays a few different options - for example one such function is simply copying the selected cell content to a (specific) different sheet. It is a very useful feature in the context I am normally using it to merge information from different locations in a new structure (well, I think this is irrelevant, but just letting you know basically what I am doing). Anyhow, to implement the custom context menu, I am using events in the ThisWorkbook object, namely Activate to add context menu entries and DeActivate to remove them if switching workbook. Now, if I receive any workbook from someone else, I'd like to add this feature to get the custom context menu easily without having to copy the received workbook into a new workbook (it's a bit of a hassle, and ideally, if the received workbook has any other macros, this function could just be merged). I was thinking using an add-in to achieve this, but using the ThisWorkbook events in the add-in doesn't trigger the events (I guess because the hidden workbook in the add-in is never "Activated" or "DeActivated").

Create Custom Menu Items For Add-in
I have created an Addin from one I found on this site which creates a menu on the CommandBar. On this menu I can add my Macros. The Menu is initially supposed to perform a delete function then an add, just in case the menu already exists on the CommandBar. It is also supposed to Uninstall the menu when you de-select the Addin. At the moment it doesn't seem to be doing either, as I have now got 5 CommandBar menu's all the same and I can't delete them? This also creates a problem of when I add another macro, the menu on the CommandBar doesn't update with the addition? I have attached the .xla file for you to look at and see where I'm going wrong.

Custom Function Preceded With Add-in Path
I have created an addin (myAddin.xla) with custom functions in it. In a given cell, my funtion would look something like "=myCustomFunction(A1, B5)". Periodically, while I'm working with the spreadsheet, I'll do something to a cell and the formulas in all the cells which used a custom function immediately get reset to something along the lines of "=C:...Application DataMicrosoftAddInsmyAddin.xla'!myCustomFunction(A1, B5)". The reset function also causes the function not to work properly and I get a "#NAME?" error in the cell. I haven't yet figured out what sequence of actions causes the reset (it happens infrequently, but often enough to be a major problem) but it happens while I'm working with the document (i.e., it doesn't seem to be linked to saving/closing/reopening/etc). After I notice the reset, if I go to each cell that uses a custom function and delete everything from "C:... to myAddin.xla!" in the formula bar and hit enter, the function works normally as before. (Technically, my Windows XP Pro system uses synchronization with a server at work, so the file path is not "C:...Application DataMicrosoftAddInsmyAddin.xla'!" but rather "\myServerNamemyDirectoryDocuments and SettingsmyUserNameApplicationDataMicrosoftAddInsmyAddin.xla'!". I'm not sure if this reset error has anything to do with being connected to the server or not, but figured I'd mention it anyway.)

Add Custom Menus To Single Workbook Only
Using example code from Adding Custom Menus, I now have functional menu items that call my macros appropriately. The example also contains code to add or remove a menu conditional on its window being active. What I need is a slight variant on this but not quite obvious to my novice brain. The add and remove menu code is now stored in my personal.xls file. However, I need that the condition check that a key string be present in the name of the active window, not the file where the macro is stored. Thus, if the front window is of the file named MyData, then the special menus get added (the conditional string is "MyData"). If the window is named YourData, the special menus get removed. Note, neither of these two files contain any macros.

Using .xla File As An Add-In
I have created an .xla file with all sorts of functions that I want to use from an .xls file. The .xla file is added as an Add-In in Excel. In the .xls file I have a number of command buttons that are supposed to run the functions in the .xla file. In the "assign macro" dialog of the comman buttons I have just specified the function name of the function contained in the .xla file. This seems to be working fine but problems arise when I move the .xls file to another directory. For some strange reason the new path is added to the macro path in the command buttons when I do this even though the .xla file is an Add-In and already loaded. That is... First the macro is specified as "openMenu". When the .xls file is moved to another directory this is updated to: c:myNewDirectorymyXLAFile.xla!openMenu. This causes Excel to complain about that there is already one myXLAFile.xla open so it can not open another one eventhough myXLAFile.xla is not located under c:myNewDirectory.

Error Opening File......different Format Than What Specified By Extension
Apparently my program quits after i try to open an excel file. If you open the file manually you get an error upon opening the file...something like this: "File you are tyring to open is in a different format than specified by the file extension". The problem is i am using an excel macro using VBA and once the file is opened the VBA execution quits. The excel file turns out to be an xml file which excel can open the file and have the VBA continue running if i RENAME the file with an "xlsx" extension. The problem is that i cant ask the user to rename the file.........how do i get VBA to open the file without an issue?

Determine File Extension With FileSearch Method
I am attempting to write a macro that will open every file in a given folder, then save the files with a new file names while keeping the original file extension. The files I'm opening with excel have file extensions of ".VA", ".TOU", and ".KVA". The new file names I want to save the files with are contained in cell A1. An example would be: The excel macro opens file "R003890.TOU" The macro assigns a the value in cell "A1" (B1040) to a variable The macro assigns the file extension (.TOU) to a variable The macro saves the file as file name variable and file extension variable (B1040.TOU)

Code To Update Add-in
I need to write code to automatically update a user's add-in if a newer version is available. Here are the specifics. The add-in is installed on multiple users c:drives. In the add-in code, there is a constant, Version_Nbr. On the network drive, I have a text file containing the most up-to- date version number. When the user opens the add-in file, the code compares the Version_Nbr to the text file on the network drive. If the version on the network is higher, I prompt the user with "A new version is available. Would you like to download it now?" I have a seperate download program which will automatically download the new add-in to the user's local drive. Here's where I run into problems. I cannot replace the add-in file with a newer version when the add-in is open. The add-in is always open because it's the add-in that determines if a newer version is available. So how do I do this? It seems to me I need to launch the download program from the add-in and then have the add-in close itself before the download program executes.

Case "New_Name" outsh = "New_Name" A link or pointer in the right direction'd be tops. btw the code is married to a Command Button which has more code involved.

Log In Problem To XLA Add-in File
Our organisation is currently upgrading the network OS from Windows 2000 to Vista. One of the users has a .xla file that they access in Excel, using a username and password. Now before you think it's something to do with breaking the password, it isn't. The problem is that since changing over to Vista, the username and password (that we know) is being rejected with a bad password error. The file can only be opened when you are logged in as the the user on the old Windows 2000 PC. I've tried logging in as myself to that PC, and cannot access the file using the username and password. This makes the problem seem like it is profile specific. My question then really is, how is this possible? Can you tie the specific user to the file as well as password protecting it? Is there a specific registry key that needs to be copied to the new profile on the new Vista PC, or any other specific files from the users profile? I can see the code in the XLA,

When I browse the file it says it already exists and still doesn't show up. The strange thing is that the "function" does work, but the sub (which is a sub worksheet_change) doesn't run. I also tried doing the steps as they are laid out in http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/excel-add-in-create.htm and ended up with the same problem. The function works when I open up a brand new Excel application and use Book1, so I know the function isn't embedded in the sheet.
