When I run a webquery to download information from online I have found the common 1004 error to occur very often however I have found that if I delete my temporary internet files prior to running the webquery, this problem does not occur. I therefore require an automated function to delete the temporary internet files however the simple 'Kill' statement does not seem to work.

I need to be able to clean out my directory :
"C:Documents and Settings" & Environ("UserName") & "Local SettingsTemporary Internet Files"
But nothing I've tried seems to work.
The kill command doesn't appear to work with wildcards... is there a way I can loop through the directory and delete the files one by one?
I have a VBA application that uses the IE Application object many many times through a loop, and then repeats. So basically it is running continuously, and opening invisible IE window every few seconds.
I have code in there that 'kills' all IE instances between each iteration so that the number of windows doesn't pile up, but after awhile the temporary internet files, cookies, and history build up too.
Is there any VBA code that will clear those three things out?
In Excel 2007, Hyperlinks in cells pointing to jpg files in a subfolder display with internet explorer. On my WinXP/Intnernet Explorer 8/Office 2007 system these links work fine.
When sending the excel and jpg files to another person with Win7/Office 10, jpg hyperlinks work and launch Internet Explorer but come up blank. (Hyperlinks to PDF files work fine and show up in Acrobat, just the jpg's come up blank in Explorer.)
Questions:
What is causing this, a setting in Explorer/Win7 or Excel?
Can I change Excel hyperlink default software to use something other than Explorer to display the jpg files?
I'm trying to create a new worksheet just in memory.
Private Sub test()
Dim wsheet As New Worksheet
Dim a As Variant
a = ActiveSheet. Range("A1").Value
wsheet.Range("A1").Value = a
End Sub
When I run this, the like "wsheet.Range("A1").Value = a" gives the error <Class does not support automation or does not support extended interfaces. I could use that vitual worksheet (I call) to do functions like sorting filtering and other things without affecting the actual data, and get only the results. Is there a way to create such virtual worksheets.
When looking at a spreadsheet with many columns, it would be nice of the row of the cell I have selected would remain highlighted in yellow, so that as I scroll across rows it's easy to view the data associated with the selected cell. Of course, if I select another cell, I would want the highlighting to change to THAT row. I'm guessing this would have to be in a this.workbook change event.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook change event that when fired checks criteria to see that the sheet is complete. If not complete, the user must complete information on the sheet before continuing. The problem is that some of the "stuff" the user must do requires macros that fire and gain access to other sheets. Thus the "trap" I have set to restrict the user to just the one sheet has backfired on me restricting the user to just the one sheet. Is there a way that the workbook change event (or any other workbook event) be temporarily disabled until activated again?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a code that will search a pre-determined folder for all .xls files containing the word "Temp", and deleting those files?
Example:
In the root of drive M, I have several Excel files. Anytime one of the original tracking logs is opened, a temp file of that log is automatically created. I would like to automatically search the drive and delete all files containin the word "Temp".
I've attached a picture of the directory tree, in case that will help. The file will always be named "PO Response Tracking - Temp#######.xls", with ###### representing a series of either 5 or 6 numbers.
Below is the code I currently use to do the following which creates service reports.
When you click on the command button you can choose any XML file you want to import. This file is copied to a temporary worksheet where i selectively choose cells to populate textbox's which later populate my reports. What I want to do is the same exact thing but with a text file. Not all text files are the same length so it needs to be able to have a range. Here's my working code.
For Each SheetName In Array("Maintenance Data Sheet")
With Sheets(SheetName)
.Range("B127") = ""
.Range("U127") = ""
.Range("AJ127") = ""
.Range("AV127") = ""
.Range("AY124") = ""
[Code]...
Cancel:
MsgBox "No XML Selected"
End Sub
I have a spreadsheet representing a month where I am trying to figure out different scenarios for employees. One scenario is that an employee could have to move to a temporary position. In that case, I need to calculate the salary payments to temporary employees in a particular work unit. I've tried several different approaches to this problem, but am still getting the error.
One method has been using this sumproduct formula:
I want to search a particular folder & delete certain files. I'm using the code below.
Sub test()
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
'The folder where my files are located
.LookIn = "C:Documents and SettingscDesktop"
.SearchSubFolders = False
'Search text in any type of files
.Filename = "*.htm"
I need a macro to delete all files with defined extension in defined folder.
For ex. I have a folder named "pictures" filled with pictures in jpg bmp gif etc. formats. But i need only bmp files to be deleted
I use some VBA that does many things and in the end it exports the files to a network drive and as a last step, it creates a Log, the log is basically one row for each file exported which includes the path and file, something like this:
Row 1: Headers...
Row 2: \networkpath odrivefolderDocument_file_name.xls
Row 3: \networkpath odrivefolderDocument_file_name2.xls
Row 4: \networkpath odrivefolderDocument_file_name3.xls
So, basically looking for a way to start at row 2 to end, and delete the files. Looking for a way to also maybe save/and archive them on my local Desktop on XP ?
I m trying to delete all files in a specific folder?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've struggled to find the code to unzip files using VBA but I finally found it and it works (using Shell).
The problem is that I want to unzip all zip files in a folder but my zip files contain 3 files:
1 csv file that I want to keep and 1 xml and 1 txt file that I want to delete.
I can't just unzip everything and deal with the txt and xml later because the xml and txt files all have the same name. So if I don't do anything, I have a series of overwriting messages prompting me to click yes or no. So what I want is either to delete xml and txt one by one after they are created or get rid of the overwriting prompt. I've tried to put a kill or delete file just after the unzip command but it doesn't work - it's telling me that the txt file doesn't exist (should I add some sort of refreshing command ?) and I couldn't find anything on google about overwriting text or xml files.
I have this piece of code which copies module1 from file1 to all other open files which I list below open.
I want to modify it so that it will delete module11 as it goes.

FName = .Path & "code.txt"
.VBProject.VBComponents("Module1").Export FName

'copies into these workbooks

I have several organized folders which contain contain, in total, hundreads of files all created from the same master file. The Master file contains several macros used to sort and organize data copied from our engineering database (web-based).
After a file is created the macro is no longer needed. I am looking for some direction on how to go about opening and saving the files which are located on a network drive.
I have found some good starting point here for the actual removal, and I am working on a new master file which doesn't keep the macro when saved (save as...).

In VBA, how can I loop through the list and delete files from a certain folder. The list will vary in length from time to time.
Right now the security settings on my server are set so that new files can be added by anyone but only a few people can delete them. Everytime Excel opens a file on the server it creates a temp file that it cannot delete due to the security settings. This means that I have to go in to each subdirectory and manually select then delete each of these temp files.
way to identify an excel tempfile, or a method for deleting these files with VBA?
