I have been trying to create a macro in excel to chart a selection of data and to output the chart on the active sheet where the data was taken (as opposed to a named sheet). So basically, I have about 300 worksheets with data, and I would like to have a button on each page that automatically charts that data when clicked, and outputs the chart to the page where the macro was clicked. However, I have not been able to figure out a relative reference that will allow me to make the LocationasObject reference simply the ActiveSheet as opposed to a specifically named sheet. See my code below, which references an output to a worksheet called "Charts". Right now, all of my charts are outputting to the sheet called "Charts", as opposed to the active sheet.
Sub ConsDiscChart()
ActiveCell.Offset(29, 11).Range("A1").Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlToLeft).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlUp).Select
Selection.End(xlDown).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1:B1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Range("A1:C24").Select
Charts.Add
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlLineMarkers
ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="Charts"
With ActiveChart
.HasTitle = False
.Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False
.Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False
End With

I am trying to generate excel report output from access by click of a button. Part of the code is as follows:
Dim lngColumn As Long
Dim xlx As Object, xlw As Object, xlc As Object
Dim DBS As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim blnEXCEL As Boolean, blnHeaderRow As Boolean
blnEXCEL = False
'If we do not want the first row we set Header to false
blnHeaderRow = False
'Establish an EXCEL application object
On Error Resume Next
Set xlx = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Set xlx = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
blnEXCEL = True
End If
Err.Clear
I worked on development on a server and worked fine. However when I have moved the code and database to the desktop of mine I am having
the following error in the line
Set xlx = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
Run-time error '429'
ActiveX component can't create object
Following bit of code runs fine if placed in Word VBA:
Code:
Public Sub TaskUsageInExcel()
Dim tsk As Task
For Each tsk In Tasks 'Gives RTE 429 when run through Excel
Debug.Print tsk.Name
Next tsk
End Sub
So I referenced 'Microsoft Word 12.0 Object Library' in Excel and ran the code and it gave me this error 429. Noticeable part was, no instance of word was running at that time.
So I modified the code as below:
Code:
Public Sub TaskUsageInExcel2()
Dim wdApp As Word.Application
Dim tsk As Task
[Code]....
VBScript code snippet below is being used in an ASP page but the call to GetObject never attaches to a running instance of Excel. Since visible property is set to True, I can see the instances accumulate in the TaskBar each time the ASP page is called, so there are obviously instances to attach to.
Dim excelApp
Set excelApp = Server.GetObject(,"Excel.Application")
If (err <> 0) Then
Set excelApp = Server.CreateObject("Excel.Application")
End If
excelApp.UserControl = True
excelApp.Visible = True
excelApp = Nothing
GetObject errors out with the following error: Error - Number:429 Source:Microsoft VBScript runtime error Description:ActiveX component can't create object
I have a very strange problem in DEBUG mode, because i get this error "Application-defined or object-defined error" when referring to a cell and assigning it a value so it goes to my error handler and i have a Resume Next there. It continues to go through the code whilst continuing to go to the error handler but when i step out of the function it restarts again from the beginning on the called function and then on the second run of my code it seems to WORK!?! So i'm thinking what the hell is going on, it falls over and fails the first time round and works the second time round?
In free-run mode from excel i just get a #VALUE!
I have some VBA code that in one portion of it an Outlook e-mail is created and the active workbook is attached and sent. This code used to work on Excel & Outlook 2003, but now in Excel & Outlook 2007 I'm getting the error:
Run-time error '429':
ActiveX component can't create object
and is stopping on the line
Set OutApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
FY If I comment out the Set OutApp... and If OutApp.... lines and uncomment the Set OutApp create object line, I still get the same error.
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim SigString As String
Dim Signature As String
'Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If OutApp Is Nothing Then Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
OutApp.Session.Logon
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
I have a basic data table with KPI labels down one side and dates across the top. Using this data table as the series source, I create a number of charts below it with serialised names eg Chart0, Chart1, Chart2, etc. I am attempting to enable the KPI labels so that when a user clicks it, the spreadsheet will navigate to the appropriate chart. I place the name value for the chart object in the cell immediataly to the left of each KPI label (and hide it). This way I know which chart object below is related to which KPI label above. That part works.
I have a Worksheet_SelectionChange() event procedure attached to the charting worksheet. When a user clicks into one of the KPI labels, the event procedure fires and the appropriate chart is activated. The code is:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B5:B19")) Is Nothing Then
On Error Resume Next
chtObjName = Range(Target.Address).Offset(0, -1).Range("A1").Value
If Left(chtObjName, 5) = "Chart" Then
ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(chtObjName).Select
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox "No such chart exists.", vbCritical, _
"Chart Not Found"
End If
End If
On Error Goto 0
End If
End Sub
whether I can handle errors in a way that tells me which object caused the error?
For example if a userform has two combobox's and one causes an error, can I return to a message box containing the name of the object (combobox1 or combobox2)?
I have tried returning err.source but I am either not using it correctly or it isn't intended to be used this way.
I am having difficulty getting a form to work the way that I would like it to work. I have a form that is used to display questions that my students will be answering. The form also is used to put the answers into a worksheet. I have 2 sheets. Sheet2 has the questions, student answers, and correct answers. Sheet1 is used to indicate correct answers and to keep track of percentage correct. I am fairly new to VB. I have 2 pieces of code that I am going to post. The first one works and the second one doesn't.
This is in the "This Workbook" section and it works.
Option Explicit

Public strNoQ As String
Public NumberofQuestions As Integer
Dim StudentName As String
Dim InputBoxAnswer As String

For intNoQ = 1 To NumberofQuestions
strNoQ = VBA.CStr(intNoQ)
If intNoQ = 1 Then
Questions.Controls("QuestionNumberBox").Value = "Question#" & strNoQ
Questions.Controls("QuestionBox").Value = Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("B1").Value
End If
Questions.Controls("CorrectBox" & strNoQ).Visible = True
Questions.Controls("CorrectLabel" & strNoQ).Visible = True

use code tags around code. Posting code without them makes your code hard to read and difficult to be copied for testing. Highlight your code and click the # at the top of your post window.
I have a simple function below to put in different forumlas in different cells to get stock quotes. When I run this I get runtime error 1004 application-defined or object-defined error. The first formula goes through but vba chokes on the next formula: ActiveCell.Offset(I - 1, 4).Formula = username

View 4 Replies View RelatedFor some reason my form won't open when the workbook is opened. I get an error message "run time error '424' object required" (which happens when I have Form1.show in the BOTH workbook_open event and the userform_initialize event (oops)). When I removed form1.show from the userform_initialize I don't get an error but I also get no form. I recall having this issue before but I can't recall how to fix it.
Can I call the userform_initialize event from the workbook open event to get around this successfully and properly?
I keep getting a Run Time Error 1004 (Application Defined or Object Defined Error) when my sub reaches this line:
ActiveCell.Formula = "=SUM(D222,D224,D226,D227,D229,...)"
In the actual line of code the "..." above is another 20-30 or so cells in column "D". Probably no more than 150-170 characters in the line.
If I remove half of the cell range names it works, but I need all of the cell ranges for the equation.

I think I'm totally missing something. The above works, except for the loop. None of the names show up in my immediate window, and none of the worksheets are activated. xlWB evaluates to nothing, which is where the problem has to be...but why would my first .Activate and Debug.Print lines work? Also, If I declare xlWb as Workbook then absolutely nothing works after the file is opened.
Basically what I want to do is open the file, do a bunch of a stuff with it, then save and close it. I have this all working without creating another object, but the opening of the file is still visible to the user. Seems like turning off ScreenUpdating doesn't truly work.
