Error Trap: Macro Opening Non Existing File
Oct 26, 2006
I have a user form with a TextBox (TextBox1), the user enters a filename and presses CommandButton1, this then opens the file. I have set an error trap so that if the file does not exist a MsgBox prompts the user to re-enter. So far so good, however if the error trap operates any further files entered are declared as non-existent even if I know they exist. I thought this would be quite easy but once again VBA bites me back!!
here is my code
Sub CommandButton1_Click()
stPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
stFilename = "Retention" & "" & TextBox1 & ".xls"
stFullname = stPath & "" & stFilename 'completes full path of for TextBox1
On Error Goto Errorhandler: 'go to this if file does not exist
Workbooks.Open stFullname
ActiveWorkbook.RunAutoMacros xlAutoOpen

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?

The error trap does work when there is an error, but it also runs at the end of the code when there isn't an error... I'm not sure what I've done wrong. When I test with data that is correct, it still runs through the code when it gets to the bottom. Have I put the error trap in the wrong place?
I have put in bold the section of the code with the error trap.
Option Explicit
Const TargetDB = "Group Life Pricing Tables v0.1.accdb"
Sub HMUK_Val()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'define variables to be used in the process
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim fld As ADODB.Field
Dim sSQL As String
Dim SchemeInfo As Integer
Dim CurrentAge As Integer
Dim CurrentRow As Integer
Dim CurrentSex As String
Dim Message
'check that Scheme data has already been entered
For SchemeInfo = 1 To 13
If Sheets("Working Info").Cells(SchemeInfo, 2).Value = "" Then
Message = MsgBox("Please ensure all Scheme information has been entered before processing member info", vbOKOnly, "Warning")
Exit Sub
End If
Next SchemeInfo

I was trying to add a popup box so that if no match was found, it would report a popup box stating so.
Well, It runs successfully, however it executes every, single time! LOL
Sub Find_and_Update()
On Error Goto A
Dim Search_Range As Range, Found_Range As Range
Dim SearchFor As Variant, cell As Range
SearchFor = Range("J3").Value
Set Search_Range = Range("A:A")
Set Found_Range = Find_Range(SearchFor, Search_Range, xlValues, xlPart, False)
For Each cell In Intersect(Found_Range.EntireRow, Columns("G"))
cell.Value = cell.Value + 1
Next cell
A:
MsgBox "Not Found"
Range("J3").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Exit Sub
Range("J3").Select
Selection.ClearContents
End Sub

I am using the calendar control on a form of mine, which i believe requires ms access to be installed to use(from what ive read). This is fine as most of the PC's it will be run on have this installed. However if it is run on a PC that doesnt have ms access it gives me the "Could not load an object because it is not avaliable on this machine" and then "cant find project or library error". How can I trap this error ? Ive tries whe the workbook opens, and when the form initializes but it just brings up that error

Is it possible to overwrite an existing .csv file with
The command :
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=fName, FileFormat:=xlCSV
Or does it need to be Killed first ?
Plus do I need any of the options such as Create Backup, AccessMode As etc.

Workbook A has VBA code. The VBA code opens a collection of 2000 workbooks. The workbooks are processed one at a time, with Workbook A opening Workbook B, do something, close Workbook B, get next workbook. Sometimes Workbook B has some kind of access issue that results in:
"[File Name] cannot be accessed. The file may
be read-only, or you may be trying to
access a read-only location. Or, the
server the document is stored on may
not be responding.
RETRY ... CANCEL"
If RETRY is clicked, the process returns the same message. If CANCEL is clicked, the process is crashed, Excel is closed, and all data processed is lost. What is the VBA syntax to programmatically trap this condition so it can be processed in an orderly manner?

I am basically using a combobox in word that opens an excel spreadsheet and pulls information about the people entered in the combobox. The information pulled from excel is then pasted into the original word document.
The problem that I am having is that the macro may be needed to run twice (ex. suppose the user forgot to include an individual in the first run) and on the second run the excel document cannot be opened and it gets stuck on the loop. The macro will only work again if the word document is closed and reopend. I suspect that the excel document is not completly closing on the first runthrough.
I've included my code below. The initialize combobox code is on the bottom. I
PHP Code:
Dim WordApp As Word.ApplicationDim xlApp As Excel.Application
'Dim xlWB As Excel.WorkbookPrivate Sub CommandButton1_Click()Bios
= ActiveWorkbook.NameNewWBookName
= ActiveWindow.CaptionSet WrdDoc
= ActiveDocumentlastrow = Range("A1").End(xlDown).RowS

I'm using a macro to open an other excel file to get data from it. this goes by Workbooks.Open Filename:=totalopen (totalopen =Filepath & filename earlier defined) Because the opening file can have the same filename, my question; is it possible to open the latest/newest saved file? So also look at the saving date/time of opening excel file.

I was wondering if there is a way to open up a given program (notepad in my example) ..paste data from cells copied in excel and save the notepad file to a specific location and close it out??
The file path will be given from a data cell in excel as well as the file name.
From searching the forums i've come up with the way to open notepad
using the lines
Dim RetVal As Variant
RetVal = Shell("C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32
otepad.exe")

The macro (used to) go down the list of spreadsheets and copy certain data from them into this master workbook. Now I'm getting a "'C:Users310108841DesktopTestFolder' could not be found" error and don't know why.

The error appears to happen here:

What's more infuriating is that this appears to happen at random. I have been trying all afternoon to get it to work, and had no luck. I have literally just run it now, and it works fine. I can't believe it just works at random.

I cannot figure out how to get my error handler to work, or actually, not work. It seems to work fine when there is an error, but the code still gets read even when there was not an error. Basically, I am trying to open a file, which may or may not be there. When it is not there I want a message to pop up informing the user. However, when the file is there and it opens, the error handler still gives the message box. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Private Sub btnOK_Click()
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Dim LCSfile As String
LCSfile = frmSelectFile.Listbox1.Value
On Error Goto ErrHandler
Workbooks.Open Filename:=sPath & sDate & "" & LCSfile & "QUANT.CSV"
ErrHandler:
MsgBox ("File is not quantitated. Please select another file.")
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Code to save a file C:DesktopFile.xls to a different path say F:New.xls as a backup.
I want this to happen every 1 hour so that if in case my original sheet File.xls is corrupted or deleted, I have a backup data (New.xls) which was last saved.
And also File.xls need not be necessarily open.

I'd like my macro (in an Excel 2010 workbook) to copy values from three worksheet cells and append them to an existing Access or SQL database file -- without having to leave my Excel spreadsheet or open any other programs. The database file simply needs to be appended. Keeping a running list. That file isn't being used for anything else, we can set it up however is necessary to do this.
For example, Excel cells A1, A2, and A3. Representing Job Name, Job Number and Job Total.
how make VBA do this(in SIMPLE terms)? Or give me a link of where to look or what to search for? I understand VBA but not Access or SQL.

Am using a email notification macro but want to error trap that "a program is trying to send an email on your behalf" thing. What i would like to do is if the user says "no" then a Retry/Cancel msgbox comes up with the prompt "Please select yes to enable a submission notification to be sent on your behalf" then if they select retry, the macro is re-run, if they select cancel, then only the latter portion of the macro is run.

When it opens the desired file, it increments the file name by 1 each time it is opened (via the macro).
Example;
The first time it is opened you see the file name in the header read "P'Binder L&T Pages" for a moment, then it changes to "P'Binder L&T Pages1"...
I close the file and open it again (via the macro), and see the file name in the header read "P'Binder L&T Pages" for a moment, then it changes to "P'Binder L&T Pages2"...
The file name continues to increment on every opening until the PC is rebooted, then it starts at 1 again.
Sub OpnLTpages()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim AlreadyOpen As Boolean
AlreadyOpen = False
For Each wb In Workbooks 'Scan open workbooks
If wb.Name = "P'Binder L&T Pages.xls" Then ........................

I have a need to open a file from my companies intranet. My current method was to open said file via the method that the recorder gave me. However, I would like ot be able to open a said file without having to start open another workbook.
This is the path:
[url]
So the command is this:
Workbooks.Open [url]
Links are not actual links
So what I need to know. Is how can I open this file without opening a workbook. I haven't been able to use the VB "Open Statement" to open a file and I don't believe that I've been successfull using the Filesystem object either.

When I open my excel file and go to the VBA editor there is a pop up telling me that there is a dll error. So, I can't access none of my code or run any of them.
In the tools menu and references it says : "MISSING : Microsoft PowerPoint 14.0 Object Library". When I unchech this box and close the menu, it checks itself back.
Edit : I have Microsoft PowerPoint 12.0 Object Library also in my references list.
