This code works fine, as long as Excel isn't pointed to the default directory. But, when it is in the default directory ("My Documents" for me), then it will only save to the default directory. I need to save to a network drive. Is there a way to do this without me going to the "open" a new file button to switch out of the default directory?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to have the user hit a button and save the workbook in a newly created directory. Currently it creates the new workbook and the new directory with the correct names, however the workbook is not in the newly created directory.

To be more specific:
1. Import data from SQL: Refresh on opening, save password
2. Formatting of number to have two digits and a comma separator
3. Pivot table: when adding to values sum instead of count, refresh when opening the file
I need to restrict printing & saving functionality on a excel spreadsheet that is shared with a large group of people.
I was also hoping for the restricting save part, to do an AD lookup to see if they are a member of group "X", if they are then allow the save, if they are not then deny the save.
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 would like to know if there is a way to print several different workbooks at once but keeping my printing format which I would like to be Landscape and Fit to one page. Reason is simple as I work in a office where staff is handed in several jobs to do everyday. They finish the jobs and log all the info on the database. I log on to database and put all their daily diaries and because it is all over the place I have to go in each file and set printing preferences which takes an hour in the morning and hour in the evening. I could do with some sort of automation where all diaries are automatically printed in Landscape and Fit on one page.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have created a form in a worksheet which I have added questions too and then locked all cells except the ones where I want the answers in.
I have then added a button to the bottom of the sheet called "Print and Save". This work sheet is called "form"
On a second sheet called "database", I have all the titles of the questions running from a -> k and nother else.
What I want to happen is the user input the information on "form" into the boxes available. Once they have completed the questions, I want them to be able to click on "Print and Save" so that firstly the page "form" prints, and then for all of the answers to be saved in "database" below the titles for each question.
I have had a play, but just don't know where to start. Also, once there is a row of questions below the titles, I don't want it to overwrite information already there, it needs to go onto the next empty row available.
Attached is my excel file.
You will see in the code that I have the code for printing.. I just found this on the net and it seems to work fine for me.

For a macro i'm writing I need to search for a directory.
Users enter a projectnumber, this is being used for a search string.
But how can I search for folders/directories in Windows?
I've got the startfolder: 'C:Projects'
Then the project which the user is searching for can be in several subdirectories.
1. Is it possible to save additional worksheets (right now it is only copying one worksheet)?
2. How can I hard-code the directory path so the file goes to that one locatin (i.e. the "master directory")?
Also, is it possible to save userforms out of this workbook (i.e. some of the userforms contain information that is useful...it would be great to have them in the "output" file that gets saved to the "master directory"). Thanks!

I've been looking for code to print Excel files from a directory with multiple worksheets. I found something close on this forum, but it prints 2 copies which is fine for pdf, but not for hard copy. I would like just 1 copy.

Dim FileName As String
Dim Wkb As Workbook
Dim WS As Worksheet

Set Wkb = Workbooks.Open(FileName:=PATH & "" & FileName)
Application.ActivePrinter = "Adobe PDF on Ne00:"

FileName = Dir()

Imagine this:
* Main Category #1
Sub Title #1: "Value"
Sub Title #2: "Value"
Sub Title #3: "Value"
Sub Title #4: "Value"
* Main Category #2
Sub Title #1: "Value"
Sub Title #2: "Value"
Sub Title #3: "Value"
Sub Title #4: "Value"
Sub Title #5: "Value"
Sub Title #6: "Value"
Sub Title #7: "Value"
Sub Title #8: "Value"
Sub Title #9: "Value".................
Main categories and subtitles are in the same column. "Value"s are in the column to the right.
I want to make a list in the columns to the right. This list will only show something if the "value" is not zero. It will show in the first column right from the original list, the main category to which the subtitle belongs to and the subtitle. Something like this (imagine subtitle #2 from cat #1 and #2 and #3 from cat #2 are not zero):
I want to have a excel file with VBA code and it should operate like the following:
It should check the subdirectory's in a certain directory and put this on a excel sheet.
Every time when you start the sheet it should compare the sheet with the sub directory's and make al the changes in the list.
In the end the excel sheet should be a representation of the directory.
I can't get it to work when something is changed or a directory is added or deleted.

An already existing file will be changed by my macro and at the end I want the user to save the file with a different name in a different directory with the option to change the filename or directory. Therefore I use the excel-standard-dialog "save as". But I want the dialog to start in another path as the path the original-file is stored in. But also I use the ChDrive and ChDir Parameters the dialog even starts in the original-file-path. I think this is standard for the dialog and I should maybe use a parameter in the show-arguement? The code is below.
Option Explicit
Sub SaveMyFile()
Dim xFileName, xAnswer
ChDrive "J"
ChDir "J:myfolder"
xFileName = "testme.xls"
xAnswer = Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show(xFileName)
End Sub
I had posted earlier and felt I had solved my problem, but I have not. What I am trying to do is use code to change directory when the save menu is activated.
I want to be able to open from one location and then it defaults to another. I have tried "chdir" , but I can't seem to get it to work. Even when I change the DefaultFilePath, the "save as" location defaults to the location where the file was opened from. I want to default all "saves" in a specific location without using the menu to select.
Is there a dialog box like the one used in GetOpenFilename that can be used to select a directory?
I'm trying to select a directory/folder which will change each month but the macro selects the files from inside the folder once it's specified. I don't need the name of the current path; the path name needs to be able to be selected.
By Code I am trying to SaveAs the present Workbook : Only in the same directory as the present Workbook- but with a different file name. The new file name would be :"the Filename of the Active Workbook" + " ("D9") of the Sheet("ADMIN")". This macro will only be run from the Sheet("Admin").

The red is the part that I tried to manipulate to add the new directory, the problem I can see is that the new directory contains folders with the following name "WO#____" as i can see the # sign is probably throwing the program off because it can't open up the link to that folder in order to look for files. The program as it stands still works fine with looking up the first directory. I also know we had created a function to solve the sign problem for directory 1 file names. How can i use that function to directory 2.
I am trying to automate some of the work I used to do as I have moved to another position, specifically trying to automate file management. I am using this code to create new files for each client
Code:
Public Sub CheckDir(fold1 As String)
If Dir(fold1, vbDirectory) = "" Then
MkDir fold1
Else
End If
End Sub
which works great, but you still have to do one client at a time. Basically I'm using this code to create new client files, but each year we will need to add a directory and sub directories for every client in a certain directory. What I would like to do is code a macro that would add say a "2013" folder with all appropriate sub directories to every client folder within the folder that contains all of the client folders The folder hierarchy should look like this
Code:
'F:Clients
'F:ClientsClientName
'F:ClientsClientName2013
'F:ClientsClientName2013RandomOtherFolders
I assume it would use a For/Each, but I'm not sure how to go about it.
How can i loop through each excel file in a directory.
