Excel Crashes Erratically After Running A Macro?
Mar 20, 2014
I have developed a model for a client which keeps crashing after being used a few times. The crash is major! Excel shuts down and asks to send an error report.
This can happen after being run anywhere from 3 to 20 times. (Clicking a POST button which transfers items to a "database" type sheet).
I developed the model on a PC using Excel 2010. When this was loaded on a Mac, the user tells me that it happened periodically, and I have seen is occasionally on my PC as well.
However, the workbook has now been loaded on a server, with users across the state of Victoria accessing via Sharepoint - most using Excel 2007. Now it is happening very frequently.
I don't think the macro is at fault, it doesn't go into debug. Excel just seems to GIVE UP.
Have you seen this kind of thing before? Is there a way of "flushing buffers" or something so that Excel can keep working?
I am reluctant to post the model because it is full of personnel details, and is 2.5mb.

The macro does numerous things, including deleting the sheet that was active when it is called. If the sheet is not deleted, there is no crash. Otherwise, Excel crashes as soon as the VBA interpreter hits "Exit Sub". The Excel message is simply "Excel Stopped Working". The macro also saves the workbook before finishing, and the saved workbook opens just fine, but it's unacceptable to have to kill Excel and restart it every time (I am not the main user for this spreadsheet). I'm using Excel 2010 on Windows 7.

I have a VBA macro for Excel 2007 below that loops through a workbook and deletes a picture (shape) in a range at the top of each worksheet.
The macro works fine until a cell which contains a seemingly unrelated data validation list on Sheets(1) is changed. The macro then repeatedly trips up with a 'Run-time error 1004 - Application defined or object defined error'.
The cell with the data validation is outside of the range in which the shapes are deleted and does not set any of the variables in the macro.
Sub DeleteLogos()
Dim Count As Integer
Dim NumberOfWorksheets As Integer
Dim Logo As Shape
Dim LogoZone As Range
NumberOfWorksheets = Worksheets.Count
For Count = 1 To NumberOfWorksheets
With Sheets(Count)
[code].....

I am attempting to run a MS Ecel macro that is stored on a MS Excel shared file in a MS Ecel target file (locally stored on my C drive) from a VBA module in Ms Access. That is, from a code i want to open the .xls file that houses the macro, and then open the .xls file that i want to run the file in, and then run the macro.
Here is my situation: the file that houses the macro has the workbook hidden and causes in error.
if i unhide the workbook i get a Run-Time Error 91...object variable or With block variable not set.
if i hide the workbook the vba coding can't find the macro...run time error 1004

does anyone know how this can be accomplished?
here is the ....

I have several similar documents open. They each have a macro with the shortcut CTRL + SHFT + T. The problem is each macro is different for each book. When I am working on book X, I don't want macro from book Z to run, but it does.
I need all of them to be open.

A coworker just ran something by me that i'm quite frankly baffled by. After running a macro, the undo function becomes disabled up to the point of when the macro was ran. I've done a quick search through the forums and can't seem to find this question so i thought i'd ask.
Is there an option to toggle somewhere or 3rd party addon that keeps Undo enabled after running a macro? On a similar topic for my own curiosity, what's the reason that it disables?

I have a macro with "ActiveWorkbook.Protect Password:="password"" . It was working fine in excel 2003. In excel 2007, because of this I am not able to run any macro's in the workbook. I am getting a message "The macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled. I can see a security warning in message bar saying macros have been disabled, but I dont have have a option to enable the macros.

Running Windows 7, Office/Excel 2007
I have a macro which performs some conditional formatting on a worksheet. Based on the value in cells in one column, if the value meets the criteria some simple formatting is performed (row is colored, font changes for that row etc).
The macro then calls a second macro which performs the same evaluation on the same cells from the same column. If the value meets the criteria (same as previously) it is supposed to change the value of the cell by 1/2.
Both macros work, however the 2nd macro also seems to remove all of the formatting, font changes, coloring etc that occurred from the first macro. I have had the first macro save the active workbook and close and have the 2nd macro re-open the file but it sill overwrites the formatting. If I do not have the 2nd macro run the format changes are saved. I have tried saving the file after the first macro runs with .xls and .xlsx extension and no luck.

I managed to implement a macro that adds a time/date stamp in Column A when any of the subsequent cells in that row are changed. With this now working, I really need the ability to restore the undo history in case a change to the data needs to be reverted.
Sub procedure:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim c As Range
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each c In Target
If c.Column > 1 And c.Column < 21 Then
Cells(c.Row, 1) = Now
End If
Next c
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

I have a workbook with numerous macros in it and they are assigned to buttons in the different worksheets. I am trying to record a new macro and when I start recording and click on one of the other macros nothing happens. This wasn't a problem in excel 2003.

I have a VBS script that runs a macro in a workbook that is located in a SharePoint doc lib. The code looks like this:
[Code]....
I use code exactly like this to run other queries and it works great, but for some reason when I run this macro the instance of Excel doesn't end after the script is done running. I can see EXCEL.EXE sitting in the Task Manager and I have to end it manually.
Here is the code for the macro and related macros:
This macro just calls my other macros. Each terrslicersXX macro is a different sales territory for which there are slicers to filter out data.
[Code]....
An example of one of the sales territory slicers. Basically it just sets the slicer for the required sales territory so the SaveAsWebpage macro can save the information off as a webpage.
[Code]....
Saves the current data as a webpage.
[Code] ....
I have a feeling it has something to do with the last macro and how I publish the sheet as a webpage but I still can't get it to work.

I have an Excel VBA macro which calls a stored procedure. The stored procedure calls a SQL agent, which in turn calls an SSIS package. All I need from the Excel VBA code is to ensure that the SSIS package ran successfully. How do you develop a VBA code to let the user know that the job either failed or succeeded after the user executes the Excel macro? Also, is there a need for a recordset in the VBA code?

I am getting a "Run time error 5", "invalid procedure call or arguement" when I run a macro on a PC other tha the one on which it was created.
In this case both PC's are running on the version 2007 of Excel.
This is the highlighted statement when the macro fails
Code:
ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
"SOCX25!R1C1:R" & Lr & "C23", Version:=xlPivotTableVersion14).CreatePivotTable _
TableDestination:="SOCX25!R7C25", TableName:="PivotTable1", DefaultVersion _
:=xlPivotTableVersion14

I am using Excel2010.
My sheet displays values collected from a database via an AddIn. The values are updated by pressing CTRL+G (AddIn function).
I have an OnTime macro running SendKeys "^G" to update the values every minute. When the values exceed a certain limit, a sound is played from a custom Alarm function.
This all works as long as the excel window is active.
But if excel is minimized or another window is opened, the values stop updating until Excel is active again.
When the values dont update the sound is not played and that defeats the purpose of the sheet.

I have a UserForm appear when the user opens my file. It prompts them to enter some data. If they Close (Terminate) the Window, I have a MsgBox appear telling them they must enter data - and allow them to go back or exit. When they opt to go back the UserForm reapears but Excel freezes and I have to force quit.
Here is the code for my UserForm, including the Sub for when the User clicks OK (CommandButton1) and the Sub for when the User terminates the window:
VB:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Blank As Integer
Dim Subgroup As Integer [code]....

When an Excel document crashes, I get the option to recover the document the next time I open Excel. However, if it is a read-only file, I don't get this option.
Is there any way around this? I usually work in read-only documents, saving my changes to new documents. If the read-only file I'm working in crashes.

Ok so I have an extensive worksheet that pulls a lot of data from the web, 47 connections to be exact. So on my work computer that runs excel 2007, the data refreshes instantly and I can see all the numbers flying through and changing as the sheets refresh.
However, my personal computer running excel 2010 hangs up with any type of data refresh, not just this sheet in particular. This computer has 8 GB of ram so I don't think that would be the issue?
Does excel 2010 have an issue with data refresh from the web?

The code below resides in my personal.XLS Module. When I step through the code everything works till it reaches the point in red then I get the pop up that says excel needs to close and asks to send or not to send.
I noticed that if I choose recover my work and restart excel and I look at the code in THISWORKBOOK of the recovered workbook that the code I wanted placed there is there.
Can anyone explain why this is happening? I have the macro's security set to low and a check mark in the trust access to vb projects.
Any Idea's how to fix this?

I use Excel 2010, 64-bit-version with Windows 7. I have one workbook, where whenever I create a formula that references to one specific sheet, the Excel crashes and cannot be quitted even with Task Manager. I have to restart the whole system.
I do not have any worksheet events in either sheet. This is the same workbook that crashes if all cells are selected from the top-left corner of the worksheet.
I tried by deleting unnecessary COM add-ins but that didn't work.

When I run a group of macros for some reason after the marcro runs and I hit F2 excel crashes.
I have figured out that it is one of the marcros that makes the excel crash. It is only when I run the solver application. The code is below. Any thoughts why hitting F2 after running this marcro would crash the machine?

I have created a macro in xl2000 which was working fine - although through corporate upgrades my machine has now been upgraded with xl2003 and the macro runs for a bit and then crashes on the code below, although it only highlights teh 'rnum'
rnum = ActiveCell.Row
Is there a difference between xl2000 & xl2003?

I have a report I produce where I take an XML file, sort it and run some simple formulas then sort another way and run a few more formulas then update a pivot table. The XML files I'm using have the same headers but vary in length. When I set the macro up for a particular XML file everything works fine. When I import another one (different size) I get the error message:
Run-time error ‘1004’:
Sort method of Range class failed
When I look at the code I see that the range is fixed to the XML file I used when setting the macro up. Is there a way to auto-select the table in the macro so I can run the same macro on any size XML?

I have the following strange problem. A simple macro 'ActiveWorkbook.Close' causes excel to crash if I use it with a button on my sheet (a form). When I run the macro via developer > macros > run
the macro runs as expected. Even if a run the macro with alerts (thanks to jproffer) the problem persist.

I have 2 excel files (both .xlsx) and in the first file i am creating a reference to cells in the 2nd file using SUMIFS function. The 2nd file has 275,000 rows of data. I can create the formula correctly, however when i save the file, it just crashes every time (says not responding). If i create simple reference (=A275000) then its fine so im not sure what the issue is.

I'm just wondering if any of you can lend some help on a bug i'm encountering. When I press a button on my worksheet to call a macro that brings up a userform, the excel will crash, and give that "do you want to report this error", close down excel, and reopen on a blank worksheet. Strange thing is, this error is avoided if I save the workbook upon opening it, and then call that macro.
The workbook does not read data from external sources, so i dont think is that problem.
Has anyone encountered this?

I have a VBA macro that goes through a decently complex system to delete something like 70 old tabs, create new ones, link data from a main page to these tabs, and create 3 plots per tab. When running the script, it will go through something like 50 of the tabs, and then receive an error on something rather trivial that has been done many times before successfully in this macro (like changing the font size on one of the axes on one of the graphs). I tried an On Error Resume Next, and sure enough it ignores the error, but it then does some sort of crazy loop starting over recreating all the tabs incorrectly, and then excel just shuts down. So, that's no good.
Anyway, I can comment out the change of the font size, but it still has the same issue on some other trivial thing. It seems like the system just runs out of room or needs a cache cleared or something. I'm not sure.

Here in our department we made a pretty elaborate macro that takes a report and sorts them out to 17 different sheets in a one workbook. This Macro pulls a file from a specific location on our server and then opens the CSV sorts it out color codes all the important information and saves it back onto the server under you specific initials.
They are four PC's along with our Managers laptop that run this Macro daily.
About 3 weeks ago my Managers laptop stops running the Macro completely and hangs in the middle of the whole thing. Eventually crashing Excel.
We try to remove the modules and re-import them back into the personal macro workbork but this does not work. The Macro's did not change and still fully function on the other four desktops to this day.
I uninstall Office on my Managers laptop and reinstall. Import the Modules again and still hangs up in very same spot it did 3 weeks ago.
I've tried to lower the macro security to the lowest level also and I've still had no luck with this laptop. I don't understand. The Macro's function perfectly on other PC's but will not function on this laptop.
