File Error: Data May Have Been Lost ...
Jun 28, 2007
I have created some Excel files using Excel 2000 on Windows Server 2003. The Excel version is given as 9.0.6926 SP-3. When I open them using Excel 2000 in Windows 2000 after a few sheet deletions I get the error message "File Error: Data May Have Been Lost" when opening the files. The Excel version is given as 9.0.8948 SP-3 in Windows 2000 (why is it different to the version number in Server 2003? Could this be part of the problem?) It crashes on this line
If Sheets(3). Name <> "template" Then
with the error "Run time error 32809 Application defined or object defined error".
The template sheet is very hidden. When I try and unhide it I get the 32809 error again.

We have an excel template with numerous VBA and Macros embedded within it, saved on a central drive. I am able to access this file ok, however, when I save it when it is reopened by either myself, or a colleague, we get the "File error: data may have been lost" message. Everyone else within my organisation can open the template, edit, and save and subsequently reopen the spreadsheet without any problems at all.
One thing I have noticed, which to me seems strange is that the files I save that have the "error" message are slightly smaller in size than the ones my colleagues save (350kb vs 417kb)
My IT department have tried unintalling Excel and reinstalling, and also rebuilding my profile, all to no avail. A trainer has sat with me to check I am not using the spreadsheet incorrectly (or differently to anyone else, and this is not the case).

I know, I know... should've backed it up... there exists no other copy of the file in question newer than it's initial creation two weeks ago (been working on it solidly since).
The data does appear to be there but, rather mixed up... does anyone know of any methods/tools/software that might be able to salvage as much of the data (needs to be in it's original structure as it's a cross match excersice) as humanly possible?

I'm working with a list of different manufacturer part numbers, that must be represented in TEXT format only! The file with manufacturer part numbers exported from ERP system to TXT/CSV formats. When I open it in Excel , manually in "Text Import Wizard" I define Column Data Format as Text.
Examples:
1. part number 3214-4-5 turns to 05/04/3214
2. part number 0005487 turns to 5487
3. part number 223878615654 turns to 2.23879E+11
4. part number 4303.240600 turns to 4303.2406
Is anyway to do it automatically from VBA? I try to record macro , but it does not contain "text format".

I'm scraping a website for some data using the following program. The program was working as expected until I decided to add a save file element that was a copy paste of some code a friend gave me (attached below). Funny thing is the save file functionality works but now I can't get IE to load the webpage - I get a 438 Error. I'm thinking there's a problem with something in the references menu.
Code:
Sub GET_PVI()
Dim Days_in_Month(1 To 12) As Integer
Dim Name As String
[Code]....

When I use customize and assign a macro (to a button) I set the "Marco In" option to "This Workbook" then select a macro from the available list. If you close the Assign Macro dialog and open it again, notice how it appends the name of the file to the macro name. Later, in an automated process the xls filename is appended with a value and I think this is causing the problem because the appended data is static and thus no longer is in sync with the new (latest) filename. How do I assign macro's to either custom toolbar's or autoshapes so that the assignment is tolerant of file name changes? I tried to delete the appended data but it is appended automatically.
I am also curious why some of the macro's listed in the dialog include a filename and macro name delimited with an exclaimation mark and some are macro name only (with no delimiter).

I can still do a pivot report against the 'saved' data. So it must be out there in a file...? I read the function GETPIVOTDATA. Based on the description, It sounds like it would work to rebuild the source data. However the examples given don't see to match up with that. I have tried playing with the command, but I really don't know what I am doing and have had no luck
Does anyone know of a way to retrieve that stored data that the pivot reports are reporting against?

I've created a spreadsheet which, on running a macro, imports data from a text file, formats it and then sums various parts of it giving me a subset of the large file as a range of data for a chart (a pie chart) on Sheet 2.
The problem begins when I delete the data in the worksheet in preparation for another import - the Pie chart just loses all the data and I have to manually reselect it in the chart each time.
Once deleted the chart is blank, but as soon as the data is imported, I get reference errors when I click on Sheet 2
I must be doing something wrong. You can delete data and repopulate it and the chart should pick up with the new data. If the cells it is referencing are empty, it is blank. Not so here.
Is it to do with importing the data? Or the formula for my chart data?

I am trying to develop a code which extracts the data from text files inside a folder (Folder test in my desktop) into one sheet. The Macro is in the workbook “Text Extract” which is an excel 2007 file. The data of each text should be copied to Sheet1 of this workbook one below the other. For testing purpose I have kept only one text file in the folder and was trying to copy the data from the text data extracted sheet to Cell A1 of Sheet1 of workbook “Text Extract”. The code works fine till copying the data, but shows below error in the line “Selection.Paste”:
Run time error 438: Object doesn’t support this property or method.
Below is the code:
Sub LoopThroughFiles()
Dim strFile As String
Dim strPath As String
[Code]....

the spreadsheet needs to be copied to a directory called "C:downloads" as it contains a ODBC query to itself (In reality, this is a query to an External Oracle Database)
On loading, it should pop up a simple userform, with a combo and two command buttons, which when pressed takes you to a (hidden) tab that displays a pivottable.
All works well until I try to close /save when 60% of the time, Excel encounters problems and closes and will not load up the file the next time until either quit excel or disable macros. Messages include "file/path access error", "I/O Error" or get restarts excel.
On a casual run through, I expect you might report back that "All worked ok for me". Please can you give it a bit of a thrashing, comment out the userform show, save the file (frequently) becuase i assure you it will break ultimately!
This is a brand-new file and I've tried it on about 5 different PC running different versions of Excel and generally get the same result.

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 blank file and a data file for current year with formulas.
So I am trying to take a couple of tabs from current year data file and pasting them into the blank file.
My question when is do that all the formulas get referenced to the current years file. i want to keep the same formulas but reference the tabs on blank file.
Is there a quicker way to do this rather and going into all the cells and changing reference from current years files data to blank files data.

I created a macro to run with my daily reports in excel. The only issue is the names of the report change every day respectively as Mat1 mm-dd-yy. I have tried to manover with the code but it always leads to a dead end. How can I change the code to be able to run with any date.
Mat1Macro Macro
'

Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
Rows("1:4").Select
Range("A4").Activate
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
Range("C1").Select

Selection.EntireColumn.Delete

I have a workbook that is used by others and has been working reasonably well for several years. The users are youngsters who tend to play with it when a bit bored but I usually manage to put things right. They seem to have done something special this time.
The formatting for dates, time and money has gone and I cannot correct it. I have tried the usual formatting of cells, painting formats from other sheets, copying and pasting formats all to no avail. The whole sheet is effected so that new entries appear the same way although the correct format appears in the formula bar.
I don't know if this is relevant but the sheet relies on VBA form inputs. The code is password protected and only I know the password.
The PC is not connect to the internet or a network so I have ruled out a virus. (As far as I know, no floppies or USB sticks have been used on it either.)

Having recently started to get involved in Visual Basic I have managed to write some code that has removed all of my menus except for File and Help. In a blind panic I deleted what I think was the offending VB code in a vain attempt to return the menus. This didn't work. I am now stumped.
Also, I managed to change the way the Cell selection works when I press Return. When I press Return, Excel now selects the cell to the right of the one I was in rather than the one below it. Is there a way I can change this back?

I have been chasing this little devil for some time now and I'm fed up!!
I put a formula in cells formula bar and whenever it decides by itself poof its gone!!!
example formula would be say (in formula bar)
=SUMPRODUCT(--($A$5:$A$200>(h4/24)),--($A$5:$A$200<(h5/24)))
in say cell g31 with answer in cell 31.
Now it just dawn on me, this is an array correct so ctrol,shift, enter may be needed?? If so why do other cells with same idea work?

I just spent 8 hours of VBA coding completed and after exiting excel and re-opening the file, I have seem to lost all the 8 hours worth of VBA coding I just completed. For example, I created an extra module (Module 3) and that disappeared; I updated several SUB commands and even those did not update. My code was about accessing databases using the OpenDatabase method and I noticed that towards the end before I shut it, my connection to the database kept failing (hence the reason why I was closing it and reopening it).

I have some very important excel spreads that are returning this error...
"The file might have been damaged or modified from its original format."
Out of the blue. Google search step-by-steps keep saying I need to "Open and Repair", but I can't find this function anywhere on the Mac osx version I have, and Help doesn't return any info either.
How do I repair these files? I have not updated my Excel version, nor have I updated my operating system. Indeed, I have done nothing unusual with these files at all, this is totally sudden.

The error that pops up has no information other than "File not found" in a dialog box with two buttons.
File not found (Error 53)
The file was not found where specified. This error has the following causes and solutions:
A statement, for example, Kill, Name, or Open, refers to a file that doesn't exist.
Check the spelling of the file name and the path specification.
An attempt has been made to call a procedure in a dynamic-link library (DLL) or Macintosh code resource, but the library or resource file name specified in the Lib clause of the Declare statement can't be found.
Check the spelling of the file name and the path specification.
In the development environment, this error occurs if you attempt to open a project or load a text file that doesn't exist.
Check the spelling of the project name or file name and the path specification.
For additional information, select the item in question and press F1 (in Windows) or HELP (on the Macintosh).

We have built quite a large Excel based program that contains quite a lot of coding. the program seems to work fine the majority of the time but every so often we recieve an error message that causes excel to not save, or to crash and shut down.
The message that comes up is "File/Path Error"
Now I've just done some hunting around online and some links I have found speak of declairing the document location correctly in the coding. I was wondering could this be the issue at hand?
Anytime the document needs to save, there is a cell with the directory path and file path declared as a variable (Actually as Dim String) within the coding. Is this the best way to declare a file path?
Also, the problem seems intermittent. We Compile the VBA coding before saving, we also use a Clean Project add-in within Excel. These processes usually help but every so often the problem comes back.

I am trying to open an Add-In file (that I wrote) and I am now getting the following error "File Not Found". I am sure it has to do with a typo in the code or something.
However, I cannot get anything to open up so that I can see the VBA code. The spreadsheet itself does not contain any data, just the VBA project.
how I can get at the code to fix it?
I tried to upload the file, but it is too big for the requirements.

I'm essentially trying to place a column that is largely based on another....a function that will calculate the following information
Carriers with 1 Vehicle - 25.00
Carriers with 2-4 Vehicles - 100.00
Carriers with 5-9 Vehicles - 200.00
Carriers with 10-24 vehicles - 400.00
Carriers with 25-49 vehicles - 750.00
Carriers with 50+ vehicles - 1500.00
In other words.
One column in my spreadsheet has number of vehicles. I want another column that will provide the according application fee as found in the information above.

I have two files: let's say File1 and File2.File1 has one column: datas are in a text format.I copy this column. I want to paste it in my second file.File2 is closed.I open it and i paste my column.
Here's my problem. If i let my first file opened, there's no problem(!!): my column is pasted as i want. My datas keep their original format.
But, if i close my first file and after, i open File2 and i paste my column, then my datas lose their original format.My column takes a numeric format.I can see it because my datas are on the left in the column.And i can chek it by a sum: if i do 400+200, for example, the result is 600. In the first case(text format), the result is 0.I don't understand why.If someone can explain me this situation, i'd be happy.I repeat: my second file is closed. I open it after my copy in the first file.

I might have hit a wrong key or button, which caused a part of the current sheet not being displayed.
First column shown is C, but cols A an B are still in the sheet.
How can I get cell A1 in the left hand corner again?

On some worksheets and spreadsheets, when I save the formulas disappear, only to be replaced by the previously calculated values. It has become a real pain.
I assume this is something simple.

A IT Ordering system has been created using Excel, I am prompted to enable Macros, no problem there. The problem is that when I exit the worksheet using a formulas setup as an exit button, my Excel is displayed with my Toolbars missing. I have been unable right-click at the top and re-add these I am only presented with the option to minimise, close etc. 1. How can I replace my Toolbars? 2. Is there a formula fix so that I can use this worksheet without losing my toolbars?
