File Save As Dialog Arguments
Jun 30, 2007
I am running a macro on startup from a template that opens the File Save As dialog box to allow the user to select a folder and filename and save it before continuing.
I would like it to default to the Q: drive, it defaults to where the template was opened from.
I used
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show
to open the dialog, I tried using "Q:" as an argument but it doesn't seem to work.
if I try
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show "Q:"

I want to be able to have the Save As dialog box come up, but with a File Name already chosen, so that the user can save it as this File Name in any location he/she wishes. I can get the Save As dialog box coming up with my code, but I don't know how to automatically enter the File Name

I have a summary file (I'll call it File A) from which a macro is run. It opens other files, finds a "total line" then copies it into File A. Then it closes that file, opens another, and repeats the process. The macro works fine for most of the files it opens and closes, but on some of them, upon the close command, a dialog box pops up asking "Do you want to save the changes you made to "File B.xls"?
I'm not sure why this comes up as there were no changes made. Cells were only copied and pasted into another file. Is there a way to stop this annoying box from popping up? It slows down the macro by waiting for human input. here is my

I'm trying to make a macro check if a file has been saved (ever). If so I want the macro to do a regular save (with already esatablished filename and location) before it proceeds with the rest of the macro. If the file hasnt been saved (if it runs from a new workbook) then I want it to pop up the save.as dialog, so that the user can choose the name and location of the file before the macro continues .
The macro itself is saved in personal.xlsx.

How can i call the Save As dialog box from a macro, and pre-populate the filename field with a cell value from the workbook? I have tried this code
With Application.Dialogs(xlDialogFileSaveAs)
.Name = Sheets("Calcs").Range("b37").Value
.Show
End With
with the cell reference being what i want to show in the filename box. Each time i run it, i get an error message, "run time error 1004, application defind or object defined error"

When a user tries to save a workbook I want the workbook to display the Save As dialog box. This will ensure that the template is not accidentally tempered with.

I'm not sure what I'm missing here, but I am trying to exit a spreadsheet using VBA code without saving changes.
The following code, to my mind, should work, but I keep getting a dialog asking if I want to save changes.
'* ensure workbook does not request user to save it...
ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
'* exit Excel...
Application.Quit

I am modifying a corporate macro that is used in to create a standard technical letter. This standard file has 6 macros, that once used to create the letter, are never used again. I know, the first thing that jumps out is to create an add-in. I'd prefer not to got hat route at the moment for various reasons.
What I'm looking to do is after the letter is created, and the print macro is called and prints the letter, all macros are removed (already found help for this on this site), then check to see if the file has been saved, or still has the template name, and then either save or bring up the save as dialog box for the user to save the file with the appropriate name and folder.

I have a command button code on a sheet that checks if all the cells in a table have been completed before saving the worksheet. If they're not all complete a userform message box pops up with a reminder then returns to the sheet without saving. I want to be able to call this from the 'BeforeClose' event as well however, even though it still does what it's supposed to do, after the userform message box has displayed and been unloaded then it still pops up the Save Dialog box.
I'm struggling to suppress the Save Dialog box and return to the sheet.

Why excel won't accept a simple COUNT function?
This is the formula. It is supposed to count every 4th cell in a column.
=COUNT(F156,F152,F148,F144,F140,F136,F132,F128, F124,F120,F116,F112,F108,F104,F100,F96, F92,F88,F84,F80,F76,F72,F68,F64,F60,F56,F52,F48,F44,F40,F36,F32,F28,F24,F20,F16,F12,F8,F4)
Excel tells that it will accept up to 255 arguments in a COUNT function, but it'll only let me include:
=COUNT(F156,F152,F148,F144,F140,F136,F132,F128,F124,F120,F116,F112,F108,F104,F100,F96,F92,F88,F84,F80,F76,F72,F68,F64,F60,F56,F52,F48,F44,F40)
I have to use this exact same formula as a SUM function as well, but am having the same problem. Neither SUM or COUNT will take all the arguments.
I've attached the file. The tabs in red are the worksheets that won't accept the formula. The green tabs worked fine (they all had less cells to include than the sheets in red.)

I'm looking to create a macro that launches a dialog box upon file launch. Based on the input, I want excel to only show the tab which corresponds to the dialog box entry.
For example, if it asks "What is your name?" on file launch and I respond "Alex"; i want the tab labeled "Alex" to only be shown for the user.

my code brings up an empty dialog box.
The file I am trying to view is saved as follows: C: Test.gif
What I have done.Added a image control to a dialog box, called image1
Added the following event handler to image1:
x = c: test.gif
Image1.picture = loadpicture (X)Pressed F5 to test the code and brings up a dialog box with a blank image box.
Not called the userform in the main module (didn't seem much point considering the test failed)
My questions
where I am going wrong with this, the correct code?
Also in inputting the address of the file I could not use the C: format as this brought up an error. What is the correct format?

complete the attached code (Excel VBA) to automatically process a File Download dialog from Internet Explorer. I want to click "Save" which will produce the "Save As" dialog. Then I need to enter a default filename like (C:Temp) and click "Save" again. When this is working, I will hide Internet Explorer to make the operation completely transparent to the user. The URL is a sample chosen specifically for this test case.
Public Sub Report_Test()
Dim objIE As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
Dim strURL As String
Dim varItem As Variant
' Establish connection to the Internet Explorer application.
Set objIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
' Set Internet Explorer visible.

I am trying to white a macro that takes a file path from a cell value and opens that file. When there is no file path in the cell, it prompts a dialog box. This part is pretty much working. However, I would like the file path selected from the dialog box to be added to the cell in the original workbook.
Sub Reports()
Dim path1 As String
path1 = Range("B20").Value
On Error Resume Next
'checks if there is already a file path'
Workbooks.Open filename:= _
path1, Updatelinks:=1
'if no file path then opens dialog box'
If Error.Number <> 0 Then
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show Arg1:="*.*"
End If
End Sub

I am using the following code to allow the user to select files to open. I have realised that you can create multiple filters with the msoFileDialogFilePicker command, which is very useful, since the program initalliy takes multiple text files, loads them into a workbook as seperate sheets and then saves the workbook as an excel file. Therefore I would like the user to be able to select the text files to load but also to be able to check if the corresponding excel file already exists and if so to be able to directly open this rather than have to create a new file from the text files. Therefore my question is: Is there a way to be able to tell which filter was in use when the file was selected?
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With fd
.AllowMultiSelect = True
.Filters.Clear
.Filters.Add "Excel Files", "*.xls"
.Filters.Add "Text Files", "*.txt"
.Show
' olWin.Activate
A = 1 ...........

To have other users open a workbook on the network without having to click button to open it as read only.
I have been trying to get rid of the "File In Use" message for the other users since they only need a read only copy. I am the only one who needs to know if it is in use because I will make changes to the workbook tools and have to save them.
I have set the Save As preferences so that it requires a password for modification and checked the read only checkbox. But that dialog box is popping up for the users. I am trying to eliminate any file in use dialog box for users other than myself.
Here is my workbook open procedure...
Private Sub Workbook_open()
Dim wBook As Workbook
Dim UsrName As String
UsrName = Environ("username")
On Error Resume Next
Set wBook = Workbooks("Excel_Tools.xls")
