File Might Have Been Damaged Error
Dec 14, 2009
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 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.

I am receiving an error at
Set CopyRng = Wkb.worksheet1.Range(Cells(RowofCopyworksheet, 1),

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 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

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 am facing a weird date format error in .csv file for a specific time periods.
I have a file where data is stored on monthly basis from the years 1976 uptil today. I have all the data months in expected format except for the years 1989, 1990 and 1991. These files are created by using Informatica and SAS.
For example:
Expected date format = 1-January 1989
Actual Date Format = 1-Jan-89
This issue doesn't exist when we open the same file in Excel, Textpad and Notepad.
I have attached screenshot of the data (filename: CSV Issue.JPG).

Anyone ever seen this error “File not found: VBA6.DLL” ?
This error happens when I press a button I’ve created in the sheet. Funny thing is that there are other buttons right beside this button and they all work just fine. I’ve checked the code and names of all the macros in the sheet.
I’ve recreated a different module and renamed the macro and attached the code to another button.

I recorded a macro to save a worksheet as a PDF file
It works fine, except when the PDF file is already open - Excel returns an error message and stops.
Can I use some error handling code to prevent the error, maybe bring up a msgbox and exit the sub at the point where the error occurs?
The part of the code where it stops is:
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
"C:UsersDaveDesktopTestingDemo List.pdf", Quality:= _
xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=False

I am getting a "Runtime Error 53 - File not Found" with the below code. I am trying to move xml files from one folder to another. The file exists as my other macro can access the xml files and extract the info. But I can't get the macro to move them! Removing the last slash in the folder address hasn't worked either.
HTML Code:
Public Sub move()
Dim MyFolder As String
Dim NewFolder As String
Dim MyFile As String

The sub i'm currently using does an instr search for a unique string in an xml file. This works fine but i'd like to speed up the search if possible because I have a large number of xml files to search. My problem is that i have very little experience in parsing xml.
I notice that if i load the xml file and look at the namespaces i see item(1) through about item(20) and the unique string is always contained in one of those items. Note that the number of items can be different for each xml file i load.
The xml file is loaded into an object i define as oInstance and i'd like to do something like:
Do
counter = counter+1
if oInstance.namespaces.item(counter) = uniquestring then[code]....
but now i get Err.Number 91

This is the code I am using, I can not remember where I got it from.
Code:
Sub PDF()
' Saves marked sheets as PDF file.
Const PDF_path = "c:
eports"
Dim Snr As Integer
Dim Name As String
'Process all sheets in workbook
[code]....
This outputs all worksheets that have a specific value for A1, "Y".
My problem is it always prints exactly one too many, an extra copy. I think it may have to do with a broken loop?

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 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.

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?

I am getting a Type Mismatch Error when I run the following code.
I need to have the name save as

in a specific location that is in this line of code. When i have it put 'dispositions' first, it works, but i need the date to show first in the name. Am I missing an additional function or quotes?

I have a template excel file that has links to data in another excel file in the same directory as the template. However, I save the template with a new name in a new folder and the link no longer works. The link changes to the location with the new file and of course the file I am trying to like to is not in that location.
The link shows the full path in the template file so I would think it would keep the full path when saving to a new location but the file doesn't.
How do I make the link address static?

I have an excel 2003 template containing a userform that is displayed using the workbook_open event.
The userform causes excel to crash with file/path error 75. i have tried many suggestions given on ozgrid and several other forums with no joy.
When the userform crashes, the debugger stops on DataFormNew.show.
I have added stop commands in the initialise procedure to see what is going on and it appears that my userform has disappeared!
to upload the excel template and any other information required to get this sorted.
its size is 765 KB which exceeds the size limit to attach to the post.
here is the workbook_open macro:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'On Error GoTo MyError
'Call UnProtectAll
'Dim frm As UserForm
'For Each frm In UserForms
' Unload frm
'Next
