View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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 looking for code that when cmdfile is click, it will open up the 'open file' dialog box, and go to a specified directory on the pc, and list ALL files in that folder, but not open it. I want the user to select the file manually.
I found the following code on the forums, but don't know if it is relavent in my case
Const myDir As String = "C:NAVIGATIONPERSONAL
ussNLN"
I want to open a specific sheet and refresh only said sheet when i open another sheet for example x.xls
So opening x.xls will automatically open y.xls
I've tried this in the workbook code area but it doesn't do anything.

hi, i need a macro that will open the below file path, and when i select the file i would like the macro to copy the active sheet from the source file being opened from range A2:L10000 and then paste special values to destination CELL A16 of the activesheet of the workbook.
I would like the date format for the below to be generic so it will apply for all months and years.

I have an application that requires users to download a file from a location that is then imported at their execution into the application. I've done my best to counsel users to download the file to their desktop (for ease of locating) and to stick with a standard filename so that there are no errors. Some of these people just don't take direction well, will save the file wherever, or save the name inappropratly, or worse, open up multiple copies of the same file corrupting the name: ie: FileName.xls, FileName.xls(1), FileName1.

Code:
Sub GetData_Example4()
Dim SaveDriveDir As String, MyPath As String
Dim FName As Variant
SaveDriveDir = CurDir
MyPath = Application.DefaultFilePath 'or use "C:Data"
[Code] ....
So that it still prompts the user for the path but limits their selection to only Excel files and only those named 'Roles'?

1 I need to open a csv file in order to use data in it at location "C:BarkingEMCIN" to input into an xls spreadsheet. I then need to use the info from the xls spreadsheet along with other info input by users to produce another .csv and it be deposited at "C:BarkingEMCOUT"
The name of the file at "C:BarkingEMCIN" will change everyday or even multiple times a day and be in the format "AVA_DA_260208_BPL_EDF_001.CSV" "AVA DA " will remain the same "260208" will be todays date the next 2 will be interchangeable depending on requirements and use BPL EDF and SSE will be interchangeable depending on requirements and 001 will be the version whcih will be changable. _ underscores will be used as seperators
They will then be save in the format "NOM_DA_260208_BPL_EDF_001.CSV" using the same prinipals as before but automatically saving as the next available when needed with a prompt to tell the user what it will be
I would like to have a macro button that will open the file location (path were the excel is stored) in MS explorer.
I found something like:
Sub ExplorePath()
Shell Environ("windir") & "Explorer.exe " & ActiveDocument.Path, vbMaximizedFocus
End Sub
But that give the error that an object is needed. Would that also work for MS Word?
I've seen many posts advocating the use of BrowseFolder.zip located at
[url]
And some others saying to use the FileDialog object (if you use Excel 2002, or older(?))
I have to admit both are above my prior experience level, but I think I can do it if I understand what their function, requirements, and output are.
All I need is a dialog box that preferably lets me select the default directory, and then allows the user to select the target directory.
I have a file which is opened every so often. This file when opened it presents a userform in which you browse two files which then get loaded into the document and some charts/pivots are updated with the information from the loaded files.
When you click on the browse button it opens the browser dialog box in the libraries path. I am wondering if it's possible to have the dialog box open in the last directory path used.
For example:
A week ago I opened the file from the path C:UsersIntiDocumentsProjectsTea Project
What I would like to happen is that when I open the file today and I click the "Browse" button (which opens the dialog box to find files in your computer) for the dialog box to open automatically in the path C:UsersIntiDocumentsProjectsTea Project
Then if tomorrow the file is opened from the path C:UsersIntiPicturesProjectsTea2Project
Then a week from now when you browse for the file the dialog box opens automatically in the C:UsersIntiPicturesProjectsTea2Project path
This is what I have right now and it always opens the dialog box on C:UsersIntiDocuments

I have a variable ("DestFile") that defines a path to a file (used in saving the file)...
I'm in the process of getting a Sub to hyperlink to this file, but in some circumstances, I may only want to hyperlink to the folder, not the actual file...
How would I go about trimming the "DestFile" address to get a "DestFldr" address?...
An example of "DestFile" might be;
S:BryanFor KenGulf ConstructionST0609014-t.xls
(the file name length may vary)
What code can I use to consistently trim it back to;
S:BryanFor KenGulf Construction
as the "DestFldr" variable?

How to save a file, with file- name. but the directory is to be read in worksheet "towns" in Cell1 (brussels) and filename in worksheet "names" in cell B2 (i.e. winter), so it saves to c:russelswinter.txt as a wordpad or kladblok txt file, that keeps a number, so each time we push a button "go back from worksheet names to worksheet towns" the "number" that is saved in the txt document goes up by value +1. In Flemisch, the "old" code goes as follows, and saves the number in the txt file Factuurnummer7.txt. But I want that the file name (here: FactuurNummer7) can be a variable text issue, which has to be read - as already noticed - in cell B2 (with the word WINTER). So the are 2 worksheets: towns, ans names
pad$ = Application.DefaultFilePath
'controle = Dir(pad$ + "FactuurNummer7.txt")

Below is the current code I have for File Copy before the workbook closes. This file will be distributed all over and obviously will not have the same old path and new path locations as I have in my code also will not have the same file name. Is there anyway to still perform the file copy without knowing the old path and file name and possibly have message box pop up to ask the copy to location and use that in the new path string?
Sub Macro1()
Dim fs As Object
Dim oldPath As String, newPath As String
oldPath = "I:EXLDATAMC Daily" '<---Where the file is currently located
newPath = "H:South RegionOrlando Mail Services2008DI" 'Since the super shared drive is super slow we will just copy and replace this file each time before we close and of course after we save
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.CopyFile oldPath & "" & "OrlandoMail.xls", newPath & "" & "OrlandoMail.xls"
Set fs = Nothing
End Sub
how can i open a different path of the workbook in the listbox. if my listbox there only show the file name.
