Force GetOpenFilename To Views - Preview
Nov 4, 2006
I copied below code from one of Andy Pope's thread answers. Thanks Andy.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim vntFile As Variant
vntFile = Application. GetOpenFilename("Graphics Files (*.bmp; *.gif; *.jpg; *.jpeg),*.bmp;*.gif;*.jpg;*.jpeg," & _
"All File (*.*), *.*", Title:="Select Picture")
If vntFile <> False Then
ActiveSheet. Cells(27, 1).Value = vntFile
Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(vntFile)
Image1.PictureSizeMode = fmPictureSizeModeStretch
End If
End Sub
I would like to force the box to open in Views - Preview instead of List or Details or whatever it is at. I tried the following (and a bunch of other things), but I could not get it to work
With FileDialog
.InitialView = msoFileDialogViewPreview
End With

It takes a specific sheet & range, uses publish object to create a HTML version of this sheet then launches the IE browser to display this to the user.
Issue:
Under Windows XP, Excel 2003 & Excel 2007 this works OK. Under Vista & Excel 2007, the HTML preview file is not getting written - I get an error when IE browser tries to display this file. Error: Can not find "Print Preview.htm"
Anyone run into this on Vista? Is this a permissions issue with writing the html file? Not sure why this exact same code works under XP and not Vista.

about the " getopenfilename" command.
1 - What exactly it can do?
2 - How can I work with it (like, to use the path of a file opened by it)?

Is it possible to disable The "Look In:" field of the GetOpenFilename dialogue?
What I would like to do is to keep users from selecting folders other than the CurrentDirectory settings and if possible to keep the user from deleting,copying and pasteing to the files in the current dirrectory displayed. The code I have is:

I have a column that is updated several times a day, I need to be able to view that list in a userform combo box and that box to be able to react like an autofilter list. I've tried the advanced filter thing but as th elist is contantly updated it makes this very hard to handle as I have to set macros to compile the list and then delete it once it's been used. Is there a way I can set vba code so the ComboBox populates unique fields, sorted AZ and removed the blanks without using the advanced filter..?

Is there a way to have 2 views of the same sheet that will enable either user to only see their own requirements (columns, row)s but that will update the overall worksheet. The users would not be accessing simultaneously. Complex sheet so just need to have user access to a subset of data.

I have a very complex data source (80 columns, thousands of rows) and need different types of Pivot tables for analysis. I have created around 20 Pivot tables in different sheets based on the same data. What I wanted to know was, is there something like a saved 'view' which I can select in the Pivot table to generate different pivots in the same sheet (with different settings of rows, columns, etc but based on the same data)? Currently, to view the other Pivot, I have to go over to the other sheet - or customise the current pivot.

Right now, I've this pop up box which prompts users for passwords and user name for log in. They are two main users : Admin and User. Admin is the user which is allowed to see all sheets. While User is only restricted to user interface sheets.
The problem is for the "User" I want to restrict a view in the sheet
"ELEMENT". I wish to hide columns L to AI if "User" logs in. But if "Admin" logs in, I want no columns hidden. Everything must be visible.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Sheets("Main").Select
Dim strUser As String, strPword As String, strWs As String
Dim w As Worksheet, c As Range, r As Range
strUser = Me.TextBox1.Value
strPword = Me.TextBox2.Value
Select Case strUser
Case "User"
If strPword = "User" Then
Sheets("SMXINVENTORY").Visible = xlSheetVisible
Sheets("SMVINVENTORY").Visible = xlSheetVisible
Sheets("SMIINVENTORY").Visible = xlSheetVisible
Sheets("SMF1INVENTORY").Visible = xlSheetVisible..............

I'm dealing with a spreadsheet that uses custom views. Before I do anything with it, I want to make sure that there is no custom view enabled (e.g. just display all). I've tried Chip Pearson's ThisWorkbook.CustomViews("View1").Show suggestion, but it just throws "Runtime Error 5: Invalid procedure call or argument". My actual code is: ThisWorkbook.CustomViews("All (Est)").Show

I setup custom views for my worksheet
I dragged the custom view command to my menu bar
Everything works great on my machine
But I would like to send to other users and for them to be able to use the custom views w/o having to help them setup on the menu bar
Plus I've had problems in past where custom view tool is not persistent on the menu bar
Sometimes there, sometimes not
Is there a way to add to say cell A1 on the worksheet instead?

I have searched for the Runtime Error 13 in the archives and tried a few things that was suggested such as: If I change the Variables Dim FName as a String for instance it then errors in the middle bold area "If IsArray(FName) Then" as a Compile Error - Expected Array. I tried deleting the Option Explicit but that didn't do anything.
If I comment out the If FName = "False" Then routine it works.. however *that* is in there because if the user hits Cancel on the Getopenfilename box, it will just continue with the rest of the process. If the user hits cancel, I want it to stop, but since this code is in a module, it will kick back to the calling Userform sub and thats how it continues to run. The label caption change is setting a label caption to "cancel" if cancel was selected on the get openfilename dialog to exit out of all the UserForm Subs, Is there a way to pass a variable from a module to a userform?
Option Explicit
Sub GetData_Example5()
Dim SaveDriveDir As String, MyPath As String
Dim FName As Variant, N As Long
Dim rnum As Long, destrange As Range
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim wsNew As Worksheet
SaveDriveDir = CurDir
MyPath = Application.DefaultFilePath 'or use "C:Data"
ChDrive MyPath
ChDir MyPath
FName = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="Excel Files,*.xls", _
MultiSelect:=True)
If FName = "False" Then
' They pressed Cancel
' Set Label Caption as Cancel so rest of routine can be Canceled

I have a worksheet set up with a number of pivot tables to show job summaries for each project manager. I created buttons labeled with each project manager that trigger a macro to filter the results to only show jobs for that specific project manager. There's one button for each project manager.
I'd like to create a macro that will essentially show each project manager's report and compile the result into one PDF. I only have 5 project managers so I don't need an array or anything if that makes it easier, I could write the code manually for each one.
So basically, it would do this:
1. Run macro to filter results to only show Project Manager #1 jobs.
2. "temporarily" print to PDF.
3. Run macro to filter results to only show Project Manager #2 jobs.
4. "temporarily" print to PDF.
5. Run Macro for Project Manager #3, etc.....
...............
Final step. Compile all the "temporary" pdfs into one file.

I have created a report with 22 sheets as different pages to be included or hidden depending upon the type of report needed. I had found several sources saying to use the Custom Views function. So for example I will unhide all the sheets and add as a Custom View "All Sheets" and then whittle it down to the 5 I might need for B type inspections and add that view as B Inspection. But when I try and toggle between them I'm getting an error message that says "Some view settings could not be applied" - and thew saved view I was looking for is not the same sheetwise.

1. I have a shared and protected workboook that about 15 people update. For some reason, when people open it they can't always scroll. Anyone know why this happens and how to fix?
2. Is there a setting so that whoever opens the workbook will see the same view (instead of whatever view the last person saved the file in)?

I've posted this on Experts Exchange too, specifically trying to target the SQL Server experts. http://www.experts-exchange.com/Soft..._24423637.html
SQL Server isn't really my thing. I have been asked to quote on a job to build some models. One of the components is to pass parameters to sql server views and return the data into a table in Excel. I never done this.
1. Is it possible to pass parametrs to a view thru Excel?
2. Will the view execute based on the users permissions (different users using the Excel template have different access rights)?
3. Any other things to consider?
I don't need specific solution, only really some broad advice. I really only want to know how feasible this is...

When I use the GetOpenFilename() method, it seems to default to the particular users My Documents. Is there a way to force it to default elsewhere like a share drive, or the users desktop?
In the same line of thought, if I have a file named TestFile.xls. and I want to try to open it from the users desktop if they have it, how can I do this, since their desktop location is different than mine?

I am using the GetOpenFilename method to allow the user to select a file to open:
vaFiler = Application.GetOpenFilename _
(FileFilter:="Adobe PDF Files (*.pdf),*.pdf", _
title:=Description, MultiSelect:=False)
What I would like to do is 'pre-load' the filename the user can select. They will be picking a file to attach to a part as a datasheet. Almost every single datasheet in the library has the part nuber as part of it's filename, so to make it a little quicker (and more accurate), I want pre-load the filename selection window with *partnr*.pdf. If nothing shows up, the user can delete filename I have entered for them and see all files in that directory.

I'm having problems with the multiselect argument of the getopenfilename function. I've used this dozens of times with no problems, but now it doesn't work for me. I tried copying and pasting code that works in one module,
What I'm using is
Sub OpenFiles()
Dim vFiles As Variant, iNumfiles As Integer
vFiles = Application.GetOpenFilename(MultiSelect:=True)
If IsArray(vFiles) Then
For iNumfiles = LBound(vFiles) To UBound(vFiles)
MsgBox vFiles(iNumfiles)
Next iNumfiles
End If
End Sub
pretty simple, expect that when I select multiple files in the open dialog box, vfiles is a string containing one of the filenames, not an array containing them all! (by selecting, I simply highlight all the fiels I want and click open)

I'm writing a subroutine that asks the user to pick a file (using GetOpenFileName) and extracts some data from it, then closes the workbook it opened automatically.
Problem is that it seems I can only reference workbooks by index, which is a big problem if they have more than one workbook open. I don't want to have to force them to only keep 1 workbook open, that seems like bad practice.
importFile = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls", , "Select field sheet")
If importFile = False Then Exit Sub
Workbooks.Open importFile ' Open the new workbook
importFile ends up returning something like, "C:Documents and SettingsMy DocumentsFieldBook.xls".....................

I have a large spreadsheet that I am managing and there are many users who access this for information. Because of this, we have all created "custom views" for our departments.
I continue to struggle with how to save changes in these custom views. Yesterday, I added and moved some columns to the spreadsheet and now all the custom views are messed up. The only way we have been able to work through this is deleting and creating new views.

I have a spreadsheet with four columns of data for every month (i.e. January has a Prior Year, Budget, Outlook, and Actual column). I have been trying to come up with a macro or form that will allow me to customize which columns I would like to see and hide the rest. For example, if I chose to see the Budget and Actual columns, it would hide the Prior Year and Outlook columns for each month.
