The default program for opening JPG files is "Windows picture and fax viewer" which is fine with one of my colleagues. Upon declaring and clicking on a Hyperlink, to a JPG fle, the picture is opened in "Microsoft photo editor". How can one define the program in which Pictures opens via Hyperlinks will be displayed!? (WINXP & Office 2002)
View 3 RepliesI would like to, using VBA, assign a hyperlink to an excel cell that links to another worksheet within the same workbook. I've tried the forums, and combined with a previous post and MS Excel Help File, I've come up with the following attempt:
With Worksheets("Test Destination")
.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=.Cells(counter + 4, 5), Address:=strHyper2, _
TextToDisplay:=(#1/1/2007# + counter)
End With
strHyper2 is previously defined: strHyper2 = "[WeatherTester.xls]1!A1"
My spreadsheet file is "WeatherTester.xls", my worksheet is "1", and "A1" is the desired link location for the cursor. Counter is an integer. I get the error "Invalid procedure call or argument". I also tried to enter a hyperlink directly through the formula property, but Excel didn't like the single quotations I had to use within the HYPERLINK function. The hyperlink formula works in the following form: =HYPERLINK("[WeatherTester.xls]1!A1","1 Jan")
I want to list file names from a directory and sub directories and hyperlink them. I have been able to list the file names onto an excel sheet, but I cannot get it to hyperlink to the file.
'Force the explicit delcaration of variables
Option Explicit
Sub ListFiles()
[Code]....
since my pc has updated to ie7 all pictures that I open via hyperlinks from excel now open in and internet explorer window instead of windows picture & fax viewer as JPEG's are set to.
If I open the JPEG files directly they open with the correct program.
I'm sure it must be a setting somewhere but I cant find it.
I have a workbook for Purchase orders.

I have an workbook with pictures that are linked to external picture files, and they are placed in the workbook via macro. When I email the file to another computer and open it, the pics do not display and show an error:
The linked image cannot be displayed. The file may have been moved, renamed, or deleted, Verify that the link points to the correct file and location.
I would like to be able to save the workbook with the pictures in them (without having to archive them) so that I can open it and see them on another machine.

View 6 Replies View RelatedOur state carries a 4% sales tax on all items except food and prescriptions.
Our county carries a 3% sales tax on everything.
Attached on my work sheet:
Column "C" determines if an item is either food or non-food.
"G5" is the subtotal of column G
"G4" is the S/tx on "G5" at 3%
"G3" is the S/tx on "G5" at 4%.
"G2" is the gross pay out.
My question is:
I'd like a formula for Cells "G3" and "G4" that can determine which items paid for in column "G" match a "N" or an "NF" in column "C".
If an item in column "G" represents a "F" in column "C", then there should not be anything in cell "G4" If an item in column "G" represents a "NF" in column "C", then there should be a figure in "G3" & "G4".

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am working on a process model, which requires that the same basic procedure be carried out for each unit in the process.
One worksheet is allocated to each unit with data concerning the flow streams being passed from the previous unit and the product being linked to the next unit. Although the same procedure is therefore being followed on each sheet, the input data differs.
I currently have the code to perform the required technical operations and calculations for a single unit. This code is very much dependent on named ranges.
I want to use the same core to perform the routine-operations, but need either unique named ranges on each page or I need a way to define name that is limited to the specific worksheet on which it is located.
For example, I might have an input range for a heater and splitter, with a technical add-in in VBA performing calculations on the input for each unit. How can I use two separate instances of the name "Input" instead of "Input_Heater" and "Input_Splitter"?
30 people in different countries use a sophisticated VBA Excel file on their local PCs, let's call it myexcelfile.xls. This file contains no custom data, as all data is stored in myexcelfile_backup.xls.
The biggest challenge with this set up is that whenever there is a newer release or bugfix of myexcelfile.xls, I need to send it out per email to 30 people and hope they replace it with my updated version.
Note that newer versions can replace older versions without any data loss, as all data is stored in the backup file.
Idea: with tools like WGET or BITSADMIN, I was thinking of creating a batch file, that would simply download the latest version from a FTP server, and replace the older version with the newly downloaded one.
Constraints: I shouldn't be using any software that is not native to Windows 7the files can sit in different folders on these 30 computers, therefore the update mechanism would have to identify the path they are in.the update mechanism would have to close the file first before running the update. Question: What is the best way to go about this? A DOS Batch file? Or another excel file that is just the "updater", meaning, it's only purpose is to download the new file from the web and overwrite the old file?
I have a macros in my spreadsheet when I open it a number in the macros goes up 1 each time the worksheet is opened. I want to put this file on a server that can be accessed by various people. The problem I am getting is every time someone opens it from a different location with a different PC the number starts at 1 again. I want to keep the number going up 1 each time no matter who opens it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a program operating in excel 2007 that extracts a picture from a URL and puts it into a PPT slide. I now discover that PPT 2007 doesn't allow this.
So my intent now is to download the jpg into a local file and then import into the PPT.
This is from a couple of sites:
[url]
[url]
At the top of the code:
Option Explicit
Private Declare Function URLDownloadToFile Lib "urlmon" Alias "URLDownloadToFileA" _
(ByVal pCaller As Long, _
ByVal szURL As String, _
ByVal szFileName As String, _
ByVal dwReserved As Long, _
ByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long
in the excel cell if a URL picture needs to be inserted it starts with the prefix "picture=" then the http address.
This did not work.
So I then copied the code from the websites into a module (changing the destination file and URL to mine of course) and called the procedure and still nothing.
use an address in a cell and http://local.live.com/. i would like to paste an address into http://local.live.com/ from a cell (or concatenation) into the "Where" textbox...?

I have an Excel 2003 application that automatically opens and closes a lot of workbooks. When done with a workbook, I close it with: ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False
On most users' machines, this works well. On one user's machine, the procedure is still asking: " Do you want to save the changes you made to 'filename'? "
at each workbook close. Considering that a typical run might inspect over 2,000 workbooks, this is a problem for the user. Is there a setting that can override "SaveChanges:=False"?. If so, where would I find it, and how would I programmatically turn it on/off?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having a slight problem copying hyperlinks. I have written some code that sorts data by date and then creates a simple diary. It originally placed the name of the event in the new diary sheet. What I would like to do is instead of copying the name into this new sheet copy a hyperlink that I have created to the company's website for that event.
I can create the hyperlink using hyperlink(B1,A1) where A1 is the company name and B1 is the web address but since the new sheet will not have the underlying data I need to actually copy the values and format of the hyperlink rather than the formula.

I have grouping setup in my excel spread sheet.
1. I added pictures(print screen-->mspaint-->cut existing part of the image-->paste into excel. In excel they are called "Pictures 01 thru Picture X" with the pull points all around.
2. I located them in specific cells of the grouped type with the (-) sign appears so the group of cells are in use
3. When I close the Group(+) of cells all the pictures are jumbled above the closed cells.
Question: Is there away to keep these pictures within those cells when closing the group, so they will not been see as well?
