I use the Hyperlink to open PDF files that are on the CD drive from my spreadsheet. I am on Windows XP and the CD drive is the D drive. In Vista the CD drive is the E drive.
When I take the spreadsheet to a Vista machine the link fails as there is no D drive.
Is there any to code the path of the Hyperlink so it will go to th default CD drive for that computer.
I made an excel sheet that links to other sheets on a different drive. It works while I am making it, but upon save and reopen all the hyperlinks produce this error: The address of this site is not valid. Check the address and try again.

I have hyperlinks betwene one worksheet to another - they only only hyperlinked thourh column & rows (eg: A100) etc. How can I lock these hyperlinks but still allow users to insert new rows without losing their place?
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 am busy writing projects and the macros that I write reference external files (no surprise there). Normally, all referenced files are on the company's main G: drive but recently the company have started the process of re-appraising all access authorities for the folders in the G: drive. This has necessitated that they create a new drive (called J:) and folders and users are being migrated over there as they have been cleaned and approved.
All of this means that some of my users reference J: and some G: and my macros are intermittently falling over because of it. For each user, all the files that they will need will be on either the J: or the G: drive, but not both.
All of the above leads me to ask the following question... How can I build into the macros a "Check what drive you're on and use that letter" line of code
Currently I am using this ......
View 9 Replies View RelatedWe have a form that is completed by our employees and emailed to a central group email address that up to 8 employees within our team can access. When one of our 8 team members open the file sent they need to add comments to it and then save it in a central directory on one of our network drives.
Now the problem I have is that we all have the network drive mapped to a different letter.
Is there a way that I can have a macro (see below for current macro that does not work) save to a network path and not a drive letter.
I have a an excel workbook that is distributed on a flash drive. Currently a Save As Macro copies "A1" as the file name and then opens a screen to allows the user to save that filename to a location that the user selects. What I would like to have happen is for a command button to start a macro that would automatically save the file back to the flash drive that the master workbook is located.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a program that relies on a remote drive being open and ready. My current tactic (which works perfectly well) is to have a file in the destination drive and ask the date that file was created. If an error occurs I know the destination drive is not ready.
Code:
On Error Resume Next
temp = FileDateTime(destDrive & "xDeletedStuff" & "testFile.txt")
If Err Then
MsgBox "Destination Drive / Folder Not Ready"
Exit Sub
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Idealy I would rather not use the "testFile" I would prefer to just test to see if the folder existed, "destDrive & "xDeletedStuff"

I am trying to get a excel to list all the file names in a drive along with date last modified, author and file size. I have got the following bit of code to pull back the file names, but i am struggling to find anything that will pull back the other data, I think its something to do with the DIR function, but im not sure........
Range("B1").Select
D = ActiveCell
Cells(2, 1) = "Filenames"
r = 3
f = Dir(D, 7)
Do While f ""
Cells(r, 1) = f
r = r + 1
f = Dir
Loop
End Sub
where "B1" is the file path of the drive
I want to create and add-in that will allow a user to select a file (using the in built dialog boxes), the file will then be copied across the network to another server to which the user doesn't have access - I do have access so would hard code in the appropriate username and password in to the script.
The way I had done this before was to look through the users mapped drive to find a free one, map the network drive connecting as myself, save the file and then disconnect the drive.
I am able to map and disconnect the drive, but can't work out how to find an empty drive to use (thus preventing me from overwriting any mappings they may already have).

Set drive = oFSO.GetDrive("C:")

I have many macro functions that may refer to "P:My documentsTrucks 2008filename"
However this workstation sees that drive as "T:Trucks 2008filename" and the macro will either not function or cannot find the location to save a copy of action in question.
Can I code an option that will "If filepath not found" ie "P:" go to "T:" etc
I have a file which is kept on the C Drive. Each day, a different excel file is downloaded to a usb memory stick. The first file reads data from this file. The problem is, the drive letter keeps changing from E to F and the macro then crashes out.
The file on the memory stick always has the same name, so is there a macro to find the drive letter of this file and then use it in my existing macro?

The same situation occurs with cell Z8 as well. It appears it is looking in the wrong location. If I change the E to a C in the formula bar it fixes the issue but I cannot rely on my users to do this every time. We keep the WB's in question on an external drive and pass it around as needed. So they will run into this problem on a regular basis.
I also get a "Security Warning - Automatic update of Links has been disabled" message only when run from the USB drive.
I'm trying to make it so that a backup copy of my file is written to floppy when the file is saved (but not with SaveAs). So far, I have the following code, which if the floppy is in the drive works fine, and doesn't error out if the disk is not in the drive. But it doesn't make sure that a backup copy actually got made. How would I check to see if the disk is in the drive and loop somehow until it was so that the file got saved to floppy?
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
On Error Resume Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
If Not (SaveAsUI) Then
MsgBox "Please Insert Floppy Disk in Drive A:"

I have a problem that I have several workbooks that are getting more widely used by a number of users and I'm starting to encounter problems. The workbooks open files from particlaur locations to retrieve information but I am finding that not everyone has the same drive letter for the same server or shared drive.
For example Server607 could be drive J: for me but drive N: for people in another department. Is there a way to refer to the server location in VBA when opening files rather than the drive path?

Need macro that automate our QC department. What the macro does is it looks up the item number based on the barcode that the scanner reads and brings up the item number, the item description, total of units in a case, how much a single box of the item will weigh and how many units in the inner box may be sold at one time. The trouble is that not all items have an image available so that the person who is doing the checking knows what the item looks like.
There is a Logitech webcam setup to take pictures of the items. The following code allows us to import the image of the item into excel in a given cell:
I ran across a great article on performing Drive Time Calculations between two addresses. The only problem is that I can not seem to get it to work properly. Here is a link to the article cause I want full credit to be given to the person that created it.

Here are the steps I have taken so far.
1. Downloaded Microsoft Internet Transfer Control reference (msinet.ocx) per [URL]
2. Registered the msinet.ocx
3. Selected Microsoft Internet Transfer Control as a Reference in Visual Basic.
4. Copied the custom function for DriveTime into a module.
5. Went to sheet that contained addresses (Column A contains PointA, Column B contains PointB)
6. In C2 I entered the formula =DriveTime(A2,B2)
7. After entering the formula I get a error (#VALUE)
I need code to print a file located in my C drive.
