I've got a listbox (ListBox1) and it lists 5 files. names are One, Two, Three, Four, Five (all .xls) and they're saved in C:/MyFolder
What i want to do, when a user clicks a button, for a code to only open the files that are selected. So for example, the user selects Three.xls and Five.xls - the code would need to ignore the others and open the selected files.
i'm having a problem with a script I have (script is below). What i'm doing is running a script that displays files in a certain folder, those files are then displayed on sheet1 column O and are linked so when they are clicked upon, the file will open. I also have a combo box with a input range of $O$O. That puts the values in column O in the combo box. Now here is a problem and request.
Problem first, when I select the file names from the combo box, they don't open the file, all it does is display the file name in combo box and that's it. how to I get it to open up the file? Now for a request, I have another sheet that is almost exactly as the one i described above. The only thing different I want is when someone clicks on a file name from the combo box, instead of it automatically linking to the file, I want them to click on a button to display the file.

I have a macro that works perfectly to import a text file and parse it. Now i need it to do multiple ones. I import the txt file to a new workbook as i filter for certain data only and if found i copy that to the current workbook. I want to do the same just for many txt files:
[Code] .......
The main file was linked to other files. Instead of using the "edit links" dialogue box provided by Excel, I wish to use a list box. This list box will show all the files that the main file is linked to.
The user will have the the option to single select or multiple select the files.
Upon clicking "ok" it will "open and close" the selected files, thus updating the main file. (it should also remove the update links dialogue box of the source files if they had it, it will be a hassle for the user to click on the "don't update" for every linked file that is open)
I know the update links in Excel is able to do it but the links sometimes will result in errors, beside it doesn't offer multiple selections.
I am trying to write a macro to open a specific file (i.e site 1) and copy a range and paste that data into another workbook (Comparisons).
I can manage to write the macro to do this one by one, but ideally I would like to write some sort of loop macro that will go down a specific range of files (column A), listing the copy range (column B), and where to paste (column C) until it hits a blank row.
That way I do not have to keep re-programming my comparison spreadsheet every time a new site opens.
I am trying to open set of excel files to fetch data starting from a master excel file where the links are given using a loop. Some of files given as links are either absent or the link is wrong.
* What is the syntax to find if the link is correct/present
* What is the syntax to find if the file is present in specified location
* What is the syntax to find if the file is password protected to open
* I use error handler to resume the next statement if OPEN statement fails.It works fine inside the loop only for first two files.
For example if the third link is errorneous the error handler fails and RUN TIME ERROR occurs.
I am using this code to hide or unhide rows of text on another sheet:
VB:
Sub ProcessSheet1ChangeOnCellJ7(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim sAddress As String
Dim sValue As String
'Get the address of the cell that changed without '$' signs
sAddress = Target.Address(False, False)
[Code]....
When the "Not Pursuing" list box option is selected (in cell "J7" or "J8" in Sheet 1) I need to add (or over-write) "Not Pursuing" to the range of cells in column "B" (in the "Tasks" sheet), but only for that particular Goal, meaning a limited range of cells in column "B". If the "Pursuing - Show All Tasks" option is selected for a Goal then these same cells need to be blank so that the appropriate person can enter their name into the cell.
The purpose for adding "Not Pursuing" automatically to these yellow highlighted cells is that it will facilitate filtering of tasks by individual in the "Tasks" sheet..
Again I have tried several times to upload a sample file and am unable to, which I know makes it more difficult to solve. (Is there some common mistake people make? I know it's an allowed format and is very small in file size....)
Code solution can be entered directly beneath:
VB:
If Target.Value = "Not Pursuing" Then
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Tasks").Rows("29:29").EntireRow.Hidden = False
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Tasks").Rows("30:48").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Macro which loops through a number of files and calls the same macro in each of them. Unfortunately when I add "Application.Run..." to the code, it no longer loops through the process and instead stops after updating the first file in the loop. If I remove the "Application.Run..." code and add any other code, the loop works fine and it continues through the process repeating all the steps for each file found.
Why it stops after one file when using "Application.Run..." to call the macros?
NB I have a list of path and file names starting in row 8 of columns A and C. Each file in the list has a macro called UpdateS1 and promoupdate1.

I want to allow users to place files (.jpg, .tif, .pdf, .pps etc) into a network folder and then have my program open each file and display it for 30 seconds then close the file and the application before opening the next file.
1. Set up a loop to get a directory listing of the folder and write the listing to a text file.
2. Open up the text file and get the next filename in it
3. Open the file in the associated application
4. Wait for 30 seconds (or some period of time) and then close the file
5. Repeat steps 2-4
DoIt = 1
While DoIt = 1
Open "C:TempList.txt" for output as #1
Print #1, Files In Folder
Close #1
Open "C:TempList.txt" for input as #2
while not eof(2)
Line input #2, MyFile
Display MyFile on screen
Wait for 30 seconds
Close MyFile and MyApplication that opened it
wend
Close #2
I can get the directory listing just fine with no problems
I can open the files in the associated application just fine with no problems.
with closing the application after 30 seconds or some period of time.
I need some code that will allow me to easily send it a filename and it will know how to close the file and the application that opened it.
I have an Excel application (Excel 2003) which is stored in the default Program Files folder by the Installer; for example: c:program fileszxchello.xls. The problem I am running into is this file opens as Read Only in Vista and this is interfering with the running of the application. There is no problem opening the file normally in Windows XP.
I have been able to narrow down the cause of this to the User Account Control system in Vista - if I turn OFF User Account Control, the Excel file opens normally and my application functions normally. Is there another option to open the Excel file without turning OFF User Account Control because some users may find it unacceptable to turn OFF this security feature. Ofcourse, one option is to install the application in another location, outside the Program Folder, and the file would open normally, but the Packaging Wizard that I am using to package the application does not allow me to install the application in any other location and thus, the application installs in the Program Folder and I am running into this problem of the Exel file opening as Read Only. Is there a way out of this situation where I can open the file normally (not as Read Only)?
I'm trying to open multiple files based on an array of WBnames that are on a 'Dashboard' tab, but I only want to open them if they are not already opened. The code below doesn't seem to check if they are open and just opens everything....

I use it to attempt to open first a QuickBooks file and then an excel workbook.
The Quickbooks file opens fine. The Excel workbook never appears to open but
I do get the full file pathname to my excel workbook returned which I then
parse off to get just the workbook name.
Why would it behave this way? I open both these files manually all the time.
Also, I'm trying to use a filter as follows:
myname = Application.GetOpenFilename("*.QBW")
I get a compile error saying that I'm calling the function wrong.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet with names of students, year groups, subjects and others. My VBA code will analyse student's results, but before I get there I would like the user to be able to select groups of students using listboxes.
Now I have a tonne of variables that I won't bore you with but the main thing I would like to do is to scan through each cell in a range on my spreadsheet and determine if the value of that cell is equal to a selected option in the listbox. This will let me, for example, filter by only Year 10 students, or select to display only Year 9 and 11 students.
I already have the code to scan through each cell:
VB:
'Run through each student and check they match the criteria
For N = 1 To StudentList.ListCount
'Split the first and second names
StudentName = Split(StudentList.List(N - 1))

Essentially, I would like to take the cell "A" & N2 and check to see if it matches one of the selected options in a listbox called "YearList"

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form control listbox, which is populated with filenames from a specific directory. When the user selects an entry I need that text to appear in a cell in the workbook. This is then concatenated with a folder path to open the file to copy and paste some data out into another workbook. I have tried...
Code:
Sub GetWrbkbkname()
Dim strlist As String
strlist = Sheet1.Listbox18.Text
Sheet1.Cells(1, 1) = strlist
End Sub
But receive the method or data member not found error. The cell link property just returns the position in the list! I need the text!!
The only workound I could think of was populating a space in the SS with the directory contents and using the cell link value in a choose function to return the selected workbook name.
I have a listbox on a userform, with multiselect set to 2 (Multiselect extended). When the listbox is displayed for the first time, no elements are selected. At a certain point in this application, I want to get back to the original state and deselect all items.
I do that with the statement Listbox1.listindex=-1. I hope that is the right thing to do. However, the elements that originally were selected are still blue-coloured, like they became when the user selected them. How do I do to make them look deselected?
It also seems to me that the array Listbox1.selected(x) still holds the value "true" for elements that were selected. Is it so that in addition to say listbox1.listindex=-1, you have to loop through the elements in listbox1 and set all of them to false?
I have a couple of listboxes and use the mouseup event to do stuff with the row that's clicked.

Is there another way?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with roughly 25 sheets, each sheet represents a customer. Each month, I want to be able to run a macro in the workbook that will produce a UserForm containing a Listbox of each unhidden customer (worksheet) in the workbook. After I select all of some of the customers, hit a "process" button which will run a macro on each of the selected customers from the UserForm one worksheet at a time.
I currently have code written to produce the UserForm and populate the list, but I am uncertain how to write the code for the "process" button to run the macro on each selected customers one at a time. All I know how to do is have excel select all the chosen customer worksheets all at once.

Additionally....code to reset the selected items from the listbox.
It seems that when reloading a listbox (in my case in ppt, but triggered from vba in excel) the ppt application (office 2010) was not highlighting the selected row in the listbox, and was infact also losing the selected row information when the item lost focus.
indication in excel that new data is to be displayed
triggers macro in ppt to fetch data and update:-
1. select the userform and listbox
2. fetch the data from excel worksheet range into a local array
3. save locally the current selected index in the listbox
4. reload the data into the listbox and adjust column widths
5. relocate the old selected item, and set the new selected index

So in summary, if you get problems with listbox selected items not being highlighted, double check you are not re-defining column widths after loading the data into the list.....
