I'm looking to create a macro that launches a dialog box upon file launch. Based on the input, I want excel to only show the tab which corresponds to the dialog box entry.
For example, if it asks "What is your name?" on file launch and I respond "Alex"; i want the tab labeled "Alex" to only be shown for the user.
Back in IE8, when you tried to download a file, it'd pop up a little box asking if you wanted to download or save the file. Macros in Excel could work through it using code like 'hWnd = FindWindow("#32770", "File Download")' to get the box and interact with it.
IE11 now has an obnoxious little ribbon that appears at the bottom of the window instead of the box, so FindWindow comes up blank.
There are a number of files including .xls, xlsx, and .csv, and there isn't a static link directly to the files, so I can't just put the link in workbooks.open. Also, to get some of the files, there are logins and forms to fill in with dates and the like. I can get through all of that stuff and click the button to download, but it's that open/close button that's stumped me.
Any way to get an Excel macro to interact with that Open/Save ribbon in IE11?
The VBA shell command is as follows:
programPath = "C:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe" ' works
'programPath = "iexplore.exe" ' does not work
Shell programPath + " " + fileToLaunch, vbNormalFocus
but the drawback is that the invoked program (iexplore.exe, at least in my case) needs to have the FULL PATH to where the program exists = the "C:Program FilesInternet Explorer" which may or may not work on someone elses computer. This hardcoding will not work and is not transportable.
Is there a trick to find where the executing program lives? or launching it without the path?
I want to know if it is possible to launch a blank notepad from an existing excel spreadsheet and then type relevant "history notes" into notepad and save.
I am creating a manual spreadsheet for the company I am working for which is being used for Maintenance Planning / Scheduling and creating of work orders. Once the work order has been raised and the job has been completed it then needs to be closed out on the spreadsheet and any relevant notes entered in. I am hoping to be able to have a link that opens notepad by the click of a button within the spreadsheet and it allows the user to record any notes against that work order and save. These notes can then viewed by future users.
Consider this procedure to execute a MS Word mailmerge from within Excel:
Code:
Option Explicit
Dim objword As Object
Dim odoc As Object
Dim odoc2 As Object
Dim wdsendtonewdocument As Object
Dim mypath As String
Sub merge()
[Code] ........
The application hangs on the line in red. The file name (worksheets("Frontpage").Range("B15")) exists. It hangs with periodic dialogues "Microsoft Office is waiting for another application to complete an OLE action."
I end up having to go into task manager to close the word application before I can regain Excel control again.
I have a word docx embedded within my spreadsheet .
Both are on Office 2010 versions and I have named the embedded word doc
docx = CCPBlank (named range)
sheet = Support Data
I want to open the word doc from within the spreadsheet from a user form I already have created for other module calls.
Any simple VBA code to open the embedded docx?
I have looked a previous posts and not sure they are suitable. I have embedded the docx as I want to ensure only that empty version is opened each time. It also means I only have to send one file (xlsm).

complete the attached code (Excel VBA) to automatically process a File Download dialog from Internet Explorer. I want to click "Save" which will produce the "Save As" dialog. Then I need to enter a default filename like (C:Temp) and click "Save" again. When this is working, I will hide Internet Explorer to make the operation completely transparent to the user. The URL is a sample chosen specifically for this test case.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using the following code to allow the user to select files to open. I have realised that you can create multiple filters with the msoFileDialogFilePicker command, which is very useful, since the program initalliy takes multiple text files, loads them into a workbook as seperate sheets and then saves the workbook as an excel file. Therefore I would like the user to be able to select the text files to load but also to be able to check if the corresponding excel file already exists and if so to be able to directly open this rather than have to create a new file from the text files. Therefore my question is: Is there a way to be able to tell which filter was in use when the file was selected?
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With fd
.AllowMultiSelect = True
.Filters.Clear
.Filters.Add "Excel Files", "*.xls"
.Filters.Add "Text Files", "*.txt"

To have other users open a workbook on the network without having to click button to open it as read only.
I have been trying to get rid of the "File In Use" message for the other users since they only need a read only copy. I am the only one who needs to know if it is in use because I will make changes to the workbook tools and have to save them.
I have set the Save As preferences so that it requires a password for modification and checked the read only checkbox. But that dialog box is popping up for the users. I am trying to eliminate any file in use dialog box for users other than myself.
