I have been getting this '5' error a lot lately and I dont know why. Many of my macros have had this error. Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument. The offending (Highlited in Red)
View 3 RepliesI have a VBA macro for automatically create a word report using data in Access and Excel. The macro is hosted within a Excel document but are using both Word-, Excel and Access objects/dataTtemplates for the creation.
The errors appears what it seems randomly. The macro iterates the same code a few times even in Office 365 but then it crashes. The most common error messages are:
Error 1:
Run-time error '-2147417851 (80010105)':
Automation error : The server threw an exception.
Error 2:
Run-time error '462':
The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable
Error 3:
This action cannot be completed because the application () is busy. Choose Switch To to activate and correct the problem.
(no options are working, this hang the application)
If I debug usually the error originates from the code where I ether close the workbook template I'm using:
excelWorkbook.Close False
... or when I paste a chart from Excel to the Word report:
wordDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection.PasteSpecial
Even more strange are that sometimes if I continue to run the macro its all working again. This ONLY happens when the client office installation is O365. Office 2013 works just fine. I thought O365 and Office 2013 was fairly equal?

I delete sheet1, copy sheet3, rename to sheet1 and then attempt to rename the CodeName to Sheet1 as well.
This worked initially with out errors.
Now on the first run of the macro it generates an error:
Run-time error '32813':
Method 'name' of object '_VBComponent' failed
This fails to rename the CodeName of "Sheet1" (.Name)
Run it again and it renames the CodeName but generates yet another error:
Run-time error '-2147221080 (800401a8)':
automation error
I have the following issue and hope someone can help:
I'm setting a conditional formatting formula in a range of about 2000 cells using VBA.
The procedure works fine on my PC, but generates "runtime error 5" on all of my colleagues PC's. (We all use the same version of Excel 2003).

Why this error is coming up on a macro. Now to what I'm trying to accomplish is I have 1 sheet called GDL and I want to pull certain data from that sheet into another sheet called data sheet. I have formulas set in the data sheet to pull the information I want. However, I want to create a macro to pull the data for those formula or I guess another way of looking at it would be a auto fill function, except with a macro button. Please see the following error I receive when trying to run the macro.
Run-time error '1004': Autofill method of range class failed. The following is the macro.

I use a Macro that when run, will generate an email with the excel sheet attached. See attached example.
My two questions are:
- Is it possible for the body of the email that is generated to have spaces within the text? So it shows more like the below:
"Good morning,
Please find today's forecast for Friday, May 07, 2010 attached.
FRC Treasury Team"
- Also, the colors in the spreadsheet change automatically when the macro attaches the sheet. Why is this? Is it possible to do something so that this does not happen?
I have a cell that is data validated via a list. Currently it contains the entire list of options (Office Names) that I want to be included. However, I am trying to use passwords that I will assign to users (Office Managers) that will allow them to only select their offices from the list. I struggle with VBA so any help would be appreciated!
I use a macro that automatically generates a pivot table, re-formats the data, and then makes sure there are no blanks and that the DATA area of the pivot table is set to SUM OF and not COUNT OF.
It was working just fine yesterday but today it is giving me the following error and is highlighting this section of my
In Excel I've declared an array outside of any sub or function.
Dim programList() As String
Now I want to use that array, populating and depopulating as needed by calling these subs from elsewhere:
Sub addProgramToArray(ByVal x As String)
' Adds worksheet names to an array for use with adjusting program lengths
If IsArray(programList) Then
thisCount = UBound(programList)
End If
Redim Preserve programList(thisCount + 1)
programList(thisCount) = x
End Sub
Sub removeProgramFromArray(ByVal x As String)
' Removes worksheet names from array, for use with adjusting program lengths
' We do this without resorting the array
If IsArray(programList) Then
For i = 0 To UBound(programList) - 1
If programList(i) = x Then
programList(i) = ""
End If
Next
End If
End Sub
But when run it generates an Error 9 Subscript Out of Range error on the addProgram or removeProgram subs. I suspect it might be the ubound on an empty array, or the fact that I'm trying to use an array I declared outside of the subs.
Scenario: I have 5 different tables, all having the same headers. The values under are Vlookups.
Objective: Create a dropbox that lists (Table 1, Table 2, etc.) For whichever table is picked, is the one that will show.
For example, if I want table 1 to populate, I would chose table one in the drop box and so on for the rest of the other tables.
I am trying to design a generator in excel that generates algebraic expressions.
For example
In cell B4 the formula is RANDBETWEEN(1,12)
In cells C4:29 I have letters a - z listed in a column one letter per cell.
In a separate cell from which excel reads is the formula:
=B4&CHOOSE((RANDBETWEEN(1,26)),$C$4,$C$5,$C$7,$C$6,$C$8,$C$9,$C$10,$C$11,$C$12,$C$13,$C$14,
$C$15,$C$16,$C$17,$C$18,$C$19,$C$20,$C$21,$C$22,$C$23,$C$24,$C$25,$C$26,$C$27,$C$28,$C$29)
For example one possible result would be 3f.
However if the result was 1m, in a separate cell I want excel to realise that B4=1 and then display it as m.
I've attached the spreadsheet as well : algebra.xlsx
I have some code that, although works fine in Excel 2003, does not in Excel 1997. I receive this error when I try running it:
COMPILE ERROR:

Sub HPVAL()
Dim r As Range, myStr As String
myStr = "HP"
Set r = Cells. Find(What:=myStr, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _

False, SearchFormat:=False)
If Not r Is Nothing Then
r = r.Value
While Not r Is Nothing
Set r = Cells.FindNext(r)
If Not r Is Nothing Then
r = r.Value
End If
Wend
End If
End Sub
It looks like Excel is getting hung up on the "SearchFormat:=" portion of the code.
VB:
Selection.FormulaArray = _

I have a macro (see code below) that goes down a range of data and merges duplicate cell values for me. However, sometimes when I run the macro, I'm getting the dreaded pop up that says Visual Basic with a big red X and "400".
This seems to be an issue of the length of data; if I'm only doing a small amount of rows it will work, but the larger it gets then I get an error. how to edit so I can run it down hundreds of rows of data?
Sub GroupDown()
Dim varData As Variant, varContent As Variant
Dim strMyRange As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
strMyRange = ActiveCell.Address
varContent = ActiveCell.Value

This file connects to a weather API. The laptop I am using connects through a VPN connection. For some reason whenever I am on the VPN if I try to refresh the information I will get an error and the macro will fault out. Other than that the macro works perfectly fine.
Attached is the file in question : Weather Forecast Spreadsheet Draft V12.xlsm

How can I place in an error management instead of the code just getting blocked out.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a bug on a macro that was working until yesterday. I did not write this macro and I cannot seem to fix it. The debug stops at the below command. The data it looks at seems to be in the right format so I think there is something else that is wrong.
Set PTCache = ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:=PRange)
Sub asdf()
Dim c As Range
Dim x As Long
Dim y As Integer
Set c = Columns("A:B"). Find(" Total", lookat:=xlWhole)
x = c.Row
For y = 15 To 4 Step -1
If Cells(x, y) = 0 Then Columns(y).Delete
Next y
End Sub
However, it errors out at
x = c.Row
Saying "object variable or With block variable not set"
I have xl2000. Could this be the problem?
With the code I'm trying to locate my "Total" row. Then delete all columns from D:O with a value of zero. An example sheet is supplied at the link.
Re my last I have tried this macro but it comes up with a subscript error.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = xlVeryHidden

The sheet name is Sheet1(Main Data Entry) and the Workbook is called 'This Workbook".
I downloaded an excel file from a German student's site. With this file, it is possible to calculate very simply species turnover (I'm a biologist) activating a macro. When I run it, afetr answering lots of questions (which I think I answer well), it appears an "error run-time 9 - subscript out of range". In the download folder there were only two files: turnover.xls and instructions.pdf
Here is the code. The debug highlights the bold line.

I have a worksheet with several option buttons and until yesterday, I had no problem selecting them. But today, every time, I select a radio button, an error shows up stating "Cannot run Macro "Option Button_click. Macro is not available in this workbook or is disabled". When the user selects a radio button, text appears in Col B depending on what button was selected (using VLOOKUP). That stuff is still working fine. It's just as soon as I click a radio button, the error shows up.
Based on the radio button selected, user can add in information to the columns adjacent to it, and then click a button to store that information in some rows below. The code for that button is stored in the sheet module. I have tried enabling macros and disabling macros and no change has appeared. What I have noticed though is that yesterday, when i opened the workbook, a yellow bar appeared asking if I wanted to "Enable Content". Today, that bar didn't appear.
I have a macro in one file which uses an input box where the user types in a subcontractor code to retrieve address and contact details from another file.
If the user inputs the incorrect subcontractor code, an error message box pops up. Currently the user then has to select a button in the original file to restart the macro at the input box stage.
What I want to happen is when ok is selected on the error message, to return to the input box so in my macro below where the error message says "An error occurred - you asked for a subcontractor that does not exist. Please try again." and the user selects OK, I would like it to return to the 'Enter the Subcontractor line and the "Please enter the Subcontractor code" input box reappears.
I cant seem to figure out why the macro in this workbook quits working after any error.
I can Break from the error but then the macro ceases to function at all. I am forced to close the workbook and re-open it.
FYI
This macro writes to the registry. Simple text values only.
Example: Retrieving data. Its currently generic in format.
"sLogin" is a user entered name
"TargetValue" is a selected cell value (activecell).
