View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a macro that would run once the workbook is opened. This macro would then open another excel file to get updates then close it. Now this file is also being accessed by other persons in the network but just for a split second. Since an opened file would result into an error, what proper codes should I add so that if the file is currently in use, the macro would then run again after 5 seconds and would do the same thing until the file is ready? This is what I have so far. All in the standard module.

updatePath = Worksheets("Entries"). Range("E104")

I am new to the whole MACRO VBA thing and I am desperately trying to learn. So this is the Situation. I recorded a macro of an If statement on a row. very simple. Some of the rows below ( Like 700) need the same formula that I recorded. I would like to highlight the cells that need the formula and run the macro on them. however the macro only runs one at a time. Is there a way that this can be avoided?

If so would 6 requests at the same time slow excel down?
I have a macro which downloads data from website. But takes some more time to complete a work. I want that a time should display at the bottom bar of excel where "Ready" is written. THe time should be in hh.mm.ss format.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI wanted to run a macro at 08:00 each day. I tested the macro would auto start and run, and set the test to start at 13:00.
In the Private module of the Workbook I put
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application .OnTime TimeValue("08:00:00"), "MyMacro"
End Sub
and in a standard module
Sub TestTimeMacro()
Application.OnTime TimeValue("08:00:00"), "MyMacro"
End Sub
Initially I had the TimeValue set as 13:00:00. The test worked OK so I changed the timevalue to 08:00:00.
The macro now runs at 08:00 and 13:00.
How do I stop the 13:00 event?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm opening a workbook and then running the macro in the workbook. The problem is I would like to build a "timeout" feature if the macro is running too long (as some of the macro's this will run can take days to complete) but I don't know how to run the macro asynchronously. Also I need to know if i can get it to run asynchronous is there an event that will tell me when the process is finished. The calling application of the macro is written in VB6 and opening excel workbooks to run the macros out of. also the "timeout" feature must be done from the VB6 application it cannot be edited into the the workbooks containing the macro.

View 7 Replies View RelatedHere is the image 1 after selecting one of element in listbox and then if I click delete material (commandbutton).
It has to delete the select material in sheet 2 and has to cut the element below and move to 1 row above as shown in figure 2.
At the same time it has to delete the entire respective column and remaining column has to be cut and place in column before in sheet 3 as shown in figure 3
For that I had wrote the program which is below
Private Sub CommandButton5_Click()
Dim i, j, k, m, n As Integer
i = ListBox1.ListIndex
j = Sheet2.Cells(1, 39).Value
k = j - i
[Code] ....
When I click the delete commandbutton5 the result is as shown in figure below
In sheet2
In sheet 3
For loop is running only one time after that it got terminated. If I split the 1st for loop and execute it.it is running nice what I meant to do. If I combine another for loop or If I add msgbox at top it misbehaving. I tried with do while loop also it also doing same thing.

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
TextBoxDate.Value = Now
TextBoxDate = Format(TextBoxDate.Value, "dd mmmm yyyy hh:mm:ss")

This is a form to have employees punch in/out. The form is designed to be running all the time. The TextboxDate is disableed so the user can not change it.
I would like to know if it is possible to get the time to be displayed on the form constantly? Right now it only updates when the OK button is pressed on the form.

I wrote a macro that worked for a long time but now a running time error (9) popped out even though the code didn't change at all. If I run the same macro on the same computer but logged on as a different user it runs smoothly. Tried it in other computers and in some of them it will also run in only some of the users but not all.
I'm running Excel 2003 on windows XP, on a pentium 4 PC but found the same in othe computers running Vista.
When I click the debug button the highlighted line is
Workbooks("Detrend").Activate
close to the end of the following code.
1- Open enclosed file.
2- Run Macro1.
3- Wait some time completing running Macro1.
4- Run Macro2.
5- Wait some time completing running Macro2.
6- Look MessageBox to see that what is Macro2 running time. (Note: My Macro2 running time is 06 minutes and 49 seconds)
My question is how can I decrease Macro2 running time ?
I am open all ideas like copy data to NotePad and paste again excel etc.
I have a user form that builds a workbook from one template sheet and information in a SQL Server database. The template sheet contains 4 charts that are copied to every new sheet in the workbook, then their data ranges are set through VBA code. For a while the code was working wonderfully. All the necessary sheets were being generated and correctly populated.
Yesterday I added a new module to generate another sheet and pull data from the same SQL Server tables. Now if I run the userform it will work fine once and create all the needed sheets, and set all the charts to the proper ranges. However, if I delete all the created sheets and run the form again, I get:
Runtime Error '-2147417848 (80010108)'
Automation Error
The Object Invoked has disconnected from its clients
The error consistantly occurs for the following line of Selection.Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Master").Range("D1")
After the error the selected range still shows up as surrounded by a selection box, but if I change sheets, the box moves to the new sheet. Also I cannot select any new cells in the work book. In order to get Excel to work again I have to End Task from the Task Manager just to get it to close. When I restart Excel and go back to my work book I get the same results, i.e. The form works great once, then Excel dies.
I have tried qualifing all of the objects that can be qualified. I have tried setting all possible varriables to Nothing before exiting my macros. Nothing I have tried, or found suggested so far in the forum works.

I have a worksheet using several columns and 100 rows. Column B and column C can contain a value "x" in either coulmn but not both in a specific row. The macro illustrated works perfectly for what I need but there must be a way to point the macro to a range of rows rather than using an "if" statement for each row as I've done.

The macro runs fine, but after that a different workbook becomes active. There are a couple more lines of code after the line above that don't get executed (ive tested this by putting a MsgBox command after it).

Here's what I have so far ...
I was looking at Colo's website for the Application.SendKeys method, http://puremis.net/excel/code/039.shtml ,so that I can speed up a page/print setup macro that I have.
I was partially successful in setting this up, but I did notice that there was no argument number in that method for setting up the "Fit to x Pages Wide" and "y Pages tall".... I really need that functionality....
I saw something here that is supposed to get the zoomfactor : http://groups.google.com/group/micro...8d0?scoring=d& but I can't seem to incorporate it into my code so that it works.
Is there an Argument I can set up to get those?
Here is my code so far:
Sub ElecECNPrint()
Application.SendKeys "{ENTER}", False
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogPageSetup).Show _
Arg1:="", _
Arg2:="", _
Arg3:=0.25, _
Arg4:=0.2, _
Arg5:=0.42, _
Arg6:=0.39, _
Arg11:=xlPortrait, _
Arg12:=xlPaperLetter, _
Arg13:=79, _
Arg17:=600
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
End Sub
I want to change Arg13:=79 to Arg13:= Zoomfactor, but I just ain't cutting it as each page is a different size and I am running this from Personal.xls ....
Is it possible to use a macro that needs parmeters as part of an application.ontime instruction? - I am getting a macro cannot be found error message.
If I change the called macro so that parameters are not required, it is found OK (but obviously isn't doing what I want anymore!).
I reckon it is something to do with the quotations around the macro name
