I am wirking on a macro which opens a 'sourcefile' and then do some filtering and vlookuping to distribute the data to several files. When i run the macro from the VBA editor, everything runs fine. But if i run it from .xls file, the macro stops after opening the 'sourcefile'
Workbooks.Open Filename:=sourcefile
For i = 0 To 13

I am a novice at excel macro programming. My Excel 2000 macro inexplicably stops after the line: Workbooks.Open Filename:=stAddrFullname, ReadOnly:=True
1) I know that the remainder of the code is not executed because a breakpoint on the following line is never reached.
2) I know that this line is executed because the stAddrFullname workbook is clearly opened and is displayed when the code stops prematurely.
3) No error message is displayed and I have no 'OnError' instructions in the code.
4) (This is the bit I really don't understand). If I put a Breakpoint in the macro anywhere in the function preceding the "Workbooks.Open" statement, the macro reaches the Breakpoint and then runs through to completion with no problem. When I remove the breakpoint, it reverts to stopping as soon as it has opened the Workbook.
5) The stAddrFullname workbook has no macros in it.
I'm looking for a command for a macro, haven't been able to find it thus far. Is it possible to get excel to open a .txt for example, and copy its contents into excel at an activecell?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm using a macro to open an other excel file to get data from it. this goes by Workbooks.Open Filename:=totalopen (totalopen =Filepath & filename earlier defined) Because the opening file can have the same filename, my question; is it possible to open the latest/newest saved file? So also look at the saving date/time of opening excel file.

I was wondering if there is a way to open up a given program (notepad in my example) ..paste data from cells copied in excel and save the notepad file to a specific location and close it out??
The file path will be given from a data cell in excel as well as the file name.
From searching the forums i've come up with the way to open notepad
using the lines
Dim RetVal As Variant
RetVal = Shell("C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32
otepad.exe")
I have a user form with a TextBox (TextBox1), the user enters a filename and presses CommandButton1, this then opens the file. I have set an error trap so that if the file does not exist a MsgBox prompts the user to re-enter. So far so good, however if the error trap operates any further files entered are declared as non-existent even if I know they exist. I thought this would be quite easy but once again VBA bites me back!!
here is my code
Sub CommandButton1_Click()
stPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
stFilename = "Retention" & "" & TextBox1 & ".xls"
stFullname = stPath & "" & stFilename 'completes full path of for TextBox1
On Error Goto Errorhandler: 'go to this if file does not exist
Workbooks.Open stFullname
ActiveWorkbook.RunAutoMacros xlAutoOpen
Code to save a file C:DesktopFile.xls to a different path say F:New.xls as a backup.
I want this to happen every 1 hour so that if in case my original sheet File.xls is corrupted or deleted, I have a backup data (New.xls) which was last saved.
And also File.xls need not be necessarily open.
I have a need to open a file from my companies intranet. My current method was to open said file via the method that the recorder gave me. However, I would like ot be able to open a said file without having to start open another workbook.
This is the path:
[url]
So the command is this:
Workbooks.Open [url]
Links are not actual links
So what I need to know. Is how can I open this file without opening a workbook. I haven't been able to use the VB "Open Statement" to open a file and I don't believe that I've been successfull using the Filesystem object either.
loop and range function to apply in the below code through which I can avoid writing code for all the rows.
I am trying to open excel files located in single folder from files name (along with the path) in single worksheet (Column B and Row 1 to 500).

I have a file that I save with a new version number each time I make major changes. The file name currently is: "Telephony Equipment Inventory v26 (Summary).xlsm". The "26" is the variable number. give me the vba code to ensure I open the file with the highest version number?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHere in our department we made a pretty elaborate macro that takes a report and sorts them out to 17 different sheets in a one workbook. This Macro pulls a file from a specific location on our server and then opens the CSV sorts it out color codes all the important information and saves it back onto the server under you specific initials.
They are four PC's along with our Managers laptop that run this Macro daily.
About 3 weeks ago my Managers laptop stops running the Macro completely and hangs in the middle of the whole thing. Eventually crashing Excel.
We try to remove the modules and re-import them back into the personal macro workbork but this does not work. The Macro's did not change and still fully function on the other four desktops to this day.
I uninstall Office on my Managers laptop and reinstall. Import the Modules again and still hangs up in very same spot it did 3 weeks ago.
I've tried to lower the macro security to the lowest level also and I've still had no luck with this laptop. I don't understand. The Macro's function perfectly on other PC's but will not function on this laptop.
The macro stops in the last row - it isn't able to select a cell in another sheet than "Menu" (I tested it different variations).
View 9 Replies View Relatedi ran some tests and it was working good only doing folders with ~100 files. i tried running the macro on all the files (~70,000), but I ran into problems with the computer going into standby while I was away. I tried running a batch of 3000 files and it completed, but only got up to around ~400 out of ~3000 records. Maybe, it stops cause of code related inefficiencies?

I have this macro which sits in the workbook module:
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Static OldRng As Range
On Error Resume Next
If Application.CutCopyMode = xlCopy Or Application.CutCopyMode = xlCut Then
OldRng.EntireColumn.FormatConditions(1).Delete
OldRng.EntireRow.FormatConditions(1).Delete
[Code] .......
It's used to highlight the selected/active row.
But, as soon as I run another macro, it simply stops working entirely and I'm left with a row permanently highlighted until you manually remove the conditional formatting. All formats and cell colours controlled in the other macro stop working as well. This is the other (edited for publishing) macro, which is used to send an email, and is found in a module:
Code:
Sub Send_Mail()
'this sends an email that sends a text message
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim MyButton As String
Dim strTo As String
[Code] .......
I didn't write the first macro so I'm not sure where the problem is? I'm guessing there is something in the code that is stopping it from working (i.e. running conditional formats) as soon as another macro is run? Is that was is happening?
I have a macro stored a module at Personel workbook and i am using personel workbook as a hidden one. when i assign a shortcut below macro it is not working but whrn i am press F5 at VBA Editor it is working.

I have a problem with the following code
Dim strProcLine As String
With ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents(ActiveChart.CodeName).CodeModule
' MsgBox ok
' adaugat procedura goala
.CreateEventProc "Calculate", "Chart"
'MsgBox ok
strProcLine = "Format_Chart"
' MsgBox ok
.InsertLines .ProcBodyLine("Chart_Calculate", 0) + 1, strProcLine
' MsgBox ok
End With
' MsgBox ok
This is part of a larger macro, wich makes 2 pivottables and for each PT a chart, and for each chart i create an even procedure (Chart_Activate) wich calls a procedure to format the chart. Tha macro is alocated to the click even on a button in the sheet where i get the information from.
If i run the macro(click the button) with Microsoft Visual Basic Editor opened all goes ok. But if i close Microsoft Visual Basic Editor and then run the macro it stops right before .CreateEventProc "Calculate", "Chart" of the first chart , and i can't understand why. No error mesages delivered, nothing.
Problem with the attached Range Overrun.xlsm.
Form opens with set number of rows. End User then enters figure into C3 of how many row are to be added.
VB:
Option Explicit
Dim c As Range
Dim j As Integer
[Code]....
Macro works correctly by adding the number of rows listed in C3. It SHOULD then "name " various cells in the original and new rows.
BUT the Macro goes ON to name cells in rows BELOW the ones that are added.
So on the attached worksheet the original rows were 6 - 9. Rows 10 - 12 were added, but the macro names the cells from Rows 6 - 14.
i have a worksheet named for example 'allocation 1' this is a master document and is opened and modified and 'saved as' under a customer name. This then stops a few important macros working properly because they refer to the original title and not the new saved title. Is there any code that will let the macro recognise any new title it is saved under?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI want to make the worksheet protected, however, when I protect the worksheet the macro will not run.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've had a macro running for ages, and just found it bugs out when there are spaces in a sheet name.
The user selects a destination cell as part of a form, which passes the variable to the following steps:
Code:
looperx = 0
Do
looperx = looperx + 1
Loop Until Mid(celldestinationstring, looperx, 1) = "!"
Sheets(Left(celldestinationstring, looperx - 1)).Select
The purpose of which is to isolate the sheet name from the cell reference, which is typically like: 'Bob Sheet'!$B$9
This works fine where there are no spaces, but 'dies' with a runtime error when there are. With the apostrophes I assumed it would work around spaces in the string but I can't get it to work.
Here is the find / replace vba I am using.
Sub Replace()
Cells.Replace What:=Chr(19), Replacement:="-", LookAt:=xlPart
Cells.Replace What:=Chr(24), Replacement:="'", LookAt:=xlPart
Cells.Replace What:=Chr(145), Replacement:="'", LookAt:=xlPart
Cells.Replace What:=Chr(146), Replacement:="'", LookAt:=xlPart
Cells.Replace What:=Chr(160), Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart
End Sub
It makes the replacements up to line 37, then stops. If you then delete the first 37 rows and re-run the macro, it again performs replacements, but only on the next 37 rows.
I would like the macro to do the whole sheet...
Can't run vba macro. I have the following problem with a macro in excel. i wrote it, the macro runs very good from excel /tool/macro/macros/run, i also put a button on toolbar -it works too, i want to assign a keyboard shortcut from tool/macro/macros/options / shortcut and THE MACRO RUN INCOMPLETELY (stops running ).
Actually the macro opens all files in a specific folder, and delete their codes as follows:
Sub delete()
Const strNotFound As String = "There is NO Excel files..."
Dim ffTmp As FoundFiles
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim objVbc As Object
Dim objFile As Variant
Dim lngRet As Long
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

.NewSearch
.LookIn = "C:Corectii\_CS"
.SearchSubFolders = True
.FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks...............
In the last week the following code has ceased to work, and I do not know why:
If TradeShow = True Then
ReportFile = " ANALYSIS PRINT (CS+T) MASTER.xls"
Else
ReportFile = "ANALYSIS PRINT (CS ONLY) MASTER.xls"
End If
Workbooks.Open Filename:=ReportFile, ReadOnly:=True
Worksheets("TRANSFER DATA").Select
PriceFile = "PRICE COMPARISON.xls"
The Workbooks.Open command executes, and the screen shows the cells of the new spreadsheet. Nothing else happens, and the cursor is sensitive to operator control, showing that Macro control has been lost. I have inserted a test 'MsgBox' after the .Open command, and not even that is executed - so I am certain that the .Open is in some way wiping out the Macro.
I have a macro that that stops every time I’m trying to delete the sheet. I get this message. “Data may exist in the sheet(s) selected for deletion. To permanently delete the data, prese Delete.” and I have to manually click “delete” to continue running the macro. How can I avoid this stop so that macro runs thru it without stops?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Macro that changes the background colour cells dependant on the value in another cell, all seems ok but when it runs it scrolls the page as it shades the cells and then exits leaving the sheet where it scrolled to.

I have been working on some Macros. I am compiling a macro that runs other macros. I have two noticeable problems.
1 - My SaveAs macro runs fine by itself. But when called or ran by another macro, (which calls more than one macro) the SaveAs macro it stops.
2- Many of my macros, when ran by another macro (which runs more than one macro) cycles through twice.
My specific question is about no. 2 and the following are the individual macros and the macro that runs them.
I have built a small userform with 3 fields. The macro ran OK first few times. Now, when user enters data in the form and clicks OK nothing happens. I found that repeated clicking on OK or Cancel button on form had no effect. I then observed that VBA editor was open and the yellow cursor was displayed on the first code line under cmdOK_click procedure. The code line was also highlighted in yellow. There are no errors to debug and no break points etc. When I clicked the Run (or Continue) icon from the VBA toolbar, the macro completed OK. Question: Why is the macro pausing on the first line and how can I make it run without pausing for no apparent reason.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhenever I try to use Sheets("Volumes").Select or .Activate on a specific worksheet, my macro code will immediately terminate with no error message. Iv'e used F8 to step through several modules and found that this happens every time it hits that line. The wierd thing is that i can select this sheet when screenupdating is off and I select it from a called subroutine. No other worksheets in this workbook are having this problem.
Additional info : using Sheet1.Select will select it with no issues but I don't want to go this route since it's a workaround and not a solution to somthing that should work.This problem occurs in several modulesEverything used to work fine and just one day it decided that i couldn't select the "Volumes" sheet in VBA anymore.I can click on the sheet no problem and it is not protected or hidden.
I have the following code (that I borrowed) and was using it to export some worksheets to a new workbook. It worked fine for about 4 times, now it says it can't find the file path and stops on the "MkDir FolderName" line.
