This is probably quite trivial but I really need to know how to call up the standard folder browser from my VBA macro in Excel (and obviously return the selected path to a variable). I'm running windows XP by the way
View 5 RepliesI am using this code to make a new folder however if the folder already exists it gives me an Error 75.

I have a file which extracts employee entries when you put the employee code. Have created a form to show the progress % and estimated time for search.
In this form i have added a animation .gif file and it runs fine on my PC but not on any other PC as the .gif file is store on my desktop.
I want to store this .gif file on the workbook and any way i can set a path for the program to pick up the .gif file from the same excel workbook.

View 5 Replies View Relatedi have a sheet that autogenerates a .csv file and uploads it into a webform. In order to do this I have to open an Internet Explorer window go to webpage and use the sendkye function, my code looks like this:
Dim ie As Object
Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.Visible = True
ie.Navigate "http://uploadsite/upload.form"
'Check connection til web loop!
Do
If ie.ReadyState = 4 Then
ie.Visible = False
Exit Do
Else
DoEvents
End If
Loop
if I instead could EMBED the webbrowser into my sheet and then go to the upload site and upload the file directly from the sheet. I have some basic vba skills, but I have never worked with the embedded objects.
I wondered if it would be possible to copy the url from the active page from my browser into Excel using VBA (using a private sub). Something like:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim url As String
'url = the url from my active tab in my browser
If Target.Column = 1 And Not IsEmpty(Target) Then
Target.Offset(, 1).Value = url
End If
End Sub
where e.g. the active url in my browser is http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=10.

I'm relatively new to macro's. I have an excel workbook that draws information from an exported file from a website. When I do this I get an IE window open which is of variable name depending on the information I picked on the website. I am trying to create a macro that will close this new window on importing but leave the original website window where it is. The name is variable but has the same format e.g. "http://batch+report+info....." with the later address changing depending on the info selected. I tried using a an " If name.like" formula but am too new to macro's to know how to implement it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with copying numbers from web browser to excel.
For example I want to copy number 2013072210000117 but Excel displays it like this 2013072210000110. I tried to change Cell formatting but no success.
Is there a way to take a column of numbers, say UPC numbers, and break out each number separately to paste into a browser window for a web search?
Would this require a macro?
I am aware that what I am hoping to do may well be impossible because it is possibly application-dependent.
Anyway, I wanted a piece of code that would allow me to open a default browser window from an Excel Macro.
Google turned up the following solution from here [URL] .....

This seems to work just fine.
What I want to do now, however, is something like this:

Is it even possible to write the two hypothetical functions described above?
In addition, I notice that they example given in the link that I posted also suggests ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink. This seems to work just as well, without needing the ShellExecute prototype. Is there any way that I can get a "handle" for the window that was opened with FollowHyperlink and re-focus on that window?

I'm looking to have an excell file shared on a windows network to a simple LAN (samba sharing), and then for a user to be able to click on a HTML link that will launch that excell pile, and to have it populate specific and predeterminined cells with information that will be handed to it by the HTML link from the website.
Think of a CRM web app that href is a link like: "LAN1Filesexcellbook01.xls?Mrs%20Wendy%20Jones?4%20Skin%20Street"
From something like that I would like to launch excell and have Mrs Jones' details populate into the predefined excell sheet. The HTML website can dynamically populate a HTML link depending on the customer being viewed.
So I'd like to know how two things
1) How to launch a network file in this way, while correctly handing it parameters or switched that it will be able to later:
2) Collect that information and distribute it into the cells I choose in VBA.
I'm familiar with Visual Basic .Net primarily, and have a small amount of VBA experience.

I have found macro to find files in folders, but none which do the above.
I've been playing about with this for ages, I have row 'U' which I manually link to local JPG files. Basically it has the word "HERE" and linked to a JPG that opens when you click it.
I'm really looking to just RIGHT CLICK a cell in column U, it opens a file browser, when I select the file it places HERE in the cell and links it to the file I've selected.
I need a macro in a workbook to look at all the files in the same folder that have "*att*.xls" in the name and determine and copy from the range A15:W515 only the rows that have data in at least columns A, C and D. Each file will vary as to how many rows there will be and there are more than the files with "*att*.xls" in the folder. The data will be on the only worksheet in each file and the worksheet is named "G2WAttendee_xls" the data from all the files need to be copied to the file called "Consolidated webinar reports.xls" (I am using Excel 2003) and to a sheet called "Attendance Data" and added to the end of the last paste.
At the start of the macro the current file "Consolidated webinar report.xls" should be saved to a sub folder of the current directory and have the date saved added to the name. The sub folder is called "Completed reports". The data in the original file on worksheet "Attendance Data" should be deleted.
At the end of the process all the files that have had data copied from them should be moved to the sub folder "Attendance reports consolidated" (This could be done as each file is closed if that is easier).
I have headings in row 1 of the "Attendance Data" worksheet that match the headings in the various files in the folder (which will always be in row 14 of the individual "*att*.xls" files).
The folder with all the files and the "Consolidated webinar report.xls" file is at path "Z:P and S MEvaluationsWebinar series 2012-13TB".
I have up to 50 workbooks in one folder with data in a specific range. I also have one workbook which includes additional data, including conditional formatting and dropdowns. I need to copy the desired range from the first workbook in the source folder to the second workbook, then save the latter to my destination folder, using the same name as the first. I need to repeat this process for all workbooks in the source folder.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an Excel VBA Macro for creating/logging drawing numbers. Each drawing belongs to a job number. Each job number has a folder name containing the job number followed by a description (ie 999999 - bracket assembly) for storing drawing pdf's. The job number is only known as a 6 figure number in the drawing creation process BUT for the PDF saving process it is a string value...as my example above
I have to change my process by pre-creating the Job Number folder, then have the macro look for the appropriate folder by searching the parent folder for a sub folder containing the job number (always the first 6 figures).
I want to insert in my macro some code that searches...
The parent folder for a folder containing the job number. The macro value for the parent folder is P:engineeringdrawings (this never changes). the macro value for the job number is iOpenair (it's an entry that is entered as start the macro). Imagine the value for the job number is "999999"...so the search would be for "999999*.*" The code needs to search the parent folder, find the folder name that begins with a six digit number. Capture the complete name of the folder and store that name as a Dim value that I can call up elsewhere in my macro.
I am creating a document for work that automatically generates hyperlinks to pdf files in a given sub folder. Currently I have a section of code that opens a window to choose the folder location.
Code:
'Prompt user to select a directory
Do
Problem = False
Set ShellApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application"). _
Browseforfolder(0, "Please choose a folder", 0, "c:\")
On Error Resume Next
[Code] ........
What I actually want is to not have the window open, but excel automatically choose the sub folder location.
The directory looks like this
Z:ClientProjectDRAWINGS-2 RECORD COPIESPDF
The xlsm file is stored in the DRAWINGS folder, and I need it to point to the PDF folder.
