When I protect my sheet, the module I have no longer works: an error message appears saying "Method failed..."
I searched around and found that if i used Me.Unprotect and Me.Protect at the beggining and end of the code, the problem would be solved, except that it isn't. After that, another message appears saying "Invalid use of me keyword"...
I'm trying to get the Find and FindNext methods to work. Column C contains serial numbers and there's a chance that a serial number might appear more than once in the column. What I'm trying to do is get Excel to find the first occurance of the serial number, find what row it's on and then see if this matches the variable 'CurRowNo' (defined earlier in the code). If it doesn't I want it to look at the other occurances of the serial number, find what row they're on and see again if it matches CurRowNo.
The variable 'EngCount is the number of occurances of the serial number (also worked out earlier in the code). I've got the code below, but I get the error 'Method Range of Object Global Failed' on the FindNext line. I have no idea what this error means or why it's happening.
My workbook holds a month template and sheets for each month. I work on modifications in the template ,but would then like to update all the monthly worksheets. I recorded a macro to show me how to start programming the vb sub, but get a runtime failure 'error 1004 Select method of range class failed' when trying to select the column to copy,
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm developing a few workbooks that may at some point be distributed amongst other people. If this happens, I don't want people sharing these workbooks around, and therefore I need a way of enforcing the users to only use a workbook on a single computer.
I have come up with a method that allows a workbook to open on a single machine only, and not others, but I had to devise this method myself. I was wondering if there are other ways of doing it, possibly quicker ways than my own, or if there is something already within Excel that caters for this?
I am running a vba code to add about 200 sheets...my code generates a sheet in one file and then pastes it in another file....after generating nad adding 38 sheets i get the error copy method of excel failed

I have a working macro that duplicates the active worksheet with values only. It basically cleans out formulas and data validation from the data. The code is:
View 2 Replies View RelatedLet CopyRange = 'A' & Roll
Range(CopyRange).Select
Roll is dimensioned as Long, and is a counter for line numbers. Is this legal? I'm getting:
Method 'range' of object '_Global' failed.
i just figured out that when you change sheets too often in VBA and get an "Activate Method Of Range Class Failed" or a "Select Method Of Range Class Failed" etc, simply retype the sheets command before it
for example :
Sheets("Work1").Select
Range("A1:D50").Select
OR
Sheets(Work1").Range("A1:D50").Select
this code in VBA, if used too often or the mentioned sheet is not the currently selected sheet in a Sub, will cause errors, and to correct this, simply type
Sheets("Work1").Select
Sheets("Work1").Range("A1:D50").Select
this makes sure that the sheet is selected before running any other range/sheet type commands.
The following code below was very kindly created for me by someone approx 12 months ago and I have been using it without any problems at all.
The purpose of the code is to creates a new Menu/Title item named "Quality" on the main Excel menu bar at the top of Excel and place it between the "Windows" and "Help"
This new Quality menu then has further drop lists which i can add as suited.
Two days ago i started getting the following RunTime Error everytime i open Excel and i can not longer get the new menu "Quality" to show on my Excel menu bar.
run-time error '2147467259 (80004005)':

I have modified this code in the past and used it in at least 4 different appications. However this time my lack of VBA knowledge has got the best of me. I keep getting the error message mentioned in my title and the debug highlight the following:

Here is my code.
Sub TextConvert()
Dim lngS1LastRow As Long
Dim lngS2LastRow As Long

I am migrating from Excel 2002 to Excel 2007. I get the error Open Method of Workbooks failed on the line :-
Set new_Transactions = Application.Workbooks.Open(Activity_File_Name)
I have checked that Activity_File_name contains the correct value and is stored as a string.
I have a while loop in which I'm updated information in 2 separate worksheets. I'm using the With-block statements separately to update each, but after the 30th iteration (and it's always on the 30th), the VBA code halts and get the "method 'value' of object 'range' failed" error message pointing to a line with the code as follows:
With Sheet1
.Cells(lngRow, 9).Value = intMonths
End With
where "intMonths" is an integer variable which I'm populated properly, and "lngRow" a long variable. When I debug both variables have proper data in them, and I have no idea why this is bombing.
I have a worksheet "Create Origin Zones" - sheet #17 in the array - that has 56 checkboxes.
Users can click anywhere from 1 to 56 checkboxes, and for each checkbox that is checked, I unhide a sheet "Shp Profile Tmpt", copy it after sheet #17, rename it to "Origin " + checkbox#, and give it a title based on a variable in another sheet.
Once that loop is done, I then hide the "Create Origin Zones" sheet, but the user can click a button on the new sheet to go back to the 'Create Origin Zones" sheet and add more zones by clicking more checkboxes and re-running the macro.
Problem is I get that "Run-time error '1004':Copy Method of Worksheet Class failed" when I copy too many sheets. All the solutions I saw involve saving, closing and reopening the workbook but this interrupts my loop. (It would save my workbook and close it.)
I am trying to have somewhere in my loop, say every time 20 or more checkboxes are checked, its saves, closes, reopens and continues the loop to the next checkbox and repeats the copy and paste and renaming etc.
Below is my
Sub pick_origin()
chkcounter = 0
shtnum = Sheets("Create Origin Zones").Index ' find sheet# of 'Create origin zones' to copy sheets after
For i = 1 To 56 'for the 56 origin zones checkboxes

I have an application I just built last week that seemed to be working fine. It's purpose is simple. It allows the user to select multiple .rtf files from a network drive, and then it loops through them, opens them up one at a time, copies the entire contents into a "temp" sheet in the excel workbook, then copies certain data from the temp tab to the next two columns in the main "data" tab of the worksheet, deletes the temp sheet, and then repeats the process for each selected .rtf file. Finally , it does some formatting of the "data" tab. All in all, it works quite well. Or at least, it DID.
VB:
Sub CopyRTFDocToTemp()
Dim WordApp As Object
Set WordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
With WordApp
[Code] .....
As of last night, we started getting various errors.
"Run-time error '1004': Paste Method of Worksheet class failed" error messages occasionally. The frequency seems to have increased.
We were also getting an error message that reads "Microsoft Excel is waiting for another application to complete an OLE action" error messages.
Then when I stepped through the code, I was getting an error message that read [filename I'm trying to open] "is locked for editing by" [me]. "Do you want to Open a Read Only copy, Create a local copy and merge your changes later, or Receive notification when the original copy is available"
I suspected two issues
1. The macro is not successfully opening the source file before it tries to copy it, so there is nothing to paste into Excel
2. The word file was not closed the LAST time I ran the app, so the file is getting stuck open, and I have no way to manually close it.
Finally, I rebooted the PC, and added code (activedocument.close) to close the word app after copying the contents of the rtf file
VB:
Sub CopyRTFDocToTemp()
Dim WordApp As Object
Set WordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
With WordApp
[Code] ....
I'm considering adding a wait loop to ensure that the app has actually opened a copy of the rtf file, so it has something to copy, but I'm unsure what variable to check with that loop.
I have created a spreadsheet that is 38mb and needed to size it down. I recorded the following macro to do this. This essentialy jut copies the top line of the relevant columns on each page and then copies the formulas down, calculates, and then pastes just the values of these calculations, thereby reducing the sheet to a third of its size. The macro works if I run it from the macro option on the toolbar, but when I assign it to a command button I keep getting ' select method
View 13 Replies View RelatedI'm currently working on a fairly complex VBA project in Excel 2007. Basically though, I'm downloading information from a site, massaging it, creating a lot of graphs, saving them locally, deleting the chart from excel. I then save a copy of the workbook to a local file, clear the Spreadsheet, and then Do the same for information from another site.
When I had all of the code in one Module and ran it as a macro it ran flawlessly.
Now i've put the information into a Class. And am pretty much running the same process via a UserForm.
The problem I have though is that at any point after I execute the (and please assume that all variables have been declared, because they have)

I've checked the row and column values inside and they seem to be ok. blank_ee() is an array of strings.
I try to copy some cells from one workbook to another but keep getting the error message "paste method o range class failed."
I tried different ways to paste, such as
range("D157").PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
or
range("D157","D330).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
and got the same result.

Questions:
1) 1st Dim statement, is this valid? I still get a little unsure- in the data type lists in the help file, the list file does not list things like Workbook, Worksheet Range.
2) Why is the error ocurring?
I have all sheets selected:
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Sheets
If ws.Visible Then ws.Select (False)
Next
' The thing is that i now want to ungroup or select the first worksheet

And then run the same sub on all the worksheets by this:
Dim wSheet As Worksheet
For Each wSheet In Worksheets
Next wSheet
Debug error is:

I am getting this error when I run the following VBA script.
Sub AutoShape3_Click()
Sheets("Template").Select
ActiveSheet.Copy After:=Sheets(14)
Duplicate.Hide
wksName.Show
End Sub
The break mode is highlighting
ActiveSheet.Copy After:=Sheets(14)
as the source of the error.
I've run this code many times before with no problem. The workbook has 48 worksheets in it. It's my understanding that Excel can handle many more worksheets, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Set rngData = wksData.UsedRange
With rngData
' clear existing filter
.AutoFilter
' filter on Owner col F
.AutoFilter field:=6, Criteria1:=varOwner
' check for count > 1 since heading row should always be visible
If .Columns(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).count > 1 Then
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy rngOutput
End If
'clear filter
.AutoFilter
End With
Set rngOutput = wksSell.Range("A1")
It fails on the line highlighted in red, and from searches on this forum and google I think I need to specify more exactly which sheet it is. something like wksdata.SpecialCells.... but this doesn't work.
I need some help with this error. I have some VBA code in Outlook that runs whenever a task reminder goes off. The code is supposed to open a workbook, send email based on the info in the workbook, then close the workbook and quit excel.
The task reminders are set to go off every two hours. Sometimes this will work fine for days and then randomly (as far as I can tell) I get the error: "Method Open of Object Workbooks failed". If I press Debug and then Run without changing anything at all, it works fine.
I am using Outlook 2007 and Excel 2007. The workbook is a shared workbook on a network drive.
I can post code if needed, but will have to go to that computer.
Why do I occasionally get this error when the workbook definitely exists and has the same name and path?
What does entering debug mode do that then allows the macro to run without error?

I have a button on my spreadsheet which activates some code, it has worked perfectly for over a year but now for some reason I cannot get it to work.

the file is far too large to attach here but here is the relevant ...
I've developed an administrative package in Excel for an After School Care programme. Essentially, there are 57 Child Records. Each record is stored on its own sheet. There are four other sheets in the workbook: three hidden templates, and the front page which holds a summary of all child attendance and balances.
Up until a short time ago, invoices were created from an "Invoices.xlt" file - the program would open the file as a new book, and copy the 1st Template page out until all invoices were created. This worked fine. I've recently changed this so the Invoice template is stored within the main workbook. After I did this, we started having problems.
We can run off up to 25-35 invoices fine (32 at this stage), but eventually it hits a point where the Activesheet.Copy command fails. After this point it is impossible to copy further sheets. I CAN, however, use Insert -> Worksheet. It is only the copy function that fails.
Because it's such a strange problem, I've uploaded an example with children's names changed. It can be found on [url]
The steps to recreate the problem are simple: Open the file, select all of the children's names (from Child to Child z), and click the "Create Invoices" button at the top.
