Method Of Object Class Failed. Adding Borders
Jul 28, 2007
Error 1004 on the 5th "With Selection" Chunk, .LineStyle part.
What I did is recorded the formatting I wanted on a selected region, then changed the major references to the defined region in my code called rngATotals.
At first I got errors with the "Select" method of the "Range" class with my rngATotals line (the first one). But then I clarified public variables and now its in the formatting chunk that was recorded.
I've tried:
--Changing security/protection settings
--Clarifying my rngATotals references
--Making the sheet containing rngATotals visible (still in my code snippet)
--And not using rngATotals to define my range but more specific, clunky references like Range ("A3":"B7") or Range(Cells...,Cells...) or Range ("RAnge'sName")
What further could I clarify? And why does it have a problem with the 5th borders/linestyle reference and not the previous ones?
I hate to have to ask another question about this error because there are so many...
Is there anything beyond what I've tried that is a usual way to approach this problem?
Anyway heres the
Sub FormatTotalsTables()

I have been running a simulation for about 18 hours now and just received:
Run-time error '1004':
Method 'Add' of object ' Sheets' failed
I have been creating new sheets, importing data, pulling some values from the data then deleting the respective sheet. I am using:
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add after:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
The sheet is actually being added to the workbook, seemingly before the error. I resume the code, and a new sheet is placed in the workbook and it errors again. The Debugger stops and highlights on the code above.The sheet count number was 10895 at the error, just as an indicator of how many times the simulation has performed successfully. I am hoping this is something I can fix without having to start over...

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.

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.

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

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.

Where it says that "Select Method of Range class failed"
Private Sub ButtonX_Click()

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.

I have written some code to move data from one sheet to another. Since the from sheet has formulas, I use the PasteSpecial command. I have used code like this for years, and all the sudden, this starts breaking. And, here is the fun part, I run the code and it works sometimes. I never know when it will fail. It is so random. This is killing me. I have tried to create objRange object and assign them and it works sometime and fails others. Also, I tried adding the line Worksheets("Daily Dashboard"). Range ("C72").Select before the first PasteSpecial as to select the cell first before pasting. Then I get the "Select method of range class failed".
Lastly, I tried copying the code from behind a worksheet into a new module. The code is triggered by a button on the first worksheet. Still fails.
Private Sub cmdGetData_Click()
[Result1].Value = ""
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Worksheets("Calculation Sheet").Range("A39:A62").Copy
Worksheets("Daily Dashboard").Range("C72").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
Worksheets("Calculation Sheet").Range("C39:C62").Copy
Worksheets("Daily Dashboard").Range("E72").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
[Result1].Value = "Complete"
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
Sheets("Control Panel").Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Everytime i run the code though, I get an error that says "Select method of range class failed" and Range("I1").Select is apparently the error.

I m trying to use some simple macro recording for a command button click. I keep getting the "Select method of range class failed" error from the following code.
From reading the forum it seems to be a common mistake by newbies, couldnt work it out for myself though...my command button is located on a different sheet to where the select function must work...from the code you can see that there are around 20 sheets that need to be used from the one command button...
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Sheets("Treviso").Activate
Range("G21:T21").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("G39:T39").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("G61:T61").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("G77:T77").Select

To import the data and then these lines to copy the unique records to a range:
Code:
Sheet33.Range("C1").Select

CopyToRange:=Sheet33.Range("S1"), Unique:=True

Macro has been working fine for ages suddenly have received this consistently?
It's not debugging to allow me to see the route of the problem.
i've googled and seen it's normally a use of select but can't see any issue in my code or understand why it would work for months and now stop.
note: also after i click Ok on the error the macro seems to continue running and data is pulled through. ...but this message comes up every time so it's questioning the reliability of the data it's pulling.

I found the following for something that I was searching for on the web.
Selection.Columns.PasteSpecial Paste:=8
My question is two fold, 1) What does the '8' mean? 2) Is there someplace that tells me what other numbers for PasteSpecial mean?
This solved a problem that I had when trying to do a PasteSpecial for Column Width. What I had been trying was the following:
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlColumnWidths, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
But I would get the error run time error '1004', PasteSpecial method of Range class failed.

I am working on a file which is a log of all the requests we send out to our vendors. We regularly need to re-send these requests to remind them they haven't responded yet, so I am working on a macro which takes the info from the log and re-populates the request form so everything doesn't have to be re-typed every time. I've added a MsgBox as a double-check to force people to confirm they want to re-send the request.
My problem is that if you hit "No" on the MsgBox, then try to run the code again, it gives me a Run-time Error 1004 saying "Paste method of Worksheet class failed". Can someone look at my code and see if you can tell me why it works the first time but not the second?
