I am trying to use the application .ontime procedure to run a class method, but having a little trouble with what to use as my procedure name. Do I have to include the name of the class, or the name of the instantiation of the class, or what? Here is kind of what I have in the "myClass" class module:
Option Explicit
Private WithEvents m_cmdButton As MSForms.CommandButton
Private m_iTimer As Double
Private Sub m_cmdButton_MouseDown(ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
' Set the time with the long delay
m_iTimer = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, I_TIMER_DELAY_LONG)
' Start the timer
Call Application.OnTime(earliesttime:=m_iTimer, procedure:="ClickAgain", schedule:=True)
End Sub
Private Sub ClickAgain()
Call MsgBox("ClickAgain successfully called.", , "Boo yeah!")
End Sub
I have checked and the MouseDown event is being registered: it will work if I use a procedure in a standard module rather than the class method"ClickAgain". (I am only including the code relevant to the "ontime" procedure. My actual class has other methods to deal with setting the control source for the command button & everything.)
Sub StartCycleB() ActiveWorkbook.UpdateLink Name:="c:/a/b/c/test.xls", Type:=xlExcelLinks RunWhen = Now + TimeSerial(0, 15, 0) Application .OnTime RunWhen, "MyMacro", , True End Sub
Works fine. Its updating and refreshing a file every 15 minutes. When a cell in the test.xls changes to TRUE, my sheet picks it up and changes to TRUE also. So here is the problem: Once my sheet changes to TRUE, another macro activates in my sheet. This macro will automatically activate every 15 minutes if value is TRUE. BUT the problem is i ONLY WANT TO ACTIVATE THIS MACRO ONCE a day IF the value in my sheet is TRUE. So in summary how do i activate a macro based on a TRUE value on a cell, to happen ONCE a day and then stop?
I have 2 macros, each called by the other to keep updates fast as per below,
Sub Macro1() Cells.Replace What:=",29", Replacement:=",30", LookAt:=xlPart, _ SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False Application .OnTime Now() + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "Macro2" End Sub
Sub Macro2() Cells.Replace What:=",30", Replacement:=",29", LookAt:=xlPart, _ SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False Application.OnTime Now() + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "Macro1" End Sub
I need to create a separate macro I can run to permanently stop these two cycling. And allow me to use Excel. Then, when I wish for these to cycle again, I simply run that macro.
my wonderous spreadsheets have had a number of errors on them. One of them seems that the "autosave" VBA that we have been using seems to be hidden in memory. By this I mean that if I am working on this book and close it, on occassion the workbook tries to open itself again (it prompts for the password). Therefore I think something gets stuck "in memory" but I am not sure why it would act in this way?
The code is as follows:-
Public g_blnDate As Boolean
Public vartimer As Variant Const TimeOut = 60 'in minutes
Sub Salva() ActiveWorkbook.Save Call Tempo End Sub
I've got three workbooks that end users will be using for data entry. The VBA code for the three workbooks is identical.
I'm trying to encapsulate the code into an add-in so I only have one copy of the code that I have to debug/maintain.
Furthermore, I've also encapsulated the code in the add-in into a class. The class isn't really a "usual" object modelling some data; rather, it's a utility class processing Worksheet_Change and Worksheet_Activate events. Hopefully this isn't a really bad idea, rather than keeping the code in standard modules in the add-in.
The application is called "Midas". Here are some code excerpts:
Midas.xlam:
Standard Module:
[Code] ......
Class Module:
[Code] .....
And in the end user workbook:
[Code] .....
The Wbk_SheetChange event handler is triggering, but it's looking for the code in the end user workbook, instead of the class. Is there a way I can change
[Code] .....
to call the private routine "Cases_Changed" (where "Cases" is the sheetname) residing in the class instead of looking for it in the workbook?
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,
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
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
Dim toDel(), i As Long Dim RNG As Range, Cell As Long Set RNG = Range("d2:d2500") For Cell = 1 To RNG.Cells.Count If Application.CountIf(RNG, RNG(Cell)) > 1 Then
Code is attempting to autofilter any rows where text does not contain "0200" as indicated below, and delete all those rows. When reaching the line of code below the macro bombs and I get a "AutoFilter method of Range class failed" error message. Why that line is not being recognized.
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.
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.
When the public routine ChangeColours is called from a Command button called ButtonX on SheetX it works fine. But a command button called ButtonY on SheetY cannot run it. When ButtonY is clicked, the error is at the line :
Sheets("SheetX").Cells(4,5).Select
Where it says that "Select Method of Range class failed"
Private Sub ButtonX_Click() Call ChangeColours(0) End Sub
Private Sub ButtonY_Click() Call ChangeColours(0) End Sub...............
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.
I'm getting "1004 select method of range class failed" on the Range statement below. This code is preceded by a number of range selection and formula-setting statements, nothing unusual.
I have a macro that opens a specified woorkbook that changes every month. There are formulas which are pasted to range I1 of the new workbook to calculate the totals on this sheet. 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...
Why I'm getting the above error when I try to copy and sort data into a workbook?
I'm using this:
Code: Sub GetData1() Dim SaveDriveDir As String, MyPath As String Dim FName As Variant SaveDriveDir = CurDir MyPath = Application.DefaultFilePath 'or use "C:Data"
[Code] .......
To import the data and then these lines to copy the unique records to a range:
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.
Check Personnel Number in Data Tab with Personnel Numbers in Insert Tab. If they match copy that row from Insert Tab and paste it into the next available row in the Moves Tab.
My spreadsheet has a grouped graphic that I need to repeat in a variable number of rows. I wrote a macro that copies the grouped graphic from above and pastes and positions it in the newly inserted row.
It works great when I use F8 to step thru, but if I try to actually run the macro, I get an "Paste Method of worksheet class failed." error.
Sub InsertEmployees() Range("B18").Select Selection.EntireRow.Copy Selection.EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlDown ActiveSheet.Shapes("Group 129").Copy Application.CutCopyMode = False ActiveSheet.Paste End Sub
