Jun 18, 2007I want to open a user defined file name in excel and then activate it , to run a macro on it.
View 3 RepliesI want to open a user defined file name in excel and then activate it , to run a macro on it.
View 3 RepliesI had a working subroutine which I moved to another workbook (rather than linking to it and having both workbooks open at the same time).
Now I get "user-defined type not defined" when it runs. Here is the beginning of the
Global oApp As Object
Sub UpdateForecasts()
Call Update1
Call Update2
End Sub
Sub Update1()
Dim dPath As String
Dim dDest As String
Dim dCondition As String
Dim dName As String
Dim FSO As New FileSystemObject
Herewith I attached a sample excel file.
Structure file which i attached herewith include all the cost center details. normally it is a big file contain more than 1000 cost center details. Structure File.xlsx If i want a cost center name for some cost center code, i have to open this file and find a specific name.
What i plan is develop a macro function called "CC".
If I type =CC("D232") I need to print cost center name for D232.
But the problem is i don't want to open the structure file, without open that file, when i type this function i need a result.
I Want make a code to open (OPEN File Dialog)
and it works good I can't change the Diroctory!
Sub OpenFile()
fileToOpen = Application. GetOpenFilename("Execl Files ( *.xls), *.xls")
ChDir "C:" ' Not work good
If fileToOpen <> False Then
Workbooks.Open Filename:=fileToOpen
Else
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
check this code.
I am writing code that requires data from another workbook. Instead of hardcoding the directory and filename (which changes daily), how can I have the code prompt the user to do this for me?
I want to open the file with:
links updated
read-only
Also, is there a way to have an initial directory that appears so the user need not go through a dozen directories every time to get to the file?
I have code that prompts the user to open a specific excel file. However, with the following:
Filepath = "..."
name = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel Files *.xls* (*.xls*),",)
Workbooks.Open name
the default directory you start out in in the window that prompts the user to select a file is NOT ...
How can I properly assign which directory the user starts in so they need not go through 10 sub-directories everytime they run this code?
We have several salespeople who maintain a workbook tracking their workflow. I want to compile the customer account number, account name and deal number for each rep to another workbook. A new sourcebook is started each week. This code is in the target book
'Option Explicit
Public sourcebook As Object 'the workflow workbook
Sub GETDATA()
Dim wsc As Double 'the number of pages in the workflow
Dim col As Long 'the column in this workbook for returning values
Dim IntEndRow As Double 'the end row in this book
Dim SrcEndRow As Double 'the end row in workflow
Dim findval 'the column workflow where the sourcedata is found
My code allows the user to select a workbook and then loops through each sheet in that book searching for the column which has the info I need, this changes on each sheet as the reps each deal with different types of customer as so take different details. I solved this by having column headers in the target book and searching for them in the sourcebook.
This code works when I step through it but falls over at the "Set sourcebook" line when I run it where it returns a breakpoint error.
Trying to convert an Excel 2003 macro to work in Excel 2007.
The problem line is
Dim MyDataObject As DataObject
I suspect the problem is a Missing Reference, but I cannot figure out which one. I have the same ones (in 2007) as 2003 except for one which is not showing
Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library
Is this the one it needs? It is called something else in 2007?
The ones I do have ticked are
Visual Basic For Applications
Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library
OLE Automation
Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library
Microsoft ADO Ext. 2.8 for DDL and Security
Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library

I am using Microsoft Excel 2010 and Microsoft VBA 7.0 on my system. I would like to eventually create a PowerPoint and insert charts generated in the Excel workbook. In the meantime, I cannot get the basic PowerPoint created.
The line in red is highlighted blue when the compile error "User-defined type not defined" message box appears.
Public Sub TryAgain() Dim myPowerPoint As PowerPoint.Application
'
' do nothing for now
'End Sub
I have set the references such that Microsoft Project 14.0 Object Library is indeed checked. The Excel file only contains this code in a module. All sheets are blank. Nothing else is written yet.
I'm trying to write a macro that will bring up the "File Open" dialog box, and allow the user to navigate to the directory where the file is located. It won't be the same file every time, and the files will likely have different names.

I have a program that opens an excel-workbook, I first check whether the file is opened by another user(open for read-write). This works fine, but I'd like to know which user has the file open with VBa code. ex.
workbooks.open ....
if open
then msgbox " Book opened by user"
end if
So it's the same as you open an excel(with your windows explorer) on a network and you get the message that the file is already opened by the user....

I have a workbook were a user will write down some info. Then I need to copy that data to a second workbook located anywere in the Hard drive. i used the function "GetOpenFilename" or the "Application.dialogs(xlopenfile) to ask the user where is the file (and open it). Now I need to get the name of that file. How can I get it?(the name of the file the user selected to open). P.S. I saw there is somewhere a "Print" function to copy data from a workbook to another closed workbook. I was planning to have both workbooks open and then just use several lines like:

I have developed a product that's a bunch of Excel spreadsheets strung together. Real estate and mortgage professionals use the tools to counsel home buyers. We include a pdf converter in case recipients of emailed file attachments don't have Excel.
We provide an 'Export' procedure that calls a custom dll that uses the outgoing mail server that the user [must] setup or our web's mail server as a default. The action attaches the Excel or the PDF file and sends in the background. We use an Excel form for user to write the message and the process saves a copy of the message sent and the file send in an Archives folder.
This procedure is not very user friendly, as it does not offer the user's address book to select a recipient, does not put the message in the user's email client Sent folder...Plus the Archives folder could become quite large...plus it involves a user setup that creates alot of support calls.
But actually the most critical shortcoming has become that ISPs (Comcast and ATT so far) are blocking the use of custom email clients!
Recently my son showed me in QuickBooks their attach file-to-email process. It simply opens the user's default email client with the file attached. I need an app that does that! And it needs to be distributable.
I am making a macro that requires that user to enter a directory path into a input box and the macro will open the file. Right now it works fine bit i would like to change the code so that instead of using an input box it brings up a box that will allow them to browse files on their computer and then select one to open.

My end goal is to log on to several websites and pull data out of tables on the websites back into excel so that I can have a one stop shop instead of logging into many websites manually.
This code works fine when I use it, but not when a co-worker uses it on his PC. The code and VBA references are the same. He gets the "User-Defined Type not defined" error. I'm wondering if there is an Outlook setting that may blow this up.
the code was working on his PC and then it stopped though no changes were made to the code. That's why I think it may be blocked by an Outlook setting.
Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set MailOutLook = appOutLook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
MailOutLook.Subject = "E-mail"
I've made a macro that inserts an entire new row above a specified cell, then updates each column of that row using offset.value and various constants and inputbox variables. Works great so far, unless I try to apply a validation rule to one of the cells.
The code I'm using to add the validation works okay when referring to a specific cell by reference e.g:
With Range("A1").Validation
etc...
However, when I change it thusly:
With Sheet2.Range("LastRow").Offset(-1, 5).Validation
.Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:= _
xlBetween, Formula1:="=Departments"
.IgnoreBlank = True
.InCellDropdown = True
End With
It doesn't like that one bit.
This is part of a private Sub attached to a button in the same sheet. I've had a scan through the archives looking for validation threads, but couldn't find anything that refers to problems with offsets (if indeed that is the problem here).
I use Excel 2003 at work. I'm looking for some code that will Open a folder and then lets the user to select a file then continues to run the macro.
The file name they select will look similar to this K2271011.504 or K3011111.201
