File System Object: User-Defined Type Not Defined

Nov 28, 2006

I 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

User Select File To Open

Oct 17, 2011

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?

Prompting User To Open File?

Oct 18, 2011

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?

Allow User To Choose File To Open

Oct 19, 2006

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.

Excel 2003 :: Stuck On User-defined Type Not Defined Error?

Oct 9, 2012

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
Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.8 Library
Microsoft Scripting Runtime
Microsoft XML v2.6

Excel 2010 :: User-Defined Type Not Defined Compile Error When Creating PowerPoint Using VBA

Jul 29, 2014

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.

VB Code To Open A File That User Chooses

Mar 11, 2008

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.

Check Which User Has File/Workbook Open

Jul 28, 2004

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....

Let A User Open A New .xls File And Get File Name

App To Open User's Email Client, Attach File

Apr 8, 2008

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.

User Defined Type Not Defined

Dec 11, 2012

Which I am trying to modify to fit my needs:

Code:

Sub Test()
Const cURL = "Website Here" 'Enter the web address here
Const cUsername = "XXXXXX" 'Enter your user name here
Const cPassword = "XXXXXX" 'Enter your Password here

Dim IE As InternetExplorer
Dim doc As HTMLDocument
Dim LoginForm As HTMLFormElement

[Code] .......

I get the error User Defined type not defined on line:

Code:
Dim IE As InternetExplorer

Do I need to use references? Is there a quick fix for this?

I have code that works for a particular website but I am having trouble making it work for others. This code seems more flexible than the other code:

Code:
Option Explicit

Public Sub Press_Button()

'make sure you add references to Microsoft Internet Controls (shdocvw.dll) and
'Microsoft HTML object Library.
'Code will NOT run otherwise.

[Code] ........

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.

User Defined Type Not Defined

Aug 28, 2008

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"

"application-defined Or User-defined Error" When Applying Validation In Vba

Sep 16, 2006

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).

- also User Defined Function is written in Visual Basic?
