Open IE Hyperlink In Active IE Instead Of New Instanc


What is the code to activate a hyperlink in an active IE window, new tab (IE7), as opposed to a new window, which is the result of:

Private Sub CommandButton14_CLICK()
Dim strClick1 As String
Dim strClick1default As String
Set WEBPAGE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

strClick1default = Range("c51").Value
strClick1 = InputBox("Paste the weblink for the trace, or accept the default, and press OK to initiate the trace.", "ClickTrace", strClick1default)
Range("c51").Value = strClick1
If vbOK Then
With WEBPAGE
.Visible = True
.navigate strClick1
End With

End If
This code runs the hyperlink activation fine, but opens a new instance of IE, whereas I want it to use the already open and active instance, but using a new tab.

Create Hyperlink In Active Cell
I'm running Excel 2003 and I'm looking for assistance with programmatically creating hyperlinks. I have to update a Shared Workbook on a weekly basis. The cells in column D contain a catalog id and I need to create a hyperlink that includes this id in the url.

What I want to do is insert a new row, enter the catalog id and then create a hyperlink that contains the id. Additionally, the text to display has to be the 8 digit id. Here is an example of the hyperlink.

Use Active Cell To Create Hyperlink
I am trying to use an active cell (i.e. "Sheet2!E7") which always changes, to create a hyperlink on a different sheet to that particular cell. What is happening is I have a master list of current open POs. On a separate sheet I have the PO listed in greater detail. I want the PO number on my master list to have a hyperlink that brings you to my detailed PO on another sheet. Simply, I need a way to turn my active cell into text (not the contents, but the cell itself).

r = 2
Do
Cells(r, 1).Hyperlinks(1).Follow NewWindow:=False, AddHistory:=True
r = r + 1
Loop While Cells(r, 1).Hyperlinks.Count

Hyperlink Or Open -- Which To Use?
I need to post an Excel file to a web site that is sort of a "navigation" tool. What this tool will do is open a series of Excel files that are also on the web site, print something in them and then close them. My files have multiple worksheets, but if I use the OPEN command, my workbooks only have one worksheet (obviously, the first). So, I tried using the hyperlink(1).follow command which works and opens the file in its own window, however, as soon as the file opens, it has the focus and my macro in my navigation file stops and everything comes to a halt.

I want to be able to arrow over to that cell and hit a button to play the file (which is contained in cell B1018 in the above example), and there doesn't seem to be a keyboard shortcut to do this.

Create Hyperlink From 2 Cells, Then Open Word
The purpose of this endeavour is to create a cell that when the user clicks
on it, it will open up a Word file that THAT particular cell represents.

FIRST STEP:
Take the values from Column D (Tract Number), then add a ".doc" extension to
it, then put the UNC filepath (\serverdata
eports) in front of all of that
and put it in Column E. See me example below:

File path plus Tract Number plus Extension

\serverdata
eports 7-5-065-085 .doc

.... to generate something like this:
\serverdata
eports7-5-065-085.doc

SECOND STEP:
Use the value (only when the user clicks on the hyperlink) from the cell in
Column E and start up Word.

Open Hyperlink In Cell With Macro Code
how to open a Hyperlink directly. I have writen some code which allows me to copy over certain cells from a large list of hyperlinked files. However I am struggling to figure out how to open the hyperlink without actually writing the hyperlink address into the code. The hyperlinks are the file names and not the file paths. In essence I'm aiming to just get the macro to "click" the hyperlink to open it. Once the file is open the rest of my code will work, it is just this one sticking point.

Active Multiple Open Workbooks
I want to use a for command, but not include all the i's between two numbers. The reason is I want it to activate open workbooks that have similar names, like '110000 2007.xls', '120000 2007.xls', '130000 2007.xls', '150000 2007.xls' and so on.

I want my code to look something like this:

For i = 11, 12, 13, 15
Windows(10 * i & "000 2007.xls").Activate
'do stuff
Next i

Is there a way I can do this? Or use another command?

Hyperlink Address From Hyperlink Formula/Function
I am having a slight problem copying hyperlinks. I have written some code that sorts data by date and then creates a simple diary. It originally placed the name of the event in the new diary sheet. What I would like to do is instead of copying the name into this new sheet copy a hyperlink that I have created to the company's website for that event.

I can create the hyperlink using hyperlink(B1,A1) where A1 is the company name and B1 is the web address but since the new sheet will not have the underlying data I need to actually copy the values and format of the hyperlink rather than the formula.

Find Method To Search For The Active And Non Active Values
I have a range of amounts in Sheet 1 from F7:Q13 and im using the find method to search for the active and non active values in the cell. Which means that if there's a value in the cell it will transfer the value in Sheet 2, if nothing is found in the cell the cells in Sheet 2 will return as nothing or null.

I think the problem lies on the FindWhat variable. Im getting a compiled error which im not sure what is it.

Open Message Box Or Disable Option On Open
how to make a MsgBox open anytime a cell in Column A was double-clicked--and the content of the MsgBox was from the cell in the same row in column Z. I've now realized the double-clicking isn't an ideal solution, as it's easy to click in another cell and mess up all the formulas.

(1) Code that deactivates the "edit directly in cell" option when the workbook is opened.

(2) Code that opens the MsgBox when a cell in Column A is clicked just once (or similarly less fool-proof than double-clicking or right-clicking).

Get Open File Name To Open Multiple Files

The Quickbooks file opens fine. The Excel workbook never appears to open but
I do get the full file pathname to my excel workbook returned which I then
parse off to get just the workbook name.

Why would it behave this way? I open both these files manually all the time.

Also, I'm trying to use a filter as follows:

myname = Application.GetOpenFilename("*.QBW")

I get a compile error saying that I'm calling the function wrong.

Hyperlink To A Value
I am trying to do is have a hyperlink go to another sheet after searching the second sheet for the same value. I have a sheet labeled "IQI" which has the total number of cases for a certain condition. I have another sheet labeled "IQI Cases" which lists out each case individually.

I want to be able to click on the Condidion in the IQI sheet and have that take me to that specific spot in the IQI Cases sheet where the cases for that condition begin.

Right now I just have a simple hyperlink to a range of cells. But each month a report is generated and the range will be different and I have to go and change the range each time. So I guess I want a hyperlink and a lookup function combination.

I dont know if this would be a Macro or a formula.

Used the example in Excel as a model to set this up so placed this formula in cell B1:

this defaults to =hyperlink(Sheet1!a1,"LINK") since Book1 is the current wb.
clicking on "link" in cell B1 produces "Cannot open specified file" error.
