i have a master file which needs to be updated by several other sourcefiles. I did a macro running from the master file which opens all of the sourcefiles one by one, copies the relevant info from the sourcefile to the masterfile, and closes the sourcefile, then moves to the other one. i know this is probably not the case, but the code below seems to behave randomly: sometimes it works, sometimes it bugs by saying file not found runtime error 1004:
Dim masterfile As String
masterfile = "Master.xls"
Dim sourcefile As String
CurrentWeek = InputBox("Enter current week number")
CountWk = 35
sourcefile = "Source" & CountWk
Workbooks.Open (sourcefile)
....
The last statement causes the error. Both master.xls and source35.xls are in the same folder.
I'm trying to open multiple files based on an array of WBnames that are on a 'Dashboard' tab, but I only want to open them if they are not already opened. The code below doesn't seem to check if they are open and just opens everything....
VB: Sub OpenWorkbooks() Dim WorkbookOpen() Dim WBnames() As String 'Array of WorkBooks to be Open Dim WorkbookCnt As Integer
Dim myname As String myname = Application. GetOpenFilename
I use it to attempt to open first a QuickBooks file and then an excel workbook. 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.
i have this code below that opens a prn file. What i want it to do now is to open the next prn file within the folder. I want it to continue until it opens all of them in the folder.
the VBA code to allow a user to navigate to any of our network directories and upon selecting (using workbook getopenfilename hopefully) the proper folder on their directory open each txt file (delimited with a pipe) and then save the active file as a xls file and then close it and move on to the next file. I am pretty sure this will take a do while statement but I am not sure how to write it.
I want to know if its possible to write a macro that will prompt me to open a document, then once open it will copy data and paste it into the working spreadsheet. I have a mini macro that cuts and pastes data elsewhere in the sheet but at present I am manually opening a file then copying all and then pasteing the data which is rather slow.
I'm having problems with the multiselect argument of the getopenfilename function. I've used this dozens of times with no problems, but now it doesn't work for me. I tried copying and pasting code that works in one module,
What I'm using is
Sub OpenFiles() Dim vFiles As Variant, iNumfiles As Integer
If IsArray(vFiles) Then For iNumfiles = LBound(vFiles) To UBound(vFiles) MsgBox vFiles(iNumfiles) Next iNumfiles End If
End Sub
pretty simple, expect that when I select multiple files in the open dialog box, vfiles is a string containing one of the filenames, not an array containing them all! (by selecting, I simply highlight all the fiels I want and click open)
i would like to use the application.getopenfilename to select multiple files, then with these file's would like to be able to use them to create a email with these files as the attachment. then move the files to a new location and delete the originals.
I have a macro to find me a document from a certain details, but in some circumstances their may be multiple applicable documents, I know nothing of user forms, but how to I find all the documents, show their "modified date", "Name","File type" and select one or which several to open.
My current code:
Code:
Code: Private Sub OpenPDF() Dim Ans Dim TheFile As String
[Code]....
To have something more like a form popup showing for a search within a folder for files containing 'Brians Store':
Open? Name Date O "Quote Brians Store - ProductsA.xlsm" 1/2/12 O "Quote Brians Store - ProductsB.xlsm" 1/1/12 O "Quote Brians Store - ProductsA.xlsm" 1/5/11 O "Quote Brians Store - ProductsC.xlsm" 1/4/11
And I may want to open the 1st, 2nd and last files.
I do'nt know really my problem is regarding excel or with windows, actually stange thing starts happening, I open multiple excel files but only one general excel instance is showing on the task bar. If I need to switch between the file I have to minimise the one I am using and then select other to open it. Even shortcut Alt+Tab switch is not working to switch between the excel files.
I need to open 9 files in different worksheet. If the files is not present i want to get to the next available one. I don't understant the following code will work once, but not 2 times in arrow. The error handler routine works only once and then if the file is not present I will get a error 1004 (on this line Workbooks.Open Filename:="c:" & openfile). I know that the file is not present but the error gets trap the first time and not the second time.
I'm trying to build a macro to open multiple files at one time that will always be saved in a consistent drive. The problem is that sometimes there will only be one file for a month (ie only at month-end) and other times, there may also be additional files for different dates throughout the month. I wont know ahead of time how many files there will be, but they will always be saved in the same file name type that is "FILE DESCRIPTION MM-DD-YYYY". How can I build a loop that looks for a file on each possible day but doesn't error out if the file doesn't exist?
I have 40 files in one folder which I named it as "CA" + month's name that I am working on. I need to do analyse these files monthly and save it under new folder. how do I automatically save them in new folder and name them for that particular month. Also, each file has worksheet which has one cell as "Aug-07" and the cell next to it has number of that month that is "08". How do I automatically change this also based on the name of the file, because file name month and month in the cell are the same.
I have a number of similar templates on a server used to produce quotations from other files with lookup formulas. They all have 2 modules, 3 & 4. Module 3 deletes certain data and shows values instead of formulas for most of the pricing etc. Module 4 contains a macro that logs info in another central workbook on the server.
If 2 files are opened based on the same template at once, when the Quote_Wrapup macro (in module3) is run on one of the open files(code follows) from a button on the spreadsheet it often produces a Run-time error '9' Subscript out of range error.
I want to allow users to place files (.jpg, .tif, .pdf, .pps etc) into a network folder and then have my program open each file and display it for 30 seconds then close the file and the application before opening the next file.
1. Set up a loop to get a directory listing of the folder and write the listing to a text file.
2. Open up the text file and get the next filename in it
3. Open the file in the associated application
4. Wait for 30 seconds (or some period of time) and then close the file
5. Repeat steps 2-4
DoIt = 1 While DoIt = 1 Open "C:TempList.txt" for output as #1 Print #1, Files In Folder Close #1
Open "C:TempList.txt" for input as #2 while not eof(2) Line input #2, MyFile Display MyFile on screen Wait for 30 seconds Close MyFile and MyApplication that opened it wend Close #2
I can get the directory listing just fine with no problems
I can open the files in the associated application just fine with no problems.
with closing the application after 30 seconds or some period of time.
I need some code that will allow me to easily send it a filename and it will know how to close the file and the application that opened it.
I have an Excel application (Excel 2003) which is stored in the default Program Files folder by the Installer; for example: c:program fileszxchello.xls. The problem I am running into is this file opens as Read Only in Vista and this is interfering with the running of the application. There is no problem opening the file normally in Windows XP.
I have been able to narrow down the cause of this to the User Account Control system in Vista - if I turn OFF User Account Control, the Excel file opens normally and my application functions normally. Is there another option to open the Excel file without turning OFF User Account Control because some users may find it unacceptable to turn OFF this security feature. Ofcourse, one option is to install the application in another location, outside the Program Folder, and the file would open normally, but the Packaging Wizard that I am using to package the application does not allow me to install the application in any other location and thus, the application installs in the Program Folder and I am running into this problem of the Exel file opening as Read Only. Is there a way out of this situation where I can open the file normally (not as Read Only)?
I have the code below. It openes all csv files within a folder, then delete rows depending on the value of a cell. Now it needs to save the file as a xls file ....
how I can loop through folders to select files starting with a certain word and copy all of them to a different folder and rename them. The folder structure is given below
Company 1(parent folder) North South East(sub folder) West(sub folder) Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec
In the above structure, the files are present inside each folders Jan, feb...Dec under the regions North, South East n west. note that I have to select files starting with "Sales" and copy them into a new folder(say results) and rename copied files as Sales1.xls, Sales2.xls etc. (Files are not present in the folder company1, north, south, east and east.)
I have a excel file that I enter information into. I have code that saves the files to a certain folder with the name, date, and time stamp for the file name. At the end of the day I might have 3 to 15 excel files I have created that day and I would like to take information from certain cells (examle: L3, B6, B7, B8, G8, and so on) and create a txt file with all of the information in it.
Example: 12/20/2007 Your Name 123 Somewhere St. Here, OH 45111 Home Visit
I quite often bring spreadsheets home to work on, but in the last few days it seems that any sheet with a macro produces an error message when I try to open it on my home pc.
(Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close) The files are created with excel 2003 and my home version is 2002. Previously this has not been a problem. I can still load versions of the same spreadsheet from a week ago, but not any recent sheets containing macros. Macro security is set to medium - always was.
Is there a setting somewhere that could have inadvertantly been changed that is causing this problem?
I was trying to read BMP file. But when ever there are NULL char in File Left,Right doesn't work. Does any one have any alternative for this. For Eg. here are first 10 bytes of a BMP file. 42 4D 4E 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 3E
Open [C2].Value For Input As #BMP_Src 'Read BMP As Input File While EOF(BMP_Src) = 0 Line Input #BMP_Src, sTemp While Len(sTemp) ActiveSheet. Cells(iRow, iCol).Value = Left(sTemp, 1) 'Update readed Char x = Left(sTemp, 1) 'Temp Var to see Char sTemp = Right(sTemp, Len(sTemp) - 1) 'Remove Updatd Char iCol = iCol + 1 'Update Col Count If iCol > 10 Then 'Init Col Count iCol = 1 ' iRow = iRow + 1 'Inc Row Count End If Wend Wend
In this code after reading 4th Byte Code jump to 10th Byte. because Left, Right consider NULL as endof string. I asked this Question to know if there is any alternative way to read NULL char in VBA.
I have about 100 Excel files in one folder that need to be saved as text files. They can keep the same name, but simply need to be converted to text files. I'd like to use VBA for this and I can't find examples that do exactly that...or ones that my limited knowledge can handle.
Excel files exist in C:Source and ALL of them should be saved as text files in C:Destination. Maybe there is an easier way, but I thought for sure there was a routine I could use.
I receive excel reports every day. But the last couple of days when downloading the reports I get them as csv. Also older reports I have saved on the hard disk open as csv.
Well, the ones I have saved have are now csv files and I haven't done anything (knowingly) to change them to csv.
I would like to create a button that will open a file in a location based on the date of the file. So if I click the button the file with the latest date is activated as read only. The file name is always the same except, the date is added to the file name each day.
I am trying to create a template application where the user will use buttons to show the open file dialog box and select two files, and I want these files to open in the same workbook, in different sheets.
What I am trying to do is set up a few command buttons on my userform that will allow the user to open a specific folder, browse, and then open the file of their choice.
