Opening Two Workbooks Using VBA?
Feb 6, 2014
I have a spreadsheet that I need to open two other workbooks to copy and paste data from.
The name of the two workbooks changes each day, and the location because they are filed in subfolders.
I have the following code, which works to open the first sheet but then comes up with the following error when trying to open the second sheet. "Run-time error '1004: Excel cannot access 'Hub PVA'. The document may be read only or encrypted".
The folder is not encrypted because when I was only opening the second document with the same code, it worked.
The code I am using is:
'DECLARATION
On Error GoTo ERR1:
ChDir "G:GENERALTRANSPORTDAILYPLANS"
Workbooks.Open Filename:="G:GENERALTRANSPORTDAILYPLANS"
[Code]....

I am making a macro and I need to extract some data from workbooks. However, I have many workbooks and it would take time to the macro to open and analyze each of them.... is it possible to work with workbooks without opening them?????
For instance, I need to open a workbook and get all rows that contain the word HEXXX..... However, I have about 30 workbooks and it would take forever...

I have a Sharepoint site which seems to be set up incorrectly as I cant even do a webquery with it, or sync Excel with it.
I want to be able to open up the Excel workbooks held in this one dir within Sharepoint take some data out of it pop it into another Excel workbook and move on down to the next one!.
So far all the code I have managed to locate causes errors, so I have managed to get a feed from the Sharepoint site which gives me a hyperlink to all the docs (as these can change). What I now need is some code to run through all the hyperlinks open the doc (if it ends in xls or xlsx as some are PDF's!) take the info copy it out and move on to the next one.

What I'm trying to achieve.I'm trying to create a toolbar to have visible in excel which provides me with shortcuts to a selection of functions and some other useful documents.
I've created a document "Toobar 1.xls" in column B of which I have the file locations of the documents I want to open, the documents are moved from time to time and it is easier for other users to update the spreadsheet than vb.As you can see below I've written a piece of code to open up a document, I've created a function because there are a few documents I want to create links to and thought it would be cleaner to do it like this. This code is stored in "Module1" of "Toolbar 1.xls".
I've then created a new toolbar in excel and added a custom menu item and allocated it the macro "Pension_Credit_Calc".
When I run the code from within "Toolbar1.xls" it works fine, however if I try to run it from another workbook I get "run time error 1004". I suspect it's probably something to do with where I've stored my code,
PS. The reason I have not simply created a shortcut in the quicklaunch bar is that I will also be altering the workbooks once opened.
Code.
VB:
Function OpenUp(FileLocation) As String
Workbooks.Open (FileLocation)
End Function [code]....

-after opening the first wkbk, go to a specific cell address on the first tab of the wkbk
-paste in some values and formulas
-save the workbook
-open the next workbook, and repeat as above, for all workbooks in the folder

I would like to read data from Worbooks through VBA code and UserForm without opening them. Is it possibe?
I know I can read data from Workbooks without opening them if I write this formula directly into a Worksheet cell:
='C:Documents and SettingsUserNameDocuments[FILE_NAME.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1
The problem is it won't work for my task. I just need to analyze with UserForm Controls and For Each loops through many cells and many big Workbooks.
If I try:
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim aaa as String
aaa = 'C:Documents and SettingsUserNameDocuments[FILE_NAME.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1
End Sub
OR
Without opening the file if I try:
With Workbooks("C:Documents and SettingsjohnMy DocumentsmProjectfilename.xls").Worksheets("sheet1")
For Each thing ...
....
Next
End With
In both cases it gives me - Compile error: Syntax error, Expected expression.
I can also say that I definately don't mistake path, workbook's or worksheet's name
------------------------
If you're not quite sure that my explanations are clear I wrote some more below:
Reasons i want this:
It's just a lot of traffic/memory to Open/Activate/Close many Workbooks/Worksheets from 10MB files for just taking one or a few values to an UserForm :->
What I do:
I'm using several Workbooks to manage data. One of them consists of the Macro code (ThisWorkbook.) and the rest of the Workbooks are just tables with data I use. On UserForm with controls such as (ComboBoxes, CommandButtons, ListBoxes, Labels etc.) I find, visualize, compare and copy just the data I need from other Workbooks to ThisWorkbook(on a new worksheet) :->
The idea of my task is:
1. I have 10 files, each of them 10-20MB with data.
2. Now, I'm making 1 file with VBA code which analyse these 10 files and displays the information in it.
The general idea is that these 10 files are well structured but have many columns and rows and it's not convinient each time I need to find 3 numbers I need to open 10MB file, scroll 5 minutes, copy/paste the numbers, close the file...i just want an UserForm with several controls to do this job
Each of these 10MB files consist of let's say about 10000 rows and 100 columns. Between these rowns and columns there's data (or empty cell). Everytime I use one of these files I need different information. So, if I use the formula you gave me, I should copy exactly the same Workbooks in one file but with formulas.
With the macro code I just go through these rows and columns and find the specific data I need with For Each loops. Everytime I need different data. With 4 ComboBoxes I just select an year, a name, a code (by rows) and another code (by columns) and I get the needful info.
This info could be in one file, could be in many files, it could be in HZ45 cell (file 1), it could be in C5 cell (file 2), the next time I would need file1,2,3,4,5 with cells GF45, J7, KK88, DR8, Y90 etc. etc. etc. So, the problem is that every time I need different information from these 10MB files, each of them consist of 10000*100 cells*10 files = 10 0000 000 cells which I have to write the formula you gave me and it will become one 100mb excel file, which is no good.

I have 2 workbooks open and I want to set up formulas from one linking to the other. When I toggle on the task bar between the 2 workbooks they replace each other within the same window so I can only see one workbook at a time. How do I set it up so I can have 2 separate windows open at the same time, one with each workbook in it? I tried 'side by side' in one window but the viewing area is too small.

Work have just upgraded from 97 to 03 (very with the times ) and when opening multiple workbooks, 03 behaves differently.
With 97 I could select many sheets from the open window and excel would open them in alphabetical order. Now we've moved to 03, the order seems to be completely at random. It's a real pain, as the set up of the workbooks we use has everything linked together. In order to keep everything working sweet, various groups of workbooks need to be open at once. Previously it was easy to find a workbook in the task bar, but now they're scattered everywhere. We don't use a set list of workbooks - the selection we need to open varies quite a bit, but there's usually at least 20 or so.

I have a macro that at the moment just opens a workbook SpreadsheetA.xls,
Sub OpenA
Workbooks.Open Filename:=C:DocumentsSpreadsheetA.xls, UpdateLinks:=0
End Sub
SpreadsheetA.xls has a macro called "ExpectedRun" which is currently operated by clicking a commandbutton.
What is the code to run the "ExpectedRun" Macro in Sub OpenA?
Eventually I'll be opening a bunch of these workbooks, each with its own unique "ExpectedRun" macro, so is there any special command to call on the "ExpectedRun" macro for specifically the opened workbook?

I was wondering if anybody could catch an error in the following code. I have a file, let's call it a "Guide" which is opened by user and at this time this file has only one purpose - to help user choose the program. After clicking on the "Choose Program" command button, an Inputbox appears where the user types in a program. Then the code should open the file with this program and this is pretty much it. But something is not working with the code below, and I do not see anything wrong with it after looking at it for so long. It just does not do antthing. how to handle the "Choosing" option
Private Sub CmdBttn_ChooseProgram_Click()
Dim sFilename As String
On Error Goto ErrorHandler
sFilename = "Approval_" & Application.InputBox("Input Program")
Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:Documents and SettingsjsmithDesktop" & sFilename & ".xls"
ErrorHandler:
'if file name does not exist error message should display. Not defined yet
End Sub

I have a need to open a file from my companies intranet. My current method was to open said file via the method that the recorder gave me. However, I would like ot be able to open a said file without having to start open another workbook.
This is the path:
[url]
So the command is this:
Workbooks.Open [url]
Links are not actual links
So what I need to know. Is how can I open this file without opening a workbook. I haven't been able to use the VB "Open Statement" to open a file and I don't believe that I've been successfull using the Filesystem object either.

I have 25 files with certain worksheets that I need to move to 25 other files.
Worksheet 1, 2, 3 and 4 in Workbook A needs to be moved to Workbook A-2014 Worksheet 1, 2, 3 and 4 in Workbook B needs to be moved to Workbook B-2014 Worksheet 1, 2, 3 and 4 in Workbook C needs to be moved to Workbook C-2014 etc....
Is there a way to do this with a macro? Preferably I would like to do this automaticly - i.e. runing the macro from a master file that
1. Opens Workbook A copies the worksheets
2. Open Workbook A-2014 paste the sheets
3. Save and close Workbook A-2014
4. Close workbook A without saving
then doing the same for Workbook B, etc.

Basically the main workbook opens 2 files at a time performs a calculate in the main workbook and then copies and pastes information in 3 ranges. Then closes the two open workbooks and loops and performs same operations until it hits the maximum loops. My macro is as follows and I have 3 question in capital letters.

I am using the following to code with a warning message. However this warning message appears each time the macro is run? Can this be modified in such a manner so that it will show the warning message only once for first time it is run on each opening of WB?
Sub mln()
Dim a
a = MsgBox("Please note that this will replace formulae with value.So you are requested to run this on a copy of the file.", vbYesNo + vbExclamation, "Important")
If a = vbYes Then
For Each c In Selection
c.Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.Round(c / 1000000, 2)
Next c
End If

i've been working on VBA for a file that i'll be sending out to a bunch of people. There are three questions that i want answered after the file is opened...not allowing them to proceed until they enter data.
1. Please enter Management Unit.
2. Please enter GL Account. (US only)
3. Please enter Earnings Code. (Non US employees)
The first question MUST be answered with a 6 digit number. The 2nd and 3rd may or may not be answered. simply hitting is acceptable.
After that i would like the answered populated in 3 rows below the lastrow in column B. thus, if there is data in B50, then answer 1 in B53, answer 2 in B54, and answer 3 in B55.
And if "MU:" could proceed the answer to 1, "GL:" before answer 2, and "EC:" before answer 3.

i have a macro that performs the same search in many websites, opening a new ie window for any site. What i want now is opening a new tab in IE instead of a new window. To illustrate, here go some code:
VB:
Dim PartNo As String 'Declaro la cadena de texto que determina la busqueda
Public Sub BuscarPLCCenter()
Dim IE As InternetExplorer
[Code]....
I would like that all of these procedures opened a new IE tab to do the search, cause actually it opens like 15 windows at a time and is not user friendly enough.

I currently have a workbook that, when opened, automatically kicks off a macro (with a call from the Workbook_Open event in ThisWorkbook). I was to run that same called macro from a custom button that I put on a toolbar in Excel itself...which is pretty straight forward. However, when I do this, the macro kicks off twice...once from the button and once because the called macro's workbook opens and kicks off the macro with the Workbook_Open event.
So, what I was thinking was...is there a way to tell if a workbook is being opened by another workbook (by calling it's macro) or whether is was opened "normally (manually)"?

I have about 20 plus workbooks in a folder. Each has 52 sheets, Fridays date, that I want to copy all the data from each sheet.
Is there a way to open all workbooks in a folder and copy all data from on all the various sheets into a single workbook?
I'm trying to gather the info and make a small data base from the various books. I'd like not to have to call each workbook by name as the file names change or get added to.

I am trying to do something simple but not quite sure how to do it. I am using the GetImportFileName and then selecting information of one sheet from that file and copying to another workbook. I need to know how to then get back to the file I have opened to search the next sheet and so on. The problem I have is with this line.
Workbooks(FileName).Activate
Sub GetImportFileName()
Dim Finfo As String
Dim FilterIndex As Integer
Dim Title As String
Dim FileName As Variant
' Set up list of file filters
Finfo = "All Files (*.*),*.*"
' Display *.* by default
FilterIndex = 5
' Set the dialog box caption
Title = "Select a file to Import"
' Get the Filename
FileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(Finfo, FilterIndex, Title)
' Open the Filename
Workbooks.Open FileName
