I am currently using the following code to lauch the "save as" window.
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show
But I would like it to default to a poticular folder not the one of the current file location i.e. C:my documentswork
The code snippet below is to import a sheet into my main template. Right now, the code looks for the file in the same directory as the template, if the file is not there, a message box pops up advising the user when OK is pressed (see red lines), the workbook closes. However, in order to make my program more user friendly, I would like to add some more functionality to the code, so I would like to have a windows file browser window pop up where the user can browse for the file and select it in whatever directory it is.
Can this window be created in VBA?
Sub ImportFile()
Dim sourceFile As String
Dim firstDestFile As String
sourceFile = "Client Data Dashboard Template.xlsm"

is it possible to configure Excel in order to save the Hyperlink path for a file with absolute path and non relative?
I notice that the hyperlink is ....pdf ry.pdf
if I change the position of the file excel there is a problem!
I would like to save es. d:invoichepdf ry.pdf
I have the following
Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
SaveRow
On Error Goto ErrorHandler
ThisFile = Sheets("Data"). Range("B2").Value
ActiveWorkbook. SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:Documents and SettingsMy Documents" & ThisFile, FileFormat:= _
xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False _
, CreateBackup:=False
Workbooks.Close
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox ("Error locating file. " + Err.Description)
End Sub
This saves a workbook with the File Name based on a cell in a worksheet in the above Path Name.
Is there a way that I can change this code to ask for the Path Name with the File Name, from the worksheet, as a default.
I have 120 sheets in my workbook and I only need 5 of them to save when there are changes, the other 115 are were data is pulled from. Is it possible to tell excel not to look at a sheet when it saves? I'm just after making it save faster.
This is going to be a workbook that " moves" a round a lot, so I want to the 115 sheets in the same workbook.
I'm trying to get the below code to save the workbook before the macro continues. I would like for the Save As browser window to be displayed so that the user can select a location to save in.
It would be great if it could maintains the existing name and file type.
The code I attempted below will save the file I just don't know where to!!
Code:
Sub Clear_Quarter_Call()
'Activates password message box
If UCase(InputBox("Enter Password 'This Action Cannot Be Undone' ")) "2222" Then Exit Sub

I have two wide screens, and I stretch excel over both of them to gain the most useable space. Sometimes I save a file while it's on the right screen. This causes problems for my boss, because she opens the file on her computer and it opens offscreen way to the right. I could have sworn there was a setting in excel to save or not save the workbook's window position, but now I can't find it.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am creating a training records matrix which will be used by 30 or so locations. each one may want to save in a different location. I would like to save the chosen location as an entry in a cell so this can be accessed by other macros.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI want a Macro which will copy my workbook and paste it into a new workbook. Then it will automatically save it under the SAME name as the original and the SaveAs Box must show up (for cosmetic fixes). It is important it asks if it wants to save it under the same name. Example: My file is called "Summary_2008" and when I hit the Macro it will do those things and it will ask me if I want to save it in the SAME directory under the name "Summary_2008" (I will only add a number then).
(The macro must know how to read the original name since I have 7 possible filenames - it depends on which company I choose, that is why it is important it is saved under the same name)

I'd like a macro that will:
Save my workbook
Then
Open the SaveAs box with the path already pointing to a specific directory and with the Name and file format already entered (.xls)
This is basically to save time navigating through our folder structure (which is a real mess). I don't want to automatically saveas the file as the target folder will change each month and the last part of the file name will chance (month). So I'd like a bit of flexibility rather than total automation.
The macro is working fine but what I want to change is the path for saving the file. The path that I would like it saved to is in the worksheet "NEW ORDER_" cell "N2"
Sub RENAME2()
Dim strWbKill As String
Dim myName As String
myName = ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator 'copy to same folder that file is in
myName = myName & Application.Cells(3, 7) & "_" 'cell G3 Style

I'm trying to have a macro that opens the save as window, places the name in cell f5 and then allows you to save the workbook with cell f5 as the filename. I have managed to get the save as window to come up and the cell f5 as the name, but when I press save is doesn't. Here is what I have (also, is there a way to direct this to a specific folder).

I've go a shared Workbook, which will be distributed among several users and stored in different places. The workbook uses the following
Sub savemeas()
Worksheets("data").Visible = True
Sheets("data").Copy
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook. SaveAs Filename:="d:" & Range("a1").Value, _
FileFormat:=xlText, CreateBackup:=False
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=True
End Sub
to save the sheet "data" as a text file with a name based on the value of cell a1. All I need is to modify the code so that the target path would not be
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="d:" & Range("a1").Value
but be the same as the source Workbook's - so that I wouldn't have to modify the code for each user separatly, because the sheet would alwayas be saved in the same folder as the current path of the source workbook.
I'm trying to save a copy an excel file in the same directory of the original file. The code is pretty standard but it does not work if the file is stored in C: (only c: ) Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong? Anyways here is the code in case someone is interested in trying it out:
Sub CreateCopy()
ChDrive ThisWorkbook.Path
ChDir ThisWorkbook.Path
fileSaveName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename( _
fileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls", _

When a file is currently open, and the user selects "Save as", it takes them to the files native directory. (Where it was last saved).
If the user has that same file open, opens another file from a different directory, goes back to the first file and selects "Save as", it takes them to the location where the last file was opened from.

How to save a file, with file- name. but the directory is to be read in worksheet "towns" in Cell1 (brussels) and filename in worksheet "names" in cell B2 (i.e. winter), so it saves to c:russelswinter.txt as a wordpad or kladblok txt file, that keeps a number, so each time we push a button "go back from worksheet names to worksheet towns" the "number" that is saved in the txt document goes up by value +1. In Flemisch, the "old" code goes as follows, and saves the number in the txt file Factuurnummer7.txt. But I want that the file name (here: FactuurNummer7) can be a variable text issue, which has to be read - as already noticed - in cell B2 (with the word WINTER).

I am using an XY scatter chart that displays the planned path and an actual path as I go. The planned path is set up in 100' increments and goes 12000' and actual path varies along the way.
My data that I use is the Northing (ft), Easting (ft) and Vertical Section (ft) for both the planned path and actual path.
I was wondering if there was an east way to get that information from the chart or if there is a formula that would allow me to calculate distance between the two points by using the data I use for my chart.
I want to run a macro to separate File Name and Path from the given complete path
For Example
Code:
In Column A : Given Complete Path " C:MainFolderRecordsSubFilesFile1Record.pdf
I need it separeted like
Code:
In Column B :File Name = Record.pdf
In Column C :File Path = C:MainFolderRecordsSubFilesFile1

I have created a form where people will take a survey, and the responses from that survey will be carried over to another worksheet that will analyze their results.
For each question in the survey, I want them to choose only 1 of 2 responses. For example:
Place and X next to the statement that describes your opinion most often:
__ I prefer to work with others.
__ I prefer to work alone.
The responder will choose either the first or second response, but I do not know how to limit it so they can't answer both. I want a way to limit the worksheet so if they type an X in the first field, they are unable to type one in the second field, and vice versa.
Is there any way to limit the responders ability so that if they choose to respond to the first statement, they are not able to also respond with the second statement, and vice versa, while not affecting the results page that uses the IF formula =IF(sheet1!A8="X","X","")
