View 2 RepliesIn a workbook made in Excel 2003, I have the following for a UserForm:
Private Sub UserForm_Activate
Me.Calendar1.Value = Date
End Sub
I copied this workbook to a computer with Excel 2007 and it bombs out at "Date"
It comes up with a compile error, "Can't find project or library"
In the references window (Tools, References) it has the "Missing: Ref Edit Control" checked and the location at the bottom of this window states "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice11REFEDIT.DLL".
The reference to Office11 is from the computer with Office 2003 as the computer with Office 2007 has Office12.
There is another "Ref Edit Control" in the References window and when I check it and browse to the Office12 folder, highlight REFEDIT.Dll and click on open and in the references window on OK it comes up with "Name conflicts with existing module, project or object library". I have tried to delete the "Missing: Ref Edit Control", change the priority and change the reference in the missing control to Office12 but all to no avail.
How can I change the reference to the Ref Edit Control from Office11 to Office12?
I'm getting the following error:
"Object library invalid or contains references to object definitions that could not be found"
I wasn't getting that error last night and I'm not sure what I may have done to cause this error.
It seems to be cause by code running on one sheet of my workbook, but I'm not really sure about that. I'm still a bit of a novice at VBA.
I'm using Excel 2002 SP3 and I'm running MS XP Home as my OS.
Do you have any ideas what can cause this error and/or how to trace down the offending objects/code?
how you know which object library to add to references when you want to automate an application?
for example Adobe acrobat.
or internet explorer ( ie).
I know that the .dll for ie id shdocvw (an i know it's explicitly listed under internet controls) but how would i know this is it wasn't listed?
Also, correct me if i'm wrong, but usung the shdocvw.dll will only give you access to the main controls of Ie nd you would need to add a HTML library to do anything use full. How do you know if there are other libraries available can make the 'usefulness' of one library more useful?
Our office has different versions of Office on different computers. We have a file containing macros specifically macros that interact with Outlook requiring the Outlook Object Library. If a 2013 opens and saves the file all the libraries get changed to 15.0. Then a 2010 Office opens the file ... the Excel Objects and Office Objects libraries change to 14.0 because of 2010, but then we getting the error about missing library. Instead of loading the Outlook 14.0 Object Library like it's supposed to the systems tries to find the 15.0, but can't find it and throws the error.
I have to manually go in to References and uncheck the Missing 15.0 outlook library and find and check the 14.0 one and click ok then the macros work fine.
My question is why do the other object libraries automatically change depending on the version of office and the outlook one doesn't.
Interestingly enough this doesn't happen the other way e.g. 2010 to 2013. Ones the file is saved using the 2010 with the 14.0 references 2013 has no issues converting those references to 15.0.
I am trying to run a macro that i have copied from another workbook (which works fine) and when i try to run the macro i am getting a 'compile error' which says "Can't Find Object or Library" and takes into VB editor which highlights the word "Trim", which is part of a formula. What does this mean? I can't understand why the same macro will work in another workbook but not in this one. Below is the full code, I would have attached the workbook but it would not work for you as it opens and saves files that you would not have. Hopefully someone can understand from the code.

This has worked fine for the last 2 years or so but all of a sudden it doesn't want to work. The error message is that it "Can't find project or library."
Code:
Dt = Format(Range("C19").Value + 6, "DDMMYYYY")
Dt is dimmed as string and Dt is used to rename the new sheet.
I have looked througn the reference library and things seem ok.
This happens in Excel 2003 with Win8 and in excel 2013 with Win7.
i'm using a user form and i have the microsoft forms 2.0 Object Library checked. i have sent to another user, and i can't compile, when i took at this vba tools reference, microsoft forms 2.0 Object Library checked is missing (and not available in the drop down)...?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI added this code to a userform initialize & now I get a message ' can't find object or library '. Which library do I have to activate in Tools, References.
Dim x As Integer
ComboBox1.AddItem "0"
For x = 1 To 20 Step 1
ComboBox1.AddItem Format(x, "0")
Next x
ComboBox1.Value = Sheet2.Range("E1").Value
ComboBox2.AddItem "0"
For x = 2 To 90 Step 2
ComboBox2.AddItem Format(x, "0")
Next x
ComboBox2.Value = Sheet2.Range("E2").Value
The word Format is highlited in userform initilize.
I need to add a Reference to the "The Microsoft Visual Basic Extensibility Library 5.3" using VBA code in an Excel spreadsheet. I know how to do it going to Tools...References select the library etc, but I'd rather do it using VBA code so I don't have to do this extra step.

I've added an word object to my excel sheet as an icon. The only problem is that it shows the word icon then under it says 'Microsoft Word Document'. This might be an obvious and silly question. But how do I Rename the 'Microsoft Word Document' to a title of my choice?

i created a spreadsheet which, using vba, disallows sheet deletion (works a dream); problem since has been that i cannot delete any sheets in any workbook anymore, and even a completely empty unsaved spreadsheet will try to open the worksheet containing the original code...
i've tried the following:
- deleted the workbook excel is trying to reference
- ensured there are no macros in excel
- ensured there is no vba code whatsoever
- checked the defined names (nothing)
- checked the vba objects
- debugged the "delete sheet" (didn't work)
- uninstalled all of office 2003, then cleaned registry, then reinstalled from scratch
- all of the above again
- searched about a zillion internet postings
Here is the scoop.
I have a userform that has a lot of textboxes that are formatted as date fields. Some of them have a default value and are locked=true, enabled=false. For those ones I have a checkbox next to them so the user can unlock and enable the textbox if they so desired.
Well the checkboxes and textboxes have a similar naming scheme, but are not numeric (they are not CheckBox1, CheckBox2, etc). As an example they one grouping is Cust1RelExpUnlock (this is the checkbox) and Cust1RelExpDateBox (this is the textbox). The difference in their name is the last portion (Unlock or DateBox).
Now when the checkbox is selected the code I want looks something like this:
Code:
Private Sub Cust1RelExpUnlock_Click()UnlockDateBox Cust1RelExpUnlockEnd Sub
Where UnlockDateBox is the function I'm having difficulty with and is supposed to be generic enough to work on any grouping assuming my naming scheme is consistent.
Using a combination of the Left() and Len() functions I can get the unique aspects of the name. Then concatenate it with "DateBox" as required. However I'm getting type mismatch errors, or object required erros. I tried various combinations of Dim _____ As Object, As Control, As Textbox... with no success.
I'm getting the correct name as a string, how do I make it work so I can reference the textbox.enabled/.locked?
Code:
Private Sub UnlockDateBox(Ck)
Dim CkDate As Control 'Tried control, textbox, object
Set CkDate = ProjectInputForm.MultiPage1.Object ' tried just using ProjectInputForm, and Object
Dim CkName As String
[Code] .........
Is it possible to make a textbox or combobox the reference of a formula in a cell?
I know that you can just do this on VBA, but if possible I don't want to do that in this particular case.
Is there any formula to write digits convert into word ?
Eg: - Can 1020 Convert into "One thousand twenty" with the help of any formula ?

On the data sheet I attached you can see easily what I am trying to do:
The macro should do something like this basically:
Column A there is a entry like "L110E (CST_PRG-Wheel Loaders-E series models)"
Lets say we have 10.000 entries more or less like this.
Macro should do this:
* Take first word for example in this case "L110E" and copy into column D same row.
* Take second word's second part in this case only "PRG" and copy into column B same row.
* Take the 3rd word between - - in this case only "Wheel Loaders" and copy into column C.
I have created an Excel spreadsheet that collects info from a userform; we are using this as a issue log.
However, at the same time, upon completion of the log, the engineer then needs to fill out the essentially the same information in a Word form for sending off to the customer. I was thinking that perhaps this could be done by using a mail merge but from past experience this generally isn't very user friendly or quick.
Is it possible to automate this somehow using VBA such that when Enter is clicked on the form, not only does it fill in the next available line in the log spreadsheet but it also opens Word and populates the required fields with this same info?
I'm trying to make a spreadsheet template that will find and replace all instances of a given word with a bold or highlighted version. However, I do not know how to make this process passive and automated. That is, as soon as I type certain words, they should be auto-corrected. Is there a way to set excel so it will recognize certain words and replace them? Is there a way to do this in the settings? I don't think a macro is the right answer in this case, so I put it in the general thread.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to create a hyperlink in a cell that is the result of a simple reference formula. i.e. if cell A1 on worksheet A is a formula "='SheetB"!A1", can I create a hyperlink automatically from SheetA Cell A1 to 'SheetB'!A1?
I would like for the hyperlink to be is cell A1, so I beleive that would be a macro / VBA solution.
Also, is there a formula solution that could go in B1 "=hyperlink(A1)", where the formula will then recognize the referenced cell (rather that the formula result) and hyperlink to SheetB:A1?
Can anyone help? I need to achieve the following involving the insertion of rows from a specified value reference within the worksheet to which the rows are being added.
The original data would look like:
ABCDEFG1PeterABC, DEF, GHI32DavidABC, DEF23SamABC, DEF, GHI, JKL44TomABC, DEF25
The number of rows to be inserted under each entry is listed in column "C" (which is a count of the separate entries in column "B".
The output data following the application of the "solution" would need to look as follows:
ABCDE1PeterABC, DEF, GHI3ABC2DEF3GHI4DavidABC, DEF2ABC5DEF6SamABC, DEF, GHI, JKL4ABC7DEF8GHI9JKL10TomABC, DEF2ABC11DEF
Where the specified number of rows have been inserted underneath the original entry and the separate values in column "B" have been listed in consequtive cells, relating to their original entry in column "D".
Can anyone suggest code to achieve this outcome?
