Move & Rename PDF File
Jun 26, 2008I've written most of the code that I need... the problem is that I don't know how to properly select, move and rename the pdf from excel.
I have a popup to select the file, and I know what I want it to be called, what I need is the code to move and rename a non-excel file from inside a macro.

View 8 Replies View RelatedRename A File That Is Being Pumped Out By Another Program
Jan 25, 2008I am using the following code to rename a file that is being pumped out by another program.
Sub CopyAndDelete()
Name "C:Program FilesPATH1234567890_3.tvr" As "C:Program FilesPATHNEWNAME.tvr"
'
End Sub
The problem I have is the the file being pumped has a varible name. The nly constant is the _#.tvr. The first 10 digits are random numbers.
I have persued the "rhymn and reason" for the file name with the vendor and have been told it can not be changed and is random. The "_#.tvr" piece comes from the number of reports I have generated for the day. So I have 5 prefined reports that run each day and can recreate the _0.tvr through _4.tvr but the first 10 are random each time.
I would like for the rename to "ignore" the first 10 digits then looking at the file name.
Rename Worksheet With Opening The File
Dec 12, 2008I have the following code, which I use to open up a .xls file generated from Crystal Reports:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim fexport1 As String ' variables for the exported file
Dim fexport2 As String
Dim wb1 As String 'variables to change between the opened workbooks
Dim wb2 As String
strTemp = "Please Choose The Exported File"
MsgBox strTemp
fexport1 = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls)")
If InStr(fexport1, "False") = 0 Then
Workbooks.Open fexport1
wb1 = ActiveWorkbook.Name
Else
strTemp = "Operation Canceled"
End If
The problem is that Crystal Reports generates the file with an invalid worksheet name (it contains a backslash) and I do not have access to modify the Crystal Report. Althought the file can be automatically repaired by Excel when manually opened, the macro chokes and the "Application.DisplayAlerts = False" does not fix it. The only solution I can think of is renaming the worksheet without opening the file.
Macro To SaveAs And Rename A File
Oct 15, 2009I think my code is close but I keep getting an error "Run-time error '1004': Application-defined or object-defined error"
I am trying to rename the active workbook by appending yesterday's date onto the filename, using the Save As.
I might be going about this all wrong anyway. My user needs the macro to save, rename, and close the renamed copy of the workbook but to leave the original workbook open. I'm trying to do it in steps so I might be doing this the hard way. However, my code to Save As is below:
Sub SaveAsRename()
Dim CurrentPath As String
Dim CurrentFileName As String
Dim NewFileName As String
Dim Today As Date
Today = Int(Range("A3") - 1) 'Cell A3 contains the =Today() formula
CurrentPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
CurrentFileName = "QU Backhaul Dispatch "
NewFileName = CurrentFileName & Today & ".xlsm"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=CurrentPath & "" & NewFileName
End Sub
My Locals window has all of the correct values right up to the ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs which is where it fails.

Jan 26, 2007Is it possible to save a file with a date taken from a cell? For example:
I have an Excel file opened, in the cell A1 there is a date: 12.04.2003 (or any other date format). I want an Excel to save this document, but after I check the date of creation (modification) of the file under Windows, I want to receive the result 12.04.2004 (or any other, that was in the cell "A1" before pressing SAVE button).
I imagine, that there would have to be some external script running, that would change the system date for a moment, just after detection of pressing SAVE command.
