Run Time Error 7: Out Of Memory. Selecting Shapes To Delete
May 24, 2005
i have a macro which is executing some cleaning up and then copying information from project sheets to a summary sheet. the individual project sheets are (currently still manually) copied/moved into the big(ger) overview workbook. to support the work with the individual project sheets they contain a macro that is assigned to some (three) shapes. one part of the cleanup is stripping the macros off the individual project sheets:
' remove the traffic-light macros of the project sheets from all sheets in case of unwanted or uncontrolled "infection"
For CurrentWS = 1 To SheetCount
Worksheets(CurrentWS).Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes.SelectAll
Selection.OnAction = ""
Worksheets(CurrentWS). Range("A1").Select
Next CurrentWS
on the line "ActiveSheet.Shapes.SelectAll" i get frequently (not always... ) a run time error '7': out of memory. it happens on at least two computers. i closed all other SW. according to the windows task manager information there should be plenty of memory free.
questions:
- how to get rid of the error message? OR:
- is there another (more smart) way to strip the ("imported") macros, while keeping the "main" marco alive that does not lead to an error message?

I am running an auto_open macro in an Excel 2007 workbook that is kicked off remotely by a job on an AS400. This process is run multiple times during the day, one right after another. I am experiencing with some of the jobs the "Out of Memory" error condition.

Trying to select multiple shapes based on shape properties. The missing piece is the code to select the shapes. The examples in the help use the 'Array' function with a list of shape names.
Is there a way to select a random set of shapes without using the Array function?
Or how does one build a list for use with the Array function?

I have a userform with about 20 multipage tabs, each of which has quite a few text and combo boxes. My problem is I think I have reached some physical limits for the number of controls on the userform. When I try and add code for the userform I get an "out of memory" error.
I thought I have seen some limits on the length of macro code before, but couldn't find them again. If anyone could let me know the limits on userform controls and the number of VBA lines allowed behind the userform, that would be great.
I have tried to put as much of the code as possible in public subs, but there is still a fair amount of code that is associated with things like the AfterUpdate function and I don't know of any other place to put this code. Please let me know if there is another way to put this code in so I don't run out of room.

I am using the below macro to copy the rows (Starting from Row 2 excluding header row) to another sheet (Starting from Row 2 excluding the header row). I have a huge number of rows which i need to copy to the new sheet (crossing 1.5 Lakh records) which is probably causing "Out of Memory Error: 7" to occur when i execute the below code.

I am trying to convert cells (all in column D) which are separated by "~" into columns. Unfortunately, running the text to columns command on several rows at a time can cause Excel to panic with an out of memory error (error #7 etc.).
The file is ~100mb and contains 500k-700k rows (I have 4GB of RAM so I know this is more a limit of Excel's 2GB RAM constraint).
Can you please help me write a macro to text to column convert each cell in column D?
I tried a macro which started with a for loop, and called the function for each cell individually, but even this led to an out of memory exception after 156,000 rows (although the same macro worked fine on a similar sheet with 700,000 rows).
Are there any other ways of clearing the Excel buffer/temporary space during the function calls to avoid causing Excel to crash?

I create and delete a conditional formatting rule programmatically. The issue I am facing is when I try to delete the conditional formatting rule that I programmatically created, I ran into the following errors:
1. Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC
2. Attempted to read or write protected memory. this is often indication that other memory is corrupt.
I get these errors only when I have user created conditional formatting rules prior to deleting – I don’t want to delete all conditional formatting rules using FormatConditions.Delete(). Further, I can’t use FormatConditions[index].Delete() because I don’t have a index reference for the one that was created from the application.
Note: I have checked the Trust access to the VBA project object model.

I have been researching how to create a macro (that will attach to a button), that will delete ALL Shapes and Pictures in a range of cells. So far I have only met with limited results. The Range can be hard coded into the script as it will not change. Does anyone have a script written already they would care to post? I am using Excel 2003.

I've written a macro that plots a graph directly in a white painted sheet, using lines and arrows figures.
The problem is that everytime I plot something, the xls-file gets larger, and the size doesn't change if I delete the figures. Since there's a lot of lines and arrows in my plot, I use 'Select All' and Edit-> Remove and this removes all figures, or at least for the eye. I suspect they are still left there somewhere, since the size grows with every new plot and since that sheet seems to have gotten a bit slower, when moving between cells.
Am I correct, or is there another reason for the size/ speed issue? If I my theory is correct, how do you permanently delete these "invisible" figures?

I have a macro that does a solver routine. I have another macro that runs this solver, then copies and pastes new inputs, then runs the solver, then copies the results and pastes them somewhere, then copies new inputs, etc. It is a long process and it worked fine a few days ago. Now when I run it, about 90% of the way through and then excel crashes. The error says:
Solver: An expected internal error occurred, or available memory was exhausted.
What can I do?

I have the following code:
For Each wShape In ActiveSheet.Shapes
wShape.Delete
Next wShape
This works great to delete the buttons and rectangles I have on my worksheet, but it is also deleting charts. Is there any way to avoid the chart deletion?

I have a workbook in which certain shape objects (2 command buttons and a combobox) can be present on a worksheet if another macro has been run. When a worksheet is closed and another opened, or the workbook closed, I need the shapes to be cut if they are present. There are other shapes on the sheet which must not be deleted.
Each shape has a defined name which is the worksheet name followed by DD, GetStats and Rfrsh
I have tried the code below but get 'The item with the specified name was not found' error message if the one or more of the shapes are not present. The code works for any of the specified shapes that are present.
Private Sub Workbook_SheetDeactivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Range("f5:i17").ClearContents
If Not Sh.Shapes(Sh.Name & "DD") Is Nothing Then Sh.Shapes(Sh.Name & "DD").Cut
If Not Sh.Shapes(Sh.Name & "GetStats") Is Nothing Then Sh.Shapes(Sh.Name & "GetStats").Cut
If Not Sh.Shapes(Sh.Name & "Rfrsh") Is Nothing Then Sh.Shapes(Sh.Name & "Rfrsh").Cut
End Sub
I am sure I am not using the 'If Not' and 'Is Nothing' properly but can't figure out how it should be.

I have an active x control command button on the same sheet as some shapes (lines,circles) which are generated from some parameters. I want to be able to delete the current shapes so I can plot the next shape. Below is the delete shapes part of the code, not sure how to complete the code.
Currently, the box is getting deleted as well as the shapes
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim line1_Beginx As Single, line1_beginy As Single, line1_endx As Single, line1_endy As Single
Dim line2_Beginx As Single, line2_beginy As Single, line2_endx As Single, line2_endy As Single
[Code]....
'Calculate positions of line vertices for plots
line1_Beginx = 1000
line1_beginy = 1000
line1_endx = 1000 + CD_2
line1_endy = 1000
[Code]....

I'm using a macro that picks up on changes in a active cell.. This is the code
HTML Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range("A:A")) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Value <> "" Then
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Log").Cells(Target.Row, 2).Formula = "=Today()"
End If
End If
End Sub
There's a problem with this code, when select from a range and hit delete, i get a error mismatch. I want to have the macro ignore when i select active cell range of greater then 1.
