Run-time Erro '445' : Object Doesn't Support This Action
Nov 3, 2008
While clicking a button in the excel, am getting a run-time error. Everybody's need is urgent even I understand boss. Anybody else who is in the same shoes as mine. Here goes the solution:
I was using the following macro on Excel 2000, 2002 & 2003 for many years without a fuss. Recently, I upgraded to Excel 2007. When I run the macro now, I get the following error message:- Run-time error 445 Object doesn't support this action.
Sub test() With Application.FileSearch .NewSearch .LookIn = "C:Documents and SettingsDesktopCommercial Database" .SearchSubFolders = True .Filename = "*.*" .TextOrProperty = "BANK" .MatchAllWordForms = True .FileType = msoFileTypeAllFiles If .Execute() > 0 Then MsgBox "There were " & .FoundFiles.Count & _ " file(s) found." End If End With End Sub
Additional info:- The 1st line of my code which is With Application.FileSearch is highlighted in yellow when I run this macro.
Not sure if I am having a brain fade or not but the following code gives an ‘Object doesn’t support this action’ error (at the ‘with..’ line) and I can’t figure out why.
Sub test() With Application.FileSearch .NewSearch .LookIn = "D:" .FileType = "*.*"
When I execute this, I got error run-time error 445, object does not support this action. I am using window vista, microsoft office 2007. How can i change the code to make it workable?
When I run my code (which opens Excel from Access) it does everything it is supposed to but I then get the above error but I do not get the error if I open the VBA window and then run the code. (The code is password protected, not sure if this is relevenat though).
The macro below is stored within worksheet "Data Lookup". When the value in B1 changes, the code is executed but fails when it comes to the paste function. I get a "Object doesn't support this property or method".
Also, it appears the copying is not occuring correctly. It is supposed to copy from the Data3 worksheet but, in fact, its copying from the Data Lookup worksheet. Does storing this macro within a worksheet prevent the macro from moving between sheets?
Sub Worksheet_Calculate() If Range("B1").Value = Range("N1").Value Then End Sheets("Data3").Select Cells(13, 6).Copy Sheets("Data Lookup").Select Cells(23, 11).Paste End Sub
I'm getting a really weird error in that I can't reproduce it. It sometimes occurs when I open the document and sometimes not. HEre is the Private Sub Workbook_Open() Dim dic, Dn As Range, rng As Range
Set rng = Sheets("Moisture").Range("B2:B1000")
Set dic = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") With dic For Each Dn In rng If Not .exists(Dn.Value) Then .Add Dn.Value, ""
End If Next Dn Set wksPayment = Sheet10 wksPayment.ListBox2.List = .keys End With End Sub
The line that hangs up is the wksPayment.Listbox2.List = .keys line. Any ideas or ways to test or further figure out what is causing the problem?
I'm trying to write some code to make an existing chart display the correct series of data. However, on the ".SeriesCollection..." lines, it gives me the error "Object does not support this property or method." I'm using a Bar-Line graph, if it makes any difference.
I have a spreadsheet for payroll. The last column is for net pay. I enter this by hand when I get it back from the payroll tech. There are no formulas in this column. When done entering these figures, I click on "save". Then I close the file. From past experience with this sprdsht, I have found that it doesn't always save this column. It saves all the other info. I have entered in the sprdsht, but not this column. So, I have to re-enter everything in this column and "save" again. Close the sheet, then re-open it to be sure it got saved. Why won't it save this column of info. the first time?
I want the users to store time only in some of the textboxes in a form so I have used control tip text for those textboxes. But i want to write vba code for displaying the error message if the users don't enter time in hh:mm:ss in those textboxes.
I keep on getting the "Run Time Error 424 object required" yet the code seems to look fine .....I'm asking for it to look for the date and have stated which cell/range ... I don't get it.
I have an Excel workbook that I have built in user-level security to log into. If login is successful I have code like this:
If 'successful conditions Goto Success 'more code here that doesn't matter
Success: 'verfies that it is a new project lgCreateProject = MsgBox("Would you like to create a new project?", vbYesNo) 'opens a userform if new project If lgCreateProject = vbYes Then frmQuoteInfo.Show Unload Me
End Sub
If the user signs on successfully and is not starting a new project then they get the error noted in the title of my thread.
Then the change event in the ComboBox of TB5 stopped working with the above error message.
Here's the
Private Sub TB5_Change()
'Loads TB6 thru TB16 from TB5's RowSource i = 0 If Not TB5.ListIndex < 0 Then For i = 1 To 12 If Not i = 1 Then Me.Controls("TB" & i + 4).Text = TB5.List(TB5.ListIndex, i - 1) Next i End If
End Sub
The segment that is erroriung out is:
Me.Controls("TB" & i + 4).Text = TB5.List(TB5.ListIndex, i - 1)
The first time it errored debug said there was a type mismatch. That only lasted about 15 min before it changed error message to the one in the title. Debug highlighted this same code segment for both.
TB5's original RowSource is "FoodList_2" which is 12 colums wide and variable number of rows. After picking the item from the first column this code fills in the rest of the data for the chosen row. I'm not sure how wide the rowsource is with the find code.
I am running regression statistics for several different columns of data. In order to help me analyze the data, I am organizing the output on a specified worksheet called "Best Subset." I have stored the column names of the data used in different regression calls in a range array called Reg_Labels. The Reg_Labels array may contain one, two, or sixteen column labels in one specific location (where each column label is stored in a separate cell). All possible column names are stored in the Labels array (each name is stored in a separate location). I basically need to check to see which column names were present in a particular array location in Reg_Labels. When a column name from a cell in Reg_Labels(I-1) matches a column name from Labels(K), I am placing an "X" on the designated spreadsheet to indicate which variable(s) has been used.
My For..Each Loop will not work for some odd reason, and I need to figure out why. I keep getting an error that an object is required. I need each cell in Reg_Labels(I-1) compared with Labels(K), and I thought the For..each loop would be the easiest way to do it.
I just don't understand what's going on if C is a range object and Reg_Labels(I-1) is a range object. Wouldn't this loop supposedly cycle through every cell in Reg_Labels(I-1)?
Have I messed up some sort of object reference? ....
Code below. I need it to NOT run if the sheet week2 doesn't exist. Currently it gives a runtime error '9' out of range. This is due tot he sheet not being present because sometimes it is not generated.
Code:
Sub RemoveColWeek2sheet() Dim ColNo As Integer Dim rng As Range Set rng = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Week2").UsedRange
I am trying to generate excel report output from access by click of a button. Part of the code is as follows:
Dim lngColumn As Long Dim xlx As Object, xlw As Object, xlc As Object Dim DBS As DAO.Database Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Dim blnEXCEL As Boolean, blnHeaderRow As Boolean
blnEXCEL = False
'If we do not want the first row we set Header to false blnHeaderRow = False
'Establish an EXCEL application object On Error Resume Next Set xlx = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
If Err.Number <> 0 Then Set xlx = CreateObject("Excel.Application") blnEXCEL = True End If Err.Clear
I worked on development on a server and worked fine. However when I have moved the code and database to the desktop of mine I am having the following error in the line
i get this error on the line in bold Method Add' of object 'CommandBarControls' failed (run-time error '-2147467259'). im not sure why its giving that problem, but im not very fluent in custom toolbars.

I am trying to build a macro which will format the columns of a spreadsheet - basically it inserts some columns, writes formulas and highlights them. Here is a code I have got so far...
When I try to run this I get a run time error 1004 - Method 'Range' of 'Object'_Global' failed. The part of the code Range("N2:N").FormulaR1C1 = "=(RC[-7]/RC[-2])"
is highlighted in the debugger.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening, also it would be great if you could suggest better ways of writing this code - as I am new to vba programming and most of my macros are built using the recorder and then 'working' on them.
I have an interesting error that only happens when there is one row of data in the worksheet (sheet2 or "Half Payout"). Rows 1 & 2 are headers, row 3 is when the data starts - if any. With either no rows of data or more than one the coding works just fine. Here is the exact error message I'm getting: Run-time error '1004': Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed.
The following code is supposed to sort the rows of data when opened and then activate the first open cell below B2.
I am trying to create a macro in my personal macro book such that whenever any workbook is opened the calculation settings (tools, options, calculation tab) are set to semiautomatic and do not calculate before save. The macro works when I am opening Excel itself (Book1) but when I open an already saved file it gives me
Run-time error '1004'
Method 'Range' of object'_Global' failed
From there I choose Debug, the VBE window comes up, and I hit F5 to continue the code without doing any actual debugging. Here is the code that I am using. This is in the Personal Macro book on the "This Workbook" section....
I am not familiar with Excel/VBA and I tried a couple of suggestions with no luck. The excel file contains three forms and three modules and it is intended to calculate and build Electrical panels. I didn't write the code. I am just trying to fix the error. I was trying to attach the .xls file but it is 178 KB. How can I post the whole code.
I have constructed the following code to set the print area of worksheets that have been selected to print to the range referenced in a worksheet level named range "xPrintArea". This named range is set using the OFFSET function. The procedure also sets the left footer to be a copyright notice that is also contained in a cell referenced by a named range.
Set oPrintArea = Range(sPrintAreaName)
is generating the error "Methd 'Range' of object '_Global' failed".
Note that the line
Set oCopyrightNotice = Range("CopyrightNotice")
does not generate this error. From what I've been able to determine from other research on this forum and others, I believe the problem is that I need to more fully qualify the object which Range(sPrintAreaName) is referencing. I've already tried to use
Set oPrintArea = wkSht.Range(sPrintAreaName).................
I have some VBA code that in one portion of it an Outlook e-mail is created and the active workbook is attached and sent. This code used to work on Excel & Outlook 2003, but now in Excel & Outlook 2007 I'm getting the error:
FY If I comment out the Set OutApp... and If OutApp.... lines and uncomment the Set OutApp create object line, I still get the same error.
Dim OutApp As Object Dim OutMail As Object Dim SigString As String Dim Signature As String
'Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set OutApp = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application") If OutApp Is Nothing Then Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
OutApp.Session.Logon Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
