Runtime Error 1004 When Opening Excel From Access Upon Second Execution
Jul 16, 2014
The following script runs fine the first time I click the command button on an Access form but after I close the Excel workbook and click the command button again to edit a new spreadsheet, I get the follow error message:
Run-time error '1004': Method "Columns' of object'_Global failed.
It fails here:
Code:
Columns("H:H").Select
The script is being run from Access 2007 and is opening a spreadsheet in Excel 2007 (but using xls extension)
Code:
Private Sub IdahotoExcel_Click()
Dim dlg As FileDialog
Dim idahofile As String
I am running excel 2007 thin client. in attempting to refresh a query, I have encountered this error message: "run time error 1004 Incomplete datasource". The four line macro is as follows:
Code: Sub RefreshFamily() Sheets("Family").QueryTables("Family_refresh").EnableRefresh = True Sheets("Family").QueryTables("Family_refresh").Refresh BackgroundQuery:=True Sheets("Family").QueryTables("Family_refresh").EnableRefresh = False End Sub
Where the named range "Family refresh" is defined as :
I have been given a macro recorded on a mac and it works fine with Mac Excel 2011. Unfortunately, I need to make it to work on a windows machine, but it comes up with an error message "macro unable to set width property of the window class. Run-time error 1004". When I press debug it takes me to the line .Width = 1456.
Below is the chunk of the code that becomes highlighted when pressing debug.
With ActiveWindow .Width = 1456 .Height = 795 End With
1.) I have excel 2007 and when I recorded the macro yesterday it worked just fine, but today it's coming up with the box to update values. The macro is set to open up the vendor assignment sheet and do a vlookup against the clerk and then return the information to the original sheet and then copy paste special values. 2.) Today it's also doing the calculating thing in the corner using 2 processors which it has not done before. 3.) Run-time error '1004': PasteSpecial method of Range class failed.
[code]' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+r ' Dim OriginalSheet As Workbook Set OriginalSheet = ActiveWorkbook Columns("B:B").Cut With Columns("A:A") .Insert Shift:=xlToRight End With
I am using this code (below) to hide certain rows or columns depending on what number is entered. Everything is working fine and I am at the point where I would like to share this excel sheet with others but I would like to lock certain cells so that others cannot alter the formulas. As soon as I lock the cells and then enter values into the unlocked cells, I get the "run-time error '1004': Unable to set the Hidden property of the Range class".
I am using excel 2010 x64.
Code: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B3")) Is Nothing Then If Range("B3").Value = 0 Then Columns("G:P").EntireColumn.Hidden = True Else If Range("B3").Value = 1 Then Columns("H:P").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
but my code is running in a loop and i can see that atleast 20 buttons were added and it fails to select when it try to add this iteration. It is completely confusing me.
I also notice that when it fails, on select method .. the button was actually added to the sheet with caption/name as "Button 65536" but then fails to select it. What makes the select to fail after adding the button? Could there be anything special with Button 65536?
Is there any better way to code the adding button and setting action and name for excel 2007?
note before entering the loop i am deleting all the shapes with myShape.Delete which name matches "btRun"
I also want to highlight that i don't have 65536 rows in my sheet. I just have 200 rows. and when this error happens it is on row 150 so firstly i wonder why it is naming the button as Button 65536. I would assume it will start with 1 and go on increments.
What makes excel to fail to select an added button in VBA?
I'm using Excel 2013 and I'm getting an issue in vba I can't figure out. (This is something I've done several dozen time before) But everytime I try to copy a sheet in a workbook,
The macro I'm writing (Excel 2010) is a loop that inserts a column based on a variable location, enters in a formula in the first cell, enters another formula in cell 2, then should fill that second formula to the last row, then keep going until the loop ends. There is always a chance that there will be blank cells to the left and right so I didn't use xldown. I've tried writing in multiple ways, but I keep getting the error.
Code: Sub colfrmadd() Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Select colcnt2 = Selection.Columns.Count
I've been using a macro successfully for the last couple of years, but this morning when I went to use it, it decided to fail. I have a workbook which contains various spreadsheets. The macro that has failed performs the following tasks:
1. It copies a list of email addresss from an external workbook to a sheet in the current workbook (still works) 2. It copies the referral sheet I want to send to a new file, and saves it with an appropriate filename to an appropriate folder (still works) 3. The macro then creates an email with a standard subject line, attaches the new worksheet and emails it to each of the addresses as above (broken)
The error message is from Microsoft Visual Basic. "Run-time error '1004': Mail system failure. Check your mail installation."
I'm guessing there is a setting somewhere in Excel that has changed as part of an update.
I've been through a number of the options in the developer menu to remove any obvious restrictions (& reopened excel afterwards), but so far it hasn't resolved the problem.
For what it's worth, here is the macro code.
With Application .EnableEvents = False .ScreenUpdating = False End With Run "PullInSheet1" Dim oldbook As String
[Code] .......
In case you're wondering about the pullinsheet code, I'll add it below - but I probably grabbed it from this forum a couple of years ago (like some of the above) & just made some changes.
Code: Sub PullInSheet1() Dim AreaAddress As String '''''' Sheet11.UsedRange.Clear Dim ClRange As String ClRange = "= 'L:ADMINEMPLOY SERVICES" _
[Code] ........
There are a couple of things I've wanted to do to improve the macro, but I couldn't justify the need to spend time working it out (since writing spreadsheets isn't really my job). Since it's broken at the moment, I can...
1. I'd like to create a subject line that reflects the name of the person being referred. For some reason though, anything other than text in the cell reference caused an error for me. eg, I tried using concatenate to create my subject line, but it didn't work.
2. I'd like the copied sheet to contain all of the formatting of the original sheet. Presumably there is a paste option that will do this and I just picked the wrong one.
The mailsystem we use is Groupwise 8. I couldn't find any settings in that program that have been changed, or that I could change.
I should change the extension from xls to xlsx in the code since I'm using Excel 2010 (but changing it doesn't fix the problem).
Is there a limit on the amout of pictures you can use with the statement me.pictures.visible? Reason being, I am trying to import 119 pictures into a spreadsheet. When the information is selected form a drop down list, it pulls up the 1 of the 119 pictures. I was able to get 54 pictures input. Everything was going great until the 55th. When it stared giving me an error... ______________________________________________ Runtime Error '1004':
Unable to set the Visible property of the Pictures class ______________________________________________
When I select Debug, it takes me to the line with Me.Pictures.Visible = False
Everything seems to work fine until I enter the 55th picture. If it is that, is there a viable work around?
Getting a error message when opening a workbook "Runtime error 1004" I dont know much about excel and the user explained it to me as best she could . Here is where the script bugs:
When I run the following code it keeps giving me a runtime error 1004.
Code: Sub ImportData() Dim fNameAndPath As Variant Dim wb As Workbook Dim cNextRow As Long Dim Ans As String NextRow = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Errors").Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1 cNextRow = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Compare").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
I'm getting the error for the following piece of code.

I am converting Excel Templates which were developed in office 97 to Excel 2003.The templates are running fine in office 97 ,but when I run the same template in off 2003 I get the error "Run time Error Code 1004 : Application or Object Defined " and when I tried to debug the cursor is pointing to a cell which contains a formula which add multiple cell values.Can any one throw some light on this why the template which works fine on office 97 is not working in office 2003?
when I register the formula in the macro they work perfectly, when I run I receive this message, really do not know why I thought maybe I should substitute something but really is too complex for me to go inside that.
I wrote the below code, the error seems to be occurring on the ActiveSheet.Name line. At this line the debugger is giving the runtime error.
Sub ListWorkSheetNames() Dim Sheetnames Sheetnames = Sheets.Count Sheets.Add ActiveSheet.Name = 'SheetList' Sheets(SheetList).Move after:=Sheets(Sheetnames + 1) For i = 1 To Sheetnames Range(A & i) = Sheets(i).Name Next i End Sub
I used the formula from this website to do a vlookup for pictures www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/lookuppics.html
It was working great then I seem to have a problem currently I have 58 pictures on the spreadsheet and when I add the next one I keep on getting an error
Error reads
Runtime error 1004 Unable to set the picture property of the picture class
I am getting an Run Time error 1004 Application-defined or object defined-error.
I am assuming this is occuring because the username is not in the list for the pivot table as I am using some code which includes Environ, some code that if user name is not in pivot table then bring back no data or make pivot table blank. I have included the code below.
I've just recently ran into this Error (Runtime error 1004) "Too many different formats." I'll admit i have a ton of cell formats within my single worksheet. perhaps most are for artistic purposes.
Still, my worksheet as it is causes this error, when running my scripts. When I wipe out all my format color, boarders, etc. my scripts run fine. Is there a maximum amount of cell formats that can be used? I'm using Excel 2003
Is there a way to circumvent this?. Not sure if using Excel 2007 is an option: I've tried opening my project in 2007, but found that all my buttons were missing, plus it seemed to run considerably slower.
Here is the data I am working with. On another sheet, I want to count the number of entries on Total requests sheet if Column M - Closed < Column Q - End Date. There is other criteria and I have this, which doesn't work: Run-time error '1004' Application defined or object defined error. I think it is due to the part where I'm working with the dates...
I am trying to protect cells & password protect my workbook on closing. Here is my code. Not only is the cell locking code not working, but it is also preventing the code from re-hiding the columns ("P:P,R:R,W:W,U:U,AA:AA"). Here is my code; I've tested it on a blank sheet & it was working:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) Application.ScreenUpdating = False Application.EnableEvents = False
I want the code to determine if the cell before and after the active cell contains a value and if both these conditions are true to delete the active row.
I keep getting a runtime error 1004 when I try this...
I'm currently trying to make a script that will cut invoices out of several finance workbooks, I have ommitted the main part of the processing as it happens later and does not have any bearing on this problem.
When it reaches the line I have marked, it breaks with the error "Runtime error '1004': Select method of worksheet class failed". I'm fairly sure the problem lies with the Workbook but at the time of break WbZ is set to a valid workbook (FinanceSheet_SP_Thomas.xls in this case) and the workbook contains a sheet called "Invoice Sheet".
worked at one point but now gives a '1004' runtime error. What I am trying to accomplish is have the user display a line of data on a userform, modify it, then write it back to another sheet in the workbook.
