SaveAs Macro: Choose Path Name
Nov 21, 2006
I have the following
Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
SaveRow
On Error Goto ErrorHandler
ThisFile = Sheets("Data"). Range("B2").Value
ActiveWorkbook. SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:Documents and SettingsMy Documents" & ThisFile, FileFormat:= _
xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False _
, CreateBackup:=False
Workbooks.Close
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox ("Error locating file. " + Err.Description)
End Sub
This saves a workbook with the File Name based on a cell in a worksheet in the above Path Name.
Is there a way that I can change this code to ask for the Path Name with the File Name, from the worksheet, as a default.

I'm using a VBscript that will copy a worksheet and it works perfectly except that it saves the copy to the same directory as the original workbook. I need it to save to a different directory.
What I believe is the pertinent part of the code that needs adjusting is:
"Input box to name new file
NewName = InputBox("Please Specify the name of your new workbook", "New Copy")
' Save it with the NewName and in the same directory as original
ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & NewName & ".xls"
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False "
How would this be changed to specify that "NewName.xls" be saved to: D:/newdirectory/copies

I have a macro that creates and saves an XML file with a specific file name. Is there a way to modify this code in such a way that the user will be able to specify the path?
Set wb = Workbooks.Add
NewFileName = "Export For " _
& "Cust " & Customer_Data.Range("custName") _
& ", LOB " & RequestLOB _
& ", Type " & RequestType _
& ", Site " & RequestSite
On Error GoTo DoNotReplaceExistingFile
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=NewFileName & ".xml", FileFormat:=xlNormal, _
Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, _
CreateBackup:=False

I 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.

I have been working on some Macros. I am compiling a macro that runs other macros. I have two noticeable problems.
1 - My SaveAs macro runs fine by itself. But when called or ran by another macro, (which calls more than one macro) the SaveAs macro it stops.
2- Many of my macros, when ran by another macro (which runs more than one macro) cycles through twice.
My specific question is about no. 2 and the following are the individual macros and the macro that runs them.

I want to restrict users to just read or print a word document. Document is very confidential so we dont want them to copy or manipulate the document.
I thought of giving password to restrict to read only option but that still lets users to copy and paste on to a new document.

I would like to write a macro that would insert a hyperlink to another file an would prompt the user to select the location of the file once the macro was run. I am not sure how I would get my macro to prompt the user to define the location (which is located on a network drive).

I am making a macro that requires that user to enter a directory path into a input box and the macro will open the file. Right now it works fine bit i would like to change the code so that instead of using an input box it brings up a box that will allow them to browse files on their computer and then select one to open.

I am after some VBA code that chooses each value from a drop down list (in cell A1) then copies a separate sheet 1 (sheet 1) into another workbook (can have both workbooks open at the same time or the first step will have to create a workbook) with the name of the added sheet renamed to the value chosen from the list. When the second value is chosen then sheet 1 should be copied into the newly created workbook as well.
Sheet 1 has lookups that are updated when the new value in the drop down list is chosen
There are around 85 values in the drop down list so I'm expecting a workbook with 85 tabs (copy pasted values and formats)

I am using an XY scatter chart that displays the planned path and an actual path as I go. The planned path is set up in 100' increments and goes 12000' and actual path varies along the way.
My data that I use is the Northing (ft), Easting (ft) and Vertical Section (ft) for both the planned path and actual path.
I was wondering if there was an east way to get that information from the chart or if there is a formula that would allow me to calculate distance between the two points by using the data I use for my chart.

How can I run a DOS .bat (batch) file from within a Macro? This is what I came up with so far and it seems to work. The only thing is that I need this to have relative paths, running from the same directory the Excel Workbook is in.

I am using the below macro to save my workbook with in the correct path and naming convention.
In fact, as I also need a pdf file from that excel file, I tried to change the below macro and replace ".xlsm" by ".pdf"... However acrobat does not like it..
HTML Code:
Sub PDF()
'created by Gregory Charbonnel
'ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="Z:FOLDER & FILE MANAGEMENTREview (ETF)PDF ETFETF_" & Format(Now(), "dd_mm_yyyy") & ".pdf", _
' FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
End Sub
I guess that I should use the print option which gives me that when I record the macro. how to implement my naming convention + path in that macro.
HTML Code:
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False

macro is below
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
If ActiveWorkbook.ReadOnly Then Exit Sub

I am having trouble getting a macro to open a specific file from an open workbook in the same folder based on the current path of the open file. The application is this... I have two files in the same folder. The first is for data entry and it contains a macro button that will open the second which is a template to which the data in the first will be copied. I can easily do this with a fixed path to the second file, however, I would like to be able to move or copy the folder containing these files to other locations or computers without having to change the path each time. I would like to base the path to the second file minus the file name on the first (already open file) path. Assuming that the first file containing the desired macro button is already open, here is one of many of my attempts...
Workbooks.Open " ActiveWorkbook.PathJob Tracker -.xls"
Assuming the second file is the active workbook, I achieved a similar path assignment when saving the file...
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "Application.Path/Jobs Active/" & "Job Tracker -" & Range(" '[Job Tracker -.xls]Specifications'!$A$6").Value

I have a little boo-boo I need to fix. I have a customer that has about 100 workbooks. I needed to add some functions to them so I made up a new sheet of forms and buttons as well as a series of new macros to bring into these workbooks. I knew I couldn't import the macros, so I added the module containing those by hand to all workbooks. I then imported a master copy of the new sheet from a master file i use to hold my working macros. The problem is the buttons on the new sheeets in each workbook now references the master workbook for the macro name, even though each workbook has the same macro of the same name in itself.
My question is, can I make a macro that will edit all the buttons on a specific named sheet (maintenance is the sheet name) in a workbook and take out the external reference.
For example, instead of the assigned macro pointing to c:master.xls!macro1 i just want it to call macro1. And yes, I can go into them and do it by hand. Do I want to manually edit 100 workbooks for a dozen buttons each? No. I want to automate it if I can. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. It would save me a bunch of time.
