Saved File Size Not Reduced To Original
Apr 26, 2009
I have an Excell 2003 workbook with 6 worksheets and some VBA programmed macros in it.
With a small amount of data the .xls file size is 150k. Then I tested it with a much larger sample of data, which goes into one of the worksheets, resulting size 3MB. Later on I reverted to reading in the original small amount of data but the file size stubbornly sticks to 400k instead of reverting to 150k.
The old data is definitely not there anymore - I used this code to clear it:

I have a form in vba with two tabs. Both the tabs are different sizes.
The first tab is quite large and the 2nd tab is smaller.
When I click the 2nd tab it shrinks the form but then when I click back to the first form it makes it the same size and the 2nd tab and cutting out key info.
Is there anyway I can resize the 1st tab again to go back to its original size?

I have numerous spreadsheets that I need to open and unhide a sheet, that has XML data stored in cell A1. What I need to do is copy that data in cell A1 and paste it into a text document and save that as an XML file saved as the XLS workbook name with a date stamp.
I'm running into many issues, the main issue is the saving as current file name, and the formatting of the text/XML file.
Here is my current code, which doesn't reference the current file name and is just very generic. Once I get the saving as file-name correct and the formatting of the xml file correct, I will work on it a bit more.
Code:
Sub Test()
Dim Rng As Range
Dim wb As Workbook
Set Rng = Range("A1:A2")
Set wb = Workbooks.Add
With wb
Rng.Copy
[code]....

I do routine tasks every day which involves opening 3 different files and pasting data into my main file. The data is always in the same format, and the 3 files are saved in the same location (3 different folders through). The 3 files are saved each day and the naming convention is constant, with only the date changing. For example, the files are always saved in C:My Documents and the files are called test_05.02.2013.xls. Tomorrow the file will be called test_06.02.2013.xls and so on.
So each day I will be rolling a file forward and I want to bring in the info from each of these files based on the new day.
How to do 1, and I will do the others (because the concept will be the same).

myPath = Sheets("Date").Range("C8").Text
fName = Sheets("Date").Range("C9").Text
Sheets("Sage CSV File").Copy

I have an add-in called GeoDesiX. It is a geocoder/mapping tool that uses Google Maps API. It works fine, even on my machine, but I think it was built using 32-bit, while I have 64-bit Excel. When I open the add-in for the first time, an example workbook is below, it works great.
The problem is, that when I save any file with the map in it, the VBA no longer works, and an error pops up in the below code that says: "Object Reference not set to an instance of an object". This happens at the Err.Raise 65000, "GeodesiX", Result part. It looks like it just cannot find the DLL file, which is the "GeodesiX" in that error part. I was reading that it might be caused by switching between 64 bit and 32 bit, but could not figure out how to do it. I am guessing you need to put Private Function Declare PtrSafe, but I could not figure out syntax on how to get that to work. I understand that you will not be able to use these as it is an add-in, but maybe you just know what I need to do in order for the vba to call to the DLL file.

I have a file that keeps setting it's "Saved" property to False when I change something in another file. I cannot find any external links in the file.
The file used to be "Personal.xls", but I renamed it.

I have a file with code attached and when I try to save it I am told that the file cannot be saved in this format and that I must unprotect the code before saving.
I have no OnEvent macros in the code.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem. The code must be protected, non-protection is not an option.

I am writing a macro that copies a pdf from a temporary directory to a permanent directory. After the copy is complete, I want to delete the original file. Looking in Visual Basic Help, it appears that I need to create a FileSystemObject, but I have no idea what that means or how to do it. sDirectory is a string variable of the path of the file and sBatch is a string variable of the name of file. This isn't working.
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
sDeleteFile = (sDirectory & sBatch)
Set a = fs.CreateTextFile(sDeleteFile, True)
a.DeleteFile.sDeleteFile

vba to save data in cells into file name? The vba below works for one cell, but I need info from cell “E11” also with the text MARK between them. myFileName = "2009 CROP BALE CUT OUT FORM – INVOICE " & Format(ActiveSheet.Range("F12").Text) & ".xls"
The final file name should look like this: 2009 CROP BALE CUT OUT FORM - INVOICE 8D4512 MARK CB34.xls

I have a template that when it is opened it will automatically save the file to a specific location with the date in the file name.
Currently my code is
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "G:Shared"IT_New " & Format(Date, "mm-dd-yy") & ".xls", , , , , , xlShared
End Sub
Does anyone know a way to have this code disabled (either by deleting or making it all a comment) on the saved file (xls) so the speadsheet does not try and overwrite itself when I go back and open a previous days spreadsheet?

I'm not sure how I did it, but I opened up a new Excel file and accidentally saved it over a file I've been working on all afternoon. Is there any way to recover the original file (per the last time I saved it about 20 min ago)?
I looked in the "wastebasket" and only found files that I had specifically DELETED. But I didn't specifically delete this one, instead I saved over it.

I found this for my problem (creating a macro that starts when the file gets saved): Private Sub App_WorkbookBeforeSave()
I tried to use it, but the macro didn't do anything when I saved the file.

How does one do a save with a new name while keeping the original file intact - with the original file name? Would a macro be required?

I have this excel file that is 17 sheets long and I made a table of contents page so it is easier for people to navigate. I know my hypertext links in my file are correct because it works when I click on the hypertexted cells, my excel file jumps to the respective sheet.
However, when I save the file as a pdf the hypertext links do not work. how to get my table of contexts to jump pages in a saved pdf file?

I'm using a macro to open an other excel file to get data from it. this goes by Workbooks.Open Filename:=totalopen (totalopen =Filepath & filename earlier defined) Because the opening file can have the same filename, my question; is it possible to open the latest/newest saved file? So also look at the saving date/time of opening excel file.

I need the following sort code to run anytime the file is saved....I can't figure out what to title the sub and where to put it (ie. This workbook or in a module). I am attaching the file for reference. The file will not always be saved using the "save as" option - sometimes it is saved just by clicking the "save" icon

if there is an easy way of showing the active file "Last Saved Date" on a Userform and have it show automatically when the Userform is opened? The Scenario is:
I have a "Main" userform screen and I want to have a text line which says, "File last updated on xx/yy/zzzz ". This must show up automatically when the "main" userform is opened.

I have a template excel file that has links to data in another excel file in the same directory as the template. However, I save the template with a new name in a new folder and the link no longer works. The link changes to the location with the new file and of course the file I am trying to like to is not in that location.
The link shows the full path in the template file so I would think it would keep the full path when saving to a new location but the file doesn't.
How do I make the link address static?

In any other software, when I save a copy, or export to a different format the original file remains unaffected but in an excel it seems to work differently...and I end up having to save my file back to the xslx format. this extra time wasted when I am regularly exporting but it also makes me a bit nervous that I might accidentally not save back to the format with all my worksheets etc etc..

How to disable a macro when the workbook opened is a copy ** the original, the only difference between the 2 files would be the date created, could it possible to use some VBA to check for this "Date Created", and if the date is different from the original, then the copy will not able to run the macro or some sheets will be hidden in the copied file?

I am wondering how you can change Excel's original file creation date. You can find it by right-clicking on a speadsheet icon then going to:
File - Properties
Custom Tab
Click on Advanced
Look for a field called "Date Created"
Some dates you can edit/change, but I haven't figured out how to change this one yet. I'd like to know because I have a need to change the date on a particular spreadsheet.

I have created a monster Excel file that contains loads of vlookups and is 95MB and extremely slow.
I guess that vlookup creates tables in the background, hence the file size. Does anyone have any ideas on how to decrease the file size while keep the vlookup functionality?

The problem is when I highlight a row with some color the original color of the row is gone, so I tried this code, and again, it's removing the original format and color for the row This is the code from McGimpsey & Associates : Excel : Highlight row with background colors
Code:
PrivateSub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Const cnNUMCOLS AsLong=256
Const cnHIGHLIGHTCOLOR AsLong=36'default lt. yellow
Static rOld As Range
Static nColorIndices(1To cnNUMCOLS)AsLong
Dim i AsLong
IfNot rOld IsNothingThen'Restore color indices
[code].....
How can I retain the range's historical color so that when I deselect the row it reverts properly?

When I open any saved Excel file the saved file opens along with a blank workbook titled "Book 1". How can I make it so when I open any saved Excel file it only opens the file I want and not a new workbook every time?
