Saving And Launching Program Sequencing
Mar 3, 2014
I have a non Microsoft program file that I can open in excel. I usually make changes to the file; save it to its native format, then open up the non Microsoft program and open that file that I just edited in excel.
If I had to simplify it, using notepad as an example.
I open the TXT in excel and make changes.
Then Save the TXT in a folder location.
Open Notepad.
Browse to the folder Location.
Open the edited file.
I did not know if there was a quick VBA that I could use to get this to work?

I need a column to autopopulate based on quantities of title entered by a user.
Each row has a Type (Column A) and a Sequence # (Column B), and I can get as far validating if a given row has same Type and Sequence# <= the sum of the quantities.
Now I'm struggling with counting down through the quantity of each title.
Each title should exhaust itself before moving on.
Example:

I am working on a data integration and have transactional data sets with multiple columns of data. In reviewing the data, I can see that based on values in 2 different columns, I can identify unique transaction records. The data is already sorder by transaction # and date. Creating a pivot table gives me back summary info for header records (I can get unique header records based on a concatenation of the trx # and Date), but I am having a difficulty obtaining uniqueness for the line items. The id that I created for purposes of header record summation means nothing from a user standpoint and I need to come up with more meaningful info.
What I have and what I want is...:
Tranaction#DateWhat I want is…15801911/23/2005015801911/23/2005015801911/23/2005015801911/22/2005115801911/22/2005115801911/22/2005115801911/22/2005115801911/22/2005115801912/12/2005215801912/12/20052
If I can get the data defined like that, then I can concatenate the trx# and the increment to block out the transactions into individual transactions.

I used the Get External Data function within Excel and the query returned the fields in alphabetical order. I went back into the query and rearranged the fields into a more logical order, but when refreshed the query continues to return the fields to Excel in the original alphabetical order.
Am I missing something, or do you only get one shot at the order of the fields being returned?

I have a macro that launches word or excel files if the file address (e.g. C:Documents and SettingsHenryDesktop est.xls) is typed into cell A1 by looking at the last 3 letters of the file name.
I cannot find a way to enable it to launch pdf files as well (e.g. C:Documents and SettingsHenryDesktop est.pdf)

I hide all Excel standard tabs and thus need a button on custom tab to record a macro. (I did this successfully with custom menu in Excel 2003.) In 2007 ribbon, I've reused the code for a button's OnAction, now going to callback that runs:
Application.CommandBars.ExecuteMso ("MacroRecord")
In Excel 2003, the stop button appeared automatically for me. But in Excel 2007, with hiding standard tabs, etc., I see no way to stop recording, other than running my button to return the Developer's tab, where the Record Macro button has changed to Stop Macro.
I'd like to either add a second button to my ribbon to stop recording the macro (but I can't find an idMso to use in a callback) or have my Record button change to Stop button, like Excel does. But I can't come up with correct code.

I have a worksheet that is a graphical display of a call floor with its cubicles. I am able to pop up a box with many details about the workstation in the cubicle (see Display pop-up box when cell selected) for more details, and would now like to go further with this application.
Our practice is to use VNC to review the end users' screens when they call us for assistance; given that I know the machine name and IP address, how can I start a VNC browsing session for the target machine?

My company uses database software called Business Objects. At the moment few people are using the program and its reports as they can't find the key ones or workout how to run them correctly. As everyone is comfortable with excel. I am creating a series of forms to guide my users to the key reports. I like this method because it is very user friendly and I can add lots of descriptions. Unfortunately my programming knowledge is limited to excel so I can't write a standalone program as you might suggest I do.
The problem:
I want to launch the non-excel files using VBA. For example, a user will click on a "Customer" button to see a second form containing a list of customer reports. The user will then click on the button containing the name of the report they want to launch. I want the file to open. I tried using hyperlinks in an excel spreadsheet which works fine for opening the non-excel files, but it isn’t nearly as user-friendly or interactive.

I have a sub procedure that launches a hyperlink, but i have some conditionality so that if a cell (J3) is blank it pops up a message letting the user know they need to populate cell (J3). My problem is that if cell J3 is blank it pops of the message, but it still launches the link.
Sub NEWShyperlink()
Dim s As String
If Range("J3").Value = "" Then
MsgBox "Make sure you have entered the ticker symbol into cell J3!", vbExclamation, "Can not get News/Press Releases"

how to launch windows explorer from a path that resides in a cell using the code below.
Sub LaunchWindowsExplorer()
Dim PID As Double
Dim strRootPath As String
Const strExpExe = "explorer.exe"
Const strArg = " " '" /e,/root, "
'// Change rootpath here
strRootPath = "J:MyDirectoryWilliams,Bob 7264"
PID = Shell(strExpExe & strArg & strRootPath, 1)
End Sub
The problem I have is that once I have done this a number of times (probably somewhere between 80-100 times then I notice windows explorer starts to play up as if running out of memory. A reboot soon fixes that, however, I was wondering if there is anything I can add to the code to keep it from hogging up memory...if that is even possible.
When I say 80 - 100 times, I don't mean opening up 80 - 100 instances of windows explorer. I mean launching windows explorer, moving some files then closing that instance of windows explorer. Then coming back into excel and repeating that process.

Each time I click on an Excel file the worksheet will open up within an existing Excel worksheet that I have open. This is frustrating when you are working with two monitors or screens (laptop screen and additional monitor) and want to view each worksheet separately in separate screens. What I end up doing, which is not efficient, is I'll open the second worksheet which will open up in an existing worksheet that I have open and then I'll close it, and then launch a separate Excel worksheet and pull open the recent file and I'll have two open worksheets (not within same Excel worksheet I already have open). This allows me to grab and pull one worksheet in a separate screen and leave the other as I need both open on two monitors.
Question: is there a way to default Excel when opening or double clicking an Excel file to automatically open in a separate instance of Excel and not in an existing open worksheet?

I have a macro to sort a very large list of materials by a variety of conditions.
The macro runs automatically when a cell on the master list spread sheet is selected and using If/ElseIf it sorts based on what cell they have selected.
Example
If ActiveCell = "ALUMINIZED" Then
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$14:$K$1945").AutoFilter Field:=2
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$14:$K$1945").AutoFilter Field:=4
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$14:$K$1945").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:= _"Aluminized"
Which is working perfectly. The problem I am having is that some of the cells are two lines so it looks like this:
BE
BEARINGS
I don't know how to get it to launch based on that cell content because of the line break in there. Can I make it launch based on the first two characters only?

I have a spreadsheet that imports data, manipulates it then deletes 2 of the sheets then saves the file under a different name to the network. Is there any way to save this new worksheet without it storing the macros - so when the user open it, only the data is there and they get no prompt to enable macros?

I have created a form in a worksheet which I have added questions too and then locked all cells except the ones where I want the answers in.
I have then added a button to the bottom of the sheet called "Print and Save". This work sheet is called "form"
On a second sheet called "database", I have all the titles of the questions running from a -> k and nother else.
What I want to happen is the user input the information on "form" into the boxes available. Once they have completed the questions, I want them to be able to click on "Print and Save" so that firstly the page "form" prints, and then for all of the answers to be saved in "database" below the titles for each question.
I have had a play, but just don't know where to start. Also, once there is a row of questions below the titles, I don't want it to overwrite information already there, it needs to go onto the next empty row available.
Attached is my excel file.
You will see in the code that I have the code for printing.. I just found this on the net and it seems to work fine for me.

On my machine, as well as most others in the office, all the code works fine. On another machine, strange issues arise.

When an .xls file is double clicked, Excel opens with the following error message:
'F:Program.xls’ could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct.
If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files on the File menu, make sure that the file has not been renamed, moved, or deleted.
When the dialog box is clicked, another error message is displayed with the same words, but with the file name 'microsoft.xls'.
I have tried un-registering and re-registering Excel, and uninstalling and re-installing all of Office 2003.
KB 177248 refers to this problem and suggests: ....

I would like to know if it is possible to run a macro from excel for another program and then have results imported into excel.
Currently I have a program called Reflection WRQ that I run a macro in and the results are captured in a text file. Then I run a macro in Excel that imports that text file. If possible I would like to have my macro in Excel run the command in Reflection and then import the results in Excel.

I have data in an Excel worksheet that needs to be entered into a proprietary programme. I believe this is possible using SendKeys but as I need to keep switching back to Excel to get the next bit of data I am unsure as to how to go about this. The program would already be open as it is a dial up situation and I would have to dial into the relevant site first.

I am making a Program search tool for my company. I would like the operator to type a part number into a cell. If the part number is valid (from a master list on a different sheet), then I would like to pull the information from the master list and populate a few cells on the search worksheet.
Example:
An operator types: "W3303-01" in a cell and clicks a button. The macro would populate cells on that worksheet with information from another worksheet that pertains to "W3303-01"

I've just begun a C&G in VB for work even though at work we use Excel, I'm trying to convert the program we did this week so that it works in Excel. Basically I want to click on the Font button and have the font dialogue box come up and let me change the font in the label (if the checkbox is ticked), hope it makes sense, this is what I have but it doesn't work and I cannot work out why.

I start my excel program from a "Shortcut" in "Folder 1".
That shortcut points an Excel program in "Folder 2".
When Excel is started,
Parent.Path returns "Folder 2",
but I really need to know what "Folder 1" was.
It seems that should be available as
when I do "Save File As"
it is pointing to "Folder 1".
Is there a way to find what "Folder 1" really was from the VBA enviornment.
