Search For Most Recent File In Folder. 2007
Jan 22, 2008
I am using Excel 2007 so I CANNOT use application.filesearch.
With that said, I need to change one of my old macros that searched for the newest file within a specified folder, and then display the name of that file in a message box that gives the person an option of opening the file. I've read too many workarounds for application.filesearch and I'm not sure how to combine them all into something I can use.
Normally I have a bit of code to start with, but this one has me so baffled I don't know where to start.

I am using the code below to Open the most recent file in a folder.But once it Identifies the most recent file I get a run time error"1004"
xxxxxxxxxxxxx(name of File) could't be found.At line "Wookbooks.Open strFilename".My question is , why can't it open it, it has the location and the file name?
This code works as long as the macro and target file are in the same directory(Folder)

When I click on the "Office Button", then in the recent "documents dialog box" there is a list of my worksheets plus an "allsenatename" file". This then downloads a worksheet from a website. I don't know how it was added to my list, I must have entered it when looking at that web site in error.

On this forum I read about the application "FileSearch" that doesn't work in office 2007. I used the macro on below in office 2003 and it worked. Now I upgraded to Office 2007 and it doesn't work. But if you search "NewSearch method" in the MS Excel Help you can find that the application exists and it has the same morphology I am using!! Why Doesn't it work??
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
'Change path to suit
.LookIn = pPath
.FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks
.Filename = "*.xls"
If .Execute > 0 Then 'Workbooks in folder
Redim FNameArr(.FoundFiles.Count).......................

I was wondering if anyone had any code to loop through every file in a folder and list the file name along with every sheet name in that file? I'm using Excel 2007.

Its been a while since I did this on 2003 and needing a pointer on 2007.
Just needing a simple macro that opens the relevant folder from a hardcoded path to allow the user to manually select the file to be used.
This file will then be used to copy from and paste to another file.

application.FileSearch.NewSearch
application.FileSearch.LookIn = Workbooks(ActiveWorkbook.Name).Path
application.FileSearch.FileType = msoFileTypeAllFiles
application.FileSearch.SearchSubFolders = True
application.FileSearch.Filename = "Zone Selling*.xls"
application.FileSearch.MatchTextExactly = True
application.FileSearch.Execute
filecount = application.FileSearch.FoundFiles.Count
For i = 1 To filecount
Worksheets("Run").Cells(i, 1) = application.FileSearch.FoundFiles(i)
Next i
For i = 1 To filecount......................
But it won't list my files which is how the macro was running, it was returning a list of the files in the folder and then running them based on the path returned

I want to search for a file in Sharepoint using Excel 2007 VBA.
Path to the Sharepoint location where the files are at is [URL] ....
File name is customer_list_xxxxxx.xlsx The x's are a date which changes every day or week. So a new file will be uploaded to the sharepoint path.
Example customer_list_041414.xls
I've tried so many different code options for this, but no luck.

I've had my Excel 2007 set up for the longest time to show the 30 most recent files when clicking on the office button. After changing it to 50 the office menu in Excel runs off the bottom of the screen and I can no longer get ot the options at the bottom to change it back. Does anyone know the registry key to modify this setting back to the 30 that allowed the full menu to be visible?

Here's an example of what my data looks like, in reality there's 1000's of rows and 100 columns...
[Code] ........
So, what I'm after is the most recent date on which a user goes over 2000. I've populated column I manually with what the value *should* be, I just can't figure out how to do this with a formula.
Using Excel 2007, have attached the sample data as an xlsx too.

I have alot of project folders on my harddrive.
All in format: I:/12345-costumer-projectname/
The five digits are unique for each project.
I make calculations for these projects using an excel file. In this excel I also type the projectnumber (cell J2)
Now i would like to make a button. When pressed, it checks the projectnumber cell J2, looksup the corresponding folder and saves the excelfile in PDF format in this folder.
I have found macro to find files in folders, but none which do the above.

I need a macro in a workbook to look at all the files in the same folder that have "*att*.xls" in the name and determine and copy from the range A15:W515 only the rows that have data in at least columns A, C and D. Each file will vary as to how many rows there will be and there are more than the files with "*att*.xls" in the folder. The data will be on the only worksheet in each file and the worksheet is named "G2WAttendee_xls" the data from all the files need to be copied to the file called "Consolidated webinar reports.xls" (I am using Excel 2003) and to a sheet called "Attendance Data" and added to the end of the last paste.
At the start of the macro the current file "Consolidated webinar report.xls" should be saved to a sub folder of the current directory and have the date saved added to the name. The sub folder is called "Completed reports". The data in the original file on worksheet "Attendance Data" should be deleted.
At the end of the process all the files that have had data copied from them should be moved to the sub folder "Attendance reports consolidated" (This could be done as each file is closed if that is easier).
I have headings in row 1 of the "Attendance Data" worksheet that match the headings in the various files in the folder (which will always be in row 14 of the individual "*att*.xls" files).
The folder with all the files and the "Consolidated webinar report.xls" file is at path "Z:P and S MEvaluationsWebinar series 2012-13TB".

I've got this code that will copy data into my worksheet from the most recent .IRP file generated on my C:/ drive. Along with copying the data to my worksheet, I'd like to have a copy of the IRP file copied to a folder on my L:/Drive.
In the code section I've commented out the code that allows the data from the most recent file to be copied to my worksheet. I found code that supposedly will copy a file to a new directory. I want to combine this into my code to allow both to happen. Here's my attempt.

I am trying to create a script for a manually morning process that I need to complete that entials downloading a number of .PDF files and sending them out to a distribution list. I am unable to automate that actual saving of the files onto the network drive, but I believe I can automate the process of attaching them to the email. I have run across some problems so far though, this is what I have been able to come up with. After doing a bit of research it seems as though using cmd would be the best way to locate and attach the file but I am still unable to get it to run properly:
Code:
Sub AttachMultiple()
With CreateObject("Outlook.Application").CreateItem(0)
.To = "test@gmail.com"
.Subject = "Test"
.Attachments.Add Split(CreateObject("wscript.shell").exec("cmd /c Dir 'G:Client ReportingMGIDaily
ReportsAGFAJune 2013*.pdf' /b /o-d").stdout.readall, vbCrLf)(0)
.Send
End With
End Sub
Here is an example of a folder I will be trying to pull the most recent saved PDF from, there are about 10 similar folders:
I feel like I am relatively close to completely this, my cmd syntax may just be a little off.

The code below looks at file names in column A and then goes to a folder and opens and copies the data in range c2 -lastrow from each file and pastes the data into sheet2.
how I could add to the code so that it also inserts the file name in column c?
It would make it easier to track the data in column B.
VB:
Sub CopyFromFile()
Dim fPath As String
Dim lRow As Long
[Code].....
I have attached a sample workbook. The list of file name is in sheet 1. An example of the output is in sheet 2. The data in column A is dummy data generally spans 100's of rows not just 10 as in the example.
The purpose of the code is to be able to put a list of file names in column a in sheet 1 and extract data from those files in a folder. The data extraction works fine. The reson for adding the file names is so that I know what file the data came from.

I found some code on here the other day which will do though all the files in a folder and send them to a zip file which works great how to zip a single fixed file. I down load files from our oracle system daily and need to keep them but want to keep the file size down.
Code:
Sub ZipPackage()
Dim ZipFile, TargetFolder, NewFileName, ofile
Dim o As Object
[Code]...
But the "ofile" doesnt contain the file type. Is there away to adjust this code so it recognises what the file type is?

I don't seem to be able to combine the looping through a set of workbooks with the IsFileOpen function posted by microsoft.
Basically this code works if the foundfile(j) is closed, but if it is already open I cannot activate the foundfile(j) and make it do things.
I'm not posting the ISFileOpen function because already present inside the forum and the rest of the code because it's too long...
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
' . ScreenUpdating = False
.LookIn = MyPath(40)
'* represents wildcard characters
.FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks
If .Execute > 0 Then 'Workbook exists
For j = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
If IsFileOpen((.FoundFiles(j))) Then
'neither of these three options work

Is there a way I can from vba cut a file from a folder and put in to another folder? And also create a folder? If yes, how can I do this?
Is it better to use dir or scripting.filesystem object?and if there is an advantage to use one over the other.
