View 4 Replies View RelatedI have created a spreadsheet that is 38mb and needed to size it down. I recorded the following macro to do this. This essentialy jut copies the top line of the relevant columns on each page and then copies the formulas down, calculates, and then pastes just the values of these calculations, thereby reducing the sheet to a third of its size. The macro works if I run it from the macro option on the toolbar, but when I assign it to a command button I keep getting ' select method

I have a macro that opens a specified woorkbook that changes every month. There are formulas which are pasted to range I1 of the new workbook to calculate the totals on this sheet. Everytime i run the code though, I get an error that says "Select method of range class failed" and Range("I1").Select is apparently the error.

Why I'm getting the above error when I try to copy and sort data into a workbook?
I'm using this:
Code:
Sub GetData1()
Dim SaveDriveDir As String, MyPath As String

Macro has been working fine for ages suddenly have received this consistently?
It's not debugging to allow me to see the route of the problem.
i've googled and seen it's normally a use of select but can't see any issue in my code or understand why it would work for months and now stop.
note: also after i click Ok on the error the macro seems to continue running and data is pulled through. ...but this message comes up every time so it's questioning the reliability of the data it's pulling.

I have a userform that allows the user to view, modify or delete individual records (rows) of a worksheet in a workbook. If a particular item in a record is modified, a check occurs to ensure that the values for that item remain unique. All of that works exactly the way I need. The breakdown occurs when the records are then autosorted by a the values in a particular column. After the autosort, another column of values is copied and pasted to a different worksheet within the same workbook. For this to work properly, I must have the userform open along with the worksheet containing the records. If the userform is open with any other worksheet open, I get the following VBA error message "Run-time Error '1004' : Slect method of Range class failed". I need to be able to open the userform with any worksheet active and not experience this error when the autosort, copy/paste occurs. This is the code for the user form, the module for autosort, copy/paste and checking for unue values.
This is the sub in the worksheet with the records
'This checks for unique values

I have a worksheet "Create Origin Zones" - sheet #17 in the array - that has 56 checkboxes.
Users can click anywhere from 1 to 56 checkboxes, and for each checkbox that is checked, I unhide a sheet "Shp Profile Tmpt", copy it after sheet #17, rename it to "Origin " + checkbox#, and give it a title based on a variable in another sheet.
Once that loop is done, I then hide the "Create Origin Zones" sheet, but the user can click a button on the new sheet to go back to the 'Create Origin Zones" sheet and add more zones by clicking more checkboxes and re-running the macro.
Problem is I get that "Run-time error '1004':Copy Method of Worksheet Class failed" when I copy too many sheets. All the solutions I saw involve saving, closing and reopening the workbook but this interrupts my loop. (It would save my workbook and close it.)
I am trying to have somewhere in my loop, say every time 20 or more checkboxes are checked, its saves, closes, reopens and continues the loop to the next checkbox and repeats the copy and paste and renaming etc.
Below is my
Sub pick_origin()
chkcounter = 0
shtnum = Sheets("Create Origin Zones").Index ' find sheet# of 'Create origin zones' to copy sheets after
For i = 1 To 56 'for the 56 origin zones checkboxes
Newcomer to Excel 2007 but long time programmer for Excel 2003. I am having problems with code that I feel should work. Code fails at the Select command with a "Run-time error '1004': Select method of Range class failed:
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an application I just built last week that seemed to be working fine. It's purpose is simple. It allows the user to select multiple .rtf files from a network drive, and then it loops through them, opens them up one at a time, copies the entire contents into a "temp" sheet in the excel workbook, then copies certain data from the temp tab to the next two columns in the main "data" tab of the worksheet, deletes the temp sheet, and then repeats the process for each selected .rtf file. Finally , it does some formatting of the "data" tab. All in all, it works quite well. Or at least, it DID.
VB:
Sub CopyRTFDocToTemp()
Dim WordApp As Object
Set WordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
With WordApp
[Code] .....
As of last night, we started getting various errors.
"Run-time error '1004': Paste Method of Worksheet class failed" error messages occasionally. The frequency seems to have increased.
We were also getting an error message that reads "Microsoft Excel is waiting for another application to complete an OLE action" error messages.
Then when I stepped through the code, I was getting an error message that read [filename I'm trying to open] "is locked for editing by" [me]. "Do you want to Open a Read Only copy, Create a local copy and merge your changes later, or Receive notification when the original copy is available"
I suspected two issues
1. The macro is not successfully opening the source file before it tries to copy it, so there is nothing to paste into Excel
2. The word file was not closed the LAST time I ran the app, so the file is getting stuck open, and I have no way to manually close it.
Finally, I rebooted the PC, and added code (activedocument.close) to close the word app after copying the contents of the rtf file
VB:
Sub CopyRTFDocToTemp()
Dim WordApp As Object
Set WordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
With WordApp
[Code] ....
I'm considering adding a wait loop to ensure that the app has actually opened a copy of the rtf file, so it has something to copy, but I'm unsure what variable to check with that loop.
I am getting this error when I run the following VBA script.
Sub AutoShape3_Click()
Sheets("Template").Select
ActiveSheet.Copy After:=Sheets(14)
Duplicate.Hide
wksName.Show
End Sub
The break mode is highlighting
ActiveSheet.Copy After:=Sheets(14)
as the source of the error.
I've run this code many times before with no problem. The workbook has 48 worksheets in it. It's my understanding that Excel can handle many more worksheets, so that shouldn't be a problem.
I've developed an administrative package in Excel for an After School Care programme. Essentially, there are 57 Child Records. Each record is stored on its own sheet. There are four other sheets in the workbook: three hidden templates, and the front page which holds a summary of all child attendance and balances.
Up until a short time ago, invoices were created from an "Invoices.xlt" file - the program would open the file as a new book, and copy the 1st Template page out until all invoices were created. This worked fine. I've recently changed this so the Invoice template is stored within the main workbook. After I did this, we started having problems.
We can run off up to 25-35 invoices fine (32 at this stage), but eventually it hits a point where the Activesheet.Copy command fails. After this point it is impossible to copy further sheets. I CAN, however, use Insert -> Worksheet. It is only the copy function that fails.
Because it's such a strange problem, I've uploaded an example with children's names changed. It can be found on [url]
The steps to recreate the problem are simple: Open the file, select all of the children's names (from Child to Child z), and click the "Create Invoices" button at the top.
My excel version is 2007 and i am on WIN7 64bit
I have a workbook with VBA which was working fine earlier. Lately i have been getting
"Runtime error 1004" Select method of button class failed.
I am adding buttons dynamically in a loop in a sheet and what surprise me is , i go to debug mode when error pops up and it points to below line
MySheet.Buttons.Add(ActiveCell.Left - 5, 25, 20).Select
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.
My entire below code is in a loop
Code:
maWrk.Cells(xIt1, yIt2).Select
mySheet.Buttons.Add(ActiveCell.Left - 5, 25, 20).Select
Selection.OnAction = "callMe"
[Code]....
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?
My spreadsheet has a grouped graphic that I need to repeat in a variable number of rows. I wrote a macro that copies the grouped graphic from above and pastes and positions it in the newly inserted row.
It works great when I use F8 to step thru, but if I try to actually run the macro, I get an "Paste Method of worksheet class failed." error.
Sub InsertEmployees()

Selection.EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlDown

I am working on a file which is a log of all the requests we send out to our vendors. We regularly need to re-send these requests to remind them they haven't responded yet, so I am working on a macro which takes the info from the log and re-populates the request form so everything doesn't have to be re-typed every time. I've added a MsgBox as a double-check to force people to confirm they want to re-send the request.
My problem is that if you hit "No" on the MsgBox, then try to run the code again, it gives me a Run-time Error 1004 saying "Paste method of Worksheet class failed". Can someone look at my code and see if you can tell me why it works the first time but not the second?

I have an excel sheet being used as a mini database table.Rows = records, columns = fields. I have some VBA to create a copy of base template in the workbook, then populate the new template with the data from a row/record in the db. I currently have about 100 records. After about the 57th record I recieve RT error 1004. "Copy method of worksheet class failed". I think this is becuase excel is running out of memory. My laptop has 1gig of ram, and i have closed all other apps when running the macro.
Is there a way to free up memory while the vba is running, without clearing my "for" or count position which tells the macro to create a new sheet and which row/record in the db to populate the data in the new sheet.
