How to send a range of cells in a sms text message by using Visual Basic for Applications in Excel?
BTW: I really need this to work for my job! So any feedback would be greatly welcomed. Please read below to understand what I'm trying to do. I need to be able to send my guys their daily goals via sms text message:
The following works great for sending a range of cells in a email message: ....
I would like excel to send an SMS text message (via Skype maybe?)when a particular set of conditions arise in a spreadsheet. I am not sure if this would be best carried out with spreadsheet functions or vba, or if it is possible at all.

Similar to this, but instead of an attachment the email body contains the data from sheet1

I wish to send a message when a worksheet is manually opened, but not when it is activated from within VBA.
The following code does not work, and I am open to suggestions
Private Sub Worksheet_Open() ....
VB:
Sub exitbox()
MsgBox "This will close in 20 seconds"
If Application.Wait(Now + TimeValue("00:00:20")) Then [code]...
I am trying to close this msgbox 20 seconds from now, but I cannot get it working.
I did this 10 years ago so I admit I am rusty at this but here are what I had in my notes that worked with Excel XP. I am currently using Excel 2010
With ThisWorkbook
.HasRoutingSlip = True

The last line will send the workbook but I need a Subject and Message to go with it.
I have a spreadsheet with client names, email addresses, and appointment info. I export a .csv file from outlook. I have been doing a mail merge in word and then coping and pasting into an Outlook message and sending it out. I did some reseach and found code that I have made changes to. Of course they it doesn't work. I can't get anything to happen when I run this code.
Code:
Sub Qualls_Email_Confirms()
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Dim cell As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
[Code] .........
get the code for sending multiple emails as per the spreadsheet list. Assume the spreadsheet has 100 line items and each columns specifies the name of the person, value, recipient email address ("To" and "CC") and sender name.
And the Body of text is :
Hi "Name of the person" Please find the value of "Value" to be paid for the moth of xxx and kindly let me know for further clarification.
I am using Windows XP and Office 2003.
I am looking to automate a process where information is sent to someone in a text format and they in turn transfer that data to an excel file. It basically looks like this (but includes a lot more info):
Service Request #: 123456
Instrument Type: New Instrument
Lot/Serial #: 123456
SR Type: Product Complaint
Service Coverage: Maintenance Agreement
The info on the left (text preceding the colon) is always the same but the values following the colon can change. The excel file has all of the text before the colon and they just enter the information into the cells. I am looking to make it so that an Excel macro (or maybe a word/outlook macro) automatically scans the text document and sends this info to the exact same cells in excel every time.
The text file is actually a message from an Oracle database and I am not going to be able to make any changes to the way the data comes in.
How do I send a text file to a usb dot matrix printer as opposed to a parallel port.
I have an Excel spreadsheet that prints labels on a dot matrix printer. Until now the printer used a parallel port. My Excel workbook generates a text file "C:PRINTLABEL.TXT". I then execute a shell command to run a batch file called
"C:PRINTLABEL.BAT". The BAT file contains the line
----------------------
copy C:PRINTLABEL.txt lpt3
------------------------
The shell command contains the lines (not all lines are shown)
-------------------
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler ' Enable error-handling routine.
RetVal = Shell("C:PRINTLABEL.BAT") ' PRINTS LABEL.
Exit Sub ' Exit to avoid handler.
----------------------------------------
Now I have to deal with a newer dot-matrix printer (EpsonLX300+II) that is able to use a USB port.
How do I print the plain txt file to the printer using the USB port (LPT1/2/3 are all parallell ports, so the batch file does not work as it stands.
I used Scheduled Task to set up my spreadsheet to open daily. I have the code with assistance to pull out the due date items and place them into an email.
I have come across XLSTART/AUTOEXEC/ACTIVATE...ETC...
But cannot figure out the code that will automatically "enabling macro" once Scheduled Task opens the spreadsheet?
Then once the macro runs, the email with the due dates, how can this auto send without user interaction?
(currently I would have to hit send)
I am trying to make the process totally automated to open the spreadsheet at a certain time, send the email with due dates and close the spreadsheet.

We use proprietary software to connect to an oracle database. The proprietary software has its own login form. I connect to 4 or 5 different databases randomly throughout the day. I wrote a script that I thought would alleviate my login woes but it doesn't work. The login, password, and database info get sent to the form but they all end up on the login line. Instead of the tab character being sent, I get a Beep generated for each line of code that is supposed to send the tab key code. My code is below and is stored in a *.vbs file.
setwshShell =wScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wshShell.AppActivate "Title Of My Login Form"
wScript.Sleep 100
wshShell.SendKeys "My Login Name"
wScript.Sleep 500
wshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"
wScript.Sleep 500
wshShell.SendKeys "My Password"
wScript.Sleep 500
wshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"
wScript.Sleep 500
wshShell.SendKeys "Name of My Database"
wScript.Sleep 500
wshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}"

Right now when I send/receive an HTTP request, I have the text displaying in a MSG Box. I want to just have the text inserted into cell A1 instead. I know I have to alter MsgBox MyRequest.ResponseText, but anything Ive altered it to, doesn't seem to work.
Code:
Sub http()
Dim MyRequest As Object
Set MyRequest = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
MyRequest.Open "GET", _

I'm trying to setup vb message box code on a group on cells so it looks at cells that doesn't belongs to 'ortho'. I want the message box to appears when it's not 'ortho'.
Cells between A1 to A10 will show ortho, but if one of those cells contains a different text when entered (a human error), this is where a would like the message box to appear saying something like 'Title name "Error Group"; 'message saying "this person is not part of this group"
I have used a database template from this site and changed it to suit my needs but I have a bit of a problem with some of the code. I know how to update the worksheet with the relevant userform text fields and in another project I did I have successfully sent userform text fields in the body of an email.
For this project I want to update the worksheet AND send an email at the same time. However, using the two pieces of code together is causing an error that I can't seem to solve (using my very limited vba knowledge!). The code I am working on is below and I have highlighted the line that is getting the error message. C

I am trying to write a macro to send mail on every Friday and also on last day of every month. If the last day of the month falls on Saturday or Sunday then the macro should mail on Friday. I have written a separate macro to send a mail. I have also written to check day(ie Monday, Tuesday etc) of today. If today is Friday or month end i can send mail. I dont know how to tell the macro to send mail on friday if the month last date is saturday or sunday.

Dim str As String
sorry = "Today is not friday or month end. So i cannot send mails"

I've got a messagebox in my VBA code and I would like to bold the title of the filename that I've stored in a variable. My message box code (even though you probably don't need to see it) is as follows:
MsgBox ("There has been error. Please check the file - " & strFile & " and make sure there are no #REF errors." & vbCrLf _
& "If there are, correct the errors, save the workbook and regenerate the report. If the error still persists, reboot your machine and try again.")
Is this possible, and if so, how would I go about bolding the strFile variable?
Is there a quick Macro I could use to rearrange text in a cell. For example our organisation list all the departments in an unconsistant way and it makes finding the departments hard using A-Z. For example some department will say "Department of ...", "Dept of ...", Division of ..." or "Div of ...". (Obviously excluding the quotes).
What I wanted to know is this. If you highlight the range you wish to work with, could you use a message box to ask you what text you wish to edit and then automatically search the range and make the changes.
For example search for "Dept of " (note I would need to keep the space after of otherwise I would have leading spaces) so that "Dept of ABC" becomes: "ABC, Dept of" and say "Division of XYZ" becomes "XYZ, Division of"
Can data validation be used to enter a text message if no numeric value is entered in the cell?
I want to force the cell to have to be populated with a number and if not show "--".
I want to be able to specify inside the message the word that is in cell F6. So it would say "You Must Give A Reason For The Amount Of Mgr Voids For Shawn"... shawn being the name in cell F6.
If Range("F9").Value > 50 Then
MyInput = Application.InputBox("You Must Give A Reason For The Amount Of Mgr Voids For This Employee")
If MyInput = "" Then End
If MyInput = False Then End
ActiveSheet. Unprotect ("13792468")
ActiveSheet.Range("F9").AddComment
Range("F9").Comment.Visible = False
Range("F9").Comment.Text Text:="" & Chr(10) & (MyInput) & Chr(10) & ""
ActiveSheet.Protect ("13792468")
End If
iam trying to hightlite the textbox text after the error message.

In a range of cells (e.g. B26-B40) I have names (first name and second name or first initial and second name). This data is carried from sheet 1 to the second sheet via formula. Some cells may be blank as well.
A VB code to display a message when the user changes the name in any of these cells with data or adds a new name to a cell that is blank, in sheet2
A user inputs a string into a message box. A particular cell on a worksheet is then given the value of this string. I would like to have this cell automatically format to Wrap Text if the string is longer than 100 characters and skip to the next line after each 100 characters. However, if 101th character is part of a word, then that word would be on the next line. If the string is less than 100 characters then the cell is simply given the value of the inputted string ( I know how to do this )
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble with copy-paste-from-outlook-to-excel routine. Is there a way where I can get a certain text (or numbers, perhaps) from an outlook email message and transfer it to an excel? It is fine to copy and paste one or a hundred emails, but it already exceeds 30 thousand email messages. I just wanted to know is there is a way for me to simplify my work through VBA.
Here is a sample of the email body:
"The lead with phone number 1231234567 is in the federal DNC list and has been rejected. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. This email was automatically generated, please do not reply to it."
In this email body, i wanted to get only the number 1231234567 and paste it in the excel.
I needs to send one way text message to pop up on my student's screen. THey don't have office installed but my vb net2005 program. My network is just a simple peer to peer. Can I do this by just using tcp/ip and not installing any other service?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a file that the user selects and when they enter a value (in this case, a job title) into the input box, my macro looks for the value in that file. If the value is there, a msgbox pops up that lets the user know that the value was found and it then goes to that cell, displaying in the next msgbox the cell address of where the value was found. I already have the code down for this part of the macro.
My problem is what happens if the file has the same value more than once. Ideally, I'd like to display a message box that returns the addresses of both cells with the same value and then prompts the user to select one of these values as the value they are looking for. I am not sure if a msgbox or a msgbox and then an input box are most appropriate for this situation. Once the user does this, the macro continues. The rest of my macro is built on the cell where this value is, so it is crucial that I make sure there is at least one value selected. Any help is much appreciated. I have included a sample worksheet of what this situation might look like.
Here is the code I presently have for this part of my macro.
Sub GetOpenFileName()
strFind = InputBox("Please enter the job title you wish to search for:", "Search for job title in this file")
If strFind = vbNullString Then Exit Sub
With Sheets(strSheetsMainCompProfile)
If WorksheetFunction. CountIf(Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(100, 100)), "*" & strFind & "*") = 0 Then
MsgBox strFind & " cannot be found on this sheet"
Else
I have an excel file with many worksheets. I want to get a pop up message providing definitions of different subjects when they are entered from a drop down list in a specific range within a column to improve the users understanding of the subjects.
Worksheet 1

Subjects from drop down list in specified range: "x,y,z"
Pop up message: "Definitions of x,y,z"
Do I have to make a new module, or write the macro in the selected worksheet? What should be the settings of the macro (general, worksheet, declarations etc.)
I've set up an email to be sent via a macro (excel 2007 and outlook) and I expanded the body of the message and it now comes up with an error "Compile error: invalid outside procedure"
