I have CDO set up on in an excel workbook contained on our network. We have been using the following code for well over a year. It works flawlessly on 12 of our 13 computers. I can send mail through Excel using the following code on my computer. But not on a particular computer. The user at that particular computer can't send mail through the CDO code from her computer but can from other computers.
This problem is definitely isolated to a computer. I had tech support un-install office, use a cleaning tool, then re-install office. The problem persists. Is there a particular setting on this computer that needs to be set that I am unaware of?
Here is the code...
Not exactly what year of Microsoft Excel we have at work buts its between 2007 to 2010.
Doing our weekly KPI on a friday is super stressful and if there is a way so multiple users can edit the excel spreadsheet at the same time?
Because with our excel spreadsheet only one person can edit the document at a time very frustrating at the end of a day on a friday.
Is it just Microsoft not allowing more than one editor at a time?
I currently have a spreadsheet setup on a Macro to send & distribute a message from an 2007 Excel file to multiple users through Microsoft Outlook 2007. It is currently setup to send as an attachment. I need to find a way to have this file be sent as a PDF file. I know you can save Excel as PDF's so there must be a way to send them & attach them to as a PDF.

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.
Does anyone know if there is a way of sending SMS text messages from excel?

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 have a list of a couple of thousand (and more) individual items. I want to filter the list and have a box for users to type in text (there are no numbers) and the results will be seen automatically reducing in number as more text is entered. (Similar to the Windows HELP files )
eg, typing A (or a) will show all entries beginning with A (without pressing
"Enter" or similar
typing AB will show only entries beinning with AB
typing ABO will show .........I guess you will understand the idea.
I have tried various forms of Filter - Auto and advanced - but still cannot get the spreadsheet to do what I want. Unless I am not doing the Autofilter (or Advanced filter) correctly (I am still a relative beginner!) I still cannot find a way of simply adding letters to a cell or input box and the filtering takes place 'automatically' as the letters are added.
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...

Then once the macro runs, the email with the due dates, how can this auto send without user interaction?

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"

I have a spreadsheet which I used in a previous job, which was set up by our old IT Department. Basically, it allows me to save information onto it, which I can then retrieve, (in any conditions/search fields i.e. in a date range etc) but the problem is; when I try to use it on my laptop, I look at the editor used for macros, I can see that the spreadsheet is linked to the servers of my old company. Therefore, I cannot use it myself
I do not know a lot about macros etc. but I can send a copy of the spreadsheet to anybody who is willing to help!
I think it is just a case of changing the macros/strings of where to draw and save information to/from, but I don;t know.

We have a number of internal office servers (Active Directory - Exchange - SharePoint "free" etc etc usual stuff) and I need to create an uptime/downtime calculator in excel with the facility to record the information on a daily, monthly and yearly bases but not sure how to go about this.
I would like a way to record on a daily bases what the uptime/downtime has been for each server and then to record the same for that month in a percentage.
For example in a 24hr period for each month of the year:
For that day Active Directory Server was UP for 24hrs. (100% uptime) - (0% downtime)
X by the number of days in the month i.e.
Over the month Active Directory has been UP for. (XX% uptime) - (XX% downtime)
Exchange Server was DOWN for 1hrs. (95.833% uptime) - (x% downtime)
X by the number of days in the month i.e.
Over the month Exchange has been UP for. (XX% uptime) - (XX% downtime)
SharePoint Server was DOWN for 1hrs. (95.833% uptime) - (x% downtime)
X by the number of days in the month i.e.
Over the month SharePoint has been UP for. (XX% uptime) - (XX% downtime)

How to pull data with a VLOOKUP to a file located on a Server.
My big problem is not understanding the syntax of the Server location. I've provided it below (obviously with some character changes).
I have a file located on my Hard Drive. I need to perform a VLOOKUP from A2 on this spreadsheet. The File on the Server is called "LookupTest.xls". The Range of Data is from Sheet 1 and is from A2:C4 and I need to pull the data from column C depending on what is selected from A2 from the file on my HD. I understand how to use VLOOKUP, just not when I'm pointing to another file on a Server.
Server mapping from Windows Explorer:
rbbabc$ on 'RP17409 - ABC Database (AHSSRVVN678.tge.com)'
Again, that server mapping is fake, as I changed it, but this is how it looks on Windows Explorer.
I'm trying to keep a master file of Data on a spreadsheet found on a server so that one master file can be updated, and several other tools pull from that Master File on VLOOKUP, Validation Lists, etc.
I'm creating my first stored procedure ever and it looks relatively good so far. The problem is with passing the parameters, more exactly:
Arguments are of wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in confilict with one another
The essential part of the stored procedure looks like:
Code:
CREATE PROC GetUserAuthForApp
@User varchar(7),
@application int
AS
while the essential code calling it from VBA looks like:
Code:
Dim strConn As String 'Connection string to SQL Server
Dim strSQLtoExecute As String 'SQL query string to execute
Dim oConn As ADODB.Connection 'Object for connecting
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset 'Object for recordset
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Dim prmUser As ADODB.Parameter
Dim prmApplication As ADODB.Parameter
Dim stProcName As String 'Stored Procedure name

and in that rs.Open comes that error.
