UserForm: File/Path Access Error & I/O Error
Dec 19, 2006
the spreadsheet needs to be copied to a directory called "C:downloads" as it contains a ODBC query to itself (In reality, this is a query to an External Oracle Database)
On loading, it should pop up a simple userform, with a combo and two command buttons, which when pressed takes you to a (hidden) tab that displays a pivottable.
All works well until I try to close /save when 60% of the time, Excel encounters problems and closes and will not load up the file the next time until either quit excel or disable macros. Messages include "file/path access error", "I/O Error" or get restarts excel.
On a casual run through, I expect you might report back that "All worked ok for me". Please can you give it a bit of a thrashing, comment out the userform show, save the file (frequently) becuase i assure you it will break ultimately!
This is a brand-new file and I've tried it on about 5 different PC running different versions of Excel and generally get the same result.

I have an excel 2003 template containing a userform that is displayed using the workbook_open event.
The userform causes excel to crash with file/path error 75. i have tried many suggestions given on ozgrid and several other forums with no joy.
When the userform crashes, the debugger stops on DataFormNew.show.
I have added stop commands in the initialise procedure to see what is going on and it appears that my userform has disappeared!
to upload the excel template and any other information required to get this sorted.
its size is 765 KB which exceeds the size limit to attach to the post.
here is the workbook_open macro:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'On Error GoTo MyError
'Call UnProtectAll
'Dim frm As UserForm
'For Each frm In UserForms
' Unload frm
'Next

The attached spreadsheet is as simple as it gets - a single userform with a combo box that allows 1 of 4 choices. It gets loaded and displayed in the workbook_open() event - or at least it should - but 9/10 times i get the message "Path/File error" and debug crashes out on the userform.show line. The next time I try and open the file (despite not saving it) Excel crashes and closes! Even re-starting Excel does not allow the file to be opened!
If, however, I open the file with macros disabled, and go into the VBE and manually run the workbook_open() all works fine. I'm using Excel 2003 and I've tried it on other installations - sometimes it will work, other times not.
I've tried every combination of userform load, unload, hide & show with similar results.

When loading my workbook, my userform loads perfect, but when I go to hit the "next" button. It crashes with the error:
"Path/File access error."
The next button code, quite simple: ....

We have built quite a large Excel based program that contains quite a lot of coding. the program seems to work fine the majority of the time but every so often we recieve an error message that causes excel to not save, or to crash and shut down.
The message that comes up is "File/Path Error"
Now I've just done some hunting around online and some links I have found speak of declairing the document location correctly in the coding. I was wondering could this be the issue at hand?
Anytime the document needs to save, there is a cell with the directory path and file path declared as a variable (Actually as Dim String) within the coding. Is this the best way to declare a file path?
Also, the problem seems intermittent. We Compile the VBA coding before saving, we also use a Clean Project add-in within Excel. These processes usually help but every so often the problem comes back.

I am getting the following run time error when trying to use MoveFolder from the scripting runtime library:
run-time error ‘76’
path not found
The source and destination paths are picked up out of cells and I think the spaces in the name or the length of the path names may be causing the problem.
The source folder looks something like this (contains 50 characters):
K:Example123 Folder1AB CD ESubfold,XX abcdefgh
The destination folder looks something like this (contains 60 characters):
K:Example123 Folder1XX New123AB CD ESubfold,XX abcdefgh
The code is pretty basic:
Sub MoveFolder(Sourcepath As String, Destinationpath As String)
Dim FSO As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Set FSO = New Scripting.FileSystemObject
'some code here removes the trailing backslashes on the
'end of the pathnames
FSO.MoveFolder Sourcepath, Destinationpath
End Sub
I have double checked the source path name exists. I have also tried doing it manually with the path names being entered in as text but i keep getting the error.

I'm trying to loop thru the various sheets in a workbook but am having trouble accessing the current sheet name. what I have below does not work and I am stuck with how to access the current sheet name, interrogate it for what it is named, and skip processing if it is a particular name.
Private Sub dispnames()
Dim b As Integer
Dim r As Integer
Dim iSheetCount As Integer
Dim iSheet As Integer
Dim sh As Worksheet
Dim wsht As Object
iSheetCount = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
For iSheet = 1 To iSheetCount
wsht = sh.Name
If wsht = "summary" Then
Goto skipit
End If
Worksheets(iSheet).Activate
r = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("A2:" & "A" & r).Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("summary").Select
b = Range("Z" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1
Range("Z" & b).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
skipit:
Next iSheet

The program was working as expected until I decided to add a save file element that was a copy paste of some code a friend gave me (attached below). Funny thing is the save file functionality works but now I can't get IE to load the webpage - I get a 438 Error. I'm thinking there's a problem with something in the references menu.

I have a variable ("DestFile") that defines a path to a file (used in saving the file)...
I'm in the process of getting a Sub to hyperlink to this file, but in some circumstances, I may only want to hyperlink to the folder, not the actual file...
How would I go about trimming the "DestFile" address to get a "DestFldr" address?...
An example of "DestFile" might be;
S:BryanFor KenGulf ConstructionST0609014-t.xls
(the file name length may vary)
What code can I use to consistently trim it back to;
S:BryanFor KenGulf Construction
as the "DestFldr" variable?

When it opens the desired file, it increments the file name by 1 each time it is opened (via the macro).
Example;
The first time it is opened you see the file name in the header read "P'Binder L&T Pages" for a moment, then it changes to "P'Binder L&T Pages1"...
I close the file and open it again (via the macro), and see the file name in the header read "P'Binder L&T Pages" for a moment, then it changes to "P'Binder L&T Pages2"...
The file name continues to increment on every opening until the PC is rebooted, then it starts at 1 again.
Sub OpnLTpages()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim AlreadyOpen As Boolean
AlreadyOpen = False
For Each wb In Workbooks 'Scan open workbooks
If wb.Name = "P'Binder L&T Pages.xls" Then ........................

I have an application using two userforms. Following sequence is used:
1. Open Userform1 (with uf.show)
2. click on a commandbutton in userform1 opens a second userform on top of userform1.
3. Close userform2 with commandbutton on userform2 (userform2.hide)
(I did not want the user to close the UF via the "X" )
Runtime error 402 : Must close or hide topmost modal form first
So, I changed my code so when the user clicks the commandbutton in userform2
userform1.hide (which is the topmost)
userform2.hide
But again I get the same error.

I created a UserForm (userform1) and added a label to it which essentially just says: "Pick a Colour"...
The other UF controls are added on the fly using the below code...however when I try to add the event to each button I get the Automation Error but I don't really understand how / why... the events are actually added to the VB project ok...
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim NewButton As MSForms.CommandButton
Dim ws_i, line As Integer
Dim clr_str As String
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
I added a dummy routine for test purposes which is to be invoked on click of UF button control (I have tried placing this code in a standard module, within UF module etc to no avail):
Sub HIDE_WS(clr_id As Long)
MsgBox clr_id
End Sub
So to reiterate -- when I invoke the initialisation of the UF I get the following error:
Automation Error
The object invoked has disonnected from its clients
All events are added for each control.
If I remove the adding of the events I know the UF populates with the correct controls etc...

I am populating a UserForm from some ranges on my workbook. All is well EXCEPT for the third guy down- "lstCheckDep". The only difference I can figure out is that the cell it is drawing from has a date format. How can I adjust for this so that it's contents can go on the UserForm, without getting hung up on the formatting?
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
lblCandidate.Caption = Range("Rcandnam").Value & " - #" & Range("ID").Value
lstCheckCntry = Range("RCountry").Value
lstCheckDep = Range("RDeparture").Value
lstCheckTrack = Range("rTrack").Value

I've created a userform on one computer which launchs when I open the excel workbook. The userform contains comboboxs and a picture. But when i saved it on another computer and tried to open it and it errors. (Run-Time error 9). (Still works fine on the computer that created it). All references are to this workbook only. Userform is contained within the Forms folder of this workbook(not personal.xls) and the userform name is PDM_SPLASH1. Also, if i go into VBA I can see the form, but it wont launch when i try to play in manually. (Run-Time error 9)
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
