VBA - Create Folder With Date In Name, Populate With Sheets


I have a workbook that will have many modules (5) that will perform all sort of checks etc. The output for each module is a worksheet that i need to export to a new workbook named with the name of the original sheet and current date appended e.g. "Dbase 27 06 2008.xls".

Every time any of the 5 modules is run a check is performed whether a folder with a specific name and date exists e.g. "Audit Tool 27 06 2008" and if it does not exist yet to create it. The new workbook should be saved to this folder with above mentioned name e.g. "Dbase 27 06 2008". I found some info on this topic but I just cannot assemble all pieces of code together (I am new to this).

VBA To Create A New Folder From A Textbox Value
I don't know if anyone has tried this but it possible using vba to create a new folder in a directory from the text of a textbox?

I have made a userform that I use to collect a persons first name & surname.

I then created a folder in a directory manually (e.g Z:spnzphotos)

I then scan their photo and place it into the folder.

Is it at all possible to have a piece of code that once I press a command button is creates folder ready for me to add the photo to?

Create Automatic Link To Files In Same Folder
I have two files,

1. Form Templete & 2. Student Data Index. (Both files will be placed in same folder)

About Form Templete : This is a simple form, containing some fields. Fields which i require are Form No., Student's name & Standard.

About Student Data Index : This file is to maintain records.
Each time when I fill form for a new student i will copy paste the form templete file & rename it by form no. (Entered in the Form Templete file, Form No. field)

My question is : Is it possible that whenever i create a new file in the same folder with student's name the required fields in the Student data Index get filled automatically, apart from that the new file created get hyperlinked & when i click on form no. the form for that student gets open?

Populate Summary Sheet With Same Cell From Multple Sheets
I'm attempting to pull the same cell ($a$1) from multiple sheets into one summary sheet, populating a column in a table.

I though I might accomplish this by putting an array formula in the desired column of my summary sheet that was similar to the following, to pull cell A1 from every sheet between the Frst Sheet and the Last Sheet.

For example:

=FirstSheet:LastSheet!:$a$1 (CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER)

This gives me #REF errors.

The values in $a$1 on each sheet are Text (addresses)

Anyway I can do this without Macros? The number of sheets between the First and Last will vary at any given time.

Populate Listbox With Column Headers From Multiple Sheets
I am trying to go through each worksheet and if the worksheet name is Hematology then the header columns will be put into the listbox (ListBox1). The first row of the header is the parameter and the second is the units. Ideally I'd like column 1 to have the first headr row and column 2 to have the second header row. Once the listbox is completed, the user can select multiple columns by the header and those columns will be deleted. I have the ListStyle set to 1-fmListStyleOption and MultiSelect set to 1-fmMultiSelectMulti

The only thing I get when I run the rubroutine is a userform (Hematology), an empty listbox (ListBox1) and my two command buttons (Nothing to Delete and Remove Parameters).

Private Sub Hematology_initialize()
Dim Wrkst As Worksheet
Dim Header1 As Range
HeaderRange1 As String

For Each Wrkst In Worksheets
If Wrkst.Name = "Hematology" Then
For i = 1 To Wrkst.ColumnCount
Set Header1 = Wrkst.Cells(5, i)
HeaderRange1 = Header1.Address & ":" & Header1.Offset(1, LastColumn).Address
With Hematology.ListBox1
'Clear old ListBox RowSource
.RowSource = vbNullString
'Parse new one
.RowSource = HeaderRange
End With
Next i
End If
Next Wrkst

Auto-populate Data To A Master Worksheet From Other Sheets In A Shared Workbook
I have never really used VBA and so am completely stuck at this problem. I need to create a macro which auto-populates a master worksheet from the individual user sheets in a shared workbook. Sheet 1 is the master sheet "Team Stats". There will be an undetermined number of individual worksheets to accomodate new staff. Each worksheet will be identical, using columns A-I with row 1 having the headings:

Date, Name, Reference, Value, Price, Age, Purchased?, Destination, Add. Products (the last 3 columns will have a drop-down list which will be used to enter data into the cell). There will be a varying number of rows in each of the individual sheets. If possible I would like the macro to run every time data is entered into one of the individual worksheets. If this is not then it would be fien to update every time the workbook is opened.

MAX Function To Populate The Most Recent Date In A Series
I have used the MAX function to populate the most recent date in a series.
-EX. the most recent date input into the cells S8, T8, U8 will populate in cell R8. There is a default value of 0-Jan-00 that automatically populates in cell R8 as a result of the MAX Function. Any value that is input into cell S8, T8, U8 will show in cell R8 immediately after being input as a result of the MAX Function.

I need cell R8 to remail blank until the last of cells S8 or T8 or U8 has been input (in no specific order). Once the last cell has been filled; it is only at that time I need cell R8 to show that most recent date input into any of cells S8 or T8 or U8. I can't hide the column, I need cell R8 to remain empty until the last of the three cells- S8, T8, U8 has been filled (the last cell filled will not always contain the largest value or most recent date).
