VBA Open Filename Works For Some Users Fails For Others
Sep 23, 2013
My company has several users that access a file (File A) that has a macro in that opens another file on their F drive called TEST.XLS. The code (in File A) to do this is:
Workbooks.Open Filename:="F: est.xls"
Just recently this code has failed for some users but not others. For those where it failed I confirmed that they do indeed have the file located on drive F.
As a test, one of the users where the above code failed ran the macro recorder while opening the file (Test.xls) on their F drive. The recorder produced the following code:
Workbooks.Open Filename:="\companynetsta$jsmith est.xls"
It appears the code is failing because Excel is looking for a UNC path as opposed to a drive letter (F).
I prefer that the code that looks at the Drive letter F be used.
How can I get the following code to workWorkbooks.Open Filename:="F: est.xls" ....for all users that have an F drive?

This script works great in 2003 in formatting text brought from Access, but fails in 97 - unfortunately I don't have direct access to Excel 97 - can anyone with it (or with a compendious knowledge of the differences!)

In sheet 1, I have
Col A Col B
John Sedgwy - R
In sheet 2, I have the following names
Col A Col B
Peter Walker
John Sedgwicky
When I did an array match -> ={MATCH(1,(TRIM($a2)=Sheet2!$A$1:$A$2)*(left(b2,5)&"*"=Sheet2!$b$1:$b$2),0)}
gave me an error but when I did an individual match to both John and Sedgw, it works.

I have a csv file named "BB31_2013-08-01". I would like to open this file via vba and this is not my only file. I also have another similar fileames such as "BB31_2013-08-08", therefore, I try to create some function like yyyy, mm & dd where I can modifie it easily for next file.
Here is my code:
VB:
'change weekly
yyyy = "2013"
mm = "08"
dd = "01"
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"C:Documents and Settings1314228DesktopTest ProgressBB31& yyyy &-& mm &-& dd.csv"

I am trying to skip over any errors associated with the GetOpenFilename window, specifically where the Cancel button is selected, or no files selected. In the code below, I get an error "Object required" at the line shown every time this is run, even when the file path is valid and correct, and then the msgbox appears as a result of the On Error statement .
myExcelFilePath is dim Variant
On Error Resume Next
myExcelFilePath = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel files (*.xls), *.xls", , "locate Report.xls....")
If myExcelFilePath Is Empty Or myExcelFilePath Is Null Then

I try to make a macro for saving an Excel sheet to a .CSV file with "@" as delimiter.
At the line "Open fname For Output As #fnum", the Error 53, "no file found" occurs.
The Excel-help is saying that if the file is not present, a new file will be made.
This error occurs now and then, How to proceed?
Full macro:
Sub SaveAsCSV()
Path = "O:actueel"
Fname1 = Path & Range("E2").Value & ".csv"
fname = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(Fname1, "CSV bestand (*.csv), *.csv", , "")
If fname = False Then
MsgBox "Macro Geannuleerd"
Exit Sub
End If

Below is the code that references a file to import = Jan.txt.
There are different files I want to import, using this macro.
However I have not been successful with creating a variable
and then creating a statement which requires me to input the filename that I want to import for the macro run.
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;U:Jan.txt", Destination _
:=Range("A1"))

I would like to create a macro to open a file in Excel 2007. My problem is that the filename changes often. After updates are made the filename is changed and the old file is moved to a backup folder. So, there is only one similar file in the folder
My filename is "RFQ Worksheet 7 29 2008.xlsx".
The path is "C:Documents and SettingsahaynijDesktop".

I have a Workbook "forecast.xlsx" and several Workbooks which have a individual Number in the Filename (E.g. "3960........xls", "3961.......xls etc.) in the same directory as "forecast.xlsx" + projects"
Now, I would like to browse through "forecast.xlsx" in column H, searching for hyperlinks. In Column H are these Projectnumbers located which are used in the filenames above. Whenever the Cell cointains a hyperlink, following should happen (that far i managed it by myself):
- Store the Cellvalue in a String Variable
- Go to the Directory this.workbook + projects
- browse this folder, searching for a File which contains the stored string in its filename
- open the file
- copy a range
- close file
- This.workbook.Activate
- follow the Hyperlink which has been stored as String before
- paste selection
- continue browsing through column H, looking for the next hyperlink.
I have a VBA which runs bugless, but it copies the wrong range, but to the correct destination.
See the code below:
Sub RESLT_INPUT_ALL()
Dim cell As Object
For Counter = 1 To 1000
Set cell = Worksheets("Projects overview").Cells(Counter, 8)
If cell.Hyperlinks.Count > 0 Then
[Code] ......

Am working on a procedure to open all files in a folder and copy some data from the files into another workbook (master). I have this piece of the code. However, I also need to get the filename (from which data was copied) and paste this into an adjacent cell in the master (so I know which file each data point came from).

I am trying to open a workbook with
Workbook.Open filename:="xxxxx"
The address in the xxxx is something like this "G:AnimalMammalZZZZGorillayyyy.xls"
The ZZZZZ portion is the result of an InputBox.
What is the syntax for placing the result of that InputBox in the middle of the address?

I'm on excel 2010 and I have a small group excel files I open everyday. Most of the files are static in name and location. I've got a macro created to open those files, which works fine with workbooks.open and the file path.
There are two report files I want to incorporate into my macro of workbooks to open. The files are created weekly and the files names have the following format: "Report Name (YYYY-MM-DD).xlsm". I don't want to use the file's last modified date because older files may get edited after the more recent ones are created. The files are also not always created on the same day, so the solution needs to be flexible enough to not refer to a specific day of the week or anything.
Macro open an excel file based on the latest date found in filename.

I've attached a model with my problem highlighted in COLUMN S of the REPORT tab. The model is an example of what the output should be, but if you run "Full Report" (Command Click 1) you'll see that when the VBA code gets to the penetration operation, it fails to paste the value. The identical code works perfectly in the "Subs Report" (Command Click 2). This is the code in question as part of a for loop:

if i run my macro that saves a sheet as a certain name and then prints it, it works, but if i run my macro and the file already exists it asks me to overwrite it. If i select yes it prints it and carrys on with the rest of the macro, (good). If i select no the macro fails. How can i get it so if i hit no, it runs the rest of the macro after the print command?

Haven't done a LOT with forms, but this should work (in my mind) and doesn't.
I'm using a ComboBox linked to a named range of "DATES" for a user to select a date. All I want to do is find that date in column A of the Sheet1.

The code below will enable you to browse for a picture and insert it at cell location O9. It works great in excel '03 but when sub is ran in '07 it places the picture at about cell D5 and not really even lined up perfectly with that cell. Does any one have any idea why this is happening and how to make the sub work correctly in '07?

I have a TextBox on a multipage on a userform. When used, entries are trapped by
Private Sub tbxCrew_Change()
Call OnlyNumbers
The code then successfully shifts to the following
Private Sub OnlyNumbers()
If TypeName(Me.ActiveControl) = "TextBox" Then
At this point, it decides that TypeName(Me.ActiveControl) = "MultiPage", not "TextBox" and skips over to End Sub allowing me to enter both text and numbers in the TextBox.

Before upgrade to Microsoft 2007 this code worked well (for 3 years). I marked it well with big space & comment where it gets hung up. The line says: With Application.Filesearch. All is well up to that point. I have another program that seems to have a problem when it comes to "With Application" as well. It must have to do with the upgrade, because my programs have been used daily, and it was right after the upgrade that it got buggy. All of the users were upgraded to Microsoft 2007 at the same time.
Sub Rpitracking()
'Collects data from records
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim MyCandidate
Sheets("PI Tracking").Activate
Set Level = Range("I5:I100")
Sheets("PI Tracking").Range("J5:Z100").Select
Selection.ClearContents 'Clears info pulled from records
Sheets("PI Tracking").Range("5:100").Font.ColorIndex = 0 'Colors all rows black
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
Range("ID").Offset(1, 0).Select
Selection.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
'Application.Calculation = xlAutomatic
For Each Cell In Level
Cell.Select
If Cell.Value <> "" Then 'Checks to see if Application date us there
If Cells(Cell.Row, 9).Formula <> "" Then 'Checks to see if app date is there
MyCandidate = Cells(Cell.Row, 2) & " " & Cells(Cell.Row, 1)

I have a number of Macro's that work in excel, but when I assign them to a userform I've created they hang... They activate, but where the macro requires a cut/copy, filter etc of data in the worksheet the code Breaks and I have to debug. Very frustrating because they work fine in excel. Its just the introduction of the user form which is giving me trouble. Is there a way of turing off the userform, getting the macro to run, and then reopening the userform... I've tride Userform.hide... but it doesn't seem to work.

I have a macro that sends a sheet via email when the engineer has completed it and clicks a button. I added a filter to some of the results to remove blank lines and now the macro will not work. The problem is that if I remove the filter so that the macro does work, I end up with blank lines again.

I have a large workbook which has about 15 sheets. About half of these are template sheets which are copied multiple times within this workbook. The workbook is very large and can't be posted. I would like to hear from anyone who can give me any direction to look in given the following symptoms. The problem is that VBA code stops executing and gives a 1004 Error. *The problem is stable and reproduceable.
*It occurs exactly the same across three different computers with varying versions of Excel and memory.
*The problem is persistant beyond VBA. By that I mean if I stop the debugger and try to manually copy the active sheet, the screen flashes but the sheet is not copied. Therefore I think the 1004 error is a symptom rather than a cause
*From scratch, I get to copy 43 times before I get the error.
*If I then save the workbook and re-open (don't need to close Excel) I then get to copy another 27 sheets.................................
