VBA Excel Macro Generates (Automation Error) Randomly Using Office 365

Apr 10, 2014

I have a VBA macro for automatically create a word report using data in Access and Excel. The macro is hosted within a Excel document but are using both Word-, Excel and Access objects/dataTtemplates for the creation.

The errors appears what it seems randomly. The macro iterates the same code a few times even in Office 365 but then it crashes. The most common error messages are:

Error 1:

Run-time error '-2147417851 (80010105)':

Automation error : The server threw an exception.

Error 2:

Run-time error '462':

The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable

Error 3:

This action cannot be completed because the application () is busy. Choose Switch To to activate and correct the problem.

(no options are working, this hang the application)

If I debug usually the error originates from the code where I ether close the workbook template I'm using:

excelWorkbook.Close False

... or when I paste a chart from Excel to the Word report:

wordDocument.ActiveWindow.Selection.PasteSpecial

Even more strange are that sometimes if I continue to run the macro its all working again. This ONLY happens when the client office installation is O365. Office 2013 works just fine. I thought O365 and Office 2013 was fairly equal?

Macro That Auto Generates Email Within Excel

May 26, 2010

I use a Macro that when run, will generate an email with the excel sheet attached. See attached example.

My two questions are:

- Is it possible for the body of the email that is generated to have spaces within the text? So it shows more like the below:

"Good morning,

Please find today's forecast for Friday, May 07, 2010 attached.

FRC Treasury Team"

- Also, the colors in the spreadsheet change automatically when the macro attaches the sheet. Why is this? Is it possible to do something so that this does not happen?

Excel 2013 :: Automation Error Exception Occurred?

Mar 25, 2014

why a macro that works without a problem in Excel 2010 now crashes Excel 2013. The error produced says 'Automation Error Exception Occurred'. If I place a stop in the code and hold the F8 key down, the code runs perfectly (Excel 2013) but if I run it, it will crash. The code is copying a worksheet into a new workbook, adding 2 more worksheets, saving then emailing the workbook before closing. It goes through the routine about 7 times before crashing (sending only 7 email out). It's something to do with the email because I can bypass that code and it runs that part without a problem.

Our office just upgraded all the computers to Office 2013 and I've got to get this macro running again. I had to email 100 reports one-by-one today and I didn't like it.

Changing Worksheet CodeName Generates Error(s)

Jan 14, 2010

Reference: [url]

I delete sheet1, copy sheet3, rename to sheet1 and then attempt to rename the CodeName to Sheet1 as well.
This worked initially with out errors.

Now on the first run of the macro it generates an error:


Run-time error '32813':
Method 'name' of object '_VBComponent' failed

This fails to rename the CodeName of "Sheet1" (.Name)
Run it again and it renames the CodeName but generates yet another error:


Run-time error '-2147221080 (800401a8)':

VBA Code To Auto Fill Formula Generates Error

Nov 17, 2012

Why this error is coming up on a macro. Now to what I'm trying to accomplish is I have 1 sheet called GDL and I want to pull certain data from that sheet into another sheet called data sheet. I have formulas set in the data sheet to pull the information I want. However, I want to create a macro to pull the data for those formula or I guess another way of looking at it would be a auto fill function, except with a macro button. Please see the following error I receive when trying to run the macro.

Run-time error '1004': Autofill method of range class failed. The following is the macro.

Automation Error After Some Iterations?

Jun 11, 2014

Creating a spreadsheet to inventory cups each day. When a macro was invoked do the following:

-unprotect the worksheet

-cut/paste the completed sheet below the current

-bring in the values form the previous day's inventory

-set protection on new spreadsheet to lock the cells

-blank out old values

-reprotect the worksheet

Pretty straightforward and seems to work fine for a few iterations, then crashes with "Run-time error '-2147417848 (80010108)': Automation error. The object invoked has disconnected from its clients.".

As FYI, this code was mostly generated using a record macro session, so no variables involved.

Here is a screenshot of the spreadsheet as it sits now:

UserForm - Automation Error

Aug 5, 2008

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...

IF Function - Design Generator In Excel That Generates Algebraic Expressions

Feb 27, 2013

I am trying to design a generator in excel that generates algebraic expressions.

For example

In cell B4 the formula is RANDBETWEEN(1,12)
In cells C4:29 I have letters a - z listed in a column one letter per cell.

In a separate cell from which excel reads is the formula:

=B4&CHOOSE((RANDBETWEEN(1,26)),$C$4,$C$5,$C$7,$C$6,$C$8,$C$9,$C$10,$C$11,$C$12,$C$13,$C$14,
$C$15,$C$16,$C$17,$C$18,$C$19,$C$20,$C$21,$C$22,$C$23,$C$24,$C$25,$C$26,$C$27,$C$28,$C$29)

For example one possible result would be 3f.

However if the result was 1m, in a separate cell I want excel to realise that B4=1 and then display it as m.

I've attached the spreadsheet as well : algebra.xlsx‎

Automation Error: Object Has Disconnected From Its Client

Jan 18, 2008

I developed an Excel application for some users. Everything used to wrok very well until recently. When the click some buttons, the error "Automation Error: Object has disconnected from its clients" appears. Problem is, everything works very well on my PC. We run the same Excel version, same OS but I can't seem to find a solution to this problem. I'd have posted the code I'm running here but I don't know how to use the code tags and I don't want to be banned from this forum.

Create Checkboxes Out Of Tab Names In Workbook - Getting Automation Error?

Aug 31, 2012

I am getting an automation error

The project is the create checkboxes out of the tab names in a workbook. After that, create a new workbook with the selections made. It is at the point where I pass the array of sheets to be copied that the error occurs. The only thing I can figure is that my variable curWB is not what I think but I declare it to be the original workbook before that point. All of the code is below.

Another possibility is that this code with some other code sits in the worksheet called index. This sheet is being copied to the new workbook also.

VB:
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim oleObj As OLEObject, ole As Object
Dim sheetSelection() As String

[Code]....

Apr 2, 2013

I'm trying to pass a variable from Word to Excel. Basically I have a Word document with a plain text content control in it. I'll have users populate this field. I know how to create a reference to that content contol in Word VBA that'll tell me what's in that content control (eg.

What I can't figure out is how to pass the value of "MyWordVar" to a variable in Excel.

Excel Automation - Timer?

Nov 5, 2009

I have a file that I update daily. It involves opening the file, going to a drop down menu and selecting 1 of the listed items and pressing a button to run the macro. Once the macro is complete, I then go back to the dropdown menu and select the next line item and press the same button to run the macro on this. I repeat this task 7times.

All the macro does is load a txt file to a third party system.

I am looking to see if it is possible to reduce the time it takes to do this task.

ERROR "The Microsoft Office ACCESS Database Engine Cannot Find The Input Table"

Feb 2, 2009

Using a pivot table, I'm linking to an external data source in ACCESS. I use the pivot table wizard, select the database (spend2008.mdb), and then ONE table that is not in a relationship/linked etc, its just a plain table, and then I get the error

"The Microsoft Office ACCESS database engine cannot find the input table or query "mdb.summary". Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly".

This is new spreadsheet, so new join to the data. I'm selecting the table from the Query Wizard, so not possibility of a spelling mistake. I've been all through the database to make sure I haven't set a link or relationship. There are a total of 4 tables in in the DB that are related, but I've deleted the relationships

Excel / Access Report Automation

Sep 10, 2013

I have an Excel report that I'm wanting to know if it can be automated. Basically it starts off in Access, I have a few queries that run via an Access Macro, once the queries are done there is one query via the macro that exports a file of data to excel. I then have a 2nd excel file that is a pivot table that I refresh from the exported Excel file of data from Access. Once refershed, save it, upload it to a Sharepoint Site and send out an email via Outlook. Basically I'm wanting to know if this can be automated to were it runs at like 6am or something before I even get on my computer. I'm not a vba expert, I can do some basic stuff but what takes most people an hour or so to do would take me a day or so. Also would this be easier to just have the pivot update directly to the Access DB?

Opened Up Excel 2010 File In 2013 Now It Won't Work Back At Office

How come in 2013 there does not seem to be an option to "save as" an earlier version of Excel, specifically 2010?

I opened up something from work (2010) at home (2013) and must have refined it (nothing complicated or fancy that 2010 can't do!)

Now it won't open up at work and tells me to reopen and save as the old version.But 2013 won't let me.

Excel VBA Automation For Internet Explorer To Website

Feb 26, 2013

I have been trying for some time to be able to download a file from what I believe to be a FTP site. There are three user input fields which I have been able to identify there names. After these fields are complete there is a button to push which I have also identified it's name.

Once the process of pushing this button is done, an unspecified amount of time must occur for data to be gathered and the option of Open, Save, or Canel appear in a Download window. I would then need to Save and Overwrite an existing file.

No Login or Password is required.

I have been able to automate the open of I.E. and input to the three select fields as well as the necessary button push.

However, I am unable to identify how to automatically save the file into a specified location, with overwrite privileges enabled. Below is my progress
