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?

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).

I'm trying to create a link to a folder and to insert it in a cell. The folder name is: "C:DISCO CTEMPLATES #1". I tried to copy that text and paste it into the cell. Excel recognizes that as a hyperlink but when I click the cell a message appears: "Cannot open the selected file" Could the problem be because of the "#" symbol?

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?

Create Hyperlink In Userform Textbox
sometimes i'll have some text i want to show in a userform textbox. let's say the text happens to be in a sheet named story, and it is in A1 of the worksheet.

A1 says, for example:


" The next big thing can be found by clicking here "
if the note above were on a web page, all you'd have to do is click on 'here' and you are off the the next big thing. but so far, when i use this code to bring the text in story!A1 into the userform textbox all i get is the text. there is no 'clickability' as it were.

Me.textbox.Value = Range("story!A1").Value
is there some bit of code magic one can use to make a userform textbox function with html code?

I want to enter these two paths in a sheet in my excel report file (For example, I am running the report from Report1.xls, in which there is a sheet name "Filepaths". In this,

in B5, I would like to enter the Filepath (B5 named as "FILEPATH")
in B6, I would like to enter the Folderpath (B6 named as "FOLDERPATH")

So that, if I am copying the folder to another area, I no need to change the code every time in the VBA editor. I can do changes in these cells and it will be taken as the path to run the code further.

Autocomplete In A Textbox Using Vba
I have an excel file with a large amount of data. It is used to keep track of our firms past and current projects (on each row). The columns include data such as the name of the client and the city in which the project is located.

The excel sheet is set up with filters, so that it is easy to check which jobs we've done for client 'X', for instance, or the jobs initiated since a certain date.

In order for the filters to work properly, we need to make sure that, as an example, teh client name has to always be inputed in the same manner. Using excel's autocomplete option works well for this.

New projects are added to the top of the list. So, a new row has to be added each time a new project is inputted.

In order to automate things, I've made a userform with text/comboboxes in which the data for the new project is inputted and then placed onto the sheet once the userform is closed.

My question is this:

Is there a way to have the text/comboboxes on the userform use the autocomplete feature? As an example, if I'm entering the client name for a new project, is there a way to have the textbox autocomplete the client name by checking in the client column on the sheet? And, if there is more than one client starting with the same letter, is it possible to make a listbox appear showing all the clients beginning with that letter so the correct one can be picked?

Since the list of clients will always be changing, I don't want to code a certain set list, or have to continually update a list. (besides, the amount of coding would be huge considering the number of clients I would have to give it's own .AddItem)

Adding Macro To TextBox In VBA
I've got a userform which adds Textboxes automatically depending on a certain value. And the amount of Textboxes varies from 1 - 100. I add them with the line:

Set MyControl = UserForm1.Frame1.Controls.Add("forms.textbox.1", strControl, Visible)

Now my question is:
Can I add a macro to each of these textboxes automatically? A macro for the Change event I think it is.

All textboxes would have the same macro.

I kinda hoped it would be one of the following:
MyControl.OnAction = "test"
MyControl.Change = "test"

VBA To Create New Sheet ...
I would like to be able to have a macro, linked to a button, so that when you press that button it creates a new named sheet based on data in a particular cell.

I.e. There is a table with the following data:
Apples (A1)
Oranges (A2)
Pears (A3)

There are also the sheets Apples, Oranges & Pears.

You enter 'Grape' in cell A4, then when you press the button it creates a new sheet named Grape.

Also when a new sheet is created, the 'input cell', in this case A4, is moved down one so that when the next sheet is needed to be added, it doesn't just add the same sheet (i.e. in the example above, we don't end up with a new sheet named 'Grape' each time we click the button).

I found this really cool code that creates a tag cloud in Excel using VBA.

What I am trying to do is search through a list of keywords and determine each keyword's density within a list. The list for example could look like this:

slow windows xp
windows xp running slow
windows xp computer
[slow windows xp]
[windows xp running slow]
[windows xp computer]
[computer running slow windows xp]
"computer running slow windows xp"
"slow windows xp"
"windows xp running slow"
"windows xp computer"

You'll notice the characters " [ ] of which I would like to ignore when the cloud builds. The cloud would list the most dense keywords first, and gradually decrease to the least dense keywords. The macro code is inside the workbook but I'll list it here to:
