View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Userform (PictureViewer) with a.o. a combobox and a textbox on it. The combobox has a picturename with the full path, i.e. C:My DocumentsJohnMy PicsSummer VacationImg_0001.jpg. The textbox will have the replacement name for that picture entered in it while the picture is visible, i.e. Harry and Antoinette (no extension). Pictures get cycled on this Userform with a forward and backward button. When I click the forward button, the next picture opens up and the name of that picture replaces the previous name in the combobox. What I would like to do is on the click of a commandbutton, copy the string (full path) in the combobox to a column (A), starting at the first cell and in the column beside it (B) end up with the new picture name including the full path. In this case, that would be C:My DocumentsJohnMy PicsSummer VacationHarry and Antoinette.jpg. The next picture name I want to change would be in the cells below this. This could go on for many pictures. I have the macro to change the file names once when I have cycled through everything I want to change. Is it possible to do this in one click or do I have to split the drive name, all folder names and picture name, replace the picture name with the new name manually and concatenate it again? The depth of folders can vary of course. The macro for renaming is as follows
Sub RenameTheFiles()
Dim OldName As String
Dim NewName As String
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim I As Long
LastRow = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
For I = 1 To LastRow
OldName = Range("A" & I).Value
NewName = Range("B" & I).Value
Name OldName As NewName
Next I
End Sub
I have an excel template that needs to be copied multiple times and each sheet needs be named according to a list in an excel spread sheet. I also have a formula in the template that needs the value copied instead of the formula.
I got this script from an site and tried it. It runs but I don't see any spread sheets.
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject ("winmgmts:\" & strComputer & "
ootcimv2")
How can I set the SAVE AS file name to equal A1's cell contents? (More specifically, when I need to rename an existing open file and place my cursor in A1 and hit Save As, I need to new file name to automatically populate A1's cell contents so I don't have to retype the contents of A1.)

I've written most of the code that I need... the problem is that I don't know how to properly select, move and rename the pdf from excel.
I have a popup to select the file, and I know what I want it to be called, what I need is the code to move and rename a non-excel file from inside a macro.
Here is what I have so far:
Sub AttachPDF()
Dim LastName As String
Dim Street As String
Dim callDate As String
Dim FilePath As String
Dim HouseNumber As String
Dim FullFileName As String
Dim FileName As String
Dim Scan As String
Range("D32").Select
'Ask user what file they want to attach.
Scan = Application. GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Follow Up Scan, *.pdf", Title:="Please Choose A PDF To Attach")

I want when i want another copy always my path should be "C: estabc.xlsm"
and
For new file in same path "C: estdef.xlsm" an input box ask for the name("def.xlsm") "what new name u want for this new file".
And I input the new name for my file and done.
I've found these functions to assist in renaming a file.
However, I'm not quite sure how to apply to code.
I have some code which will look for a specific file in a given location. Is it possible to use VBA to rename that file without opening/re-saving and killing the specific file?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am using the following code to rename a file that is being pumped out by another program.
Sub CopyAndDelete()
Name "C:Program FilesPATH1234567890_3.tvr" As "C:Program FilesPATHNEWNAME.tvr"
'
End Sub
The problem I have is the the file being pumped has a varible name. The nly constant is the _#.tvr. The first 10 digits are random numbers.
I have persued the "rhymn and reason" for the file name with the vendor and have been told it can not be changed and is random. The "_#.tvr" piece comes from the number of reports I have generated for the day. So I have 5 prefined reports that run each day and can recreate the _0.tvr through _4.tvr but the first 10 are random each time.
I would like for the rename to "ignore" the first 10 digits then looking at the file name.
I have the following code, which I use to open up a .xls file generated from Crystal Reports:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim fexport1 As String ' variables for the exported file
Dim fexport2 As String
Dim wb1 As String 'variables to change between the opened workbooks
Dim wb2 As String
strTemp = "Please Choose The Exported File"
MsgBox strTemp
fexport1 = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls)")
If InStr(fexport1, "False") = 0 Then
Workbooks.Open fexport1
wb1 = ActiveWorkbook.Name
Else
strTemp = "Operation Canceled"
End If
The problem is that Crystal Reports generates the file with an invalid worksheet name (it contains a backslash) and I do not have access to modify the Crystal Report. Althought the file can be automatically repaired by Excel when manually opened, the macro chokes and the "Application.DisplayAlerts = False" does not fix it. The only solution I can think of is renaming the worksheet without opening the file.
I think my code is close but I keep getting an error "Run-time error '1004': Application-defined or object-defined error"
I am trying to rename the active workbook by appending yesterday's date onto the filename, using the Save As.
I might be going about this all wrong anyway. My user needs the macro to save, rename, and close the renamed copy of the workbook but to leave the original workbook open. I'm trying to do it in steps so I might be doing this the hard way. However, my code to Save As is below:
Sub SaveAsRename()
Dim CurrentPath As String
Dim CurrentFileName As String
Dim NewFileName As String
Dim Today As Date
Today = Int(Range("A3") - 1) 'Cell A3 contains the =Today() formula
CurrentPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
CurrentFileName = "QU Backhaul Dispatch "
NewFileName = CurrentFileName & Today & ".xlsm"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=CurrentPath & "" & NewFileName
End Sub
My Locals window has all of the correct values right up to the ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs which is where it fails.

I have a spreadsheet that I enter daily totals into. The sheet is named by date.
I take totals from a number of catagories from the prior day's sheet (ending totals) and enter them on the current sheet (beginning totals), then enter the current day's totals to wind up with new ending totals.
I want to generate a new sheet in the same workbook based on the date of the prior sheet, copy my formatting, and copy the data from the old ending sheet totals to the new sheet beginning totals.
i have my data into sections of finanical week number.

I've been trying to use combo boxes to open, then copy and paste information from specific worksheets the user requests. So far, my approach has been unsuccessful --and the suggestion to simply use the GetOpenFiles procedure was helpful but failed to address more than the "open files" part of my application. Can variables be part of an excel file address as I've tried to use them in the "strFile =" statement immediately below?
