I am encountering a situation wherein each line of VBA code is essentially compiled as I type on that line, instead of when I move to a different line. For example, if the code I entered is incorrect, the compiler waits about half a second and then turns it red. Also, if I enter a space, it deletes it immediately.
View 4 RepliesI would like to do is develop a stand alone program in Visual Basic ( not in Excel VBA) to update the price file in our Portfolio system automatically using the downloaded Excel format file csv extention file from the BigCharts. But before that, I need to export the *.pri file from our Portfolio system in to Excel which still saves as *.pri extention. Then once it updates, I import the updated *.pri file back in our Portfolio program. I understand that the Excel VBA code can be incorporated in Visual Basic code provided there is an object declaration for Excel file (In this case eventhough the both files are in Excel format, they don't have xls extention). how to use external files and Excel VBA code in Visual Basic?
Below is the code that I currently have in Visual Basic. What I'm trying to accomplish is using the ticker (eg. msft) as a keyword search to look up in the price file. If found , the price of that ticker from the test.csv file will be copied in to the price file which is test.pri. I haven't ran it yet.
Sub UpdatePrice(BigChartPath As String, BigChartName As String, AxysPricePath As String, AxysPriceName As String)
'Below are Excel VBA codes
'Uses the test.csv to look up tickers in test.pri and update the price in it
Dim PriceFile As Workbook, BigChartFile As Workbook
Dim PriceFileSheet As Worksheet, BigChartSheet As Worksheet
Dim MaxRows As Long
Dim PriceFileRow As Long
Dim BigChartRow As Long
Dim BigChartFound As Boolean
Call CheckBookOpen(BigChartPath & BigChartName)
Call CheckBookOpen(AxysPricePath & AxysPriceName)
Set BigChartFile = Workbooks(BigChartName) 'Big Chart website imported CSV file saved as test.csv...............
how I can get to the visual basic toolbar in excel 07. In previous versions there was a visual basic toolbar and it allowed you to add buttons, ect. Where is this in 2007?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a code you can type in to VBA to allow a picture in a spreadsheet to change when a parameter is specified. For example i have a picture of a timber beam i drew in excel. and i wondered if i could set it up so that when the user inputs the length of beam they are using, the diagram alters to show the length specified.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy company "makes widgets". Each "type of widget" is associated in our internal database with a record locator (five alpha characters). Our company website can also use that record locator to pull up a webpage specifically dedicated to that widget. In addition to the webpage itself, the website also creates an expanded URL which contains additional information about that widget.
I'd like my macro to take a list of record locators, open up the company website related to each specific widget, pull back the expanded URL, and do some text management with the URL to populate other parts of the spreadsheet.
For example, if my record locator is "ABCDE", my macro would go to the website, "http://www.widgets.com/ABCDE". The site then redirects to an expanded URL: "http://www.widgets.com/whole-bunch-of-data-about-the-ABCDE-widget". I'd hope to write a macro which pulls back the expanded URL and does some magic with the "whole bunch of data" part. I've been told that the MSHTML library would be useful for a project of this type. I've been able to connect my spreadsheet to that library, but then I'm not sure what to do with it.
Is it possible to have Excel tap into an Access database and call up a function?
I have an Excel sub that looks like so
Have a project going and have had a disturbing trend develop. I'm working in Excel 2003. Upon opening the file and enabling macros, I started receiving File/Path errors, at which point it would shut down the application. When opened, I have a splash that would come up, but it wouldn't go to the next userform. At this point I would get the error message and the file would be closed. If I then reopened the file, disabled macros, saved under a different file name, and then reopened with macros enabled, everything worked fine, until I shut it down and then tried to reopen, at which point the same error would occur.
Lately I have simply been getting the Microsoft Excel dialogue box telling me an unexpected error occurred and it had to be shut down. I'm at a loss for what is causing this. The last time this happened, when Excel recovered the file, it told me a repair had been done, and the repair was to basically delete all of the VBA code from the file.
I'm sure this is something I've accidently pressed while using VB. My text cursor has changed from the usual 'I' shape to a black box shape. Now instead of adding text where I'm typing it now types over previous work. Is there an easy fix for this.

I have a VB problem, and it's driving me nuts.
Whenever I run a macro on excel the Microsoft VB editor opens and shows me what the macro looks like. It also runs the macro.
Now, I would very much like it to keep running macros, but I really don't need to see my code every time. It gets really annoying, and I need to run about 40 or 50 different macros on one sheet. How can I make it go away?
