XLS File Type Association With Two Versions
Apr 8, 2008
I am changing the file type association for .XLS to
C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice11excel.exe
I'm using "Change" and "browse" to set it to that exact file. However it still starts version 12 (XL2007) which is dual installed with version 11 (XL2003).
I was successful in creating a shortcut that opens version 11, despite Microsoft's apparent attempt to thwart that; now I need to fix the file association. (Try to directly edit the Office links in your XP Start Menu - how the target is grayed out?

On column "F" I have all the names listed, they are all lowercase, and with different length. How do I write a formula to turn those names into numbers?
For an example. In column F1 I have "James". And using letters = numbers
9 = A L T
8 = B N W
7 = E P X
6 = G R Y
5 = I J
4 = H S
3 = F Q Z
2 = D O U
1 = C M V
I would like the column G1 to display "59174"?
Would need the convention from letters to numbers on Column G adjacent with the name.

I have a macro-enabled template file in Excel 2007. I would like the user to be unable to save in any format other than macro-enabled. They should be free to choose a path and filename, but not the file type.
I presume this means some VBA code in the before save event, but I don't know what.

Using Excel 2010
As I am looping through files in a folder, I would like to determine if the file is a text file.
The problem is that all extensions are variable in a pattern such as .078, .051, etc.
In this instance, the extensions are numeric, but I'm trying to figure out a way to handle that is all encompassing to include *.txt, *.tsv, *.csv, *.prn, etc......
How can I handle these efficiently?

I have been asked to fix a macro that is supposed to search column B and find any cells ending with .mov. Any row fitting the criteria is to be copied to Sheet2. The file is a internet traffic log and we are trying to determine the number of downloads we have on our video files, which are all .mov format. Sheet1 can exceed 3000 rows.
Here's what I have so far:

I am getting a Type Mismatch Error when I run the following code.
I need to have the name save as
06-01-2012 dispositions.xlsx
in a specific location that is in this line of code. When i have it put 'dispositions' first, it works, but i need the date to show first in the name. Am I missing an additional function or quotes?
HTML Code:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:DataSales TeamReview DatabseDispositions" & Year(Date) & "" & MonthName(Month(Date)) Format(ActiveSheet.Range("H1"), "mm-dd-yyyy") & "dispositions.xlsx", FileFormat:=51

is it possible to change the settings on your computer so that when you open Excel, it opens it as a certain type of file? I like working with .xlsb because I work with large sets of data all of the time and find that they open faster and are faster to work with. Currently every time I open Excel, it opens as .xlsx.

I've been searching all morning through various posts on this subject, but I can't find anything that I can adapt to my needs. Here is the code I have:
ChDir "C:Documents and SettingsmynameDesktop"
ActiveWorkbook. SaveAs Filename:= _
"C:Documents and SettingsmynameDesktopBook1.txt", FileFormat:=xlText, _
CreateBackup:=False
This file will be used accross multiple computers and therefore the directory will always change. What I need to hapen, is for this code to save the workbook in the same directory as the origional file. I also want the file name to refer to a cells value, as I will be having the user define the name through a userform.

I need to open about 2000 documents one at a time, and save them with a different name.
they are a mix of word documents, PDFs and .jpg pictures.
some VBA like:
Open.file strPath & nextfile
where strpath = C:Temp
and nextfile = picture01.jpg
What should the line be? or is it more complex than a single line ?

I have been working on this spreadsheet off and on for a while now. I have a macro that works in Excel 2007 and a different one that works in 2003 (thanks to the help of Mr.Excel.) My problem is, the people who will be using this spreadsheet all have various versions of Excel. Is there a way to script this macro to work for all versions, or do I have to have a different script for each version of Excel? The one I am currently in need of is a script for 2002. See below for the script for the 2007 version. If there isn't a way to make a "one for all" solution, some assistance on a script that would work on 2002 would be great! The section in red is the section that returns the error when people try to run it with earlier versions of Excel.
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-9
Columns("B:G").Select
Selection.Copy
Columns("B:G").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats, Operation:= _
xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Columns("L:N").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
Range("N11").Select

I'm running Excel 2007 with Windows Vista. I also have Excel 97, which I was told would not run with Vista. I've since discovered that many programs that I was told wouldn't run with Vista seem to work fine.
Is it possible to install Office 97 on the same machine with Office 2007?

I may be creating a small Excel-based VBA application for a client on a semi-formal basis. I personally use Windows XP with Office XP installed, but I'm concerned about the possibility of serious differences between versions of Windows and Excel that may cause my code to fail on other machines.
I don't think I need to cater to any version of Excel BEFORE that in Office XP, but I probably do need to cater for versions after it. That's Office 2003, Office 2007 and Office for Vista,

I'm looking for is ComplyXL and that costs $300 to buy. So, as a poor grad student, I'm looking for an alternative solution - either a freeware program or a hassle-free VBA code.
So here's what I need the code or program to do: When I ask excel to open a pre-existing file, I'd like it to automatically rename (& compress?) the last used version of the file & save that to a filename-specific archive somewhere (hidden?), before opening the file as requested. Alternatively, I suppose that a mirror copy of each 'just used' file could be created & saved to an archive folder whenever the used file is saved & closed.
--Note: to avoid making copies of EVERY workbook I ever use, I suppose there should also be a button in the toolbar or a file-associated setting that lets me identify which files I want this task to apply to...
Basically I'm looking to have excel automatically save versions of certain key files (like Word's 'Versioning' feature) without having to remember to 'Save As', without the versions taking up much space, and without having to store the older file versions in the same place as the most recent one.
And yes, I know that a similar problem has already been posted & solved here, but they didn't include a way to choose which files used versioning nor (if it's possible) a way to compress the archived versions to save space (maybe by adding it into a WinRAR archive somewhere?).

The document shows a table on the left that puts the data from the table on the right into order by total (and if same, alphebetical by name). However the formula used to achive this is not compatable with previous versions of excel. Need alternative function that will bring the same outcome but work with pre 2007 versions (ie .xls file extention).

I have a dir with over 150.000 files in it, especially pdf, doc and xls. Now I'm looking for a script or program that will automatically search the entire directory and look for old xls files, open them and save them in a new(er) version. I'm working with a software that needs to use these XLS files in my directory but it can't use the old xls-versions. It's an impossible job to search by hand for the old versions and put them in a new(er) version.

When I attempt to send a spreadsheet using a German version of Excel, the following formula does NOT work properly.
=ZELLE("adresse",C14)
The function gets translated into =CELL("adresse", C14), and what I need is, obviously, = CELL("address",C14). The argument does not get translated.

Compatibility mode, in 2007, is frustrating me like crazy. I thought it was supposed to 'limit' functionality to what was in 2003. But what it seems to be doing is letting me use features that only work in 2007and then tell me when I save that 'hey, these won't work after you save'. Ugh! I can't even pick a highlight color without getting a warning and wondering what it will look like to 2003 users!
Is there a 'theme' or anything that will truly limit the features I use to those available to 2003 users?

I have to run a daily report from winxp or win2k and need to change the host files a few times for access.
I tried to use %systemroot% in the file path, but for some reason vba doesn't like it.
Here's the snippet I'm using for copying over the host file based on user choice: (the thing works if I change to the actual system root path (C: etc...)
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Select Case ComboBox1
Case "- Choose -"
MsgBox ("This is not a choice")

Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = False
xlApp.Application.DisplayAlerts = False
xlApp.Workbooks.Open ("somepathWebquery.xlsm")
xlApp.Application.Run "'some macro"
The only problem is, the web query will only work properly if it is in Excel 2007 (2003 will parse the table in a way that is not acceptable). However, when I tried to run the script, the stubborn Excel 2003 will show up. I even tried to uninstall the Office Compatibility Pack and the stubborn Windows will only run Excel 2003 and ask me to download the Office Compatibility Pack instead of giving me Excel 2007.
I tried to open it up using Open With...and it did not work, I even tried to regserver and unregserver and that did not work as well. Somehow Windows thought the only Excel I have is Excel 2003.
Is there anyway I could change the VB Script so that it would force Excel 2007 to open?

Add Multiple Buttons That Select Row Of Housing Cell. One of my Macro's places a button on a sheet using Top/Left;
Set sbut = Sheets("Listings").Shapes.AddFormControl(xlButtonControl, _
Range("J" & count).Left, Range("J" & count).Top, 50, 12)
When I try to find the row of the clicked button using the following code;
Range(ActiveSheet.Buttons(Application.Caller).TopLeftCell.Address).Activate
The code behaves differently in Excel 2002 and 2007. In 2002 it returns the row the button sits on, but 2007 returns the cell above the button. This could be because the workbook is an XLS running in Excel 2007 in compatibility mode? Is there a way to "nudge" the button down a little after it has been placed using .top/.left ? Or is the only way around this something like;
Range(ActiveSheet.Buttons(Application.Caller).TopLeftCell.Address).Activate
count = ActiveCell.Row
If Application.Version >= 12 Then
count = count + 1
End If
Is this a bug, or something that I am doing wrong ? The workbook needs to be a .xls to ensure that it works in older versions of Excel.

I have a macro that I found somewhere on the net to look within a folder and list all the files of a certain file extension.
The macro to do this is in the attached example and is called 'Get_File_Names_Within_Dir_ext'.
I have created a basic userform outline, 'UF1' for the user to define:
Select File Extension
Select Folder to Search
Destination Sheet
I just don't have any idea how to sync the two.
If you type 'exe' into 'TB1_File_Extension' of 'UF1' the macro should search for '*.exe' files within the specified folder.
The search folder 'RefEdit1' box should open a windows explorer box (or some such) so that the user can select the directory in which to search for the previously specified file extension.
'TB2_Destination_Sheet' is a text box for the user to type the sheet within the workbook in which to list the files found within the specified directory.
'CB1_Find_Files' should activate the macro to find any files for the specified criteria.
There is also a Button 'Find File Types' in Sheet1 of the file which should activate the userform 'UF1'.

What I am trying to do is that I have an excel file with macros and it is a read-only file. In order for the user to save, I want them to only be able to save as a .xlsx file as it disables all macros. If for whatever reason, the user wants to save the file as another .xlsm file, they should be allowed but before they save, a "are you sure you want to save as .xlsm?" message should pop up.
All the options in the save as box should still be available in case they want to save in that particular format. Just that the .xlsx should be the default.
