Application File Search Finds Nothing
Jun 23, 2009
I'm simply trying to search a directory for .xls files and count them. I have previously used the following code successfully to do so, but for some reason it has recently stopped working. Debugging shows .FileSearch.Count() = 0 after every search. I have atleast half a dozen .xls files in the "Reports" folder relative to the active workbook.
strReportDirectory = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "Reports"
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = strReportDirectory
.SearchSubFolders = False
.Filename = "*.xls"
.Execute
'loop through each workbook in the directory
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
msgbox("I found: " & .FoundFiles(i))
next i

in adapting the previous code to MS Excel 2007. I have found that the "application.filesearch" object no longer exist in 2007! The code goes to a file path and extracts the text and places the data in the specified excel column.
here's the original code as given by Parry:

Search Column A for a name (using an array if possible). If it finds this name, add a string of text to the AA cell on the same row that it found the name on.
For example,
If in A1 it finds the specified name. It then adds a string of text to AA1.

I am trying to determine in code whether a file exists in a certain location. This seems to be very slow even in a folder which contains just one file. Is there any way to speed up this process? Three seconds seems like a long time especially given that I will have to loop through this Sub many times. The files I am looking for are CSV so I can't use msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks unless I can modify what file extensions this looks for. I only started dabbling with VBA a few weeks ago so it is entirely possible I'm barking up the wrong tree and should be using another method to acheive my aims.
Sub CISORTEST()
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = "C:TEMP"
.SearchSubFolders = False
.Filename = "MYCSVFILENAME"
.MatchTextExactly = True
.FileType = msoFileTypeAllFiles
If .Execute > 0 Then
Call DoStuff()
End If
End With
End Sub...........................

I have been trying to process Excel files in a directory with the following
Sub FindExcelFiles()
Dim foldername As String
Dim FSO As Object
Dim fldr As Object
Dim file As Object
Dim cnt As Long
foldername = "c:usersseagreendesktopTuesdayFeb102009week ending feb 7 2009 esting2"
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FilesystemObject")
Set fldr = FSO.GetFolder(foldername)
For Each file In fldr.Files
If file.Type Like "*Microsoft Office Excel*" Then
cnt = cnt + 1
End If
Application.StatusBar = "Now working on " & ActiveWorkbook.FullName
DoSomething ActiveWorkbook
Next file
Set file = Nothing
Set fldr = Nothing
Set FSO = Nothing
Range("A1").Value = cnt
End Sub
Here's the stub for the subroutine that's being called:
Sub DoSomething(inBook As Workbook) 'Massage each workbook
'Debug.Print "Hello"
Debug.Print ActiveWorkbook.FullName
End Sub
I am using Excel 2007. I found out I cannot use Application.Filesearch as Microsoft has dropped this method for 2007. My problem now is that I just see "Now working on c:usersseagreendesktopTuesdayFeb102009week ending feb 7 2009 esting2file1.xls written six times in the immediate window.

I have embeded a PDF file in an Excel Worksheet. When I double-click to open the PDF file the I get an error message: "Cannot start the source application for this object." However, the pdf file opens anyway. how to prevent the error message from displaying (without stopping real error messages)? (...happens in Excel 2000 and Excel 2003) NB: I researched this site first - user "Ed" raised the same issue 27/1/03 - but it doesn't appear to have been resloved.

Im copying and pasting data from one workbook to another but when I want to close the source workbook, it comes up with this message that I have much data and if I want to keep this in a clipboard. I thought I could disable this with Application.DisplayAlerts = False but when I do this, Excel freezes. Im I doing something wrong. How can I supress this window?
Public path As String
Sub Get_data()
path = "\Nlchoosa.nlOPS_Processes$OPS_ProcessesReports Sector performance"
Workbooks.Open Filename:=path & "ReportsSector Performance Reporting week.xls"
Range("A1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
Selection.copy
Windows("Sector Performance report Week.xls").Activate
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.DisplayClipboardWindow = False
Windows("Sector Performance Reporting week.xls").Activate
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
End Sub

I'm practicing my VBA and can't get this practice code to work, the syntax looks good but all it does is set the current cell to 23. and I want it to keep going up the column until it find a cell with any value and then change it to say 23. if the value is empty it should keep going up.
Sub chngevalue()
If ActiveCell.Value Is Nothing Then
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Select
Else
ActiveCell = 23
End If
End Sub
I did check the internet and my reference books and wasn't able to find a clear reason.

I have an excel book open called MIC and my code has a certain cell activated, and has a string stored in memory. What I need to do is search for that string in another Excel file (MCMAP) and once I find it select the entry directly to the left of it and then use whatever value that is to fill in the active box on the MIC file.
What I'm doing is mapping a abbreviation to it's full name which is stored in a file called MCMAP.
My main problem is how do I search for this string in another file? It will be somewhere in the "B" column and then get the info from the cell directly to the left of it (somewhere in column "A").

I need to create a search element in Excel. What I would like is to be able to enter a file or part file name into a cell and then push a button and the file is found and opened for me. How would I go about doing this. The files searched for would all be in the same folder so the whole hard drive would not have to be searched

I need to search for values from my excel spreadsheet row A ('Picture #') in a folder on my C:, with a match from the spreadsheet in the file name of the folder I am searching, I need the matching file copied down to a different file. Also, I would like it to keep a record of error searches. So I separate tab on the spreadsheet being searched from to show which of the values from row A were not found.

I have a macro that needs to walk down a list of values and when it finds breaks in the values, it will insert a formula for a calculation. The problem I'm having is getting the code to loop correctly until it finally finds the value "End" when it should stop (when I play around with the code, sometimes I can get it to continue the loop, but it blows past "End" and then it experiences an error because it can't end.
Sheets("Master").Select
Range("B1").Select
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
AssetIDStartRange = ActiveCell.Address
X = 0
Do
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
X = X + 1
Loop Until ActiveCell.Value ""
SortCriteriaName = ActiveCell.Value
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 1).Select
ActiveCell.Formula = "=SUMIF($B13:$B5000," & """" & SortCriteriaName & """" & ",$H$13:$H$5000)"
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Select
If ActiveCell.Value "End" Then....................

I have created a file which generates a file name from information entered in certain cells
Code:
Sub SaveAsExample() On Error GoTo Err1:
Dim FName As String
Dim FPath As String
FPath = "O:PHC BomsDropbox - Stage & Gate"
FName = Sheets("Control Sheet").Range("B1").Text & " " & Sheets("Control Sheet").Range("B2").Text
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FPath & "" & FName
Err1:
Exit Sub
End Sub
Control sheet B1 = SG999
Control sheet B2 = Product Description
EG - SG999 Prod Description.xlsm
Now here's the problem -
Very occasionally some users may edit the Prod Description & then need to re-save
So i need to create some code which looks for an element of the current file name in a Directory (O:PHC BomsDropbox - Stage & Gate) EG "SG999" (Which could be 5 or 6 characters in length (if we go over 1000)
Delete this file, replaces it with the new file with the edited information.

I'm looking to have a row at the top of a worksheet which I can type in, so that only the rows below which contain that information will show up. For example, say I have the following 3 rows, 2 columns each:
Cat Feet
Cat Head
Dog Feet
I'd like to have an additional row so that if I typed in "Cat" only the "Cat Feet" and "Cat Head" rows would show up. Likewise, if I typed in "Head" in the proper column only ""Cat Head" would show up.

For Each b In Range("names")

It doesnt work, it gets to b.row.value and throws up an error, i realise im using the wrong code but I dont know enough vba script to resolve the issue
I have a timesheet and a data base spreadsheet, the db spreadsheet opens the timesheet (many, one after another) and I want it to look for each name in the db and if the name cell on the timesheet it has open matches then i want it to remember the row value (on the db), then look through the dates in the db until it finds the matching date to the one in the timesheet, i want it to store this column value (in the db) so I can concat the row and column to get the activecell where I will be putting the total hours (a single cell reference) from the timesheets into the db.

I have a macro that saves zip files automatically from outlook every day and saves over those zip files (which I want). But now I need to unzip those files and save their csv files in a different folder. I will be saving over the same csv files everyday.
(I have 5 zip files saved and named and each file contains just 1 csv file)
I have had a look at Ron de Bruin's code but he requires you to open the and search for the zip file. I would like this to unzip and save automatically without having to use "Application.Getopen".

The mini project I've been working on does pretty much what I want it to do. It takes a list of script names and by providig it with the scripts folder/server and database the scripts are run and the log files are dumped in a newly created folder named logs.
Now that I have established how to check for the existence of a folder and creating new folders in Excel VBA, the next step is to check for the existence of a particular text file and if it exists, search the contents of that file for a specific word or sentence.
I need to know which objects and methods provide such capability [if any]
