I am trying to attach an Excel file to a post. I found the following in FAQ: "To attach a file to a new post, simply click the [Browse] button at the bottom of the post composition page, and locate the file that you want to attach from your local hard drive" But I cannot find the [Browse] button. I should have said "to attach a file" not "to attach a post" in the header.

From Excel I would like to click a button to start a macro and have that macro prompt me where to browse for the file.

View 6 Replies View RelatedDoes VBA support any type of "browse for file" interface? I'm thinking something similar to an inputbox, but instead it gives you the standard looking windows explorer window to find a file (think adding an attachment in outlook).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write some VBA that will select a row of cells that each have links to cells in another workbook, and then either autofill the formulas down (or pastespecial them down) for 20 rows. I have that part down using either pastespecial or autofill, but -
Since the forumulas are links to another workbook, Excel wants to resolve that link to calculate the values at the time of the pastespecial or autfill. If the sourced workbook is not open, the "browse for file" popup displays. I don't want the popup to display and would rather just get the #REF in the pasted cells and let it resolve the next time the sourced workbook is open. The end result would be like clicking "cancel" to the "browse for file popup", which I'm tired of constantly doing... I would just like to skip that popup all together and get the #REF value.

I am trying to attach a speadsheet to an inquiry about another problem. I used to be able to do this. No known changes to my system in between.

I have developed a product that's a bunch of Excel spreadsheets strung together. Real estate and mortgage professionals use the tools to counsel home buyers. We include a pdf converter in case recipients of emailed file attachments don't have Excel.
We provide an 'Export' procedure that calls a custom dll that uses the outgoing mail server that the user [must] setup or our web's mail server as a default. The action attaches the Excel or the PDF file and sends in the background. We use an Excel form for user to write the message and the process saves a copy of the message sent and the file send in an Archives folder.
This procedure is not very user friendly, as it does not offer the user's address book to select a recipient, does not put the message in the user's email client Sent folder...Plus the Archives folder could become quite large...plus it involves a user setup that creates alot of support calls.
But actually the most critical shortcoming has become that ISPs (Comcast and ATT so far) are blocking the use of custom email clients!
Recently my son showed me in QuickBooks their attach file-to-email process. It simply opens the user's default email client with the file attached. I need an app that does that! And it needs to be distributable.
I am trying to create a script for a manually morning process that I need to complete that entials downloading a number of .PDF files and sending them out to a distribution list. I am unable to automate that actual saving of the files onto the network drive, but I believe I can automate the process of attaching them to the email. I have run across some problems so far though, this is what I have been able to come up with. After doing a bit of research it seems as though using cmd would be the best way to locate and attach the file but I am still unable to get it to run properly:
Code:
Sub AttachMultiple()
With CreateObject("Outlook.Application").CreateItem(0)
.To = "test@gmail.com"
.Subject = "Test"
.Attachments.Add Split(CreateObject("wscript.shell").exec("cmd /c Dir 'G:Client ReportingMGIDaily
ReportsAGFAJune 2013*.pdf' /b /o-d").stdout.readall, vbCrLf)(0)
.Send
End With
End Sub

I feel like I am relatively close to completely this, my cmd syntax may just be a little off.
I have written a macro but unable to make it work. The macro works but not the way I would like it to.
The macro has to save an excel sheet to a separate folder as a pdf format, a message box should pop up confirming the pdf file and then attach the same saved pdf file to an email.
Now the macro saves the pdf file where I need it to be saved, the msg box pop up and then the pdf file opens up on top of the msg box. If I close the pdf file the msg box which was hidden under the file is now shown. When I click "OK" it goes straight to outlook with the email addresses attached but the saved pdf file is not attached.
I've attached the script.

I am using a macro to e-mail any work sheet with an address in A1. I would also like to attach a file that will be listed in cell E1 of that worksheet. The file is different for each work sheet that is being sent but will be listed in the same cell of each work sheet.

Now I need to know what language I should use and the codes to make it run.
I'm in the process of building a user form that required the user to brows for a file, the path of the file that they select is then displayed in the textbox next to the "browse" button in my form. I also have another button next to this which when selected will open the file that is displayed in the textbox previously mentioned.
I’ve been trying the shell command but with no success, I can get the user form to open adobe reader but whenever I try to include that file path for which to open the file I keep getting runtime errors,
Below are a couple of examples that I’ve tried (you'll prob be able to guess from the code that I’m very new to VB in excel).
For additional info the value in the textbox would be something like, "H:My DocumentsPDF Filesmyfile.pdf"
Dim GetFile As String
Shell "C:Program FilesAdobeReader 8.0ReaderAcroRd32.exe", vbNormalFocus
'this opens adobe reader but I'm trying to open a specific file
Shell "C:Program FilesAdobeReader 8.0ReaderAcroRd32.exe" & textbox9.value, vbNormalFocus
This produces the runtime error again
Dim GetFile As String
GetFile = TextBox9.Value
Shell "C:Program FilesAdobeReader 8.0ReaderAcroRd32.exe" & GetFile, vbNormalFocus
'this produced a runtime error - to be honest this was an attempt born out of frustration.

I am using Excel 2010.
I found code from the internet attributed to Bob Phillips for VBA to have a dialog box pop up and allow the user to select what worksheet to navigate to.
The code works well except it doesn't exclude hidden or very hidden worksheets.
Code:
Sub BrowseSheets()
Const nPerColumn As Long = 38 'number of items per column
Const nWidth As Long = 13 'width of each letter
Const nHeight As Long = 18 'height of each row
Const sID As String = "___SheetGoto" 'name of dialog sheet
Const kCaption As String = " Select worksheet to goto"
'dialog caption
[Code]....
I know there is the line of "If Sheets(i).Visible And i Mod nPerColumn = 1 Then..." but it still allows all sheets to show up in the dialog box.
How it can be modified to include visible sheets only?
Is it possible to use a Form control which choose a folder/file in a specific location (Ie: Browse button)?
Currently I put the location details in a textbox.
I found some code that works well to index a folder and all sub-folders for file names.
The issue is that the folder used is coded in an excel spreadsheet (cell C7) in the below code and whether to look in sub-folders (cell C8 - True or False).
Code:
Sub ListFiles()
iRow = 11
Call ListMyFiles(Range("C7"), Range("C8"))
[Code]....
I have tried to incorporate the browse for folder and select if sub-folders are used, but it isn't working.
I am using the following coding on my s/sheet at the moment...
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Dim r As Range
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each r In Target
If Trim(Len(r.Value)) = 1 Then r.Value = UCase(r.Value)
Next
Application.EnableEvents = True
If Selection.Count = 1 Then
If Target.Row > 3 And Target.Column > 14 And Target.Column < 19 And Target.Value = "Y" Then
MY_LINK = InputBox("As you have entered 'Y' into this cell, please provide a link to the document. If there are no documents available for linking, please click cancel and change the value of the cell to 'N'.", "Document Link Request")
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Range(Target.Address), Address:=MY_LINK
End If
End If
End Sub
The top code is to change all singular small letters to caps... and the second is to bring up an "enter hyperlink" box when "Y" is typed into a particular cell...
Can anyone edit this 2nd code to include a "browse" button, so that when entering the hyperlink, it can be to a file on the computer?
I have done a search in the forum, and there are many results on browsing directory and opening files, but they are not what I have in mind.
What I have is different folders for different months (e.g. “January”, “February’, “March” and so on), and in each folder I have the same file names (e.g., in “January” folder, I have files called A, B, C. In “February”, I also have files A, B, C but these are different from the files in other folders)
Basically I need a macro which can open a specific list of files.
So first step, the user should be able to browse the directory, then select a folder (no need to open, not sure if it makes any difference though). I need the user to be able to select different folders because the macro should work for the different months in different years.
For this, I have found this
Function GetFolderPath() As String
Dim oShell As Object
Set oShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application"). _
BrowseForFolder(0, "Please select folder", 0, "c:\")
If Not oShell Is Nothing Then
GetFolderPath = oShell.Items.Item.Path
Else
GetFolderPath = vbNullString
End If
Set oShell = Nothing
End Function...........
