Bug - Macro Crashes When Run, Doesn't Crash If Save First
I'm just wondering if any of you can lend some help on a bug i'm encountering. When I press a button on my worksheet to call a macro that brings up a userform, the excel will crash, and give that "do you want to report this error", close down excel, and reopen on a blank worksheet. Strange thing is, this error is avoided if I save the workbook upon opening it, and then call that macro.
The workbook does not read data from external sources, so i dont think is that problem.
Has anyone encountered this?

Combo Box Macro In Worksheet Doesn't Run Automatically
I have a combo box in a worksheet with a macro written for it that works fine but when I open the worksheet it doesn't run automatically, I have to find the macro and tell it to run. How can I get it to run as soon as the worksheet is opened Here is the code for the macro Private Sub combobox() ComboBox1.clear ComboBox1.AddItem "Mit Rekuperator" ComboBox1.AddItem "Ohne Rekuperator" End Sub Private Sub ComboBox1_Change() Run "PinchInternHeatExchanger" Select Case ComboBox1.Text Case "Mit Rekuperator" ActiveSheet.Range("I62") = Worksheets("uorc").Range("L99") Case "Ohne Rekuperator" ActiveSheet.Range("I62") = Worksheets("uorc").Range("E11") End Select Run "PinchPoint" End Sub

Workbook_Open Doesn't Run On Second Open
I have noticed this on more than one workbook with an Workbook_Open macro. When you open Excel, open Workbook1, do some work , save or don't save and close, then reOpen Workbook1 without having closed the Excel application, the Workbook_Open macro in Workbook1 doesn't run. Closing Excel and reopening Workbook1 initiates the Workbook_Open macro. It's as if Excel remembers having previously opened Workbook1 and so it doesn't rerun the Workbook_Open macro the next time you open it.

Save Workbook To Desktop If File Doesn't Exists
I'm having a slight problem with this script. What I'm looking to do is before the workbook is closed is check to see if the workbook already exisits on the users desktop if it doesnt then save it to the users desktop. if is does exists then just exit the sub. Here is what I have so far but for some reason it kept displaying the aleart message that the file already exists and wants to save it again. I just added the displayalerts = false in but the script still does not know that file already exists. So when the file is closed it keeps saying file has been placed on your desktop.

FileSearch Method In 2007, Run-time Error 445 Object Doesn't Support This Action
I was using the following macro on Excel 2000, 2002 & 2003 for many years without a fuss. Recently, I upgraded to Excel 2007.

Macro Doesn't Work On Button, But Fine From Macro Menu!
I've recorded a macro that copies an entire tab into a new spreadsheet then goes on the copy and paste information from one tab to another. When I run the macro from the Tools>Macros menu it works perfectly. But when I copy the code and add it to that of a button it fails and posts the following error: Run-time error '1001': Select method of Range class failed. The first attachement shows the code for the macro as it is alone, and the second shows how I simply copied and pasted it into the 'view code' window of the button. Needless to say I'm a beginner at macros and only every record them, I can usually make stuff work that way but this has me stumped!

Script Works In Debugger But Doesn't When Macro Runs
I am trying to do a very simple Macro for merging data. My problem is that the macro works when I am stepping through in debugger, but does not work when I am in excel and I use the shortcut key (crtl + m) to run the macro. What happens when it doesn't work properly is it selects rows 2 and 3 and tries to paste them to the new workbook and I get an error saying the cells are not the correct type. I don't want it to do this because rows 2 and 3 are titles and have nothing to do with the data I am moving. As I said before, when I open VBE and step through the code it works just fine. The error only happens when there is no data on the initial work sheet.

I have a command button that states insert picture and when you click it, it will let you insert a picture into the cell and hide the command button. In 2007 it will let you insert the picture, but it isn't centered and expands into other cells and the command button is still visible.

Recorded Macro Doesn't Seem To Provide Expected Result
On column A, I simply do an A-Z sort that gives the expected result. So I recorded it as a macro. In column G is a code that corresponds with column A. When the marcro is executed Column A is sorted but the corresponding value in G stays where it is. Clicking the A-Z button works. But when that action is recorded as a macro I get the above quirck. Since VBA is not my beef, I don't really know what wrong.

Run-time Error '1004' Method 'Range' Of Object '_Worksheet' Failed
I have an interesting error that only happens when there is one row of data in the worksheet (sheet2 or "Half Payout"). Rows 1 & 2 are headers, row 3 is when the data starts - if any. With either no rows of data or more than one the coding works just fine. Here is the exact error message I'm getting: Run-time error '1004': Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed.

Run-time Error '1004': Methd 'Range' Of Object '_Global' Failed
I have constructed the following code to set the print area of worksheets that have been selected to print to the range referenced in a worksheet level named range "xPrintArea". This named range is set using the OFFSET function. The procedure also sets the left footer to be a copyright notice that is also contained in a cell referenced by a named range. Set oPrintArea = Range(sPrintAreaName) is generating the error "Methd 'Range' of object '_Global' failed". Note that the line Set oCopyrightNotice = Range("CopyrightNotice") does not generate this error. From what I've been able to determine from other research on this forum and others, I believe the problem is that I need to more fully qualify the object which Range(sPrintAreaName) is referencing. I've already tried to use Set oPrintArea = wkSht.Range(sPrintAreaName).................

Run Time Error 1004 - Method 'Range' Of 'Object'_Global' Failed
I am trying to build a macro which will format the columns of a spreadsheet - basically it inserts some columns, writes formulas and highlights them. Here is a code I have got so far... When I try to run this I get a run time error 1004 - Method 'Range' of 'Object'_Global' failed. The part of the code Range("N2:N").FormulaR1C1 = "=(RC[-7]/RC[-2])" is highlighted in the debugger. Can anyone tell me why this is happening, also it would be great if you could suggest better ways of writing this code - as I am new to vba programming and most of my macros are built using the recorder and then 'working' on them.

Crashes On 2nd Run
I have the following code which filters data in a sheet, and loads the numbers into textboxes on a userform. There are two multipage controls, each with several textboxes on them. I have commented out several lines because if I leave any of them in, it crashes excel. It will work once. But if I close the workbook, re-open it, and run the code again, it crashes. The thing I find really interesting is that all the 'problem lines' were added in as part of a retro-fit. The person I created this workbook for needed one more column of data. I followed the same programming pattern as what I used on the other, but only these ones seem to cause problems. Any thoughts? NOTE: The message boxes were just to help me figure out which lines of code were causing the crash. ....

Doesn't Work If The Worksheet Hasn't Been Saved Yet
I'm trying to simplify a formula that I'm using in a spreadsheet that's being used mostly in Excel 2000. 2 reasons I'm doing this: 1) It doesn't work if the worksheet hasn't been saved yet. 2) It's ugly =DATE(YEAR(DATEVALUE(MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,3) & " 20" & MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+5,2))),MONTH(DATEVALUE(MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,3) & " 20" & MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+5,2)))+1,0) The formula returns the last day of the month of the name of the sheet. For example, if the sheet is names "Mar 07", it returns 3/31/07. (yeah, when the 2100 issue becomes a big deal, I'm not going to be ready but I have 92 years to think about it) Even if I can't make it prettier, does anyone have a way to get the sheet name into a formula without VBA Code in a file that hasn't been saved.

Open Workbook, Run Macro, Save - Automate

I have a need to open Main, then click a button to start a Macro (in Main) which will do the following, sequentially: 1. open A1 2. run a Macro in A1 3. close and save A1. 4. open A2 5. run a Macro in A2 ... 12 close and save A4. The files A1..A4 are a file server and being shared. If they're being used by another user, it cannot be saved - so I would have to skip it and continue with the next A. It would be great if start Excel, open Main, and run the Macro in Main fully automatically.

Both 'Private Sub Workbook_Open' And 'Auto Open' Run Sequentially
I have built a complex vba & multisheet spreadsheet that I am looking to secure against all the common attacks. So I have:A Workbook Open pw; VBA password (29 symbols/numbers/Caps/lower case) Very Hidden worksheets Hidden rows/columns Restricted scroll areas Workbook protection Code that auto protects all sheets upon opening Registry referencing in Workbook Open with timed closure if not matched Now I am on the last leg of implementing protection against Application.EnableEvents = False; force enabling of Macros and hiding of toolbars, scrollbars etc... Phew. Soooo, in my research, I have learnt that if EnableEvents = False, Workbook_Open is essentially skipped and the security VBA routines are disabled. To get around, I have copied the entire contents of the Workbook_Open routine to a module under Auto_Open. The first line of both these scripts is: Application.EnableEvents = True. Works! So far so good. However, I have a Msgbox prompt in the scripts that displays twice. So in essence, Excel is running Workbook Open first, then Auto Open second. If I open another instance of Excel and run Application.EnableEvents = False first before opening my spreadsheet, I only get one message. So only the Auto Open script runs.

Intermittent Crash When Running Macro
I have having alot of frustation with a big group of Macro's I have written, all the macros work and run fine most of the time but they crash Excel on occasion and the only way I have been able to fix it is to go into Visual Basic and opening the project up (it is password protected) but not making any changes, after doing this it seems to magically stop crashing, for a while, then doing it again. I can't work out how or why that would make a difference, I dont expect you to try and work out a problem in the code or anything like that cause it is too big and would be unreasonable of me to ask, What I would like to know is if anyone else is aware of this sort of issue, why it happens and if there is any good cure for it? I am running excel 2003 if that also makes any difference.
