I open Excel. I click Insert-> Comment. Excel crashes. I try to open an excel file with comments, Excel crashes. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled, Detected & Repaired. Nothing appears in the event viewer. I am at my wits end.
Any ideas on what this could be? My only guess is a windows issue vs. an excel issue, but I thought I'd at least ask.
I have comment blocked the code that causes Excel to crash.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have this code tat I am using to important a picture via a comment box:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$AI$10" Then
newpic = "J:help" & Range("AQ21").Value
Target.Comment.Shape.Fill.UserPicture newpic
End If
End Sub
The problem is if you put a value in AI10 that is not AQ21 it gives and error. I would like for it to call another cell (B3) for newpic in the case of a value that is not present in AI10.
Is there a way to insert a pdf into a cell comment? I found how to insert an object but when I do that it covers the entire spreadsheet. I would like to be able to add pdf's to cell comments.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to select any cell on a spreadsheet, then run a macro that inserts a comment to the selected cell with the inserted comment text being the selected cell entry (value/text/ date). Primarily to insert a cell date value to comment before overwriting it with a tick to represent completion. The comment then contains the date for archive info purpose.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy situation is like this:
-I have two sets of data in two different sheets. The data is similar, but it is taken in two ferent times, so there are some cells, which content has changed.
-I want to make a macro that identifies the changes in the latter (newer) sheet compared two the older one and to:
a) Highlight the cells (this works)
b) Add a comment to each cell that has changed so that the content of the comment is the content of the "older" cell. (so that one can easily see from the newer sheet that highlighted cells have new values and the old values are in the comment) (this is not working)
Here's my code so far. Like I said I can't make the comment work. I tried it with the same text in all comments ("test comment") and it worked but I can't make it to go and get the data from my older sheet.
OLDER = my sheet with old data
NEWER = my sheet with updated data
NEWTABLE = my table on the NEWER sheet where I want to check the changes

is it possible to allow a user to insert an image into a comment box through a user form. For example-
User enters Part # into form - then in a separate form field - uploads an image from his/her hard drive. On submit the part number is populated into A1(or wherever) and comment box is also generated for A1 which contains said image.

View 4 Replies View Relatedhow to copy the contents of multiple comment boxes and paste in a single comment box.
The big picture is that I have a number of cells with numerical values in and text in comment boxes. I want to be able to click a button to copy the contents of the comment boxes and paste them, along with the numerical value from the cell, into a single comment box, ordered by highest to lowest value within the comment box, then delete the original cells and comments.
I am quite new to VBA but have been coping quite well so far with information of the web and analysing recorded macros.
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. ....
My main workbook basically starts with, Sub macro1 (), Do Until, Web Query, many many many calculations in between and finally ActiveWorbook.Save.

I'm trying to use a listbox and wanted to have the data sit in a different sheet. When I do this, I get a message about low memory and then excel says it has an error and shuts down. When I move the data to the same sheet as the listbox, there is no problem.
I'm using excel 2000 and that's all I can get (at work). Any thoughts? Should I just put the data on the same sheet and hide it? Is there a way around this?
Just recently Excel crashes about 4 out of 5 times. Any advice to where I should start looking and how to handle this please?

I wrote some VBA code detailed here. Is there any Excel Crash log I can look at? I have tested it on three computers. It worked on my computer just fine, but when testing it on the two other users of this spreadsheet it crashes when they click the mouse on a list box after about 5 to 10 clicks.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have the following code that (should) either save the file with a generic name if a value exists in a certain field, or else save the file as the contents of the value in the field, with a message box appearing in either case. The problem is, the message box appears twice (not once) and then Excel crashes! Can anyone tell me what's going on? The code is:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim FSR As String
FSR = Range("I7").Value
If FSR = "" Then
MsgBox "Service Report Number not entered."
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="Service Report Navilas.xls"

As I've learned to develop Excel apps with vba over the years I've noticed that, if the Excel app starts to get too large (over 1MB) saving it will often cause the application to crash for no apparent reason - the result being that I lose all the vba code I entered before the last save - with the worst case being that, on occasion I have lost all of the vba code in an applications!!!
So, I've learned to back up often using a third-party utility that I use to save my applications, which works wonders in allowing me to save my application without it crashing. The application is called Code Cleaner 97.exe. It was designed around Excel 97 (which I still use) but if possible I'd like to get an updated version for Excel 2003 and Excel 2007, which I also use.
Does anyone know of a more recent version of this utility, or another similar utility that allows large Excel applications to be properly saved, etc?
Code Cleaner 97.exe was a freebie that was available through one of the old Compuserve Excel forums. It was a very popular utility and was suggested as a means to save one's Excel apps without the app getting trashed, etc.
I'm not expecting a freebie solution so I'll gladly pay for something that allows me to save my large Excel apps without them crashing, etc.
I have a column of data that is an 850,000+ list of phone numbers. I need to peridoically insert another 10,000+ at a time and see if there are duplicates. Using conditional formatting to highlight the duplicates with a colored cell, and then sorting those records to the top is what I want to do, but it's too much for Excel to handle, and it hangs. It looks like I need to break up the 850k records into smaller chunks. Anyone know what an average pc with Excel 07 can handle? It's a 2.8ghz w/2gb ram.

I'm trying to close out excel through a user form (excel is hidden) button but excel crashes when it reaches the application.quit line of code.

I have written a fairly large spread sheet, and I have consistently had excel crashes when the first form initialises at startup.
However if I resave the workbook over itself or sometimes as another name it will then work. Once it works - it will always work while I dont restart my computer. The next day the same workbook will crash on form startup. Once this happens t always crashes on startup. If it works OK first up it always works. However if I edit it the process may happen all over again. I am 100% their is no error in the code as in certain stages it has worked for months. It seams like some bug in excel?
Has anyone ever had this issue?

I'm having a problem with Vlookup locking up excel everytime it tries to call a userform. If I rem either the .show lines or the entire Vlookup loop it works. I suspected it was the exit handler but that doesn't seem to be the case. If I use vlookup code and data validation instead of vb vlookup it all works except for the problem of having the code in the cells overwritten. It's probably something really simple that I overlooked. Any suggestions would be welcome. Newvendin is a multi-input textbox and frmcalendar is a calendar....
