Create Error Handler For Entire Workbook?
Mar 15, 2014Is it possible to create an Error Handler for the entire workbook, or do you have to put one on every sub routine?

View 1 RepliesThis macro below is meant to search a sheet for a user selected value, select the entire row and copy it into a new sheet that has been created under the name of the user selected value. It will create said sheet, but isnt finding the value and/or copying the active cell row. Im not getting any errors so it has no issue with the coding itself, it just doesnt work, have i missed something obvious again?

I have a userform that reads data from a sheet with thousands of records (lines) each record with some 30 cells (columns). I wanted the user to scroll up & down in the sheet, using the keyboard arrows and I wanted the userform to show the relevant record, where the cursor stands. For this purpose I created an event handler (Worksheet_SelectionChange) that identifies the scrolling, populates the form with the relevant record data and then returns the focus back to the sheet. The command I have used to send focus back to the sheet (so the user can keep scrolling) is:
VB:
AppActivate "Microsoft Excel" & " - " & ThisWorkbook.Name
Now comes the bizarre part... This macro can work perfectly for hours and then decide to "die", or can work on one computer but not the other (all with Excel 2007, BTW). When the macro dies (or if it does not work, to begin with), the debugger points to the command I mentioned, with an error message "Run-time error '5' , Invalid procedure all or argument."
how to make my macro "stable" (make it work always and on every computer)?
Unfortunately, I cannot upload the file, because it contains confidential data (and it is not in English...).
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
If Target.Column < 2 And Target.Row > 1 And Target.Row <= lr Then
crow = ActiveCell.Row

I have a piece of code with some error handlers in it but for some reason the error handler can't deal with a second error. The example code below suffers from the same problem in that it falls over when it tries to process the i = "w" line for the second time. If you F8 through the code the error handler works the first time but not the second. Why is this and what can I do to get it to keep going to erH when it hits the i = "w" line?
Sub test()
Dim i As Integer
testing:
On Error GoTo erH
i = "w"
erH:
i = 1
GoTo testing
End Sub
I have written a long bit of code, which works fine. I decided to add an error handler just in case of any errors. I have run through my code numerous times to confirm that there is no error, but the msgbox still pops up.
View 3 Replies View Relatedhow to improve the following error handling strategy and code samples so as to maximise its usefulness for the purposes described.
During function calculations in VBA, such as is done by numerical integrators, numerical run-time errors may occur, such as:
Err.Number = 5 Invalid procedure call eg. LOG(-5)
Err.Number = 6 Overflow
Err.Number = 11 Division by zero
My present strategy to address these errors:
Say the variable x is used in the function calculations, and some particular value of x causes one of the above errors to occur. After the above errors are trapped, the x value is increased slightly from its initial value, and the failed calculation line is retried (Resume). On the next error trap, the x value is decreased slightly from its initial value, and the calculation tried again. This way, the initial x value is cyclically changed by adding increasing magnitude increments of alternating signs, searching for the nearest x value which will allow the function calculation to be done without error. Thus it causes the x value to swing around the initial x value in a pendulum-like manner, but with a widening swing per pass.
So far, I have the following code:
Code:
ErrorHandler:
If Err.Number = 5 Or Err.Number = 6 Or Err.Number = 11 Then
If Initial = True Then

From my userform I use a calendar to input in two text boxes the "from" and the "to" dates and get a "custom" statement of activity by company.
If I input two dates that do not exist within my summary of sales how can I code in order to get an error message AND clear the text boxes. (textbox1&2)
Example: jan 07 to Dec07 do not exist/ Oct 09 does
"from" and the "to" dates = 01/01/2007 to 12/10/2010 would work (and it does)
01/07/2007 to 12/06/2007 does not exist anywhere then I want to see a message box to that effect AND the textboxes cleared for input of the new "from" date in textbox1
If Impossible at least can you help on an error handler? (on error resume does not work or at least I think it does not)
Before doing some modifications in a data sheet, I first check with the below code whether a certain list is complete or not using the VLOOKUP function. If I encounter a missing value in the list, a userform appears asking to fill out 3 data fields, which are then added to the original list to complete it. All of this works fine if only one line is missing; if there are two (or more) lines missing, all goes well untill the VLOOKUP function errors out on the second line missing.
I can't find out why everythign goes welll with the first missing line, but not with the second missing line.

I ran a simple macro that I created in my workbook, got a run-time error, clicked debug, clicked reset to stop the macro running, and now all of the icons in my workbook are greyed out. I can select cells, change worksheets, enter information in cells etc....just I can't save the workbook, or select any of the icons on my ribbon / in the office menu. Would really like to avoid terminating the application as I made a number of changes that I didn't save (doh doh doh).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am writing a macro to track stats in a workbook. The workbook has the check every tab in the given workbook, hidden and unhidden. In order to track the stats I find a column labeled "Read Dates" on each worksheet. The "Read Dates" column is not always in the same location so I have the macro Find the words "Read Dates". To make sure the cell the macro finds is the column label and not just another cell where someone may have used the words "Read Dates", I have an 'If/Then' statement checking the column to the left to ensure "Rev Mo" is there. If the state is true, the macro begins tracking stats. If the statement is false it attempts to find the next cell containing "Read Dates".
My problem occurs when the macro selects a sheet that contains no data or does not have the words "Read Dates". To help remedy this, I have an Errhandler that simply tells the macro to move onto the next worksheet. My problem is that there are several worksheets that do not have a cell with the value of "Read Date" so the second time the ErrHandler errors. Below is the section of the code I currently have an issue with.
Sub Begin_tracking()
'Error Handler
On Error Goto ErrHandler
WCount = Worksheets.Count
For i = 1 To WCount
If Worksheets(WCount - i + 1).Visible Then
Worksheets(WCount - i + 1).Select
Can anyone think of a better way of doing this so the entire workbook is worked or tell me how I can reset the Error Handler is it will move onto the next worksheet? I've looked into help on this forum to rest the ErrHandler but what I've found and tried has not worked. The ErrHandler may be invoked 2 times or it may be invoked 20 times depending on the workbook.
For some reason I thought this would be simple, but not as simple as I thought. I have a UserForm that enters data into a sheet, but before it is entered, the user is prompted for the sheet password (sheet is protected). What I tried to do is use an error handler to exit the sub if the password is incorrect, user hits Cancel, etc. Here is the code I am using:
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook, that when opened the first time needs to prompt the user to save it. I got that working with no issues by using
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
SaveOnOpen
End Sub
where SaveOnOpen is a procedure in another module. What I would like to do now is re-assign the Workbook_Open sub to be set to null, so that it doesn't run any more. Is it possible to somehow assign Workbook_Open to call a null procedure, as opposed to setting up an onTime call to delete the code itself?
I want to catch an error and reset the entire code to the very beginning and skip that entire entry. When I use "Next fieldSheetName" I get "Next without For," error 1004. Searches tell me I have an open block somewhere, but that's not true. Removing that statement (and having the loop iterate as normal) has no error at all.
Dim employeeName As String
Dim fieldMax, x, y As Byte ' Counters mostly
Dim workedHours, fieldSheetName As Integer
fieldMax = 204 ' Row number to stop on in the field time sheet
row = 4 ' Row specification for field time sheet. Begin at row 4 to ignore headers
' and start on the first name. This should not be changed!
Col = 3 ' Start at column 3 then increase by one to start going to next time entry
' RESET HERE!
For fieldSheetName = 4 To fieldMax Step 8 ' This is our MAIN loop. It iterates from 0 to fieldMax, which is 204...........
I am getting an automation error
The project is the create checkboxes out of the tab names in a workbook. After that, create a new workbook with the selections made. It is at the point where I pass the array of sheets to be copied that the error occurs. The only thing I can figure is that my variable curWB is not what I think but I declare it to be the original workbook before that point. All of the code is below.
Another possibility is that this code with some other code sits in the worksheet called index. This sheet is being copied to the new workbook also.
VB:
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim oleObj As OLEObject, ole As Object
Dim sheetSelection() As String

I am currently creating a database which involves using a macro to create new worksheets in the workbook. When the macro is run and a work sheet is being inserted, an input box asks the user for a worksheet name.
As you can imagine, the worksheet does not like it when the worksheet name input by the user, is the same as one already existing and so throws up a 1004 error.
In order to resolve this error I have included an error handling code to request the user to input a differnet worksheet name, as the one previously inserted exists.
My problem: It all works fine until the user types in an existing worksheet name twice, so once initially and again when the error handler has prompted a second attempt. On the second incorrect input a 1004 error warning is displayed.
I would like the error handler to keep repeating until a worksheet name that doesn't exist is inserted by the user. Is this possible?

What I'm wondering is when it is a good idea to use Error Handler's. I've got maybe 50 procedures in the project I'm working on. Some of the procedures are merely parent procedures calling other procedures. Since other people will be using this workbook, I want there to be a way to troubleshoot if errors occur, but it almost seems bad form to have an Error Handler for EVERY single procedure. Conversely, somehow, someone always finds a new and creative way to error out my workbook, and they don't understand the code and/or are not VBA literate. I can always fix afterwards, but solving the problem immediately over the phone is not ideal. I'm very new to debugging for other users. The workbook is currently in constant development/improvement used by only a handfull of users, but eventually it will need to be at some decent release stage, where the VBA code will be password protected, and I will not want the user getting into the code.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need a macro that will search a value in column D (sheet2) that is noted in cell C7 on sheet3. After that it must copy enitre entire row where searched value was found to sheet3, last empty row.
an example:
entered value in cell C7 on sheet 3 is ABC
on Sheet2 column D, value ABC was found in cell 150 (D150) so it has to copy for 150 to sheet3, last empy row.
I have a spreadsheet that I use to populate a MySql database. It has a hierarchical relationship in the spreadsheet which is accomplished through a column called GUID and another column called Parent GUID. I've been using a website to generate GUIDs for me and pasting them into the first column one at a time, then copying to the second column where necessary. It takes forever.
So, I'm wondering if I can write (or better - paste!) a function that will automatically generate the first column of GUIDs. I've googled and found several functions that create a guid, but I don't really understand how to call the function from excel. Also, I don't want to manually call it thousands of times. I'd just like to call it once and have it generate GUIDs for the entire column.
I'll still copy and paste to fill in the Parent GUID column.
I have this code:
Modules --> Module1:
Code:
Function Find(strSearch As String) As Range
Dim aCell As Range
Set aCell = ActiveSheet.Rows(1).Find(What:=strSearch, LookIn:=xlValues, _
[Code]....
I've walked this through the debugger. The Find function is finding the "Applicable" column fine (column 2). But how do I convert the aCell object to a range so that Intersect will be true, and will uppercase the cell value that was updated? If I were hardcoding this, I would return Range("B:B").
I have attached a file showing what I would need the output to look like. I need to know how to search a range of cells (in this case column E) and if the day of the week is Wednesday to copy that entire row to the Worksheet titled Wednesday. I would do it manually but I have several thousand rows of data to get through, and there has to be a better way.

I have a form that searches in an entire workbook for certain keywords, for example I fill in a last name in the textfield txtName and pus the search command button. As a result I get all the rows of the entire workbook containing this name. There are othre search fields in the form that do similar things...
This is the vba
Is there a code that would search for a name on a sheet and take me there when it finds it? The search buttonand place to write in the name would be on one sheet, all the possible names would be on a differant sheet. Also the names would not be in the same rows or columns. Each name will be under a picture so some space will be between names.
