Error-prooofing Get Open Filename
Jan 23, 2008
I am trying to skip over any errors associated with the GetOpenFilename window, specifically where the Cancel button is selected, or no files selected. In the code below, I get an error "Object required" at the line shown every time this is run, even when the file path is valid and correct, and then the msgbox appears as a result of the On Error statement .
myExcelFilePath is dim Variant
On Error Resume Next
myExcelFilePath = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel files (*.xls), *.xls", , "locate Report.xls....")
If myExcelFilePath Is Empty Or myExcelFilePath Is Null Then

I try to make a macro for saving an Excel sheet to a .CSV file with "@" as delimiter.
At the line "Open fname For Output As #fnum", the Error 53, "no file found" occurs.
The Excel-help is saying that if the file is not present, a new file will be made.
This error occurs now and then, How to proceed?
Full macro:
Sub SaveAsCSV()
Path = "O:actueel"
Fname1 = Path & Range("E2").Value & ".csv"
fname = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(Fname1, "CSV bestand (*.csv), *.csv", , "")
If fname = False Then
MsgBox "Macro Geannuleerd"
Exit Sub
End If

I have a csv file named "BB31_2013-08-01". I would like to open this file via vba and this is not my only file. I also have another similar fileames such as "BB31_2013-08-08", therefore, I try to create some function like yyyy, mm & dd where I can modifie it easily for next file.
Here is my code:
VB:
'change weekly
yyyy = "2013"
mm = "08"
dd = "01"
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"C:Documents and Settings1314228DesktopTest ProgressBB31& yyyy &-& mm &-& dd.csv"

Below is the code that references a file to import = Jan.txt.
There are different files I want to import, using this macro.
However I have not been successful with creating a variable
and then creating a statement which requires me to input the filename that I want to import for the macro run.
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;U:Jan.txt", Destination _
:=Range("A1"))

My company has several users that access a file (File A) that has a macro in that opens another file on their F drive called TEST.XLS. The code (in File A) to do this is:
Workbooks.Open Filename:="F: est.xls"
Just recently this code has failed for some users but not others. For those where it failed I confirmed that they do indeed have the file located on drive F.
As a test, one of the users where the above code failed ran the macro recorder while opening the file (Test.xls) on their F drive. The recorder produced the following code:
Workbooks.Open Filename:="\companynetsta$jsmith est.xls"
It appears the code is failing because Excel is looking for a UNC path as opposed to a drive letter (F).
I prefer that the code that looks at the Drive letter F be used.
How can I get the following code to workWorkbooks.Open Filename:="F: est.xls" ....for all users that have an F drive?

I would like to create a macro to open a file in Excel 2007. My problem is that the filename changes often. After updates are made the filename is changed and the old file is moved to a backup folder. So, there is only one similar file in the folder
My filename is "RFQ Worksheet 7 29 2008.xlsx".
The path is "C:Documents and SettingsahaynijDesktop".

I have a Workbook "forecast.xlsx" and several Workbooks which have a individual Number in the Filename (E.g. "3960........xls", "3961.......xls etc.) in the same directory as "forecast.xlsx" + projects"
Now, I would like to browse through "forecast.xlsx" in column H, searching for hyperlinks. In Column H are these Projectnumbers located which are used in the filenames above. Whenever the Cell cointains a hyperlink, following should happen (that far i managed it by myself):
- Store the Cellvalue in a String Variable
- Go to the Directory this.workbook + projects
- browse this folder, searching for a File which contains the stored string in its filename
- open the file
- copy a range
- close file
- This.workbook.Activate
- follow the Hyperlink which has been stored as String before
- paste selection
- continue browsing through column H, looking for the next hyperlink.
I have a VBA which runs bugless, but it copies the wrong range, but to the correct destination.
See the code below:
Sub RESLT_INPUT_ALL()
Dim cell As Object
For Counter = 1 To 1000
Set cell = Worksheets("Projects overview").Cells(Counter, 8)
If cell.Hyperlinks.Count > 0 Then

Am working on a procedure to open all files in a folder and copy some data from the files into another workbook (master). I have this piece of the code. However, I also need to get the filename (from which data was copied) and paste this into an adjacent cell in the master (so I know which file each data point came from).

I am trying to open a workbook with
Workbook.Open filename:="xxxxx"
The address in the xxxx is something like this "G:AnimalMammalZZZZGorillayyyy.xls"
The ZZZZZ portion is the result of an InputBox.
What is the syntax for placing the result of that InputBox in the middle of the address?

I'm on excel 2010 and I have a small group excel files I open everyday. Most of the files are static in name and location. I've got a macro created to open those files, which works fine with workbooks.open and the file path.
There are two report files I want to incorporate into my macro of workbooks to open. The files are created weekly and the files names have the following format: "Report Name (YYYY-MM-DD).xlsm". I don't want to use the file's last modified date because older files may get edited after the more recent ones are created. The files are also not always created on the same day, so the solution needs to be flexible enough to not refer to a specific day of the week or anything.
Macro open an excel file based on the latest date found in filename.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
If Weekday(Date) = 7 Or Weekday(Date) = 1 Or Time >= TimeSerial(15, 0, 0) Then

I recorded a macro to save a worksheet as a PDF file
It works fine, except when the PDF file is already open - Excel returns an error message and stops.
Can I use some error handling code to prevent the error, maybe bring up a msgbox and exit the sub at the point where the error occurs?
The part of the code where it stops is:
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
"C:UsersDaveDesktopTestingDemo List.pdf", Quality:= _
xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=False

I thought that I had this working completely, but the test to see if the "file is already open" isn't working.
Something is wrong with my example.

I'm trying to add a little error handling in my code. I have a macro that, when running opens a number of workbooks. At the end of the macro, my code then closes all the workbooks I've opened.
I was wanting to create an error-handling procedure that displayed a message box, and then closed any workbooks that I've opened during the course of the macro. Obviously the error could trigger at any point, so not all workbooks may have been opened at the time
My code is as follows - I've tried On Error Resume Next in the error-handling code, but Excel still returns an error that it can't find the Incidents_MTD sheet when trying to close it.
Code:
On Error GoTo ReportError
code
code
code
ReportError:

It has worked perfectly for about 2 weeks, well now when I go to open the workbook it gives me the debug error of Run Time error 424 Object Required. I last ran this today at about 8 a.m. no errors, but now about 4 hours later, it is bugging out. What is causing this?

I have a macro that checks if a username is in a particular list, and if it is, it unhides certain sheets in the workbook.
The code runs fine if I just run it as a macro or off a command button, but I am trying to execute it when the workbook opens and I keep getting a 57121, Application defined or object defined error.
The code is below;
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
DoEvents
Dim Res1 As VbMsgBoxResult
Dim GovRng As Range
For Each GovRng In Sheets("Map").Range("GovernanceMembers")
If GovRng.Value = Application.UserName Then Goto 111
Next GovRng

I have a program that uses the Document Open event to display a custom form. This program is being used on about 50 computers for the past 8 years with no problems. One user has a problem now. They can open the program once and the code fires. But when the user tries to open the same file a second time, the "Microsoft Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close" dialog box is displayed. The document that is recovered has no vba modules and no code in the Document open event. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Office Professional. Shut down all firewalls.

I am trying to adapt a macro to run on data that is consistently in the same format but the data does change, the macro needs to run over and over on new excel workbooks, dynamic range ? instead of a set source ?
Sheets.Add
ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Create(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _
"weekly71012!R1C1:R9379C30", Version:=xlPivotTableVersion14). _
CreatePivotTable TableDestination:="Sheet1!R3C1", TableName:="PivotTable1" _
, DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion14
I am sure this is the problem as i initially created the macro using weekly71012 excel file however i just want it to run on every file i pull it off?

I have a macro that takes the date from different excel sheets, consolidates the data and renders the pivot table and chart accordingly. It was working fine when the date range defined for the pivot table was static. Now I have made it dynamic since the data range changes each month depending on the number of days it has got. When I run the macro, it runs succesfully, generates the report and save & close the report, but after that I am getting this error. Errorneous
