View 4 RepliesI created folder on my desktop to hold various documents. I have master excel document which contains forms and command buttons that open documents from same folder. Is there a way to change code instead of having full file path to specify current directory. I'm worried that if I move this folder to another location then my open file button will not work since location is changed.
Also when I open with command button word document, I have a button on word document to close. I can close document but word application is still active. Can I close word application with the document at the sam time. This is the code I'm using: "ActiveWindow.Close"

i want a macro to copy a range, say a1:e5, and paste the values and fonts/boarders/etc (ie no formulas) into a new workbook
the ones i found copy a whole sheet, i just want a portion....
This Macro (Located within "SWMS Auto-Fill.xlsm) scans the folder its in and transfers information into select cells within each .xlsm file it finds. However I need to move the SWMS Auto-Fill.xlsm file to the parent directory.
So I need it to scan: Workbook DirectorySection4
Code is below:
VB:
Sub Autofill_SWMSs()
Dim MyPath As String
Dim MyFile As String
Dim Wkb As Workbook
Dim Cnt As Long

I want code to:
Open EstimatingSheet.xls

Open EstimatingSheet.xls workbook from somewhere on C:
Then close the one with B13.xls
I want to create a standard macro that will copy values from a Master workbook to the current, active workbook I have open. The problem I have run into is when I record a macro it also records the name of the active workbook I'm copying data into and I would like it so when I bring up a workbook I just run the macro and it copies the values in. I'll be doing 8 different macros that each copy different values from the Master spreadsheet

When day1 is complete you click on button and it then copies itself and creates and renames new sheet to "Day2", then when "Day2" is complete you click on button and it then copies itself and creates and renames new sheet to "Day3", and so on and so forth to "Day30".

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am continuing to struggle with my first attempt at a macro, and wonder if someone would mind taking a look to see where I have gone wrong? All I am trying to do is create file copying tool where the user can define the source and destination directory in workbook cells, and assign the macro to a button to complete the copy of all files from source to destination.
The macros do this:
Source and Location directory defined in Sub Archive1.
These are passed to file copy macro Sub ArchiveScript.
This macro checks for presence of destination directory, ensures that the directory backslash is in place, specfies the variables fn and fn2 to make sure the filecopy command copies all files in the directory, and then carries out the filecopy function itself.
However, I am getting two errors from the code that I can't figure out (I am still very much a beginner!)
- Invalid procedure call or element on fn = dir() at the bottom
- The copy still works, but only seems to copy one file from the source to the destination, and not all of them.
I have the following Macro that I run assigned to a Button.
Sub AskAndDo()
If MsgBox("Have you Finished collecting data ?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion) = vbNo Then
Exit Sub
Else
If MsgBox("Have you Printed the Reports ?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion) = vbNo Then
Exit Sub
Else
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="\gamingntcompanyFLOAT MASTERFloat_Sheet_" & Format(Date, "_YY_MM_DD")

Read “My Documents” Path And Use Result
Problem:
Note:
Typical user OS will be Windows XP Pro / Win 2K
Excel version : 97 / 2002 / 2003
1. Corporate network security settings will only allow directory/subdirectory creation in the “My Documents” section of customers individual computers.
2. Per customer request, VBA application needs to save extracted files for future use.
3. I can specify an initial “My Documents” subdirectory be made and the VBA application file be loaded/copied into that location – i.e. – “My DocumentsCat”.
4. When VBA application is opened from that specified directory, (first time), the application needs to make an additional subdirectory tree to save future files. I can read the opened from location via VBA with the following:
Dim filepath As String
filepath = ThisWorkbook.Path
As an example – this code would produce a string definition of “filepath” – such as the following:............................
I am trying to use VB to save a workbook into the same directory but with a file name that references the folder it is stored in...if that makes sense!
Here is where I have got to so far but fails on save,

mdy = Month(Now()) & "." & Day(Now()) & "." & Year(Now())
fold = ThisWorkbook.Path
FName = fold & "-" & mdy & "-(New).xls"
SaveName = fold & "" & FName
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs (SaveName)
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

I need an vba code that if my workbook is open say at 14:00 that it automatically save and close the workbook.

I have a VBA form that the user enters information into and once they click submit on the form the code opens a new workbook and then enters the information from the form into that workbook. What I need is for that code to then save the workbook with a filename from one of the fields entered into the form but I'm not too sure how to do this.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI did a macro on my mac to transfer a sheet from one workbook to another worbook. It works very well when the destination workbook is open. Therefore I wanted to add some piece of code to check if the destination workbook is open. If not then I wanted the macro to open it before tranfering the sheet. Here is the code I´m using for tranfering the sheet

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set ws = ActiveSheet

I have a workbook with Macros in it, now I want to create a copy of that workbook using VBA.
Here are the steps i want:
1. Create a copy of an open workbook
2. Open the Copy.
3. Close the original workbook.
i am using the macro below to get excel to hide all sheets but the one called "open"...
PHP
Sub savemini()
ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect "letmein"
For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Not sh.Name = "open" Then sh.Visible = xlVeryHidden
Next sh
ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub
So the workbook is protected with the password "letmein", and the VB code above in theory should unlock the workbook, allowing all visible sheets to be hidden with the exception of the sheet called "open". Then is saves the file.
Now heres the odd bit... it works for certain people, but not for others. I have made sure those it wont work for are not doing anything weird and they are not.
The workbook i am using has a code that only opens certain sheets for certain users. I as a master user have access to all sheets. I can go into the users sheets and click the button that activates the macro above myself and it works fine, but for some users it wont work.
Here's my macro:
Code:
Sub CopyRow()'
'Copies row to new sheet, highlights it, marks column 'A' as copied.
'
Dim cCell As Range
Set cCell = Selection.Cells(1, 1)
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Rows("2:2").Select
[Code] .....
Is it possible to modify it to paste into a different workbook called c:filesDestination.xlsm, instead of the existing workbook (Source.xlsm)? The destination sheet name is the same (Sheet2). It's OK if both workbooks are open at the same time.
I have to excel files, both have the same data. I created a pivot table macro on the first file. I want to be able to open the second file and use the shortcut to create the pivot table. the problem is that it refers back to the original workbook I created the macro on. How do I change the code to make it refer to the current workbook?
Code:
Sub Pivot()

Is there a way to run a macro in an open workbook when the workbook becomes activated or deactivated? So if I have workbook A open with a macro in it and workbook B open as well, can I have the macro run on workbook A when that becomes the workbook I see on my screen?

I want open the file "EstimatingSheet" where ever it is.
I have created a spreadsheet some time ago and have been asked to improve on it but I'm rusty with VBA.
I have an automated ordering system that saves each sent order as the date e.g "05-04-2013.xls" but the management team want a graph with the data for the last 4 weeks compared. I have created a seperate workbook called "consumables report.xls" which has a column with the products listed followed by columns "Quantity" and "cost" which is repeated for the 4 weeks of the month.
I want to add a button to prompt the user to choose the saved order e.g "05-04-2013.xls" (all orders saved in same directory) to copy and paste the quantity and cost columns (c8,D69) into "consumables report.xls". I got this to work earlier but it would only paste the formulas and not the values. So I need
A prompt to open workbook
Copy range (c8,d69)
Close work sheet
Paste special .value (c8,D69)
I dont care if it has to open the workbook to copy the data as this will only be used once a month so it dosnt matter how slow the code is.
week 1 week 2 week 3 week 4

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a tool file which contains Excel VBA codes. When I click button it asks to select a file. I want that anytime I click the button the dialogue box should open in the folder containg the tool.,
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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

I have numerous sub directories, C:/Jobs/12500 – 12599, C:/Jobs/12600 – 12699 etc, within these directories exist spreadsheets with file names like 12675.xls (in this case it’s in the “12600 – 12699” directory). In my open spreadsheet, in cell A1, there is a job number, say 12675. I want to find and open the existing 12675.xls spreadsheet. If the spreadsheet does not exist, a template (Costing.xlt), in a fixed directory, is opened and then saved, in the correct sub directory i.e. C:/Jobs/12600 – 12699/12675.xls. I am now using the following code, but the directory is fixed. How can it be modified to work with variable directories?

Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:Spreadsheets" & Range("A1") & ".xls"
If Err <> 0 Then
Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:SpreadsheetsCosting.xlt"

I have a macro which works well. All it does is save a file to a specified location on my network. However, after a file is saved there is no prompt telling the user that the file was saved successfully leaving them wondering whether the macro actually worked.
VB:
Public Sub SaveAs() ThisFile = Range("X2").Value
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="legdcAudits" & ThisFile & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=52
End Sub
