Open .ppt File From Command Button

Mar 17, 2009

I have created a large process map workbook in excel that links to various areas within the document using command buttons.

However, one of the things I need users to be able to see s in a PowerPoint presentation.

All I need to do is create a command button that links to, and opens this .ppt file.

The .xsl and .ppt files will be distributed in a folder to other members of the team so I need the link to not be specific to my computer. Is it possible to avoid using the full path and just use a short path such as .../desktop/tools/process.xls so that as long as they store the folder on their own desktop the link works?

Command Button Link To Open Sheet(s)

Jan 17, 2007

I am trying to create a sheet with 'buttons' on, a bit like a 'linked table of contents', that will take the user to individual sheets (as opposed to clicking on the sheet tabs). I can see how to place Command buttons on a sheet (in this case Sheet1), but I think I need help with the code to make the buttons function as I envisage. Is this in the scope of help via this forum?

Macro To Open File, Copy Paste As Values And Save As Excel Html

Feb 16, 2010

I have a folder containing 40 single sheet excel workbooks and I would like to automate following tasks:

- Open each excel file (need to open the file so as to update it since it gets the data from another workbook through =formulas)

- Copy paste as values

- Save this as excel html in the same folder as original excel files (keeping the original file name)

- Close (original excel file should not be changed ie formulas should remain in place, only the html file will contain values)

- Since there will always be xHtml files with same name need the macro to replace the excisting file

My abilities with excel are limited to functions, no VBA knowledge other than finding ready codes and pasting them in the module.

Since this routine is to be run almost daily the macro should run all files, instead of one by one.

I just hope that I am not asking too much for excel to handle and I hope that explanation is clear.

Excel 2007 :: Export To PDF Command Button Save As File Name?

Dec 17, 2012

Excel 2007 I have a button that will export the worksheet to pdf and save it as Acrobat requires. I have a network folder set up and it saves the file with the name that I have programed in the macro. I would like to have the file name set up to be what is in cell C3 then a space and the specific words.

For example, if C3 contains "123456" I want the file to be named "123456_Warranty Calculator"

I will end up using this in several worksheets which will have a different name as part of the file name (based on the worksheet name).

I would also like to have the last part of the file name be the worksheet name. ie, "Warranty Refund", "PDR Refune", etc.

I will have several users that will be using the workbook and possible saving at the same time and want each person to be able to find the one they saved instead of it being overwritten.

Open Document File From A Button Control

Apr 24, 2007

I have created simple buttons on my spreadsheet to do most everything that is needed, except to display a "Help" file. The "Help" file can be a pdf document or any other document format that will work. I don't think I need any user forms or ActiveX controls. But, then again, I am a relative newbie to VB. Is there a simple way to have a button control on an Excel spreadsheet open and display a pdf file or other document? Or is there a better way to do what I'd like?

Visual Basic Code - Open Local PDF At Specific Anchor From Excel?

Aug 8, 2012

I want to create a series of hyperlinks in excel to pdf's stored on a local drive/CD as a kind of database. This much I can do with a nifty bit of code I saw someone put up here as follows;

Sub Run_Local_PDF()
MyPath = "C:Program FilesAdobeReader 9.0ReaderAcroRd32.exe"
myFile = "C:Documents and SettingsmynameDesktoppdffilename.pdf"
Shell MyPath & " " & myFile, vbNormalFocus
End Sub

Which works great and is sitting snug in a module. However, the document I am linking to has various anchors in it which exisit as sectionheaders. One of which is "Contents".

Is there a quick way I can alter my exisitng VB code to open at one of these anchors?

Updating Local Excel File Through The Internet?

Apr 14, 2014

30 people in different countries use a sophisticated VBA Excel file on their local PCs, let's call it myexcelfile.xls. This file contains no custom data, as all data is stored in myexcelfile_backup.xls.

The biggest challenge with this set up is that whenever there is a newer release or bugfix of myexcelfile.xls, I need to send it out per email to 30 people and hope they replace it with my updated version.

Note that newer versions can replace older versions without any data loss, as all data is stored in the backup file.

Idea: with tools like WGET or BITSADMIN, I was thinking of creating a batch file, that would simply download the latest version from a FTP server, and replace the older version with the newly downloaded one.

Constraints: I shouldn't be using any software that is not native to Windows 7the files can sit in different folders on these 30 computers, therefore the update mechanism would have to identify the path they are in.the update mechanism would have to close the file first before running the update. Question: What is the best way to go about this? A DOS Batch file? Or another excel file that is just the "updater", meaning, it's only purpose is to download the new file from the web and overwrite the old file?

Download And Save Picture From Url Into Local File

Jan 28, 2010

I have a program operating in excel 2007 that extracts a picture from a URL and puts it into a PPT slide. I now discover that PPT 2007 doesn't allow this.

So my intent now is to download the jpg into a local file and then import into the PPT.

This is from a couple of sites:
[url]
[url]

At the top of the code:

Option Explicit

Private Declare Function URLDownloadToFile Lib "urlmon" Alias "URLDownloadToFileA" _
(ByVal pCaller As Long, _
ByVal szURL As String, _
ByVal szFileName As String, _
ByVal dwReserved As Long, _
ByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long

in the excel cell if a URL picture needs to be inserted it starts with the prefix "picture=" then the http address.

This did not work.

So I then copied the code from the websites into a module (changing the destination file and URL to mine of course) and called the procedure and still nothing.

Send A File By Email Versus To A Local Desktop

Case "TD"
strfilename = "\TomsblackibmTomsProposals" & strfilename

I would like to send this file by email if possible instead of to his computer. The user recently went from a desktop "in the office" to a laptop "all over the place".

Sub Save_and_SaveSalesman()


Dim strPath As String, strPath2 As String, CurrPath As String

Dim WB1 As Workbook
Dim WB2 As Workbook

Set WB1 = ActiveWorkbook

'First thing, save my work
WB1.Save

CurrPath = WB1.Path

'ASSUMING THAT C6 and O3 are BOTH in WB1
'move this line HERE: only do this once, and concatenate in the Select..Case later
'doing thsi inside the Select..Case pulls values from WB2, which might cause errors.............................

MsgBox Open That States This File Is Confidential And You Click 'I Agree' Button, Or A Cancel "I Decline

May 19, 2007

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
MsgBox "Insert Text Here" , vbOKCancel
End Sub

What I would like to do is have a MsgBox open up that states this file is confidential and you click 'I Agree' button, or a cancel "I Decline"

I do not want the spreadsheet to be visible until they click on 'I Agree' button, and then if they click cancel, the Excel closes.

This is not a huge security issue, just a reminder for the Top Brass not to email out the file. This is for looks and show only

Command Button Name / Sort By Command Button

Feb 3, 2010

How can I return name of a command button on click? I want to create some sort buttons on a sheet I will use regularly to speed things up. I thought if I could call each sort button by the column letter the button sits in I can use this in a single sub for all buttons

e.g the button sitting in column A is called "A". when i click the button, it returns it's name to a variable which I can then use to sort column A. I know I could create a seperate routine for each button but I was just trying to think of something neater.

Run Command Button Click From Another Command Button

Aug 31, 2007

I have a userform with a button on it named But1. Is it possible to store But1 into a variable then activate the But1_Click action using a variable?

Dim strButname As String
strButname ="But1"

Now, how would you activate the But1_Click method using strButname variable. With listboxes you can use the Control(strListboxName) methodology?

This doesn't work, but gives you an idea of what I am trying to do.

Controls(strButname)_click

Command Button Click Creates New Rows Above Button?

Nov 8, 2012

I currently am using a form button to create new rows.

I need two different kind of buttons. I have a button that does this-

VB:
Sub InsertRow()
'this inserts a row where the button is clicked.
Dim r As Range

[Code]....

However, when I try and create these codes using a Command button (I need it for the color), I get the error

"unable to get the buttons property of the Worksheet class"

P.S one other thing, say the button is in row 3, and Cells A1 and A2 are merged, when you click the button in row 3, it should extend the merge to A3.

Open HTML Docs In Excel Via VBA Code?

Jan 16, 2013

I have received several hundred "Excel" data file dumps from an unspecified corporate database ( SAP? ). They are nominally spreadsheets, that is they are tables of mixed data that Excel recognizes, as they are exported from the database as such.

I'd like to walk a directory containing these files, and only these files, open each in turn save them as proper Excel files and close them. The end goal is to import these tables into a Access database, but Access doesn't recognize them either. I also need to repair values in one field which is easier to accomplish in Excel.

Unfortunately, opening the file generates an error I've been unable to trap, due to the fact the excel thinks its an HTML file, which it is, and wants me to verify that I do want to open it. Similarly, I receive a message when I try to save the file that requires me to nominate an acceptable Excel file type, which I can do in code.

Toolbar Command Button As Toggle Button

Aug 13, 2008

I have read several articles saying using a command button as a toggle button can't be done but some articles have said it is possible using the state properties.

.State = msobuttondown
.State = msobuttonup

Is there any way to combine this with the onaction property so that when you press the button, it stays down and activates a macro then when you press it again it pops back up and activates another macro.
