Hi, I'm trying to use a userform to open a previously saved file to avoid having the users dig through the folder and maybe work on the wrong file.
I have a file I have created to test if the code works, but the macro keeps giving me the reponse I set in case it doesn't find the file.
The data for Account (Account1 and Subaccount1) is coming from a text box, as well as for category (Category1). The data for Company is an optionbutton frame with 4 options for the user to select from.

I have a cell that is pulling data from a separate file, no problem there. However, I want the name of one of the folders within that path to change monthly (eg. by monthly name). How can I make a file path incorporate a cell link within a filepath (eg. instead of it saying 'Aug 06' I want it to refer to cell A1 which reads 'Aug 06').

I created a new workbook that contains a list of additional design requirements than our old checklist. These requirements are answered by placing a 1, 0 or .5 in the cell next to the requirement (1 = yes, 0 = no and .5 for half credit). I can't simply go to the old workbook/worksheet and copy the results into the new workbook/worksheet as the rows of requirements don't match up since some requirmements have been deleted and new ones added between the old and new checklists.
I created a command button in the new checklist and what I want it to do is:
- open a dialog box that lets me select the old checklist file (these are all excel files, but with different names).
- go the the proper worksheet in the old file (DFT Checklist) and copy a column of results from the old checklist ("DFT Checklist" worksheet) and paste them into the proper cells of the new checklist ("DFT Checklist" worksheet).
- The macro would know (i'll have to tell it) which requirements and cells are still valid answers between the old checklist and the new one. It would disregard requirements that are no longer in the new checklist.
- Once complete, it would close the old checklist without saving.

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

I am trying to open set of excel files to fetch data starting from a master excel file where the links are given using a loop. Some of files given as links are either absent or the link is wrong.
* What is the syntax to find if the link is correct/present
* What is the syntax to find if the file is present in specified location
* What is the syntax to find if the file is password protected to open
* I use error handler to resume the next statement if OPEN statement fails.It works fine inside the loop only for first two files.
For example if the third link is errorneous the error handler fails and RUN TIME ERROR occurs.

I want to create a macro that will “open the look in list” and stop so I can pick a file to open. I’ve tried to use “record a macro” and “ctrl-o”, but the record a macro won’t stop until I pick a file or cancel the file list. I also tried to use “o” in the short cut key box

I am trying to create a macro to add to a button that will open an embedded document (word, PPT, and excel).
I recorded the macro and it works fine the first time I try to test it but after it tells me that there is an error...
I'm not exactly sure what to do. Unfortunately, I could not find what I needed on youtube
Error: It talks about the object being out of range and allows me to debug... the code that is in the developer is:
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
'
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Windows("Worksheet in Book1").Visible = True
Selection.Verb Verb:=xlPrimary
ActiveWindow.Close
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
End Sub
The Windows line is what it tells me to fix.. from there I am lost... Is it because I am trying to do a double clicking function?

I have created an Excel Workbook and this Workbook has a VBA code that enforces an expiry date of the workbook (TimeBomb from cpearson.com). So, if the expiry date has passed, the workbook will not open. But since it is VBA related, the expiry date will work only if one has enabled macros. If macros are disabled, the workbook will open regardless of the date.
So, is there a way for Excel to check if macros are enabled? and is there a way for Excel not to open the workbook, if the macros are disabled?

My son just upgraded my computer from 2000 to xp - a new application on a new hard drive. in the process, Excel was upgraded from 97 SR-1 to 97 SR-2.
My checkbook is on excel, and I really need to open it! We just moved to a new location, with the typical problems with email, internet etc.
I can open workbooks without macros. But I cannot open any with macros.
I get this message:
"Could not register the Visual Basic environment."
When that window is closed, the next one says:
"An error occured when initializing the VBA libraries (126)"

Is it possible to open a workbook via vba, but disable the macros? I know this sounds strange, but the workbook is coded to prevent users from saving it, and the only way to save it is to either open it with macros disabled or change the variable OKtoSave to true, but the variable is global only to the sheet and I can't find a way to change it through a macro written in my personal.xls workbook.

I'm trying to avoid using macros in my workbook, however, I'm unable to get my worksheets to change name (based on a named range) without use of them, as follows.
I've written the macro:
Sub MyMacro()
ActiveSheet.Name = Range("MyRange")
End Sub
and then dropped the following into the worksheet
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Run "MyMacro"
End Sub
This works fine, but I'm trying to avoid using macros. When I try to place the following script in the worksheet private code, nothing happens:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
ActiveSheet.Name = Range("MyRange")
End Sub

I have two workbooks. One is a no-nonsense form interface that my bosses will use to enter safety information. I'll call this workbook "Form". This file is stored locally on each of their computers. The other workbook is stored on a common drive. I'll call it "Master".
When my bosses fill out the Form and click "Submit", the Master file is opened, and certain cells are populated based on information entered in the Form. This is the code I am using to make this happen:

I'm doing the following:
Dim myname As String
myname = Application. GetOpenFilename
I use it to attempt to open first a QuickBooks file and then an excel workbook.
The Quickbooks file opens fine. The Excel workbook never appears to open but
I do get the full file pathname to my excel workbook returned which I then
parse off to get just the workbook name.
Why would it behave this way? I open both these files manually all the time.
Also, I'm trying to use a filter as follows:
myname = Application.GetOpenFilename("*.QBW")
I get a compile error saying that I'm calling the function wrong.

I'm posting a workbook on our network that I want to enable users to go in and update. I have the workbook designed, with entry fields for the data they need to enter, and they then push "Submit" to submit the new data to a hidden tracking log within the workbook.
Many of the users will be complete Excel newbies, and although I haven't posted the workbook yet, I am trying to anticipate possible issues. The first that comes to mind is that the user opening the workbook may not have macros enabled in their version of Excel, and they will get a message, and can't perform the udpate. Is there a way to add a Workbook Open event that automatically enable macros in the workbook when they open it, even if it is for this workbook only?

Everytime I open Excel, the personal.xls file opens. What does one need to do to have the personal.xls file available as an option to save macros to, and have it open in the background only - not as an active file you can see?

I'd like to automatically run 1 of 4 macros depending on some criteria. Every workbook created has, unfortunately, the same worksheet name, so that leaves the only differences between the 4 possible loaded workbooks in the cells area and even those can be similiar in many ways. But....I found some criteria to separate all 4 workbooks...Here they are...
run macro 1 if this
1. Worksheet name says "Screen"
2. Cell H1 has the word "Lead"
run macro 2 if this
1. Worksheet name says "Screen"
2. Cell B1 has the word "records" somewhere in the cell
3. Cell H1 has the word "Lead"
run macro 3 if this
1. Worksheet name says "Screen"
2. Cell B1 has the word "records" somewhere in the cell
3. Cell N2 has the word "Delivered"
run macro 4 if this
1. Worksheet name says "Screen"
2. Cell B1 has the word "records" somewhere in the cell
3. Cell N2 has the word "Bevel"
I don't know if this can be done, but if so, that would be fantastic! I'm thinking that the macro would have to be "global" and in the user's personal workbook?
