I found this code and maybe I'm almost there. I need to get the value of the Environment variable called HOME if it exists.
These macros collect all the environemnt variabes into an array and then show them in a messabe box.
I am having trouble getting a macro to open a specific file from an open workbook in the same folder based on the current path of the open file. The application is this... I have two files in the same folder. The first is for data entry and it contains a macro button that will open the second which is a template to which the data in the first will be copied. I can easily do this with a fixed path to the second file, however, I would like to be able to move or copy the folder containing these files to other locations or computers without having to change the path each time. I would like to base the path to the second file minus the file name on the first (already open file) path. Assuming that the first file containing the desired macro button is already open, here is one of many of my attempts...
Workbooks.Open " ActiveWorkbook.PathJob Tracker -.xls"
Assuming the second file is the active workbook, I achieved a similar path assignment when saving the file...
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "Application.Path/Jobs Active/" & "Job Tracker -" & Range(" '[Job Tracker -.xls]Specifications'!$A$6").Value
1 I need to open a csv file in order to use data in it at location "C:BarkingEMCIN" to input into an xls spreadsheet. I then need to use the info from the xls spreadsheet along with other info input by users to produce another .csv and it be deposited at "C:BarkingEMCOUT"
The name of the file at "C:BarkingEMCIN" will change everyday or even multiple times a day and be in the format "AVA_DA_260208_BPL_EDF_001.CSV" "AVA DA " will remain the same "260208" will be todays date the next 2 will be interchangeable depending on requirements and use BPL EDF and SSE will be interchangeable depending on requirements and 001 will be the version whcih will be changable. _ underscores will be used as seperators
They will then be save in the format "NOM_DA_260208_BPL_EDF_001.CSV" using the same prinipals as before but automatically saving as the next available when needed with a prompt to tell the user what it will be
1. Are the Workbook Environment and the VBE environment simply two different forms? Meaning, when I press alt+F11, am I just switching between 2 default forms?
2. Is Excel itself written in VBA? And if it's written in VB or C, which would make more sense, is the GUI side of things written in VBA?
The reason I ask is pretty simple. I really love the way the Workbook environment and the VBE environment are set up. I want to use them as models for my own forms. Both environments seem little more than two very complex forms. And I want to replicate so much about them.
3. But is it possible to replicate anything I see as part of these environments in my own forms?
For instance, what is the VBE Project window? Is it a ListBox? I need to code a form that does something very similar to the way it groups and collapses Projects and their sub-groups like Microsoft Objects, Sheets, ThisWorkbook, etc. I've used grouping to make rows and columns collapsible. But never items in a ListBox... But am I right to assume that I can do so, just because Excel's environment does it? Meaning, can it be assumed that anything I see Excel doing itself, a talented programmer can replicate in forms of his own?
I had to change sheet one but everytime I open this workbook, it keep saying "Application-defined or object-defined error"
but I cannot find what is causing the bug. I have checked the name of sheet and it seem correct for me in the codes.
Say you define a public range variable called Inputworksheet and you set it to refer to the worksheet called Inputworksheet. You have a separate string variable with the value Inputworksheet. How do you get this string variable value to call/control the range variable Inputworksheet?
I am getting an excel worksheet value from a lookup function that corresponds to the name of a VBA range variable. Once I have this worksheet value, I would like to use the range variable that has the same name as the worksheet value.
I need to save a document in the following path: [URL] .......

I am using a script within excel as part of this script I want create a new folder to store information
Code:
ChDir "C:Documents and SettingsAdminDesktopMIKEPAYROLL2011-12"
However I want to use a variable called "NEWYEAR" which holds the 2011-12 part
For example this part stays the same
ChDir "C:Documents and SettingsAdminDesktopMIKEPAYROLL
folder 2011-12 held in variable NEWYEAR may or maynot exist.
if the folder exists I want to be able to use the folder, however if it doesn't I need to create it.
The problem is I am not sure how to incorporate the variable into the path.
I have been using this code to auto print a series of workbooks whose file date contains the day i want. Each if statement looks to a different folder location to find the spreadsheet with the desired date and auto prints that sheet before moving on to the next if and spreadsheet, and then finally closing. I use an input box to get the date/day variable.
The spreadsheets i auto print are in folders labeled for different months of the year, i.e. 0107, 0207 etc. I want to be able to enter the MONTH i want the spath to look for, in other words, i want to be able to input first the month, which tells the rest of the routine what folder to look for the next input, which is the date of the spreadsheet. I am flummoxed by the variable itself.
The code is below.
Public Sub Auto_Open()
Dim sCurFile As String
Dim sPath As String
fpath = InputBox("shift and day (BXX) of the month to print?", "print")
'Get the path
sPath = "k:2007207"
If sPath <> "" Then
On Error Resume Next
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
If Right(sPath, 1) <> "" Then
sPath = sPath & ""
End If
how can i open a different path of the workbook in the listbox. if my listbox there only show the file name.

What I am doing is trying to open a file that excel closes in a save as process!
Private Sub cmdImport_Click()
Dim exportFile As String
exportFile = "c:jpmimportTrinity_ImpImport_" & Format( Date, "dd-mm-yy") + "_" + Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss") & ".csv"
Open exportFile For Output As #1
I put a watch on exportFile and it's correctly set to: "c:jpmimportTrinity_ImpImport_15-02-07_17:55:01.csv"
However if I try to run this I get "bad file name or numer" when I open for output - the path exists and I can write to it, so must have a fundamentally wrong approach.
I have an application that requires users to download a file from a location that is then imported at their execution into the application. I've done my best to counsel users to download the file to their desktop (for ease of locating) and to stick with a standard filename so that there are no errors. Some of these people just don't take direction well, will save the file wherever, or save the name inappropratly, or worse, open up multiple copies of the same file corrupting the name: ie: FileName.xls, FileName.xls(1), FileName1.

I have a macro that inserts a photo via a photo path that has been set as an object variable. This macro has always worked for me in Excel 2003 but after updating to Excel 2013, the macro gives me a "runtime error 1004 - unable to get the insert property of the picture class". When I debug, Excel crashes.
The macro is designed to loop through up to nine fields (in 9 adjacent columns) and find a photo path for a picture, insert the picture, and print that page, then go to the next column, get the photo path and insert that picture and repeat. The initial part of the macro is as follows. The PhotoID as Object seems to be what no longer works...
I do not care if the inserted photos are maintained in the file when it is not connected to the3 drive hosting the photos, only that I can print them when the drive is available.
Sub PrintPDFImpSums()[INDENT][INDENT]Dim PageNo
Dim RangePrint As Range

I am running a macro which ends up showing the save as dialog box. The name is correct (data) and the type is correct (XML files) but no matter what I try the file path is not right. Here is the section of
sDataFile = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("data.xml", fileFilter:="XML Files (*.xml), *.xml")
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set js = fs.CreateTextFile(sDataFile, True, False)
Set f = fs.GetFile(sDataFile)
sFilePath = f.parentfolder & ""
Set f = Nothing
How do I set the file path? I have already seen lots of answers to this but they are based on changing the path permanently or on there being no dialog box already open. I need total automation with the user not being able to see any of the save process.
I have this structure:
Sub macro()
Dim columnSheet2 As range
With ThisWorkbook
Set valueCell = .Sheets("sheet1").range("B2")
Set timeCell = .Sheets("sheet1").range("J2")
End With
If timeCell.Text "#N/A" Then
myHour = Hour(timeCell)
myMinute = Minute(timeCell)
'#######################
If (myHour = 5) Then
If (myMinute = 0) Then
Set columnSheet2 = A65536
...
if I run it it gives me an error here
Set columnSheet2 = A65536
saying variable not defined, why?
I would like to have a macro button that will open the file location (path were the excel is stored) in MS explorer.
I found something like:
Sub ExplorePath()
Shell Environ("windir") & "Explorer.exe " & ActiveDocument.Path, vbMaximizedFocus
End Sub
But that give the error that an object is needed. Would that also work for MS Word?
Is there a way to use the open dialog box (like as if you where opening another workbook) and then with the selected item inster the path and file name into a cell.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking for macro that when run, will open a file explorer window and prompt the user to select a folder and file where they have data stored. Then I need it to be stored as a variable and used as a part of a "Workbook.Open Filename" command.
The reason for this is that, I have a huge formatting marco stored within a workbook. When a user extracts a report from SAP, I want the workbook to grab the file that is extracted, open it and import all of the data in order to be formatted.
I'm getting a Variable Not Defined error
in my workbook_open I have the following code
Code:
Dim workround As Integer
workround = 0
in one of my sheets worksheet_change I have
Code:
If workround = 0 then
when I get to this I get the Variable not defined error. I am using this to bypass some code that does not always need to be run (it slows the workbook down). So I also have another piece of code that toggles workround from 0 to 1.
I have a feeling this error has something to do with Option Explicit. But My limited understanding is obviously insufficient to know what is happening or how to fix it. As I believe that I have defined the variable within the workbook_open code.
I have a macro which defines a workbook selected by the user as the name ServicingInfoFile.
The macro then proceeds to write vlookup formulas in another workbook to pull data from the ServicingInfoFile workbook.
Only problem is that the code errors out at the vlookup formulas every time.
Can I not use a Variable in a formula?
Is it just my syntax?
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=VLOOKUP(RC[-1],'" & ServicingInfoBook & "'!C1:C2,2,FALSE)"
I have some code which defines a variable 'F'
