Rename A File That Is Being Pumped Out By Another Program
Jan 25, 2008
I am using the following code to rename a file that is being pumped out by another program.
Sub CopyAndDelete()
Name "C:Program FilesPATH1234567890_3.tvr" As "C:Program FilesPATHNEWNAME.tvr"
'
End Sub
The problem I have is the the file being pumped has a varible name. The nly constant is the _#.tvr. The first 10 digits are random numbers.
I have persued the "rhymn and reason" for the file name with the vendor and have been told it can not be changed and is random. The "_#.tvr" piece comes from the number of reports I have generated for the day. So I have 5 prefined reports that run each day and can recreate the _0.tvr through _4.tvr but the first 10 are random each time.
I would like for the rename to "ignore" the first 10 digits then looking at the file name.
I have an excel template that needs to be copied multiple times and each sheet needs be named according to a list in an excel spread sheet. I also have a formula in the template that needs the value copied instead of the formula.
I got this script from an site and tried it. It runs but I don't see any spread sheets.
How can I set the SAVE AS file name to equal A1's cell contents? (More specifically, when I need to rename an existing open file and place my cursor in A1 and hit Save As, I need to new file name to automatically populate A1's cell contents so I don't have to retype the contents of A1.)
Is It Possible To Auto Save To A File Via A Macro?
What I Want To Do Is To Auto Save Directly To A Folder On Our System Via A Macro.
The Problem Is That Firstly It Will Need To Look Up A Cell ( D8 ) To Find Out The Job Number
Then It Will Have To Find The Folder On Our System ( Its On Desktop Under Job File Folder ) Then Comes The Hard Bit It Will Need To Locate That Job Number ( Cell D8 ) To Look Up The Relevant Folder To Put It In. All The Job Files Are Labelled Up Eg.( J2663 - Parry ) Then In That Folder Is A Sub Folder Called Docs Which It Needs To Be Saved In
I was wondering if there is a way to open up a given program (notepad in my example) ..paste data from cells copied in excel and save the notepad file to a specific location and close it out?? The file path will be given from a data cell in excel as well as the file name.
From searching the forums i've come up with the way to open notepad using the lines
Dim RetVal As Variant RetVal = Shell("C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32 otepad.exe")
I am trying to edit some formulas Under the Mon-D15 worksheet in this file. The # NUM is where I am having trouble. Basically, what I want to do is only rank the names in C15:C18. I was successful in doing this with C10:C14. But, for some reason it will not work with the lower values.
Question #2 Is there a way to make Columns I:O stay static through Rows 1:24 (width=3)? I want Rows 25:40 to be different widths (width=2) in Columns I:O.
I've written most of the code that I need... the problem is that I don't know how to properly select, move and rename the pdf from excel.
I have a popup to select the file, and I know what I want it to be called, what I need is the code to move and rename a non-excel file from inside a macro.
Here is what I have so far:
Sub AttachPDF()
Dim LastName As String Dim Street As String Dim callDate As String Dim FilePath As String Dim HouseNumber As String Dim FullFileName As String Dim FileName As String Dim Scan As String
Range("D32").Select 'Ask user what file they want to attach. Scan = Application. GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Follow Up Scan, *.pdf", Title:="Please Choose A PDF To Attach")

I want when i want another copy always my path should be "C: estabc.xlsm" and For new file in same path "C: estdef.xlsm" an input box ask for the name("def.xlsm") "what new name u want for this new file".
I have some code which will look for a specific file in a given location. Is it possible to use VBA to rename that file without opening/re-saving and killing the specific file?
Dim fexport1 As String ' variables for the exported file Dim fexport2 As String Dim wb1 As String 'variables to change between the opened workbooks Dim wb2 As String strTemp = "Please Choose The Exported File" MsgBox strTemp fexport1 = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls)") If InStr(fexport1, "False") = 0 Then Workbooks.Open fexport1 wb1 = ActiveWorkbook.Name
Else strTemp = "Operation Canceled" End If
The problem is that Crystal Reports generates the file with an invalid worksheet name (it contains a backslash) and I do not have access to modify the Crystal Report. Althought the file can be automatically repaired by Excel when manually opened, the macro chokes and the "Application.DisplayAlerts = False" does not fix it. The only solution I can think of is renaming the worksheet without opening the file.
I think my code is close but I keep getting an error "Run-time error '1004': Application-defined or object-defined error"
I am trying to rename the active workbook by appending yesterday's date onto the filename, using the Save As.
I might be going about this all wrong anyway. My user needs the macro to save, rename, and close the renamed copy of the workbook but to leave the original workbook open. I'm trying to do it in steps so I might be doing this the hard way. However, my code to Save As is below:
Sub SaveAsRename()
Dim CurrentPath As String Dim CurrentFileName As String Dim NewFileName As String Dim Today As Date
I am trying to move and rename an excel template file using a macro. My code works fine when it is moving the file locally on my C: drive. However, when I try to do it on a mapped network drive I get a Path/File access error. Here is the relevant code:

I've added an word object to my excel sheet as an icon. The only problem is that it shows the word icon then under it says 'Microsoft Word Document'. This might be an obvious and silly question. But how do I Rename the 'Microsoft Word Document' to a title of my choice?
I am trying to copy a file, rename it, and save it to a new folder. I keep getting a "Compile Error ; Syntax Error" at line FileCopy (ImagePath & oldName, NewPath & newName). I am using Excel 2010.

As I am running the Sun Dreamteam at work and have 25 different teams, is there a program that will work out how many points each team have once the points have been entered.
I have looked but cannot find anything, just wondering if someone out there has set one up that I can use.
When an .xls file is double clicked, Excel opens with the following error message:
'F:Program.xls’ could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct. If you are trying to open the file from your list of most recently used files on the File menu, make sure that the file has not been renamed, moved, or deleted.
When the dialog box is clicked, another error message is displayed with the same words, but with the file name 'microsoft.xls'.
I have tried un-registering and re-registering Excel, and uninstalling and re-installing all of Office 2003.
KB 177248 refers to this problem and suggests: ....
How to call another program from excel using VBA, then excetue commands within it. All the commands are text based, and the program will respond to it, but i am not sure how to automate this.
I would like to know if it is possible to run a macro from excel for another program and then have results imported into excel.
Currently I have a program called Reflection WRQ that I run a macro in and the results are captured in a text file. Then I run a macro in Excel that imports that text file. If possible I would like to have my macro in Excel run the command in Reflection and then import the results in Excel.
I have data in an Excel worksheet that needs to be entered into a proprietary programme. I believe this is possible using SendKeys but as I need to keep switching back to Excel to get the next bit of data I am unsure as to how to go about this. The program would already be open as it is a dial up situation and I would have to dial into the relevant site first.
I am making a Program search tool for my company. I would like the operator to type a part number into a cell. If the part number is valid (from a master list on a different sheet), then I would like to pull the information from the master list and populate a few cells on the search worksheet.
Example:
An operator types: "W3303-01" in a cell and clicks a button. The macro would populate cells on that worksheet with information from another worksheet that pertains to "W3303-01"

I've just begun a C&G in VB for work even though at work we use Excel, I'm trying to convert the program we did this week so that it works in Excel. Basically I want to click on the Font button and have the font dialogue box come up and let me change the font in the label (if the checkbox is ticked), hope it makes sense, this is what I have but it doesn't work and I cannot work out why.
