I have written a fairly large spread sheet, and I have consistently had excel crashes when the first form initialises at startup.
However if I resave the workbook over itself or sometimes as another name it will then work. Once it works - it will always work while I dont restart my computer. The next day the same workbook will crash on form startup. Once this happens t always crashes on startup. If it works OK first up it always works. However if I edit it the process may happen all over again. I am 100% their is no error in the code as in certain stages it has worked for months. It seams like some bug in excel?
Has anyone ever had this issue?
I have a set of userforms, two of which are big with 4 pages and many buttons, labels and textboxes that run or are involved in code being run from user input to the userform.
For some reason certain codes are cauing excel to fully crash, executing these codes will make excel crash each time and the only way to prevent it (that I have found) is to open the userform in VB editor and then close VB editor again, the code will then work perfectly for a while and then it will start crashing again (it is normally a few saves and open/closes later that this occurs).
Logically thinking, opening the userform in VB must reset something that gets corrupted or set incorrectly....
Intermittent run-time error '75' Could not find the specified object.
Debug shows VBA Code that simply loads a form called controls
Sub loadcontrols() Load Controls Controls.Show End Sub
Generally works upon restart. Can load and unload the form numerous times. Seems loading the form after a few minutes results in the form failing to load generating the error. Found no consistent cause thus far.
Results in a hard crash: Restart Excel as only option.
The Form Code for Controls loads a modeless transaprent form. Has been working for months. Don't know if this error is new or has been there all along.

I am creating a report which lists gifts during a two week time period. Most donors have only one gift, listed in column C and D. Some donors have donated twice or three timies in the two week period. I would like these entries, which are intermittent in Cloumns H-I and K-L, to be automatically moved under the corresponding cells in columns C and D. This way an individuals two or three donations all end up in one column.
I am analysing market data to determine when trades should take place and when they should be closed. This works well. But I need to find the intermittent high value between the dates for purchase and the closing trades, and then insert these values in column S in the attached worksheet.
I don't know if a function can find these values or if a macro is needed (or if I should amend the existing macro that currently finds the closing trades).
This macro is included in the attached spreadsheet. It Is:
I have a multipage userform with about 7 pages. When page 5 is activated, it caused excel to completely lock up. This does not happen everytime but randomly, and I can't seem to figure out what is causing this.
Here is the code - If Me.MultiPage1.Value = 5 Then Call LaborCosts End If
Sub LaborCosts()
If Not Range("A46").Text = "" Then frmpricingtemplate.Label29.Visible = True frmpricingtemplate.TextBox46.Visible = True frmpricingtemplate.Label29.Caption = Range("A46").Text Else
I searched the forum for an answer to my problem since I'm positive its a FAQ. Well I was right and many other users have asked a similiar question. My problem is this: I am looking to find the average of a set of numbers in column T that meets certain criteria. I was suggested by other user to use this function which finds me the total number. =SUMPRODUCT(--($E$1:$E$400="S"),--($H$1:$H$400=17),--($U$1:$U$400<>"BEBLT"),--($U$1:$U$400<>"NVLIV"),--($T$1:$T400 > 0),$T$1:$T$400)
I have tried inputing Count, Countif, Average in place of Sumproduct as well as Count enclosing the entire sumproduct function. Nothing seems to work for me. I have also tried using a SQL statement in my VBA to provide a count but it doesn't seem to produce the required result. The above function works like a charm for finding the sum, but I need to find the average of this number thus I am looking for the Count equivilant. I'm sure this is a simple problem and I'm still a rookie when it comes to functions in excel.
I have having alot of frustation with a big group of Macro's I have written, all the macros work and run fine most of the time but they crash Excel on occasion and the only way I have been able to fix it is to go into Visual Basic and opening the project up (it is password protected) but not making any changes, after doing this it seems to magically stop crashing, for a while, then doing it again.
I can't work out how or why that would make a difference, I dont expect you to try and work out a problem in the code or anything like that cause it is too big and would be unreasonable of me to ask,
What I would like to know is if anyone else is aware of this sort of issue, why it happens and if there is any good cure for it?
I am running excel 2003 if that also makes any difference.
I've created a price sheet that I distribute to customers that is very customer specific. I have to add spacing, logo's, borders and highlighting depending on the products being listed. Because of all of this specialization I'm controlling the page breaks and overflow. I have a counter to keep the current line number of the report and another to determine the row within the current page. I've designed my form to have 77 lines per page and I call a pagebreak/overflow routine when I hit line 72 of each page. Works perfectly when I test on my PC and works about 80% of the time when I send to customers, but I have about 20% who have problems with page size and overflow. In working with them I've found that it's not just the printed copy, but also when they print preview on screen. The first few lines of the second page print at the bottom of the first, so the top of page two is cut off. Then 4 lines from page three print at the bottom of two and so on...
I've got a spreadsheet that lists employee hours worked by week, I'm trying to create a function that would give an automatic look-back of both 90 days and 6 months. I've found some useful answers in other threads, but they tend to hinge on a zero value cell signaling the latest week (not) worked; however, for this purpose, some employees may have zero value fields for some weeks but have worked others.
I'm looking for a formula that can be uniformly applied to all employees in the spreadsheet and average their weekly hours for the past 90 or 180 days without having to update the formula each week new hours are entered.
I recently added some command buttons to 6 excel files each with about 20 sheets. most of the sheets got 6 new buttons. After I added the buttons I would get memory errors when I treied to open other files. So I upgraded to Office 2003 and Excel 2003 because I read that it had increased memory available. It did not seem to help much, and now on average about evry say 10 minutes Excel hangs for about 1o seconds, sometimes saying "Not Responding" up the top. Then it starts working again. MY PC has Server 2003 and 1GHz and 512MB of Ram. Here is some info:
I have the following code which filters data in a sheet, and loads the numbers into textboxes on a userform. There are two multipage controls, each with several textboxes on them. I have commented out several lines because if I leave any of them in, it crashes excel.
It will work once. But if I close the workbook, re-open it, and run the code again, it crashes.
The thing I find really interesting is that all the 'problem lines' were added in as part of a retro-fit. The person I created this workbook for needed one more column of data. I followed the same programming pattern as what I used on the other, but only these ones seem to cause problems. Any thoughts?
NOTE: The message boxes were just to help me figure out which lines of code were causing the crash. ....
I'm trying to use a listbox and wanted to have the data sit in a different sheet. When I do this, I get a message about low memory and then excel says it has an error and shuts down. When I move the data to the same sheet as the listbox, there is no problem.
I'm using excel 2000 and that's all I can get (at work). Any thoughts? Should I just put the data on the same sheet and hide it? Is there a way around this?
It is a simple form which has a Module/Macro to load the form on clicking a shape. Although the form works fine for me it occasionally crashes for other user. The Debug says that there is an error in the Module with the line "frmCallData.Show". Below is the Code for the form and also the Module: ....
On one laptop Excel crashes, without warning. It happens during copy/paste job (from one workbook to another). But not every time she copies something.
It is completly the same laptop like others in my company. My user has deadlines, and lot of copy/paste job.
I wrote some VBA code detailed here. Is there any Excel Crash log I can look at? I have tested it on three computers. It worked on my computer just fine, but when testing it on the two other users of this spreadsheet it crashes when they click the mouse on a list box after about 5 to 10 clicks.
I have the following code that (should) either save the file with a generic name if a value exists in a certain field, or else save the file as the contents of the value in the field, with a message box appearing in either case. The problem is, the message box appears twice (not once) and then Excel crashes! Can anyone tell me what's going on? The code is:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) Dim FSR As String FSR = Range("I7").Value If FSR = "" Then MsgBox "Service Report Number not entered." ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="Service Report Navilas.xls" End If
If FSR "" Then MsgBox "This action will save the file as the Service Report Number." ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=FSR & ".xls" End If
As I've learned to develop Excel apps with vba over the years I've noticed that, if the Excel app starts to get too large (over 1MB) saving it will often cause the application to crash for no apparent reason - the result being that I lose all the vba code I entered before the last save - with the worst case being that, on occasion I have lost all of the vba code in an applications!!!
So, I've learned to back up often using a third-party utility that I use to save my applications, which works wonders in allowing me to save my application without it crashing. The application is called Code Cleaner 97.exe. It was designed around Excel 97 (which I still use) but if possible I'd like to get an updated version for Excel 2003 and Excel 2007, which I also use.
Does anyone know of a more recent version of this utility, or another similar utility that allows large Excel applications to be properly saved, etc?
Code Cleaner 97.exe was a freebie that was available through one of the old Compuserve Excel forums. It was a very popular utility and was suggested as a means to save one's Excel apps without the app getting trashed, etc.
I'm not expecting a freebie solution so I'll gladly pay for something that allows me to save my large Excel apps without them crashing, etc.
I have a column of data that is an 850,000+ list of phone numbers. I need to peridoically insert another 10,000+ at a time and see if there are duplicates. Using conditional formatting to highlight the duplicates with a colored cell, and then sorting those records to the top is what I want to do, but it's too much for Excel to handle, and it hangs. It looks like I need to break up the 850k records into smaller chunks. Anyone know what an average pc with Excel 07 can handle? It's a 2.8ghz w/2gb ram.
When I run a group of macros for some reason after the marcro runs and I hit F2 excel crashes.
I have figured out that it is one of the marcros that makes the excel crash. It is only when I run the solver application. The code is below. Any thoughts why hitting F2 after running this marcro would crash the machine?
I'm trying to close out excel through a user form (excel is hidden) button but excel crashes when it reaches the application.quit line of code.
I searched google and found one message that said that if you have add-ins that they can cause excel to crash when closing but there was no explanation or work around.
I have a very strange error at present. I am saving a sheet as a file using VBA from within Excel and when I run the program from the environment of my flash drive it works without a problem but when I run the same code on my main PC it causes an error :
Run time error 1004 Method SaveAs error ... and it causes Excel to crash and then recover the file.
I have created a macro in xl2000 which was working fine - although through corporate upgrades my machine has now been upgraded with xl2003 and the macro runs for a bit and then crashes on the code below, although it only highlights teh 'rnum'
rnum = ActiveCell.Row Is there a difference between xl2000 & xl2003?
I open Excel. I click Insert-> Comment. Excel crashes. I try to open an excel file with comments, Excel crashes. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled, Detected & Repaired. Nothing appears in the event viewer. I am at my wits end.
Any ideas on what this could be? My only guess is a windows issue vs. an excel issue, but I thought I'd at least ask.
I run a macro which runs saves the active file to a different location to ensure that I retain the original like so -
If ActiveWorkbook. Name = "KEY_DATA_CFT77" + ".xls" Then ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _ "H:HOME imcEXCELKEY_DATA_2006KEY_DATA_2006_01KEY_DATA_CFT77_01.xls", FileFormat:= _ xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False _ , CreateBackup:=False End If .................................
