Check If Table Exists Before Trying To Delete

Hi all

I've got a piece of code I inherited that deletes some tables from a database before importing updated versions (I'm trying to get an append query to work but I'm struggling with the downloads).

At the moment it uses an on error event to just continue regardless but I'd like to make it a bit tidier.

This is the code I have:-
Code:

    On Error Resume Next
    DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "ext_Activities"
    DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "ext_HTs"
    DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "ext_Clients"
    DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "ext_Assessments"
    DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "ext_Contacts"
    DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "ext_Wellbeing"
    DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "ext_PHPGoals"
    DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "ext_PostAssessments"
    DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "ext_Reviews"
    DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "ext_Maintenance"
    DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "ext_Deprived"


What I would like to do is test for the existense of each table in turn before doing the delete and remove the on error event completely.

I'll admit to the fact that my Access VBA knowledge is next to nil so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I'd like help in creating a macro that deletes an entire row that has emtpy cells in col B, C & D in the same row.
So for example if I have empty cells in b3,c3 & d3 I'd like the row deleted.

I've used the code below for just column B but I need to include column C & D as well. I tried putting Columns("B:D") but it deletes everything.

Code:

Sub Step4()
   On Error Resume Next
   Columns("B:B").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).EntireRow.Delete
End Sub


I'm sure it's something simple... like me !

Any help much appreciated

Hi All,

I have the below code which deletes all items from a listbox and my excel sheet which is the source for populating that listbox. I am using a option button style for my listbox and the selection style as single .i.e. you can select only one item at one go in the lisbox. I want my macro to delete the selected item from my worksheet .i.e. it's entire row so that it doesn't reflect in my lisbox any more. Below is my code :

Code:

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
 'REMOVE SELECTION
 
  Dim I As Long
 
    With ListBox1
      For I = .ListCount - 1 To 0 Step -1
       If .Selected(I) Then
           .RemoveItem I
           Sheets("URL List").Rows(I + 2).EntireRow.Delete
           
        End If
      Next I
    
End With

End Sub


Thanks a lot for your help in advance.


Hi all,

I have written some code that when a button is selected will Refresh a Data Query Table and all of it's information. However, I seem to be getting issues, can some one point me in the right direction with the code?

Code:

 
.Sheets("Sheet 1").ListObject.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False


When I recorded myslef doing this process it looked like this:

Code:

 
Sheets("Sheet 1").Select
Range("D70872").Select
Selection.ListObject.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False


Many thanks!


I have a large spreadsheet in Excel 2007. I am converting it to a .csv file to import in to another program. I need to delete all commas from all data.

When I try to replace all commas (with nothing or with another character), I get the error message "The formula you typed contains an error."

I have tried various formats (text, general, etc.) and various file types (.xls,.xlsx, .csv) and still get the same error.


Thought I'd append my experience of the above problem - you can find all sorts of references to it everywhere.

My problem was that a userform defined with Excel at work (containing DT pickers) gave the message in the title when opening it at home. I had a light-bulb moment and wondered whether there was a difference in the version numbers for MSCOMCT2.OCX at work and at home. Turned out the work version was newer. I then copied the MSCOMCT2.* files from work, made a backup of them at home and copied those from work to my C-drive (Windows XP - c:\windows\system32\ ).

No luck. I then rebooted the machine - still no luck.
Then, finally I unregistered the old DLL via
Code:

regsvr32 /u c:\windows\system32\MSCOMCT2.OCX


(not sure if this was necessary, but I didn't think it could hurt). Reregistered the DLL via
Code:

regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\MSCOMCT2.OCX


and what do you know - it worked.

Summa summarum - it could be an idea to check whether the two machines have different version numbers for the MSCOMCT2.OCX files.


Hi Professionals,

I have just tried running the following code

Code:

Dim ws As Worksheet

For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
With ws
If .FilterMode Then .ShowAllData
End With
Next ws


in the hope that it might 'unfilter' my table but it literally doesn't do a thing!

My table is called Activity_Table

Can you provide me with something that will 'unfilter' my table if it is filtered on any or all 6 columns?

Help appreciated,

Dominic


I'm trying to open a pdf file from within excel vba. I have tried using the followhyperlink method but adobe acrobat opens very briefly then immediately closes Code:

Sub OpenPDF()

'Dim pdf As String

    On Error Resume Next

    'pdf file to open
    pdf = "K:\PDF\mypdf.pdf"

    'open the pdf file
    ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink pdf

End Sub


So then I tried to create an instance of acrobat by setting a reference to the acrobat object but I can't get this to work either!

The code I'm using is Code:

Sub OpenPDF()

    Dim pdf As AcroPDDoc
    Dim strPDF As String

    Set pdf = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    
    'pdf file to open
    strPDF = "K:\PDF\mypdf.pdf"

    'open the pdf file
    pdf.Open strPDF

End Sub


Any ideas what could be wrong with either approach?

Thank-you


Hi,

This is a very basic question, but i have been struggling for hours, so I must ask.

I I trying to simply fill a combobox on a userform from a named range on a sheet, I want to populate the combobox as soon as the userform starts. (I launch the userform from a button on the sheet) Where must I place the code? and will this code work?
Code:

Sub Button1_Click()
Set UserForm1.combobox1.List = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("MyRange")
UserForm1.Show
End Sub


I am very new to vba, so please excuse my ignorance,
any help would be greatly appreciated

Still learning VBA - I am trying to delete an entire row based on a condition in one cell in the row. Typically I would just filter on that value and delete the rows, but I am not sure if that is a possibility in VBA code. Can you provide the code if not too complex.

Select Cell A1 if value is 100 delete entire row, else skip to next row. Then loop through each row in the spreadsheet till all rows with selected cell equal to 100 are deleted.


Hi,
I need the necessity do delete a sequence of sheets in my workbook.
If I use this code:

With ActiveWorkbook
If .Worksheets.Count >= 5 Then
For n = 5 To .Worksheets.Count
Worksheets(n).Delete
Next n
End If
End With

I receive a confirmation message box with this message:

"Data may exist in the sheet(s) selected for deletion. To permanently delete the data, press Delete" [DELETE] [CANCEL]

I wish to delete all sheets without receiving any message.

Is it possible?

Many thanks in advance for your kind support.

Regards,

Giovanni


Hello,

i've got the following problem:

I want users to double-click on a row on a protected sheet and then do some code based on the row-number of the clicked cell. I've protected the sheet because it contains a lot of formula's.

When a user double-clicks a row it triggers the code through the Workbook_SheetBeforeDoubleClick event.
After the code is executed Excel shows a message that the cell that was clicked was protected etc etc.

How can I prevent this message from popping up?

I've already tried
Code:

application.displaywarnings = false


but that didn't work

Thanks


Hi there,

I have a piece of code called ConvertDates that formats data contained on 6 worksheets. The 6 data sheets all contain a data connection to a website of foreign exchange tables.

What I want is for my code to execute as soon as the data connection refresh has finished.

When I use the statement

Code:

ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll
Application.Run "Project1.xlsm!ConvertDates"


The code executes the macro whilst the refresh is still happening, thereby screwing up my results. I don't really want to use a timed wait, because the refresh speed is going to vary from user to user.

Is there some way I can tell excel to wait till the refresh has finished and then execute the code?

Any help would be hugely appreciated.


Thought I'd start this topic since there seem to be a number of topics where the answer seems to be to use one of the above rather than other. Thought I'd kick off with my 2 cents' worth.

I have a userform with frames containing textboxes. The user enters a currency value and once they leave the control, then a protected textbox next to it shows the corresponding value in SEK. I started off using the exit event but ran into 2 problems.

If you tabbed out of the last textbox in the frame, the exit event never kicked in (this is documented in other topics but took some time to find). This resulted in me using the exit event for all except the last textbox in the frame that used afterupdate instead I then discovered that the exit events didn't kick in if, instead of tabbing out of the field, I deliberately placed focus in a control elsewhere on the form. Changing the event from exit to afterupdate corrected this. My question then is ... could you guys document in this topic when you would/must use the exit rather than the afterupdate event (or vice-versa).

Thanks

I am trying to use the following Access VB code to rename all the files from *.aqi in a directory to *.csv:

Code:

Sub test()
Name "C:\myfolder\*.aqi" As "C:\myfolder\*.csv"
End Sub


The problem is that VBA does not accept wild cards (at least as given here).

Any suggestions?

Thanks

In Excel there is a difference between cells that are blank (= "") and that are empty. You can make blank cells empty by selecting them and pressing the delete key, but I need a fast way to do this on all blank cells in a large worksheet. The only way I have found is with a VBA macro that loops through every cell, tests for '.Value = "" ' and then uses the '.Clear()' function, but doing this on 30 columns x 10000 rows is far too slow. Any solutions?

(The reason I need to do this is for importing into Access, the database treats empty cells as NULL which is what I want. Blank (but not empty) cells screw the import process up.)


Is there an on error exit sub command. I would like my Macro to just stop running if there is an error instead of an error message popping up. Thanks in advance


I'm using some basic code below in an on Workbook Open event to format cells with a value less then 2 and less than 1 with a particular color.

The code works, but it really slows my worksheet down when opening. Is there better way to write this? Thanks!

Code:

 
Dim myRange As Range
Dim cell As Range
Set myRange = Range("V6:V50000")
    For Each cell In myRange
    If cell.Value < 2 Then cell.Font.ColorIndex = 5
    If cell.Value < 1 Then cell.Font.ColorIndex = 3
    Next





Hi,

I am using

ActiveSheet.ShowAllData

in a piece of VBA and it causes an error if the sheet does not have a filter applied! Is there an if statement I can use to check if the data is filtered?

Thanks - this site is an absolute life saver!
