Kill CurrentProject.Path & "\" & "DUA Export Binder And Lineslip.xls"
But I want to check to see if it exists first, if it does Kill it if not then the code will create it.

I need to create a method of going down column b, and looking at the value in column A, and seeing if it exists in a table I have on another sheet. If Value A exists, then I want ColB to say yes or no.
It seems like it should be so simple, but its killing me!
All of the buttons were working fine. Then I saved and closed the workbook and went to lunch. Now when I open the workbook, the buttons don't work! When I click them nothing happens. They appear frozen. They don't even seem to click. No error message. Nothing.
If I right-click the button in Design Mode and select Properties, I get sheet properties not the button properties. I can't seem to locate the command button properties any longer. I still see the button name "cmdButtonGetInfo" and "=EMBED("Forms.CommandButton.1","") in the name box and formula bar. The odd thing is if I create a new button it works fine until I save and close the file. When I reopen the file none of the buttons work.
It's like the buttons are being disabled when I close or open the file. Any suggestions?
How do I find out what the current User's desktop folder path is each time the Marco is run by a different User?
Example User's path: 'C:\Documents and Settings\jfarc\Desktop'
Where 'jfarc' is the name of the current User which, will of course change with every different User that runs the Macro.
Also, is there a way to pull out of Excel what is the current User's 'Options | General | Default File Location' entry? Which may differ from the above directory.
I am familiar with and use the following coding for Opening/Saving files to the current directory of the opened workbook, but it only gives the path of the existing Excel workbook and not the current User's Directory Path:
Dim wbThis As Workbook
Set wbThis = ThisWorkbook
ChDir wbThis.Path
Coffee hasn't hit my brain yet this morning and I cant figure this one out.
I have a list of names that are in the following format:
LastName Suffix, FirstName MI
The middle initial is not always present, neither is the suffix. For simplicity purposes, we will assume the suffix can ONLY be "Jr."
Here is some sample data:
Brown Jr., Wayne
Fowler, Michael
Parker, David A
Winstead Jr., Johnny N
I want the output to be the following:
Brown, Wayne
Fowler, Michael
Parker, David
Winstead, Johnny
Thanks in advance for the help!
PS (if i can get a formula that at least gets rid of the middle initial at the end (if it exists), then that would be a HUGE step in the right direction, as the Jr. only occurs on maybe 3% of my data. The middle initial is in about 80% of the data.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Does anyone know of a way to unhide this macro?
Thanks!
I've been getting this error on occasion recently.
- It's a shared document
- There is usually 10-12 people using the file at the same time
I've read on the Microsoft Help site that the issue is that somebody is accessing the file while another is trying to open it.
Is there a way, perhaps through VBA, that I can not allow a user to save while somebody else is opening the document? Other suggestions on how to avoid this error?
Thanks!
Basically I want to export data from excel worksheets to various places on a word document I had. I have created a word template as well as bookmarks for that template, as that seems to be the recommendation for performing such a task with excel.
My problem is ... Now what?
I basically have 1 constant worksheet that contains all my affiliates info (Name, Address etc), which i'd like to use to populate some bookmarks in my word template, and then i have another worksheet for the previous month, indicating sales etc for that affiliate. I intend on adding a new worksheet every month that i would use to create new invoices.
Furthermore, i'd really like to be able to update a new file (or perhaps a new page on the same file) for each company with the use of a button, similar to the one's you'd see in an access form.
Can anyone help? Let me know if you need me to clarify.
Thanks!

Am in need for this solution very badly and what could be a better place than excelforum !
I have an MS Excel File (2007 version) sample file attached, which has name, designation, blood group and so on. The last column is for hyperlinking photographs of individuals.
In the same folder where I have saved this excel file, are lying photographs of individuals. While scanning the photographs, I have saved them serially i.e. 1,2,3 and so on.
In the Excel file, in last column, I have given the respective serial numbers. In order to hyperlink one has to select that particular Cell, press Ctrl K and you automatically go to the folder containing individual photographs, you select that photo and OK.
Problem :
I have to do this hyperlinking one by one and if there 1000 photos, lot of time is wasted.
Solution Needed :
Just in case of excel formula, which we copy and paste, Can I get a command by virtue of which the column titled Photo or column next to it gets automatically Hyperlinked to respective photo WHEN I copy and paste such command to all cells in that column.
Thanks a million and warm regards ::: Jack
The following code is placed in workbook 'A' and is used to open workbook 'B'. These workbooks will now always be housed in the same directory and i want to change the code to use a relative path reference by determining the path of workbook 'A'. here's what I had:
Sub income_statement()
Application.WindowState = xlMaximized
Application.Workbooks.Open "C:\Documents and Settings\.....\workbook B.xls", UpdateLinks:=xlUpdateLinksAlways
End Sub
could you suggest how to change this to use a relative path reference?
We have checked to make sure that the workbook and worksheet:
1. Are not protected
2. That there are no hidden worksheets
3. That there are not worksheets that exist with the same name
4. That not all the worksheets are selected
There are only two worksheets in this workbook.
Any ideas of why we are unable to make a copy of this worksheet within the same workbook or to another workbook?
Code:
Windows("File.xls").Activate
But what if the File.xls was a variable named File?
I have tried this:
Code:
Windows(File).Activate
Without success. Please advise.
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
Found the following code and it gets me close, but it copies the cell references, not the values. It also allows me to specify the file name from a cell reference.
I want the new workbook file to simply be saved, not opened, and a message box to display stating where the file was saved (will always be in the same location on the LAN).
What modifications do I make to this to get this to work per above requirements?
Sub CopyMe()
Dim SaveMeAs As String
SaveMeAs = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B2").Text
Sheets("Sheet3").Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\My Documents\" & SaveMeAs
End Sub
eliminate from the sheet the filtered-out rows. So when I refilter the sheet
with new items to get rid of, the old filtered items come back. I've tried
copying the range to another file, but I always get all the old data in the
new file.
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.
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.

Giovanni
But I did so in a beta file (test file). The real file has become so big (103MB!) that Excel cannot even open it anymore! The file contains archive info that we do not have anywhere else.
Is there anyway then to open the file or to reduce its size without opening it (through magics...)? I just honestly don't know how to retrieve that info before deleting that file.
Thank you very much for your help.
When I try to paste the finished result into notepad/textpad/word it adds extra double quote marks throughout the text. Does anyone know how to paste it without these marks?
Thanks!
I have made an excel file where other people have to go in and update it. This process takes 2 secs but some people forget and stay in it over lunch etc causing a great annoyance.
Is there anyway I can "kick" them out my file? Im not concerned if they lose any data they've entered as I'm sure this will help them get the message to get out the file quicker..
Its really doing my head in... pls help
