Why Application.filesearch Doesnt Work?

The following code fragment Code:

With Application.FileSearch
   .LookIn = sample_folder
   .
   .
   .
End With


may be useful when inspecting the content of sample_folder. I did successfully use that code pattern many times in the past (under Office 2003) but now it fails to work (under Office 2007). Here is the error message which I get: Code:

Run-time error 445
Object doesn't support this action


Indeed, the Application.FileSearch property is not supported, but I can't figure why. Once again, this behaviour appeared after replacing MS Office 2003 with MS Office 2007.
The following items are checked under Tools -> References in my VBA setting:
1. Visual Basic For Application
2. Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library
3. OLE Animation
4. Microsoft Office 12.0 Object Library
Can anybody please explain me why Application.FileSearch property fails to work?
Thanks a lot in advance!

I am trying to insert a range of cell in the body of an outlook email with the same format. The code I am using now is below and it does insert anything in the email body.

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


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.


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

I'm trying to use VBA to go to a website that requires a User Name, Password, and a Submit Button.

So far I can get everything to work besides the Submit part. The code runs without errors, but doesn't actually "hit" the submit button on the webpage.

For posting, I removed my actual user name and password and and used the generic " User Name " and " Password " highlighted in blue.

I highlighted another section in green that I took from a previous post hoping it would solve my problem. The link is: http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/showthr...xplorer+submit


Here is the code I am using:

Sub GoToWebSiteAndPlayAroundNew()

Dim appIE As Object ' InternetExplorer.Application
Dim URL As String


Set appIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

With appIE
.navigate URL
.Visible = True

Do While .busy: DoEvents: Loop
Do While .ReadyState 4: DoEvents: Loop

.document.getelementbyid("fUserName").Value = " UserName "
.document.getelementbyid("fPassword").Value = " Password "

End With


On Error Resume Next
x = 0
For Each mitem In IE.document.all
mitem.Value = "x"
x = x + 1
Next

x = 0
For Each mitem In IE.document.all
If x = "Submit" Then
mitem.Click
Exit For
End If

Next

I did a bit of browsing on this problem. Found others suffering the same but haven't found any conclusive answer yet.

Every so often when I attempt to save a file, (including save as), Excel won'r let me. By won't let me I mean:

using Save doesn't appear to do anything using Save As doesn't either do anything, the dialog is not displayed and if I am doing via the File menu then the File menu is exited and the previous ribbon tab is displayed (i.ethe one I was on before clicking 'File') if I close the workbook I am prompted to save, close without saving or cancel. Clicking save just invokes the same msgbox again. I can't work out when it goes into this mode. Some days I can work without this problem, other days I encounter this 2 or 3 times.

The only thing I could suspect was I think this started around about the time I installed xlDennis' code library. I have uninstalled the addin and so far so good, but I cannot categorically say that this was the cause.

Anyone have any idea?

Cheers
Jon

Hi All,

I got the below macro which uses IE and open the URLs. I want to create a userform with listbox with radio button and commandbutton on the same which will help me to connect to each url when I select the same in listbox and click on the commandbutton.
Code:

Sub DoBrowse1()
    Dim ie As Object
    Set ie = CreateObject("Internetexplorer.Application")
    ie.Visible = True
    ie.Navigate "www.google.com"
End Sub


Any suggestions..


I have excel sheets that cross link with each other. I've just migrated to Office 2007. When I open my excel sheet I always get the question at the bottom of the tool bar Security Warning Data connections have been disabled. And then I have to click on option and enable content.

My question is, how do I always enable the content?

Thanx


Hello,

As the title goes this is as simple as it gets. The macro worked good when I was using excel 2003 but now that I have 2007 everything works for except the resizing (Picture.Width & Picture. Height).

Code:

Sub AddImage()
Dim strPath As String
Dim strFile As String
Dim Picture As Object
Dim Response As String
Dim C As Range
strPath = "C:\\Photos\"
 
For Each C In Range("A1", Range("A65536").End(xlUp))
    If C  0 Then
        With C.Offset(0, 1)
            Set Picture = Nothing
            On Error Resume Next
            Set Picture = Sheets("Raw Pix").Pictures.Insert(strPath & C.Value & ".jpg")
            Picture.Top = .Top
            Picture.Left = .Left
            Picture.LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
            Picture.Width = 157
            Picture.Height = 138

        
    End With
    End If
     
NextC:
Next C
End Sub


I have tried to record some macros while I am resizing the pictures but to no avail the macros are blank.

Please help

Thanks!


Hi all,

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?


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.


I have found similar posts on the forum, but nothing without use of a userform.

I have the following code:

Code:

 
Sub Development()
    Pass = InputBox("Please enter development password", "Password")
    If Pass = "XYZ" Then
        UnhideAll
    Else: MsgBox ("Password incorrect, please try again")
    End If
End Sub


This works, but I want to hide the text as it is entered.
Is there a way I can enter this as a property? i.e. inputbox.text.property = ... or something?? I've tried what seems intuitive, but nothing works.

Help!


Hello ,

Here is my issue:

I have a list of SKUs in Excel and I need to add one same word to 500 cells that have pre-existing text in the cells. See example below:

1) List of SKU's in cells:

34
35
39
55


2) text that needs to be added IN FRONT of every number:

DF

So the result would be:

DF34
DF35
DF39
etc.

How do I do that in a formula and not manually? I found another similar thread and I understand how to do it from the instructions there but the same text goes on the back and the result is: 34DF but I need it to be like: DF34.

I am using Office 2007 for mac.

Thank you for the help,
Chris


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

jim


Hi all,

I've had a long search through your pages to see if this question has been answered before but having browsed through about 50 pages worth of threads I couldn't see anything, but if I am repeating prior information I do apologise.

I've written a macro that is relatively simple. It just takes some information in one format, rearranges it, adds some formatting and performs some calculations. Nothing incredibly fancy but it works fine on my computer.

Now, I need to share this macro with some other people, so basically I've just sent that excel file on to the people that need to use it. Should be fine and in most cases it is, however there is one user who although they can open the file, can't seem to get the macro to run properly.

It seems to get a small way through the macro but then stop with no error messages or any sign that it hasn't completed properly.

I have checked Macro Security level and that is the same as mine, Tools - Add-Ins is the same, In Visual Basic, Tools - References is the same as mine. It is the same Operating system and the same version of Excel.

I have even signed into this person's computer as myself (it's a big company network thing) and tried to run the macro and it works fine, so there is nothing wrong with the hardware.

I've googled and searched and tried everything I can think of but I'm no closer to solving this problem, so if anyone has read through this wall of text and can come up with a possible solution, that would be greatly appreciated to save me from tearing ALL my hair out!

Thanks very much for your time.


Suddenly, I lost the ability to use copy and paste by right clicking my
mouse. Using Office 2000. Can you help? Thank you!!!



We have a number of Excel users in our office who cannot copy and paste
between Excel workbooks. They can copy and paste between worksheets. When
you highlight the section to copy and then go to the new workbook both the
paste
and paste special are "grayed out". This is true whether you right-click the
mouse, go to the edit menu, or use control keys. This occurs with any data
type and the most simple workbooks. I have seen some suggestions here but
none have worked for this particular problem. I have reset the menus and
renamed the .xlb files and neither helps. You can open the clipboard and the
paste will work, but there is no paste special option. Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks!




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.


I automating a task at work that will save some time. Seems simple enough but for some reason the code I have to cause IE to wait unil ready doesnt seem to work in all cases.

Im using :

'wait until the page loads
Do While ie.Busy Or ie.readyState READYSTATE_COMPLETE
DoEvents
Loop

This doesnt seem to work well enough, since actions are occuring that should NOT occur until the browser is ready.

Any other ideas as to how to make IE wait until the page is completely ready? I wondered about possibly checking the .innerHTML to verify that a unique page element is present.


Thanks,

Scott
