I made a simple vb program with vb 2011 express. I want with a simple button click to open a prototype Powerpoint presentation and running in background a batch file.So far,so good... I want to do a third step. Into the "test.ppt" i have already made a macro with vba and i want to execute the macro.

I'm have a program (GUI) that interfaces with excel to execute macros. We're using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel to call/run the macros and this works great.What I can't figure out is a good way to cancel the macros from the GUI.One idea we had was to use the excel.application variable that runs the macros to write a "stop" value to a specific cell in the workbook, and in the macros (they are all mostly loops), check for the "stop" value in that cell. This crashes my GUI with this The program '[2188] BVLReports.vshost.exe: Managed' has exited with code -336589910 (0xebf00baa).And excel gets tied up, and won't respond. I know how to Exit Sub from within the macro if the "stop" value exists, so I don't need answers on how to check/cancel from inside the macro. Any ideas on a better way to write this "stop" value or a better way to cancel the macros externally?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to get a macro convert from VBA over to vb.net and I am getting a type mismatched error and can't figure it out.
This is the code.
Sub SortRawData()
Dim oSheet As Excel.Worksheet

I wrote a UDF to enable users to run Macro`s in excel here is the function below
Private Sub RunExcelMacros(ByVal Path As String, ByVal MacroName As String)
Dim oExcel As Excel.Application
Dim oBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim oBooks As Excel.Workbooks
[code].....
And to use it just call the udf with the 2 parameters like below
RunExcelMacros("c:MyExcelBook.xls", "TheNetMacro")
just remember that you have to have an excel sheet with a macro named TheNetMacro or any other name you want to give it.

View 1 RepliesI need to make a difficult makro.When the makro has been activated (will happen via a button), it has to add a header and a footer to the document.Also page1/frontpage needs a different header and footer than all the other potential pages.So far, I have accomplished making page1/frontpage to work - somewhat.I did this by recording a makro, where I'd enable headers and footers, write the needed data and then stop recording.Afterwards I edited the coding so it would fit a little better. Mostly it was junk-code cleanup.

View 5 RepliesI call an Access macro from vb.net like so: Acc.DoCmd.RunMacro("Macro1")
The Macro in Access has many OpenQuerys and Msgbox with a message saying "data done" at the end.
When I execute the macro from vb.net, it shows the data done message and then done. However, when I analyse the table's to see if data has been appended, it hasen't.When I run the same macro from within Access, it works fine. It does show many messages like "You are about to run an append query that will modify data in your query" and I hit yes and does take slightly longer, but it does do it. In VB.NET, the only message I get is the final messagebox.

In my Sheet1, i will be having a data From column A to F and in Colunm D (The Red one) it will be empty, The data can be 10 rows or might be more the 60 rows sometimes and in Column I i will have some more Data.
Now i need a macro where in sheet 2, Automatically the Lines from Column A to F should get pasted and it shlould take the Column D from column I. Once the Total line are pasted the it should go for next list of Column I.
Exm: IF i have 50 lines in Column F and in Column I i have 5 lines Then i should get the result of (50x5=250 lines) 250 lines each of 50 as per Column I.
I'm creating a macro in excel using vb?What the macro is doing is checking if the row and column headers are same, and if it is then I want it to save the row header (the date in this case) AND the value (a number) into an array, and this is done in a for loop and goes on.... I dont know if I should use 2-D array or a 1-D array that stores 2 values....Not sure at all !Then after the outer most FOR LOOP is done, I want to print those values stored in the array.
Here is what I have so far, this works actually however i'm using 2 seperate arrays, one to store the row header (the date) and another array to store the value. But really I want to make it simpler, shorter and use only one array that stores both of these values as we go through the for loop and at the end of the for loop, all the values from beginning which are stored can be printed out.
Here is my code :
Sub Test ()
Dim sys_arr() As String ' declaring the array to store the values
Dim sys_date_arr() As String 'declaring the array to store the dates
[code]....
This totally works but with 2 different arrays, all I want is just 1 single array (not sure if it is 2-dimensions or still stays as 1 dimension but with 2 different variables)... and then the array can store the date and variable correspondant to the date, and goes to the next row, and do same thing... So the output results should be like for eg :
2/12/2010 37
2/13/2010 41
2/14/2010 66
and so forth

When I try to access the Macro IDE or open MyMacros I get the error: Vsaenv: Cannot find one or more components. reinstall the application. I have reinstalled (rebuild in place) VS2010 Pro - didn't help.
After the error the IDE goes away for a while and sometimes crashes and sometimes it returns to the code IDE. If I try again as often as not VS crashes hard. On reload it looks like it is going through rebuilding settings.
I have seen a few programs one in particular, that runs like a macro but it doesn't take over/control your mouse. Instead it uses a secondary, what you could call virtual mouse. It constrains the mouse to the form and then uses this 'secondary' mouse to run the macro without controlling your other mouse. This way you can browser the internet, or whatever else without being disturbed by the running macro.
Does anyone know what this is called? May someone please give me a tutorial on how to use it,
I already know how to check what buttons/mouse event have been issued by the user. What I need to know is how to reissue those commands at the same intervals. Reissuing the commands is easy to do, but issuing them at the same intervals as I have done? Not so easy for me.
So let's just say I press LMB one minute after I press a button that starts recording what I've done, then RMB 15 seconds later, if I wanted to click Playback and it would do these actions at the same time that I did them after pressing Record, how would I make the program issue the commands at those specific times?
I have a message box as follows:
MsgBox "This will delete all staff data and re-import data from the HR file. Are you sure you want to continue?", 36
which will give Yes and No buttons. I want the macro to continue if the user clicks Yes, and to stop if the users clicks No. I know this is probably very simple, but I'm just a humble accountant trying to teach myself some basic VB :)
I have created a project in VB2005, and I am using ms access 2003 as the database. I have created a report in ms access and I have also created a macro. I have added the following code to open the macro, but when i click on the button to call the procedure I get the following message:
Dim Adb As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.Application()
Adb.OpenCurrentDatabase("C:program filesSupport DeskAccessdatabase.mdb")
Adb.DoCmd.RunMacro("Macro2")
When I run the code, and I call the procedure to call the Macro, nothing happends, I don't get an error or anything, what a my missing? The macro does exist.
What is missing is a way that when I give a print click on the quantity of copies informed skirt with sequential numbers without repetitionex.: 10001, 10002, 10003

I created a toggle button and assigned this macro to it. However on the first click of the button, it only executes the first half of the macro--highlighting the requested cells yellow. Yet, when I click the button again, it does not turn the cells back to the un-highlighted state. From querying the web, most examples use the If-Then-Else.This is a macro that I got off the web and it works beautifully (and simply written):
Sub ToggleHideRows()
For Each cell In ActiveSheet.Range("H:H")
If cell.Value = "X" _[code].....
I was trying to write the first macro to act in quite the same manner as the second macro. Also, with the first macro I would like to add "cell.Offset(0, -7)" along with "cell.Offset(0, 2)".

Oasically outlook express now uses windows search to keep a count of emails sent. Whenever you get to 100 it forces you to manually compact them.
There is however a counter in the windows registry which can simply be set back to zero. I was wondering if i could create a macro that would load on windows startup that would reset the counter automatically in the registry whenever it got past say 75.
I'm working in Visual Studio 2008 and I would like for Edit > Outlining > Collapse to Definitions to be run whenever I open a file. It would be nice if, after that, all regions were expanded. I tried the code that Kyralessa offered in a comment on The Problem with Code Folding, and that works very nicely as a macro that I have to run manually. I tried to expand this macro to act as an event by placing the following code in the EnvironmentEvents module in the Macro IDE:
Public Sub documentEvents_DocumentOpened(ByVal Document As EnvDTE.Document) Handles DocumentEvents.DocumentOpened
Document.DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.CollapsetoDefinitions")
[Code]....
However, this does not seem to do anything when I open a file from my Solution in VS. To test that the macro was getting run, I put a MsgBox() statement in that subroutine and noticed that code before Document.DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.CollapsetoDefinitions") ran fine, but nothing seemed to get hit after that line. When I debugged and set a breakpoint within the subroutine, I would hit F10 to continue to the next line and control would leave the subroutine as soon as that ExecuteCommand line ran. Despite this, that line seems to do nothing, i.e. it doesn't collapse the outlining.
I also tried using just DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.CollapsetoDefinitions") within the subroutine but with no luck.
This question tries to obtain the same end result as this one, but I'm asking about what I might be doing wrong in my event-handling macro.
I have an Excel user form which uses a common dialog box to allow the user to choose a specific spreadsheet.

View 1 RepliesI have a spreadsheet with Proj Numbers: "049410-001" in column B6:B60. I have the URL to the Database: I want the links to show up in the A column with the Tag being the Proj Number "049410-001".
Also, if I could clear the A column and use it "A column" to enter the Proj Numbers and then run the Macro to enable the Hyperlinks I could eleminate the Proj number taking up 2 columns. I have 80 rows set aside for projects so it needs to go through and enable the links that have text in them.
i used =HYPERLINK(E24,B105) (E24 was another wasted cell that combined the static first part of the link, and the proj) as the formula way to do it, but I'm trying to make a Macro that does it behind the scene. but I am just getting into VBA, and I have no idea what i'm looking at when I look at a code.
