VB Runtime Error 1004 - Excel File - Save ?
May 27, 2008
Here are some important facts:
This code works (no Error 1004 on numerous laptops and desktops) A couple of months ago it began to fail (Error 1004 reared it's ugly head) on a couple of machines. The users claim that nothing changed - I can neither confirm nor deny accuracy of these claims. All users, except one, are running Windows XP and Office 2003. The problem also surfaced on a new machine running Windows XP and Office 2007. I could not force the error on my development/test machine - Windows XP with Offic 2003. It fails every time on another machine I have running Vista with Office 2007
The following is the code that causes me the problem. I know the error is raised on the WB.Save statement. I added the error trap to eliminate the problem of the Excel file being unaccessable without a reboot, due to the fact that Windows thought Excel still had it open.

I have an Excel file with utilizes macros to allow a user to enter names of people and then double click on cells to enter ratings via radio buttons. When I open a blank file and enable the macros, I can add users, rate their skills using the radio buttons, etc. with no issue. I then SaveAs the file and continue working on it. once I Save and CLOSE the file, then go to re-open it, the trouble begins. Keep in mind, there is no alteration to the macros directly. Just entering data and using the form as intended. Here's what happens.
I reopen the file.I enter in the name of a person on one line. I go to the first box - double click on it.It is supposed to pop up a dialog box which allows me to choose a rating via radio button (as I had been doing before I closed the file). Instead, in that first column of ratings, it instead gives me the following error:
Runtime error '1004'Unable to set the LineStyle property of the Border class
When I hit "debug" this is the code it points to:
If ActiveCell.Column = leftb Then Range(Cells(ActiveCell.Row, leftb), Cells(ActiveCell.Row, rightb + 1)).Borders(xlEdgeTop).LineStyle = xlContinuous I have no idea why this would not work when I re-open the file!
note that when I go to click on the subsequent cells (there are 8 cells in which you provide ratings, moving across the columns with each cell) - the 2nd through 8th cells function fine. The dialog box pops up, the rating can be selected. it's just the FIRST cell that gives the issue What would possibly be the cause of this? We need users of this form to be able to save, close, and re-open it if needed.

Our small business uses a VB project to 'process' information in excel workbooks. The project works on all machines except one (a new one) which generates a "Runtime Error 9".

I am writing a WinForm app on Visual Studio .Net 2005 which will be a rudimentary "unit tester" for various MS Excel 2003 applications...basically, it will ensure the integrity of the VBA code which fires off in the event lifecycle of the workbook.As a test for a "unit test failure," I created a simple workbook which generates a runtime error at the Workbook_Open event in the VBA code (an intentionally placed out-of-index call to an array). I have no problem opening workbooks via the .Net WinForm using the Excel Object library. My problem is that the run-time error is not captured by the WinForm app -- instead, it throws the runtime error directly on the Excel thread which the WinForm app starts.Is there a way for the WinForm app leveraging office interop to catch that excel runtime exception?
I've tried encasing the call in a Try-Catch block using a general Exception a COMException (via the System.Runtime.InteropServices library) catch...I've also tried instantiating the workbook directly using CreateObject(sPath) and instantiating an Excel Application, then using that to open the workbook...all with the same results...instead of the .Net app catching the exception, the runtime error bubbles up directly to the Excel application.Is there any way, either on .Net or the VBA code, for the WinForm app to catch and handle an Excel run-time error?

In my office they installed Office 2007, since then I am having several problems with my macros / VB script routines, in this occasion I am trying to use the FileSystemObject.CopyFile function to copy several files from one directory to several directories depending on the files code.Based on the file's code I build the destination path and then I try to copy my files from the original path to destination path, but when executing this sentence I receive an error message that says "Run-time error '424' Object not fund".

I'm struggling to think of a reason why I should be getting an 'Access denied' error when trying to save an Excel document opened through a program written in VB 2010 Express. The program is essentially glorified Excel automation. It converts information from hundreds of Excel documents into a few small text files in order to improve operation speed. The software is designed for use by no more than a dozen or so people in the office who are all editing these Excel documents (through the software), and saving changes. They edit a given document by selecting it in a list in the main form, which then changes the document to writeable and opens it for them. A FileSystemWatcher detects changes in the folder containing the Excel documents so that the aforementioned text files can be updated when the user saves the Excel document.

I need to create a dotNet saveAs dialog, but I need to populate the file formats in the dialog. After the person have selected a file, it must connect that to a file format that I populate into the SaveAs command in the Excel Interop. After the Interop SaveAs command, I must check if the file have been saved correctly.

I have created a dll using class library project in Visual Studio 2010. I want to access this dll in Excel using declare statement. I have declared my dll entry function with "public shared".
While executing my routine in excel VBA i receive a runtime error "Runtime error:453 cannot find dllentrypoint" I have never created a vb dll, so forgive me if I'm wrong. I am thinking that "shared" declaration isnt sufficient and should use a def file like with C/C++ dlls. I couldnt find the linker option in properties.

I have a database file that excel reads just fine but i can't figure out what type of file it is. So i figure the easiest thing to do is open the file in vb.net via an excel object, then execute the save as i have seen 1000 examples but even after i think i add a reference vb still has no idea what "excel." is.[code]

I'm trying to import data from an Excel file into SQL server. However, the Excel file's format is not recognized by SQL Server. In fact, when I open it and try to save it, I get the following message:<filename> cannot be saved in the current format. To save your changes, click OK, then save it as the latest format.When I do that manually, it puts it in a usable format. However, the automated process I'm trying to build can't save it without intervention. When the VB in my SSIS process gets to it it brings up a save window, and I have to click the "Save" button and then the "Yes" button to replace the existing file. I'd strongly prefer to have this automated. I've have tried using the SendKeys.Send("{ENTER}") code, but it brings up this message:SendKeys cannot run inside this application because the application is not handling Windows messages. Either change the application to handle messages, or use the SendKeys.SendWait method.I've tried SendWait, but it just seems to hang. I don't know how to change the application to handle error messages. I have also tried saving the Excel file as a new file with my VB code. However, as a new xls, xlsx, and csv file it still wasn't recognized by the import. I've only had success when manually saving it. In the SaveAs code I have been using, I'm only using the FileName parameter. I can't get any FileFormats to work or be recognized. Note, though, I'm opening the app and worksheet as Object variables. I can't add the Excel component in the Add Refrence area because only the .NET tab is there. I don't have a COM tab. I haven't asked if/how to get access to it, though.
