I've developed a small ticketing system on excel VBA
The Save button will take all data from textboxes and radio button and add it to the row number 7 (in this case)
But when I press upload I can't add the link to the label of attachments
How to add link to the attachment label using (upload file ) button
And also save the Link value stored in upload file button to use it later in clear button and save button?
I'm confused to work with private sub and private dim variables.
I'm newbie in VBA please help
User Form of the System
Save Button Code
Upload button code
Public Sub btnAttachment_Click()
'To upload file link format is png, jpeg, PDF or All files'
Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim LinksList As Range
Dim lastRowLink As Long
Dim LinkAttached As Long
Set wks = ActiveSheet
Set LinksList = Range("N1")
'declare last row to insert link to
lastRowLink = WorksheetFunction.CountA(Sheets("Tickets").Range("A:A"))
Sheets("Tickets").Cells(lastRow + 1, 11).Value = LinkAttached
ChDrive "C:\"
ChDir "C:\"
Filt = "PNG Files(*.png),*.png ," & _
"Jpeg Files(*.jpeg),*.jpg ," & _
"PDF Files (*.pdf),*.pdf ," & _
"All Files (*.*),*.*"
FilterIndex = 1
Title = "Select a File to Hyperlink"
Filename = Application.GetOpenFilename _
(FileFilter:=Filt, _
FilterIndex:=FilterIndex, _
Title:=Title)
If Filename <> False Then
wks.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=LinksList, _
Address:=Filename, _
TextToDisplay:=Filename
Else
MsgBox "No file was selected.", vbCritical, "Loading Error"
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub

I want to add a file to Excel, mostly Outlook mail, but I want to limit their size of the icon.
If created from file (Outlook mail), the file is large due to the length of the file name.
If displayed as icon only it is ok, but when I save the document, the file resumes its original appearance (icon and name).
Satisfactory solutions:
importing the file and displaying it as an icon only, but so that it doesn't change after saving;
removal of the title - the icon itself would remain;
inserting another icon (shape) that would be a link to the inserted file
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim FileToOpen As Variant
Dim OtherFormat As String
Dim objInserted As Object
Dim rngSize As Range
Dim sh As Worksheet
OtherFormat = "packager.dll"
Set sh = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Szacowania")
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("G16:G100")) Is Nothing Then
Dim cel As Range
For Each cel In Target
With cel
'kolumna H - Analiza
If Target.Column = 7 Then
FileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename(Title:="Browse for your File & Import Range", FileFilter:="All Files (*.*),*.*")
sh.Range("G" & Target.row).Select
If FileToOpen <> False Then
activesheet.OLEObjects.Add( _
Filename:=FileToOpen, _
Link:=False, _
IconFileName:=OtherFormat, _
DisplayAsIcon:=True, _
IconIndex:=0, _
IconLabel:=FileToOpen). _
Select
End If
End If
End With
Next
End If
End Sub
I've been stuck on this for some time now, help would be greatly appreciated.
I've got this concept working when the workbook is closed, but all it does is save to the location specified. Now, I would like to adapt it so once a button is pressed, it will ask the user to save to a location, then once saved, excel will save it to another location of my choosing.
I keep getting an error message "Argument not optional" when the button is pressed.
Thank you.
Private Sub Save(Cancel As Boolean)
NameOfWorkbook = Left(ThisWorkbook.Name, (InStrRev(ThisWorkbook.Name, ".", -1, vbTextCompare) - 1))
Dim varResult As Variant
'displays the save file dialog
varResult = Application.GetSaveAsFilename
'checks to make sure the user hasn't canceled the dialog
If varResult <> False Then
Cells(2, 1) = varResult
MyMsg = NameOfWorkbook + " " & "saved to return note folder"
MsgBox MyMsg
'Create and assign variables
Dim saveLocation As String
saveLocation = "S:\Office information\Returns\Return Notes\" + NameOfWorkbook
'Save Active Sheet(s) as PDF
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, _

End If
End Sub
You dont use the sub argument so, as Siddharth pointed out, you should correct Private Sub Save().
Furthermore, Save is a reserved word in excel, so I wouldn't use it as a Sub name.
I have a macro that, upon clicking a button, will generate a barcode image (the image is composed of nothing but shapes), and after that, will export 3 sheets to a pdf. The problem I'm having is that doing this will generate the barcode image, but when exporting as a PDF the shapes that were used to generate to barcode don't show up. They will show up if I print or print to pdf without using the export to pdf macro, but that defeats the point of the macro.
An even bigger headache is that this code is on a different version (spreadsheet is a template) of the spreadsheet, but the macro process is working just fine on that spreadsheet. I copy/pasted the working code to the spreadsheet that's giving me trouble and the trouble maker is still not working. Below is the related code. Why are the shapes not being included on the exported PDF?

Hi all,
My script above is only a partial one that is taken from my userform. Basicall the scenario is my userform opens a word document template and inserts texts in the document from the excel userform using bookmarks.
After I click submit on the userform, the filedialog opens with the default .xlms and does not allow me to save it back to .doc
I have been searching and modifying my script for ages and cannot seem to get it right. I would appreciate if someone can tell me how. Thank you.
Regards,
Kev
Private Sub SubmitButton_Click()
'set default file name and file path
ProposedFileName = Format(Now(), "DDMMMYYYY") & " " & TextBox1.Value & "-" & TextBox2.Value & ".doc"

With wApp.FileDialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs)
wDoc.SaveAs2 ProposedFilePath & ProposedFileName, _
FilterIndex = 1, _
FileFormat:=wdFormatDocument
End With
'unloads the userforms and .doc file after the document is saved
Unload Me
wApp.Quit
'a dialog box pops up after document is saved to say where the file is saved since I was't unable to implement the browse folder option

Hi All,
Thank you for the help. I have managed to solve my problem with the above code but unfortunately could not do it with the browse location dialog box. I hope this will become useful for everyone who needs it.
However, if anyone knows how to implement the browse folder location with this code will be better and useful for others.
I am trying to create a button which prompts the user for a file then creates a hyperlink in the active spreadsheet.
Goal: after the file is uploaded subsequent users can click on the hyperlink to view the file.
What I have tried, create an ActiveX control in Excel, but representing the input as a hyperlink output in a cell is the problem.

This code opens the common file dialog, filtered to show .xslx files. It picks up the path to the file, then inserts it into the activecell. There's also an inputbox asking for a short text name, if you don't want to see the full path.
Sub FileToLink()
Dim strFileName As String
Dim strShortName As String
strFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Documents (*.xlsx), *.xlsx")
If strFileName = "False" Then
Exit Sub ' user cancelled
End If
strShortName = InputBox("What do you want to call this link?", "Short Text", strFileName)
ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection, Address:=strFileName, TextToDisplay:=strShortName
End Sub
You can substitute strFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("All Documents (*.*), *.*") to show all files. It doesn't matter to the link what file it is, as clicking on the link will invoke the application linked with that file type.
