Excel Crashes on wb.Close in VBA - excel

Everything in this code works fine, except at the very end when I go to close the workbook that I am performing some operations on. I'm inserting some code into ThisWorkbook of the workbook that I'm opening from a text file and also copying a few tabs in my master spreadsheet to each workbook that I open in this loop. At the end of the loop it crashes when I try to close and move on to the next workbook.

Just to finalize:
In my specific situation I was adding a BeforeClose Event to the target workbook ThisWorkbook object. In the code that is performing this operation, it was crashing after the BeforeClose code was inserted in the target workbook and upon having the source code try to close the workbook with wb.Close.
I changed:
wb.Close
to
Application.EnableEvents = False
wb.Close
Application.EnableEvents = True
So, bypassed the target workbook events altogether and it's fixed.

Check the code in the wb close / save events for any invalid actions:
BeforeClose()
BeforeSave()
SheetDeactivate()
WindowDeactivate(), etc
Not related, but remove the .Activate statements and qualify the objects if needed
For example:
Workbooks("DFFPHI_w_QAQC.xlsm").Activate
If Sheets("Master - DO NOT MOVE").Range("B4") = True Then
should be replaced with
If Workbooks("DFFPHI_w_QAQC.xlsm").Sheets("Master - DO NOT MOVE").Range("B4") = True Then
Statements .Select and .Activate are not needed and have poor performance

VBA - Check if a sheet exists then import in my workbook else show an error message

i'm having a bit of a headache with VBA which i haven't used since 2006.
I have my destination excel file where I need to import 3 predefined sheets from another excel file of the user's choice.
After selecting the source file to import I would like to perform a check, IF the "Cover" sheet exists THEN copy it to the target workbook ELSE print an error message in the excel file in order to have a log, once this is done I have to do the same check for the "Functional" and "Batch" sheets.
Before inserting the IFs, I was able to import the sheets but I didn't have control over whether they existed or not, "Cover" is mandatory while "Functional" and "Batch" I need at least one of the two to be able to proceed with the next steps.
Now I can check if the "Cover" sheet exists and import it ELSE I exit the Sub, after which I should check if the other sheets also exist and import them but I immediately get the "absent sheet" error.
Below is the code I am getting stuck with:
Sub Import()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim TargetWorkbook As Workbook
Dim SourceWorkbook As Workbook
Dim OpenFileName
Set TargetWorestBookkbook = ActiveWorkbook
'Select and Open Source workbook
OpenFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls*),*.xls*")
If OpenFileName = False Then
MsgBox "Nessun file Source selezionato. Impossibile procedere."
Exit Sub
End If
On Error GoTo exit_
Set SourceWorkbook = Workbooks.Open(OpenFileName)
'Import sheets
' if the sheet doesn't exist an error will occur here
If WorksheetExists("Cover e Legenda") Then
SourceWorkbook.Sheets("Cover e Legenda").Copy _
after:=TargetWorkbook.Sheets(ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count)
Application.CutCopyMode = False
SourceWorkbook.Close False
Else
MsgBox ("Cover assente. Impossibile proseguire.")
Exit Sub
End If
If WorksheetExists("Test Funzionali") Then
SourceWorkbook.Sheets("Test Funzionali").Copy _
after:=TargetWorkbook.Sheets(ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count)
Application.CutCopyMode = False
SourceWorkbook.Close False
Else
MsgBox ("Test Funzionali assente.")
End If
If WorksheetExists("Test Batch") Then
SourceWorkbook.Sheets("Test Batch").Copy _
after:=TargetWorkbook.Sheets(ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Count)
Application.CutCopyMode = False
SourceWorkbook.Close False
Else
MsgBox ("Test Batch assente.")
End If
'Next Sheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
SourceWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False
MsgBox ("Importazione completata.")
TargetWorkbook.Activate
exit_:
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

If Err Then MsgBox Err.Description, vbCritical, "Error"
End Sub
Best to check all of the sheets before importing any of them.
Try something like this:
Sub Import()

'Select and Open Source workbook
OpenFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls*),*.xls*")
If OpenFileName = False Then
MsgBox "Nessun file Source selezionato. Impossibile procedere."
Exit Sub
End If
Set wbSource = Workbooks.Open(OpenFileName)
'check which sheets exist
haveCover = WorksheetExists(wbSource, "Cover e Legenda")
haveFunz = WorksheetExists(wbSource, "Test Funzionali")
haveTest = WorksheetExists(wbSource, "Test Batch")
If haveCover And (haveFunz Or haveTest) Then 'have the minumum required sheets?
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Freeze on specific sheet during macro execution and loop through each sheet containing a specific name

The parts not working are especially loop parts (marked as --- not working ---). Do I have to “activate” them first somehow?
The part which displays sheet “X” and freezing the screen isn't working too.
I want to display a picture on sheet “X” with a coffee image and the message: “please wait” until the macro is finished.
I tried to avoid the “Select” and “Activate” commands.

You should add some details about your data and/or your intention.
Using subprocedures could simplify your debugging task.
Avoid "On Error Goto xxx" during development as you need the error details while debugging.
Using "Option Explicit" as a first line simplifies your debugging.

Optimize Excel VBA Macro for Copy-PasteValues

I'm new in Excel-VBA and I need to improve my macro performance. I have a macro that searches an excel, opens it, then goes through every sheet and copy-pastevalues for all cell with a specific color (yellow). Finally saves and closes the excel. In addition, excels sheets are locked and only those yellow cells are editable. This should be done for a list of excel that I indicate in a main template from where I call the macro. The problem is that it takes a lot of time and even gets blocked when the number of excels is more than 3.
I paste my code below and hope anyone can help. Thanks!

Untested- just some "start" ideas for you to use (e.g. no selections, using arrays, fix With statement, no GoTo). I don't understand the logic behind clearing vbNullstring. If it is necessary adapt the code in your way.
I would also suggest opening files with displayalerts on because of few potential problems (e.g. "serious error occur last time file was opened" would hangs your macro)
Sub Button1_Click()
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.StatusBar = True
End With
' If possible change this reference
' from active sheet to sheet's name/codename/index
Dim activeWs As Worksheet
Set activeWs = ActiveSheet
Dim filePath As String
filePath = Application.ThisWorkbook.Path
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim obj_Cell As Range
' range definition
' if lastRow not working change to yours xlDown
' if possible End(xlUp) method is more reliable
Dim rng As Range
Dim lastRw As Long
With activeWs
lastRw = .Cells(.Cells.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = .Range("B9:B" & lastRw)
End With
' read whole ranges at once
' instead of offset it is possible also to read
' cartera and plantilla at the same time to 2Darray
Dim cartera As Variant
cartera = Application.Transpose(rng.Value2)
Dim plantilla As Variant
plantilla = Application.Transpose(rng.Offset(, 1).Value2)
' main loop

For i = 1 To UBound(cartera)
If cartera(i) <> vbNullString Or plantilla(i) <> vbNullString Then
Application.StatusBar = "Ejecutando Cartera: " & cartera(i) & ", Plantilla: " & plantilla(i)

How to reference the current User\Desktop location in VBA

Hello and thank you for your time, in the function code below, how do I make it in a way that it will function on any users computer, not just mine.
I know I need to probably use the Environ("USERPROFILE") thing but I don't know how to incorporate it in the code below.
Function Import_Data() As Boolean
Dim x As Workbook
Dim targetWorkbook As Workbook
Dim xWs As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Const F_PATH As String = "C:\Users\mohammad.reza\Desktop\MyFiles.xls"
'if no file then exit and return false
If Dir(F_PATH) = "" Then
MsgBox "My Files is not found on your Desktop"
Import_Data = False
Exit Function
End If
'If the file exists than load the file and continue
Import_Data = True
' This part delets all sheets except the summary tab
For Each xWs In Application.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If xWs.Name <> "Summary" Then
xWs.Delete
End If
Next
' This part will get the raw data from the downloaded file on the desktop
Set x = Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\mohammad.reza\Desktop\MyFiles.xls")
Set targetWorkbook = Application.ActiveWorkbook
' This part will copy the sheet into this workbook
With x.Sheets("MyFiles").UsedRange
ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add(After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)).Range("A1").Resize( _
.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count) = .Value
End With
x.Close
' This part will rename the sheet and move it to the end
ActiveSheet.Name = "RAW DATA"
ActiveSheet.Move After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Function
Thank you brad for your answer, however when I use it, it gives the below error:
Try this ...
Function Import_Data() As Boolean
Dim x As Workbook
Dim targetWorkbook As Workbook
Dim xWs As Worksheet
Dim sPath As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
sPath = Environ("USERPROFILE") & "\Desktop\MyFiles.xls"
'if no file then exit and return false
If Dir(sPath) = "" Then
MsgBox "My Files is not found on your Desktop"
Import_Data = False
Exit Function
End If
'If the file exists than load the file and continue
Import_Data = True
' This part delets all sheets except the summary tab
For Each xWs In Application.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If xWs.Name <> "Summary" Then
xWs.Delete
End If
Next
' This part will get the raw data from the downloaded file on the desktop
Set x = Workbooks.Open(sPath)
Set targetWorkbook = Application.ActiveWorkbook
' This part will copy the sheet into this workbook
With x.Sheets("MyFiles").UsedRange
ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add(After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)).Range("A1").Resize( _
.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count) = .Value
End With
x.Close
' This part will rename the sheet and move it to the end
ActiveSheet.Name = "RAW DATA"
ActiveSheet.Move After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Function
