I have a code that exports image from excel into a picturebox and here it is.
Dim appExcel As Object
Set appExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
appExcel.Visible = False
Dim xlsBook As New excel.Workbook
Dim xlsSheet As New excel.Worksheet
Dim rowlocation As Integer
Dim columnlocation As Integer
Dim celladdress As String
Set xlsBook = appExcel.Workbooks.Open(Text1.Text)
Set xlsSheet = xlsBook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Dim x As excel.Shapes
For Each x In xlsSheet.Shapes
x.Copy
Picture1.Picture = Clipboard.GetData(vbCFBitmap)
Text2.Text = x.Name
rowlocation = x.TopLeftCell.Row
columnlocation = x.TopLeftCell.Column
celladdress = xlsSheet.Cells(x.BottomRightCell.Row + 1, x.TopLeftCell.Column).Address(RowAbsolute:=False, ColumnAbsolute:=False)
MsgBox ActiveSheet.Range(celladdress)
Next
End If
and unfortunately this code wont work on my friends PC becuase he does not have an Excel installed but he has OpenOffice spreadsheet. I tried to open the Excel in Openoffice then the file opens now my goal is how can i convert the code above in OpenOffice? I mean run the code for OpenOffice files.
This is my code but its not working

I do not know exactly what your code does, because I normally do not use Microsoft Office. However it looks like this task can be accomplished using OpenOffice Basic. One of the best places to learn OpenOffice Basic is Andrew Pitonyak's Macro Document.
To start with, look at section 5.9.5. Convert all linked images.
EDIT:
To do this in Calc, first I went to Tools -> Macros -> Organize Dialogs and created a dialog named "ImageViewerForm" with an image control named "MyImageControl".
Then I went to Tools -> Macros -> Organize Macros -> OpenOffice Basic and added the following code:
Sub ShowImageViewerDialog
oDoc = ThisComponent
oDlg = CreateUnoDialog(DialogLibraries.Standard.ImageViewerForm)
oControl = oDlg.Model.MyImageControl
oDrawPage = oDoc.getDrawPages().getByIndex(0)
oImage = oDrawPage.getByIndex(0)
oControl.ImageURL = oImage.GraphicURL
oDlg.execute()
End Sub
To run the code, go to Tools -> Macros -> Run Macro. Here is the result:
The "Next Image" button should be fairly straightforward to implement by adding an event handler.
For documentation, see GraphicObjectShape and UnoControlButtonModel. But mostly I just used the MRI tool to figure it out.
EDIT 2:
Regarding the error you posted, the GraphicURL property in this case is a string that references an in-memory object, not a filepath. An example of the string is shown here: https://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/graphic/XGraphicObject.html.
So it is not suitable for passing to LoadPicture, which takes a filename.
Perhaps you can get the actual image data from oImage.Bitmap or oImage.Graphic. Use MRI to see what attributes are available.
For example, it looks like there is a getDIB() method that might work like this:
Form1.Image1.Picture = oImage.Bitmap.getDIB()
One more idea: Instead of using an Office application, you could write code that unzips the file and reads each image in the Pictures subdirectory.
I have never tried it but according to the docs you can control Open Office through COM automation.
Your VB6 code above is controlling Excel through COM automation. You could install Open Office on your machine, and see whether you can automate Calc from VB6 to open a spreadsheet and extract an image. I don't know whether it allows that. Excel COM automation is very powerful and allows you to do almost anything, Open Office may not be as powerful (I don't know).
I would advise thinking carefully about what problem you are trying to solve and whether there's another approach entirely!

Excel now has the possibility to store personal filtering views to help collaboration in simultaniously used documents.
I could only find Microsoft documentation for an add-in, but the function is available in my Excel version of MS Excel for Microsoft 365 MSO (16.0.13127.20266) 32bit.

I am trying to store the currently applied NamedSheetView name property (for later restoring option) but
this code fails:
Dim sh1 As Worksheet
Dim xViewName As String
Set sh1 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(Sheet6.Name)
xViewName = sh1.NamedSheetView.Name
However this code works (with previously created "Test" view):
sh1.NamedSheetViews.GetItem("Test").Activate
If this NamedSheetViews is a collection, I should be able to get the item property, but these codes also fail:
strName = sh1.NamedSheetViews.GetItem(1).Name
strName = sh1.NamedSheetViews.Item(1).Name
Anyone has ever succeeded in getting the current NamedSheetView of a Worksheet?
Here is how I probe unknown Object properties:
I start with a reference to the Object. If I don't know what the Object is I use TypeName() to return it's class name (data type). I then declare a variable of that data type. Wash, rinse and repeat as I drill down the structure. Once the variable is declared, selecting the variable and pressing F1 with open the Microsoft Help document for that data type.
Module Code
Sub WhatIsThat()
Const TestName As String = "TestName"
Dim View As NamedSheetViewCollection
Set View = Sheet6.NamedSheetViews
On Error Resume Next
View.GetItem(TestName).Delete
On Error GoTo 0
View.Add TestName
Dim SheetView As NamedSheetView
Dim n As Long
For n = 0 To View.Count - 1
Debug.Print View.GetItemAt(n).Name
Set SheetView = View.GetItemAt(n)
Debug.Print SheetView.Name
Next
Stop
End Sub
Immediate Window Tests
?TypeName(Sheet6.NamedSheetViews)
?View.GetItemAt(0).Name
?TypeName( View.GetItemAt(0))
SOLUTION:
(Thanks for the great help from TinMan)
Dim SheetView As NamedSheetView
Dim sh1 As Worksheet
Dim ActiveSheetView as string
Set sh1 = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(Sheet6.Name)
Set SheetView = sh1.NamedSheetViews.GetActive
ActiveSheetView = SheetView.Name
Application:
sh1.NamedSheetViews.GetItem(ActiveSheetView).Activate
Hi I'm trying to write code to use excel to work with two existing word documents but I keep getting OLE errors. This is just the start but it keeps crashing. What am I doing wrong?
Sub BoQtoWord()
Dim Word As Object
Dim WordDoc As Object
Dim WordDoc1 As Object
Dim StdSpec As String
Dim NewSpec As String
StdSpec = Application.GetOpenFilename()
Set Word = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set WordDoc = Word.Documents.Open(StdSpec)
Sheet1.Range ("A1").Value = StdSpec
NewSpec = Application.GetOpenFilename()
Set WordDoc1 = Word.Documents.Open(NewSpec)
Sheet1.Range("A2").Value = NewSpec
End Sub
It seems to works fine on my end, albeit a bit slow, at least as far as writing the file paths to cells A1 and A2 is concerned. Beyond that we'd need to see more of your code.
Depending on what you're trying to accomplish with the Word objects the OLE problems might stem from conflicts in your references, make sure you check what libraries you are referencing (Tools/References...) for any possible conflict.
Another possible conflict might be the use of the word "Word" as your variable name for the object. Word is also a key name when using the Microsoft Word library, try using a different name see if that helps at all.
Speaking of which, by adding the Microsoft Word library to your references you can skip the step to create the word object, you can directly create a word.document object instead, like this:
Sub BoQtoWord()
Dim WordDoc As Word.Document
Dim WordDoc1 As Word.Document
Dim StdSpec As String
Dim NewSpec As String
'Get first doc
StdSpec = Application.GetOpenFilename()
Set WordDoc = Documents.Open(StdSpec)
Sheet1.Range("A1").Value = StdSpec
'Get second doc
NewSpec = Application.GetOpenFilename()
Set WordDoc1 = Documents.Open(NewSpec)
Sheet1.Range("A2").Value = NewSpec
'Do something with the documents opened
End Sub
Maybe that would solve your OLE problems.
Hope this points you in the right direction, if anything, a bit more information might help narrow down the issue!
Folks. I have an Excel file and want to create a Word document with the data in a sheet. The program shows an error and I can't find the reason.
I tried to use the following code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
' Objetos Word
Dim obj1 As New Application
Dim wdDoc As Word.Document
' Objetos Excel
Dim wbBook As Workbook
Dim wsSheet As Worksheet
Dim Caminho, Arquivo, Nome_aluno, Ender As String
Dim Gen_p, Gen_a, Hora, Prof, Resp As String
Dim i, Comp As Integer
Dim Coord_C As Integer
Dim Coord_L As Integer
Caminho = "D:\Data\Office\Excel\"
Arquivo = "Anexo D - Ata de defesa TCC.docx"
The code continues, but is irrelevant for now.
The point is when I run the code I get the message:
User defined type not defined
This is weird, because in another Excel file I can run it, and it works fine.
What have I missed? Do I have to link something?
To create a new Word doc from another application, add this...
Dim appWD As Word.Application
Set appWD = CreateObject("Word.Application")
appWD.Documents.Add
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/excel/concepts/working-with-other-applications/controlling-one-microsoft-office-application-from-another
since your code uses:
Dim obj1 As New Application
You must set a VBA reference to whatever application (Word?) obj1 relates to. That is done via Tools|References. You must also tell VBA what application that is. For example:
Dim obj1 As New Word.Application
I have a source excel workbook (XLSM format) that has sheets containing images. These sheets are programatically copied into another(target) workbook (XLSM) using VB.NET late binding. After all the copy is done i save the workbook and launch it. In the opened excel workbook I see the error message 'The image part with relationship ID rId1 was not found in the file' at all places where the images are placed.
All the operations are done in the client machine no server side code available.
Interestingly this issue doesn't occur in Excel 2013 and it displays the images properly issue is observed only in 2010 and 2007. Is this a know bug in Excel 2010 and 2007 if yes can any one provide me the official link to the ticket so that i can track the issue and get the Hot fix once it is available.

I have to know how can i link the excel database of Instrument loop Diagram in AutoCad format. I have AutoCad Template for a loop typical and Excel Database in which i have 100 Loops information for particular typical.I have AutoCad 2006,2007 and 2011 with me. please suggest idea for linking and generating he AutoCAD Drawings automatically.
The easiest way would be to learn a bit of AutoLisp, which is really worth learning if you're into generating drawings or automating your processes within AutoCAD.
Here's a great website for learning AutoLisp:
http://www.afralisp.net/index.php
AutoDesk's Lisp forum is also a great source of help.
As for extracting the data from Excel, here is a library which really facilitates access from AutoLisp:

Whatever way you choose now you can draw into the autocad drawing by using VBA.
There is another way for non programmers.
AUTOCAD SCRIPT
in fact you can create a excel table which creates this things and then you can export them to a text file. For simple task a solution but crap if you hase more complex things to do.
And last but not least you can create dynamic blocks and use vba to insert them and set the values of their parameters according to your excel sheet. But this would explode this tiny post
