I am trying to display the contents of a text file in notepad++ on the screen using line below the vba. Currently the rest of the vba runs and I can see the text file to be displayed in the directory var, which has the path to the directory, but only notepad++ opens and does not display the file. Is there a better way rather then Call Shell as I can not seem to fix this or what am I doing wrong? Thank you :).

I'm working on a large Excel project that requires entering a lot of data spread out over the worksheet that needs to be entered as quick as possible. To try and aide with the entry, I've created a number of UserForms that the user would enter the data into. One such form returns the above "Process Too Large" error when trying to transfer the data.
I understand why the error pops up - it's far too long. I've included the code for one such entry (slightly modified of course) and was wondering how I would be able to truncate it?
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim i As Long
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("STOCK")
' 101
If entry101.Value <> "" Then
Dim NUM101 As String
If com101.Value <> "" Then
NUM101 = "# - " & UCase(com101.Value)
Else
NUM101 = ""
End If
If cmb101.Value = "FULL" Then
ws.Range("_101").Value = UCase(code101.Value) & " " & Chr(10) & UCase(com101.Value) & " - FULL " & Chr(10) & " "
End If
If cmb101.Value = "OUT OF STOCK" Then
ws.Range("_101").Value = UCase(com101.Value) & " OUT OF STOCK " & Chr(10) & UCase(code101.Value) & " " & Chr(10) & " "
End If
If cmb101.Value = "SHIPPED" Then
ws.Range("_101").Value = UCase(code101.Value) & " " & Chr(10) & " - SHIPPED " & Chr(10) & NUM101
End If
If cmb101.Value = "DAMAGED" Then
ws.Range("_101").Value = UCase(code101.Value) & " DAMAGED " & Chr(10) & " "" & Chr(10) & NUM101"
End If
If cmb101.Value = "LOW STOCK" Then
ws.Range("_101").Value = UCase(com101.Value) & " LOW-STOCK " & Chr(10) & UCase(code101.Value) & " " & Chr(10) & " "
End If
If cmb101.Value = "RETURN" Then
ws.Range("_101").Value = UCase(code101.Value) & " " & Chr(10) & "RETURNED - " & UCase(com101.Value) & " " & Chr(10) & " "
End If
If cmb101.Value = "" Then
ws.Range("_101").Value = UCase(code101.Value) & Chr(10) & " - UNKNOWN CONDITION"
End If
End If
The UserForm has two text boxes ("code101" & "com101") and a single ComboBox ("cmb101") for each entry. The above code needs to be applied to a range from "_101" to "_143" so needs to repeat 43 times.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.
Something like this (untested):
Dim ws As Worksheet, vCom, vCode
Dim i As Long, s, num As String
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("STOCK")
For i = 101 To 143
If Me.Controls("entry" & i).Value <> "" Then
vCom = UCase(Me.Controls("com" & i).Value)
vCode = UCase(Me.Controls("code" & i).Value)
num = IIf(vCom <> "", "# - " & vCom, "")
s = ""
Select Case Me.Controls("cmb" & i).Value
Case "FULL": s = vCode & " " & Chr(10) & vCom & " - FULL " & Chr(10) & " "
Case "OUT OF STOCK": s = vCom & " OUT OF STOCK " & Chr(10) & vCode & " " & Chr(10) & " "
Case "SHIPPED": s = vCode & " " & Chr(10) & " - SHIPPED " & Chr(10) & num
'etc
'etc
End Select
If Len(s) > 0 Then ws.Range("_" & i).Value = s
End If
Next i

Passing variables using excel macros in order to complete a sentence

I want to print the below output in my excel sheet rather than displaying on the msg box.
I have written the below code but I am not able to print the output of sCommand in my excel sheet.
I want to print the output on cell A1.
Thanks in advance.
sCommand = "Call " & s1 & "." & s2 & "(" & "'" & INPUT_DATE & "'" & "," & "'" &EXIT_DATE & "'" & "," & "STATUS " & ")" & ";"
MsgBox (sCommand)
Same as Gadziu, but instead of using .Cells(1,1) using .Range:
sCommand = "Call " & s1 & "." & s2 & "(" & "'" & INPUT_DATE & "'" & "," & "'" &EXIT_DATE & "'" & "," & "STATUS " & ")" & ";"
ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Value = sCommand
You should also declare which Sheet you are actually wanting to write to, as ActiveSheet will take the sheet that is currently selected/active, so this could be better defined as:
Sub foo()
Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = Sheets("Sheet1")
'declare and set your worksheet, amend as required
Dim s1 As String, s2 As String, sCommand As String
s1 = InputBox("Enter schema name")
s2 = InputBox("Enter procedure name")
Input_date = Format(Date, "dd/mm/yyyy") 'get today's date or: Input_date = InputBox("Enter Input Date")
Exit_Date = Format(Date, "dd/mm/yyyy") 'get today's date or: Exit_Date = InputBox("Enter Exit Date")
Status = InputBox("Status")
sCommand = "Call " & s1 & "." & s2 & "(" & "'" & Input_date & "'" & "," & "'" & Exit_Date & "'" & "," & Status & ")" & ";"
'concatenate your variables into a string
'ws.Cells(1, 1).Value = sCommand 'the Cells(1, 1) refer to Cells(row_number, column_number)
ws.Range("A1").Value = sCommand
End Sub
sCommand = "Call " & s1 & "." & s2 & "(" & "'" & INPUT_DATE & "'" & "," & "'" &EXIT_DATE & "'" & "," & "STATUS " & ")" & ";"
ActiveSheet.Cells(1,1).Value = sCommand
I'm working on Excel 11 Mac OS and below is the code I'm using for creating a folder
Function MakeFolderIfNotExist(Folderstring As String)

On Error GoTo 0
Else
str = MacScript("return POSIX path of (" & _
Chr(34) & Folderstring & Chr(34) & ")")
MkDir str
End If
End Function
After I call the function using
MakeFolderIfNotExist("/Desktop/test/2017")
I'm getting the error saying path not found. I've been searching the internet for good 2 hours now with no luck. can somebody please help?
The below excel 2010 vba runs perfectly except I can not seem to get the variable process (time elapsed) to print from the Call Perl section to the analysis.txt, which captures some information regarding the analysis. Thank you :).
