Hi Thanks for your help.
I have the follow code in Outlook 2010 & 2007:
Sub Openexcel()
Dim xlApp As Object
Dim sourceWB As Workbook
Dim sourceSH As Worksheet
Dim strFile As String
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
With xlApp
.Visible = True
.EnableEvents = False
End With
strFile = "E:\All documents\susan\work\Excel projects\saving files to directory Clean.xls"
Set sourceWB = Workbooks.Open(strFile, , False, , , , , , , True)
Set sourceSH = sourceWB.Worksheets("Sheet2")
sourceWB.Activate
End Sub
This code works the first time I use it after opening outlook but if I then close the excel file I can not use it again. I need to reopen this work book about 3 times
The Question at
Outlook VBA open excel
seen to have the same problem but I did not understand the answer.
"I got it figured out. I was opening a different workbook and then closing it before I try to open the second one and that was interfering with it. To fix this I kept the excel app open and reset the workbook object to the new workbook i wanted"
If some someone could help with the additional code that would be great.
Great code found at Excel interactions don't work after Excel file opened.
why I could not find this last week who knows.
Sub Openexcel()
' change
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim sourceWB As Excel.Workbook
Dim sourceSH As Excel.Worksheet
'change
Set xlApp = New Excel.Application
With xlApp
.Visible = True
.EnableEvents = False
'.UserControl = False
'.DisplayAlerts = False
'.AskToUpdateLinks = False
End With
strFile = "E:\All documents\susan\work\Excel projects\saving files to directory Clean.xls"
'change
Set sourceWB = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(strFile, , False, , , , , , , True)
Set sourceSH = sourceWB.Worksheets("Sheet2")
sourceWB.Activate
End Sub
Thanks guys for all your thoughts.
You need to declare the Excel Applicaton at the global scope and use it to open another workbooks. Not to create a new Excel instance for opening new files. You may find the How to automate Microsoft Excel from Visual Basic article helpful.
For example, declare the Application object outside the event handler:
Dim oXL As Excel.Application
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim oWB As Excel.Workbook
Thus, you will be able to re-use it for closing and opening new workbooks.

I just learned to open programmatically embedded OLEObjects by following VBA-Excel code:
mySheet.OLEObjects(myName).Verb xlVerbOpen
However, if "myName" corresponds to an Excel object, the Excel file is opened in the same Excel instance in which I am running the program. Since at that time there are a couple of forms opened, I would like this object to be opened in a new Excel instance (and not behind the forms, as it is now happening). Is this possible? How could I do it? Thanks a lot in advance.
You can create new Excel Instance in your code (in the below sample - xlApp) and refer to that instance in whatever you do next (however this will work only if OLEObject is created with link):
Dim xlApp As New Excel.Application, xlWb As Workbook
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True 'Make new instance visible (by default it's not visible)
Set xlWb = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(Filename) ' Filename is path to the linked workbook
If OLEObject is not linked the only way to open in new Excel instance is to open with the main excel file, which is not what you want:
xlApp.Workbooks.Open(workbookpath).Worksheets("mySheet").OLEObjects(myName).Verb xlVerbOpen
Following Richard's suggestion, see below the code I built to be able to open an embedded excel object through VBA in a new workbook within a new Excel instance:
Dim xlApp As excel.Application
Dim xlWb As Workbook
Dim mySheet As Worksheet
Dim myName as String
Set mySheet = Sheets("write sheet name")
Set myName = Sheets("write object name")
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(mySheet).OLEObjects(myName).Copy
Set xlApp = New excel.Application
xlApp.Visible = True
Set xlWb = xlApp.Workbooks.Add
xlWb.Sheets(1).Paste
xlWb.Sheets(1).OLEObjects(myName).Verb xlVerbOpen

I am opening an excel workbook from excel and delete a sheet inside. I want to do this without the message from Excel:
"Excel will permanently delete this sheet, do you want to continue"
However I cannot make the "DisplayAlerts = False" work correctly.
Public Sub xportQuery()
Dim appExcel As Excel.Application
Dim myWorkbook As Excel.Workbook
Dim PathDaily, FileName As String
PathDaily = Forms!Menu!Text69
FileName = Forms!Menu!Text84
Set appExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set myWorkbook = appExcel.Workbooks.Open(PathDaily & FileName)
appExcel.Visible = True
'Set appExcel = Nothing
Set myWorkbook = Nothing
appExcel.DisplayAlerts = False
Workbooks(FileName).Sheets("Sheety").Delete
appExcel.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
Writing it this way I get a "Subscript out of range" on the Sheets("Sheety").delete
If I take of the two DisplayAlerts lines, the code works but with the alert.
How do I write my code correctly to work without any alert message?
Note: DoCmd.SetWarnings didn t work either as the message is displayed in Excel
Thanks To Sam's Comment:
it works either by changing
Workbooks(FileName).Sheets("Sheety").Delete
into
myWorkbook.Sheets("Sheety").Delete
or
AppExcel.Workbooks(FileName).Sheets("Sheety").Delete
However the rest of the macro can still use Workbooks(Filename) without the "AppExcel." Reference
I am relatively new to VBA, and am at a loss as to why I cannot paste into Excel from Word. The following macro ends up pasting the value into Word, even though I think I'm activating the Excel document.
The macro is meant to be run from Word; values from various FormFields then need to be pasted into cells in an existing Excel file.
I searched for a similar issue, though what was returned seemed to be variations of what I am experiencing, and I could not modify those answers to this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Sub Transfer()
Dim WD As Object
Dim ED As Excel.Application
Dim EDS As Excel.Workbook
Set WD = ActiveDocument
Set ED = CreateObject("excel.application")
ED.Visible = True
Workbooks.Open FileName:= _
"C:\Users\Documents\AppealData.xlsx"
ActiveWorkbook.Activate
Set EDS = ActiveWorkbook
WD.FormFields("AppNum").Copy
EDS.Activate
EDS.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Select
Selection.Paste
End Sub
Your Selection is referring to the current application. To refer to the Excel application you need to use ED.Selection. But it is a bad idea to rely on Activate and Select anyway.
I suggest you change your code to:
Sub Transfer()
Dim WD As Document
Dim ED As Excel.Application
Dim EDS As Excel.Workbook
Set WD = ActiveDocument
Set ED = CreateObject("excel.application")
ED.Visible = True
'Avoid "Activate"
Set EDS = ED.Workbooks.Open(FileName:= _
"C:\Users\Documents\AppealData.xlsx")
WD.FormFields("AppNum").Copy
'Avoid "Activate" and "Select" and "Selection"
'"Paste" is a worksheet Method, use "PasteSpecial" for a Range
'Use "xlPasteValues" to avoid formatting issues
EDS.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").PasteSpecial Excel.xlPasteValues
End Sub
This here should work for you.
Sub Transfer()
Dim oExcel As Excel.Application
Dim oWB As Workbook
Set oExcel = New Excel.Application
Set oWB = oExcel.Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\Documents\AppealData.xlsx")
oExcel.Visible = True
Workbooks("Book1").Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1).Value = _
CStr(Documents("Document1").FormFields("AppNum").Result)
End Sub
I have an excel file that was created by vb6 application and after I save it, I want it to be printed into the default printer..,
Tnx, any help would be appreciated.
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application

'open excel application

'Open excel workbook
Set xlWB = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(FileName:="C:\YourFile.xls")
'There are two ways to access specific worksheets
'By index number (the first worksheet in this case)
Set xlSH = xlWB.Worksheets(1)
'or by the Sheet's Name
Set xlSH = xlWB.Worksheets("TestSheet")

Sub PrintSheet(sh As Worksheet, strFooter As String, strHeader As String)
sh.PageSetup.CenterFooter = strFooter
sh.PageSetup.CenterHeader = strHeader
sh.PrintOut
End Sub
Yet, to answer your question, you can use :
ActiveWorkbook.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
and you can find much information here : http://www.exceltip.com/excel_tips/Printing_in_VBA/210.html
Anyway, i insist, you should accept answers from your previous questions or people won't care answering your new ones.

How do I edit excel spreadsheets from word using VBA?
First you need to set a reference to the version of Excel you are running. In the VBE go to Tools>References and click Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library (12.0 for 2007, 11.0 for 2003) etc.
Then you can code something like this (opens a new instance of Excel, opens, edits and saves a new workbook). You'd use GetObject to access a running instance of Excel:
Sub EditExcelFromWord()
Dim appExcel As Excel.Application
Dim wb As Excel.Workbook
Dim ws As Excel.Worksheet
Set appExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
With appExcel
.Visible = True
Set wb = .Workbooks.Add
Set ws = wb.Worksheets(1)
ws.Range("A1").Value2 = "Test"
wb.SaveAs ThisDocument.Path & Application.PathSeparator & "temp.xls"
Stop 'admire your work and then click F5 to continue
Set ws = Nothing
Set wb = Nothing
Set appExcel = Nothing
End With
End Sub
