I am trying to run a testcomplete project and the script routines within it.
i used the following code:
Dim pn As String, un As String, rn As String
'Set ProjectSuiteName = "C:\Users\s.amin\Documents\TestComplete 10 Projects\DigiStyle1\DigiStyle1.pjs"
pn = "DigiStyle_App"
un = "login_test1"
rn = "loginApp"
' Creates the application object
Set TestCompleteApp = CreateObject("TestComplete.TestCompleteApplication")
' Obtains the integration object
Set IntegrationObject = TestCompleteApp.Integration
' Opens the project suite
IntegrationObject.OpenProjectSuite ("C:\Users\s.amin\Documents\TestComplete 10 Projects\DigiStyle1\DigiStyle1.pjs")
' Runs the routine
IntegrationObject.RunRoutine(pn, un, rn)
But i am getting the syntax error in the last statement. used this code from smartbear site itself.
When you call a procedure with parameters, you need to either use the Call keyword:
Call IntegrationObject.RunRoutine(pn, un, rn)
or drop the parentheses:
IntegrationObject.RunRoutine pn, un, rn

First I want to check via VBA, before I do some transactions in SAP GUI, if a connection is already open. I am not able to login a second time, so I need to stay in the same connection.
Secondly I want to open another session. The second problem has been solved, if I assume SAP GUI is already open. But I don't know it for sure. So I need to find a way to access the current SAPGUI and Application and Connection, if they exist. If not, the standard code of If Not IsObject(SAPGUI) Then… is fine. But how do I define these variables correctly to check, if they are „filled“ Objects or not?
Thanks for help!
Based on a script by S. Schnell you can use the follwing function to find a free session
Function findGuiSession(ByVal sapSID As String, Optional tCode As String) As SAPFEWSELib.GuiSession
' this will find a free session using the systemnam resp. SID
' and optional one can also supply a transaction to
Dim CollCon As SAPFEWSELib.GuiComponentCollection
Dim CollSes As SAPFEWSELib.GuiComponentCollection
Dim guiCon As SAPFEWSELib.GuiConnection
Dim guiSes As SAPFEWSELib.GuiSession
Dim guiSesInfo As SAPFEWSELib.GuiSessionInfo
Dim i As Long, j As Long
Dim SID As String, transaction As String
'On Error GoTo EH
Dim guiApplication As SAPFEWSELib.guiApplication
Set guiApplication = getGuiApplication
If guiApplication Is Nothing Then
Exit Function
End If
Set CollCon = guiApplication.Connections
If Not IsObject(CollCon) Then
Exit Function
End If
' Loop through all existing connections
For i = 0 To CollCon.Count() - 1
Set guiCon = guiApplication.Children(CLng(i))
If Not IsObject(guiCon) Then
Exit Function
End If
Set CollSes = guiCon.Sessions
If Not IsObject(CollSes) Then
Exit Function
End If
' Now loop through all existing sessions
For j = 0 To CollSes.Count() - 1
Set guiSes = guiCon.Children(CLng(j))
If Not IsObject(guiSes) Then
Exit Function
End If
If guiSes.Busy = vbFalse Then
Set guiSesInfo = guiSes.Info
If guiSesInfo.user = "" Or guiSesInfo.user = "SAPSYS" Then
' Logon Screen - cannot be used
Else
If IsObject(guiSesInfo) Then
SID = guiSesInfo.SystemName()
transaction = guiSesInfo.transaction()
' Take the first one - In case one could also use the transactionaction addtionally
If Len(tCode) = 0 Then
If SID = sapSID Then
Set findGuiSession = guiSes
'FindSession = True
Exit Function
End If
Else
If SID = sapSID And transaction = tCode Then
Set findGuiSession = guiSes
'FindSession = True
Exit Function
End If
End If
End If
End If
End If

Next
Exit Function

Function getGuiApplication() As SAPFEWSELib.guiApplication

For this code to run you need to add a reference to the SAP library, described here

Additonal remarks: (hopefully answering some questions in the comments)
Gui Connection: A GuiConnection represents the connection between SAP GUI and an application server. Connections can be opened from SAP Logon or from GuiApplication’s openConnection and openConnectionByConnectionString
methods
So, in other words a gui connection is a kind of login to an SAP system. And usually you have more than one SAP system in your organization. If you follow the guidelines you have a DEV, QUAL and PROD for a given system environment. Each of this system is identifid by a SID
What is SID?
SID is a unique identification code for every R/3 installation (SAP system) consisting of a database server & several application servers. SID stands for SAP System Identification. SAPSID — a three-character code such as C11, PRD, E56, etc.)
An SID is unique within the organization. Usually SAP licence only allows a user to login to a productive system only once, i.e. you cannot use the same user on different computers and you cannot even login to a SAP system with the same user on the same computer twice.
Having said that: One might be tempted to use guiApplication.Children(0) instead of looping through all connections as done in findGuiSession. And this will work as long as you can make sure that you are only logged on to one SAP system and it is the right one. But in my experience this is often not the case.
The parameter SID in findGuiSession tells the function which system to look for. As written above SID is unique and therefore identfies the system you want to use.
Using tCode in findGuiSession is optional and just forces the user to have a session in place with a given tCode already started. I use this very seldom.
OpenConnection: If you open a connection with the function OpenConnection("<SYSTEM>") you can, of course, use the returned object in order to work with it. But this only does a logon to the system if you have a kind of single sign on in your organization in place. Otherwise you have to provide logon credentials. I do not use this because I do not want to take care of this. And it also can happen that a password change is requested during the logon and I sure do not want to script this.
Example code
Rem Open a connection in synchronous mode
Set Connection = Application.OpenConnection( "U9C [PUBLIC]", True)
Set Session = Connection.Children(0)
Rem Do something: Either fill out the login screen
Rem or in case of Single-Sign-On start a transaction.
Session.SendCommand( "/nbibs")
Hello I am running a VBA script in excel 365, and am trying to make an object (day) store a list of custom objects (job) but when trying to input the array of objects I run into an error.
I am using Property handlers to access the private internal array for the day object.
This is how it gets ran, the jobTest function only creates some arbitrary job objects.
Sub dayTest()
jobTest
Debug.Print testJob.GNum
Dim foo As New day
foo.DateBlock = DateValue("14 / 03 / 2020")
Debug.Print TypeName(testJob)
Dim x As Variant
x = foo.JobsForDay(0, testJob)
End Sub
When running this code I get the error:
Wrong number of arguments or property assignment
But when looking at my access methods I created, these don't seem to apply.
Private mDateStored As Date
Private mNumJobs As Long
Private mJobsForDay() As job
Property Get JobsForDay(val As Long) As Variant
JobsForDay = mJobsForDay(val)
End Property
Property Let JobsForDay(val As Long, jobObj As Variant)
mNumJobs = mNumJobs + 1
ReDim Preserve mJobsForDay(mNumJobs)
mJobsForDay(val) = jobObj
End Property
I am trying to call the Let function, however the compiler throws a generic "Expected =" error when I run the code as
foo.JobsForDay(0, testJob)
Which is why I have the variant x accepting all input from the method.
Thanks for any help!
This has been bugging me for while as I feel I have few pieces of the puzzle but I cant put them all together
So my goal is to be able to search all .pdfs in a given location for a keyword or phrase within the content of the files, not the filename, and then use the results of the search to populate an excel spreadsheet.
Before we start, I know that this easy to do using the Acrobat Pro API, but my company are not going to pay for licences for everyone so that this one macro will work.
The windows file explorer search accepts advanced query syntax and will search inside the contents of files assuming that the correct ifilters are enabled. E.g. if you have a word document called doc1.docx and the text inside the document reads "blahblahblah", and you search for "blah" doc1.docx will appear as the result.
As far as I know, this cannot be acheived using the FileSystemObject, but if someone could confirm either way that would be really useful?
I have a simple code that opens an explorer window and searches for a string within the contents of all files in the given location. Once the search has completed I have an explorer window with all the files required listed. How do I take this list and populate an excel with the filenames of these files?
dim eSearch As String
eSearch = "explorer " & Chr$(34) & "search-ms://query=System.Generic.String:" & [search term here] & "&crumb=location:" & [Directory Here] & Chr$(34)
Call Shell (eSearch)
Assuming the location is indexed you can access the catalog directly with ADO (add a reference to Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.x):
Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim sql As String
cn.Open "Provider=Search.CollatorDSO;Extended Properties='Application=Windows'"
sql = "SELECT System.ItemNameDisplay, System.ItemPathDisplay FROM SystemIndex WHERE SCOPE='file:C:\look\here' AND System.Kind <> 'folder' AND CONTAINS(System.FileName, '""*.PDF""') AND CONTAINS ('""find this text""')"
rs.Open sql, cn, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly
If Not rs.EOF Then
Do While Not rs.EOF
Debug.Print "File: "; rs.Collect(0)
Debug.Print "Path: "; rs.Collect(1)
rs.MoveNext
Loop
End If
Try using the next function, please:
Function GetFilteredFiles(foldPath As String) As Collection
'If using a reference to `Microsoft Internet Controls (ShDocVW.dll)_____________________
'uncomment the next 2 lines and comment the following three (without any reference part)
'Dim ExpWin As SHDocVw.ShellWindows, CurrWin As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
'Set ExpWin = New SHDocVw.ShellWindows
'_______________________________________________________________________________________
'Without any reference:_____________________________________
Dim ExpWin As Object, CurrWin As Object, objshell As Object
Set objshell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set ExpWin = objshell.Windows
'___________________________________________________________
Dim Result As New Collection, oFolderItems As Object, i As Long
Dim CurrSelFile As String
For Each CurrWin In ExpWin
If Not CurrWin.Document Is Nothing Then
If Not CurrWin.Document.FocusedItem Is Nothing Then
If left(CurrWin.Document.FocusedItem.Path, _
InStrRev(CurrWin.Document.FocusedItem.Path, "\")) = foldPath Then
Set oFolderItems = CurrWin.Document.folder.Items
For i = 0 To oFolderItems.count
On Error Resume Next
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Err.Clear: On Error GoTo 0
Else
Result.Add oFolderItems.item(CLng(i)).Name
On Error GoTo 0
End If
Next
End If
End If
End If
Next CurrWin
Set GetFilteredFiles = Result
End Function
Like it is, the function works without any reference...
The above function must be called after you executed the search query in your existing code. It can be called in the next (testing) way:
Sub testGetFilteredFiles()
Dim C As Collection, El As Variant
Set C = GetFilteredFiles("C:\Teste VBA Excel\")'use here the folder path you used for searching
For Each El In C
Debug.Print El
Next
End Sub
The above solution iterates between all IExplorer windows and return what is visible there (after filtering) for the folder you initially used to search.
You can manually test it, searching for something in a specific folder and then call the function with that specific folder path as argument ("\" backslash at the end...).
I've forgotten everything I ever knew about VBA, but recently stumbled across an easy way to execute Explorer searches using the Shell.Application COM object. My code is PowerShell, but the COM objects & methods are what's critical. Surely someone here can translate.
This has what I think are several advantages:
The query text is identical to what you wouold type in the Search Bar in Explorer, e.g.'Ext:pdf Content:compressor'
It's easily launched from code and results are easily extracted with code, but SearchResults window is available for visual inspection/review.
With looping & pauses, you can execute a series of searches in the same window.
I think this ability has been sitting there forever, but the MS documentation of the Document object & FilterView method make no mention of how they apply to File Explorer.
I hope others find this useful.
$FolderToSearch = 'c:\Path\To\Folder'
$SearchBoxText = 'ext:pdf Content:compressor'
$Shell = New-Object -ComObject shell.application
### Get handles of currenlty open Explorer Windows
$CurrentWindows = ( $Shell.Windows() | Where FullName -match 'explorer.exe$' ).HWND
$WinCount = $Shell.Windows().Count
$Shell.Open( $FolderToSearch )
Do { Sleep -m 50 } Until ( $Shell.Windows().Count -gt $WinCount )
$WindowToSerch = ( $Shell.Windows() | Where FullName -match 'explorer.exe$' ) | Where { $_.HWND -notIn $CurrentWindows }
$WindowToSearch.Document.FilterView( $SearchBoxText )
Do { Sleep -m 50 } Until ( $WindowToSearch.ReadyState -eq 4 )
### Fully-qualified name:
$FoundFiles = ( $WindowToSearch.Document.Folder.Items() ).Path
### or just the filename:
$FoundFiles = ( $WindowToSearch.Document.Folder.Items() ).Name
### $FoundFIles is an array of strings containing the names.
### The Excel portion I leave to you! :D
Can you please assist with this problem?
Whenever I run this macro, it stops at:

I am maintaining an application that was written in Visual Basic 6.0 and makes use of the several OLE controls with Excel.Sheet.8 class objects. Several users are getting the following error when they reach a point in code that attempts to manipulate the excel objects.
Run-time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set
Below are examples of the code that trigger this error. I believe that the issue happens at:
Set oExcel = oleXl.object
Here are the points in the code where it happens:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim sTempStringA As String
Dim sTempStringB As String
'Set up excel sheet
centerform Me
Set oOutGrid = oleXlOutput.object
...
Private Sub Form_Load()
centerform Me
Set oOtherFx = oleXlFx.object
...
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim iRet As Integer
Dim i As Integer
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
centerform Me
Call InitArray
Me.Caption = "TJUJ | Version " & version & " | Enter Custom Fx"
Set oBook = oleExcel.object
...
Is there a specific situation or environment in which this error would be generated from this line of code OR a way that I can ensure the object will always be accessible at this point in the code?
The error only happens occasionally, and I can't reproduce it on my developer machine at all. I also do not have access to the machines that it is happening on, but it seems to be encountered when there is an instance of the EXCEL.EXE process running.
When you get runtime-error 91, you can bet there's an uninitialized object somewhere in the statement. In other words, you are trying to use the properties or methods of a variable/object with a value of Nothing.
In your examples, oleXl, oleXlFx, and oleExcel are probably Nothing. So when you refer to their .object property, you trigger the RTE.
Somewhere in your code these variables have to be initialized to something. Look for statements like Set oleXl = CreateObject("Excel.Application") or Set oleXl = New Excel.Application
One suggestion; when you find the statements that actually initialize those OLE objects, check to see how the error-handling is coded. If you see things like this:
On Error Resume Next
Set oleXl = CreateObject(...
add a test to make sure the object was instantiated
On Error Resume Next
Set oleXl = CreateObject(...
If oleXl Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Hey, my object is Nothing!"
End If
Microsoft suggests that we can fix error 91 by creating a new registry key. To create a new key follow the steps below.
Click on the Windows Start menu
Type Regedit in the search box
Press Enter
Locate the following entry in the registry. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Transaction Server
Now select the transaction server and right click on it
Select New and then choose Key
Name the key as Debug
Right click on the Debug key and choose New
Now select Key and name the key as RunWithoutContext
