The file is '! The files are very large, sometimes exceeding the 65, row limit, which I could avoid if the data was split out coming in. Thanks abe.
The File Is Locked. Hi all, I've been getting this error on occasion recently. Is there a way, perhaps through VBA, that I can not allow a user to save while somebody else is opening the document? Other suggestions on how to avoid this error? I have workbook in which I want to save a specific worksheet to a new file with only the values saved - all data in this worksheet are references to cells on another worksheet, which is using VLOOKUP to pull data from a database.
Found the following code and it gets me close, but it copies the cell references, not the values. It also allows me to specify the file name from a cell reference. I want the new workbook file to simply be saved, not opened, and a message box to display stating where the file was saved will always be in the same location on the LAN. What modifications do I make to this to get this to work per above requirements?
Range 'B2'. Text Sheets 'Sheet3'. Copy ActiveWorkbook. Workbook A has a cell that gets data from workbook B as an external link. It does this using the indirect function because it needs to concatenate the path and filename from other cells.
So can indirect work using closed external files or must the external files be opened? Is there a clever way of making that work? Do While Ie. I automating a task at work that will save some time. Seems simple enough but for some reason the code I have to cause IE to wait unil ready doesnt seem to work in all cases.
Im using : 'wait until the page loads Do While ie. Busy Or ie. Any other ideas as to how to make IE wait until the page is completely ready? I wondered about possibly checking the. Thanks, Scott. Hey guys, I'm trying to write a macro which prints to PDF and saves the file name as the contents of a cell. I've been looking through all the posts currently on this forum to get something working.
Range 'Z1'. I want the macro to automatically name the file with the contents of cell Z1. I then want it to then automatically press enter. Any ideas where I'm going wrong? Any help would be much appreciated! I have an excel file sitting in a shared network folder.
I only want one user to be able to make changes at a time any other users would get a read-only. For some reason it currently does not do this, and I have multiple users with the same doc open.
I'm concerned that changes will get over-written when 2 people are saving their changes. Can anyone help me with the settings for this.
I have a file that became too big due to phantom bloat, unused range saved by Excel and all that kind of reasons. Thank to previous posts on that board tackling that issue, I was able to find how to proceed to reduce the file back to its normal size. But I did so in a beta file test file. The real file has become so big MB!
The file contains archive info that we do not have anywhere else. Is there anyway then to open the file or to reduce its size without opening it through magics Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Invoke Application. Invoke End Sub. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.

There are times that we have to download an enormous amount of files from an internet location, but the procedure needs substantial time to complete manually. Without a doubt, for few files, this is not a problem, but what if you had to download 50 or more files? How much time are you willing to sacrifice to download all these files?
Until now, I am sure that some of you might wonder if there is a way to automate this routine task and save some time. Below you will find a sample workbook, which takes as input the URLs of the files you want to download. However, in the sample workbook, I have included some error handling if-clauses to avoid illegal characters and invalid file paths.
The VBA code for the primary procedure is given below:. Below is the VBA code of two auxiliary macros for showing the folder picker dialog and cleaning the main sheet to be reused. Note that if you try to download large files or your internet connection is slow, the workbook might take some time to complete the download.
However, in any case, the message box at the end of the procedure will inform you that the downloading has finished. The short video below shows how the sample workbook is used to download two files from Dropbox. Motivated by some emails that I received from various blog readers, I decided to develop another version of the sample workbook. As the above image shows, the updated version allows the user to define a file name for the downloaded file.
However, apart from the file names, the user should also define and the file extensions ; for example, Test. The user then will have to add the extensions manually. The zip file contains both workbook versions the old and the updated ones. Why don't you just download it from the internet? Sometimes our VB Applications needs to interact with websites. Downloading a file through a url is a typical example. Here below is a code which you can use to download a file through a url.
I periodically download large zip files from a website, and I would like to automate the process in VBA.
