I'm having a problem that has me stumped. After I copy a table from a PPTX file and paste it t another file and try to repsosition it, it fails. THe two message boxes after that are not working
here's the code and thanks in advance
Option Private Module

Sub InsertTable(n As Integer)
Dim CurWindow As DocumentWindow
Dim SourceWindow As DocumentWindow

You are running this from Word and automating PowerPoint using early binding, you need to fully qualify any PowerPoint reference.
Have you added a reference to PowerPoint library.
Change to aShape As PowerPoint.Shape
Grab the reference to the running instance of PowerPoint. PowerPoint is single instance multi-use so you can use this.
Dim PPT as PowerPoint.Application
Set PPT = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")
Fully qualify all references to ActivePresentation with PPT.ActivePresentation
Your macro should run then and generate something so that you can continue debugging.
I have a problem - instances of Excel and Word behave differently in the same procedure. Have a look at the code. The idea there is to have a procedure that handles resaving files in excel and word in various format combinations.
The problem is that I notice that word and excel behave differently - the appWord and appExcel have different type names. At some point appWord is changed from Application to Object, which then makes it impossible to close it. I don't understand the differences in the behaviour, since the code applied to them is identical.
Option Explicit
Dim fso
Dim appWord
Dim appExcel
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
startWord
ResaveFiles appWord.Documents, "docx", 12, 0
appWord.quit
startExcel
ResaveFiles appExcel.Workbooks, "xlsx", 51, 56
appExcel.quit
MsgBox "All done."
Sub ResaveFiles(appType, srcExtName, srcExtNum, tmpExtNum)
Dim objFile
Dim objOpenFile
Dim strDirectory
For Each objFile in fso.GetFolder(".").Files
If lcase(fso.GetExtensionName(objFile)) = srcExtName Then
If typeName(appType) = "Documents" Then StartWord
If typeName(appType) = "Workbooks" Then StartExcel
Set objOpenFile = appType.Open(objFile.path)
strDirectory = fso.BuildPath(objOpenFile.path, fso.GetBaseName(objOpenFile.name) & "._temp")
objOpenFile.SaveAs strDirectory, tmpExtNum
objOpenFile.Close
msgBox typename(appType) & objFile
msgBox typename(appWord) 'First typename test
msgBox Typename(appExcel)
If typeName(appType) = "Documents" Then appWord.Quit
If typeName(appType) = "Workbooks" Then appExcel.Quit
set objOpenFile = appType.Open(strDirectory)
objOpenFile.SaveAs objFile.path, srcExtNum
objOpenFile.Close
fso.DeleteFile(strDirectory)
msgBox typename(appWord) 'Second typename test
msgBox Typename(appExcel)
End If
Next
End Sub
'Start Word
Sub StartWord
Set appWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
appWord.visible = false
appWord.DisplayAlerts = false
End Sub
'Start Excel
Sub StartExcel
Set appExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
appExcel.visible = false
appExcel.DisplayAlerts = false
End Sub
I have tested it in the following way (with two typename tests) - when there are word files available, first appWord is Application and appExcel is empty, then it changes to Object and appExcel stays Empty (in this case we get an error when the subprocedure ends at AppWord.Quit). When there are no word files, and the script is processing Excels, first appWord is Object and appExcel is Application, then appWord is still Object and appExcel is still Application - in this case there are no errors when the subprocedure ends, on the appExcel.Quit.
Maybe i'm wrong, just my opinion:
If typeName(appType) = "Documents" Then appWord.Quit
If typeName(appType) = "Workbooks" Then appExcel.Quit
set objOpenFile = appType.Open(strDirectory)
appType is a reference to what appWord.Documents or appExcel.Workbooks are referencing before entering your ResaveFiles Sub, where you instantiate a new copy of 'Excel.Application' or 'Word.Application', and in each of the cases, you instruct the application TO QUIT. The question is not why in the case of word you got an error. From my point of view YOU SHOULD got an error. The question is why, if instructed to quit, excel keeps open and maintaining references to handle your code.

I have an Excel file which includes pictures in column B and I want like to export them into several files as .jpg (or any other picture file format). The name of the file should be generated from text in column A. I tried following VBA macro:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim oTxt As Object
For Each cell In Ark1.Range("A1:A" & Ark1.UsedRange.Rows.Count)
' you can change the sheet1 to your own choice
saveText = cell.Text
Open "H:\Webshop_Zpider\Strukturbildene\" & saveText & ".jpg" For Output As #1
Print #1, cell.Offset(0, 1).text
Close #1
Next cell
End Sub
The result is that it generates files (jpg), without any content. I assume the line Print #1, cell.Offset(0, 1).text. is wrong.
I don't know what I need to change it into, cell.Offset(0, 1).pix?
Can anybody help me? Thanks!
If i remember correctly, you need to use the "Shapes" property of your sheet.
Each Shape object has a TopLeftCell and BottomRightCell attributes that tell you the position of the image.
Here's a piece of code i used a while ago, roughly adapted to your needs. I don't remember the specifics about all those ChartObjects and whatnot, but here it is:
For Each oShape In ActiveSheet.Shapes
strImageName = ActiveSheet.Cells(oShape.TopLeftCell.Row, 1).Value
oShape.Select
'Picture format initialization
Selection.ShapeRange.PictureFormat.Contrast = 0.5: Selection.ShapeRange.PictureFormat.Brightness = 0.5: Selection.ShapeRange.PictureFormat.ColorType = msoPictureAutomatic: Selection.ShapeRange.PictureFormat.TransparentBackground = msoFalse: Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.Visible = msoFalse: Selection.ShapeRange.Line.Visible = msoFalse: Selection.ShapeRange.Rotation = 0#: Selection.ShapeRange.PictureFormat.CropLeft = 0#: Selection.ShapeRange.PictureFormat.CropRight = 0#: Selection.ShapeRange.PictureFormat.CropTop = 0#: Selection.ShapeRange.PictureFormat.CropBottom = 0#: Selection.ShapeRange.ScaleHeight 1#, msoTrue, msoScaleFromTopLeft: Selection.ShapeRange.ScaleWidth 1#, msoTrue, msoScaleFromTopLeft
'/Picture format initialization
Application.Selection.CopyPicture
Set oDia = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Add(0, 0, oShape.Width, oShape.Height)
Set oChartArea = oDia.Chart
oDia.Activate
With oChartArea
.ChartArea.Select
.Paste
.Export ("H:\Webshop_Zpider\Strukturbildene\" & strImageName & ".jpg")
End With
oDia.Delete 'oChartArea.Delete
Next
This code:
Option Explicit
Sub ExportMyPicture()
Dim MyChart As String, MyPicture As String
Dim PicWidth As Long, PicHeight As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error GoTo Finish
MyPicture = Selection.Name

was copied directly from here, and works beautifully for the cases I tested.

Slimmed down the code to the absolute minimum if needed.
New versions of excel have made old answers obsolete. It took a long time to make this, but it does a pretty good job. Note that the maximum image size is limited and the aspect ratio is ever so slightly off, as I was not able to perfectly optimize the reshaping math. Note that I've named one of my worksheets wsTMP, you can replace it with Sheet1 or the like. Takes about 1 second to print the screenshot to target path.

Thanks for the ideas! I used the above ideas to make a macro to do a bulk file conversion--convert every file of one format in a folder to another format.
This code requires a sheet with cells named "FilePath" (which must end in a "\"), "StartExt" (original file extension), and "EndExt" (desired file extension). Warning: it doesn't ask for confirmation before replacing existing files with the same name and extension.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim path As String
Dim pathExt As String
Dim file As String
Dim oldExt As String
Dim newExt As String
Dim newFile As String
Dim shp As Picture
Dim chrt As ChartObject
Dim chrtArea As Chart
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
'Get settings entered by user
path = Range("FilePath")
oldExt = Range("StartExt")
pathExt = path & "*." & oldExt
newExt = Range("EndExt")
file = Dir(pathExt)
Do While Not file = "" 'cycle through all images in folder of selected format
Set shp = ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(path & file) 'Import image
newFile = Replace(file, "." & oldExt, "." & newExt) 'Determine new file name
Set chrt = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Add(0, 0, shp.Width, shp.Height) 'Create blank chart for embedding image
Set chrtArea = chrt.Chart
shp.CopyPicture 'Copy image to clipboard
With chrtArea 'Paste image to chart, then export
.ChartArea.Select
.Paste
.Export (path & newFile)
End With
chrt.Delete 'Delete chart

file = Dir 'Advance to next file

Here is another cool way to do it- using en external viewer that accepts command line switches (IrfanView in this case) :
* I based the loop on what Michal Krzych has written above.
Sub ExportPicturesToFiles()
Const saveSceenshotTo As String = "C:\temp\"
Const pictureFormat As String = ".jpg"
Dim pic As Shape
Dim sFileName As String
Dim i As Long
i = 1
For Each pic In ActiveSheet.Shapes
pic.Copy
sFileName = saveSceenshotTo & Range("A" & i).Text & pictureFormat
Call ExportPicWithIfran(sFileName)
i = i + 1
Next
End Sub
Public Sub ExportPicWithIfran(sSaveAsPath As String)
Const sIfranPath As String = "C:\Program Files\IrfanView\i_view32.exe"
Dim sRunIfran As String
sRunIfran = sIfranPath & " /clippaste /convert=" & _
sSaveAsPath & " /killmesoftly"
' Shell is no good here. If you have more than 1 pic, it will
' mess things up (pics will over run other pics, becuase Shell does
' not make vba wait for the script to finish).
' Shell sRunIfran, vbHide
' Correct way (it will now wait for the batch to finish):
call MyShell(sRunIfran )
End Sub
Edit:

We want to upgrade our VB6 code to use Outlook 2010, but we're getting the following error:
Active x cannot create object
This is our current code:
Public Sub SendEmail()
Set emailOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application.12")
Set emailNameSpace = emailOutlookApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set emailFolder = emailNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set emailItem = emailOutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set EmailRecipient = emailItem.Recipients
EmailRecipient.Add (EmailAddress)
EmailRecipient.Add (EmailAddress2)
emailItem.Importance = olImportanceHigh
emailItem.Subject = "My Subject"
emailItem.Body = "The Body"
'-----Send the Email-----'
emailItem.Save
emailItem.Send
'-----Clear out the memory space held by variables-----'
Set emailNameSpace = Nothing
Set emailFolder = Nothing
Set emailItem = Nothing
Set emailOutlookApp = Nothing
Exit Sub
I'm not sure if "Outlook.Application.12" is correct. But I can't find a definitive answer for this.
For Outlook 2010, this is definitly corect Outlook.Application.14.
But, I don't know what about office 2007.
I think it's Outlook.Application.12 and for lower versions it is simply "Outlook.Application".
Here's the code I switched to for 2010:

Why do you explicitly specify the version? Why not simply
Set emailOutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Try "Outlook.Application.14". Not sure if this is related though: 2007 to 2010 upgrade issue
I realize it's not the exact issue, but it may lead you down the right path.
I would like to add a Control and an associated event at runtime in Excel using VBA but I don't know how to add the events.
I tried the code below and the Button is correctly created in my userform but the associated click event that should display the hello message is not working.
Any advice/correction would be welcome.
Dim Butn As CommandButton
Set Butn = UserForm1.Controls.Add("Forms.CommandButton.1")
With Butn
.Name = "CommandButton1"
.Caption = "Click me to get the Hello Message"
.Width = 100
.Top = 10
End With
With ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("UserForm1.CommandButton1").CodeModule
Line = .CountOfLines
.InsertLines Line + 1, "Sub CommandButton1_Click()"
.InsertLines Line + 2, "MsgBox ""Hello!"""
.InsertLines Line + 3, "End Sub"
End With
UserForm1.Show
The code for adding a button at runtime and then to add events is truly as simple as it is difficult to find out. I can say that because I have spent more time on this perplexity and got irritated more than in anything else I ever programmed.
Create a Userform and put in the following code:
Option Explicit
Dim ButArray() As New Class2
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim ctlbut As MSForms.CommandButton
Dim butTop As Long, i As Long
'~~> Decide on the .Top for the 1st TextBox
butTop = 30
For i = 1 To 10
Set ctlbut = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.CommandButton.1", "butTest" & i)
'~~> Define the TextBox .Top and the .Left property here
ctlbut.Top = butTop: ctlbut.Left = 50
ctlbut.Caption = Cells(i, 7).Value
'~~> Increment the .Top for the next TextBox
butTop = butTop + 20
ReDim Preserve ButArray(1 To i)
Set ButArray(i).butEvents = ctlbut
Next
End Sub
Now you need to add a Class Module to your code for the project. Please remember it's class module, not Standard Module.
The Object butEvents is the button that was clicked.
Put in the following simple code (in my case the class name is Class2).
Public WithEvents butEvents As MSForms.CommandButton
Private Sub butEvents_click()
MsgBox "Hi Shrey from " & butEvents.Caption
End Sub
That's it. Now run it!
Try this:
Sub AddButtonAndShow()
Dim Butn As CommandButton
Dim Line As Long
Dim objForm As Object
Set objForm = ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("UserForm1")
Set Butn = objForm.Designer.Controls.Add("Forms.CommandButton.1")
With Butn
.Name = "CommandButton1"
.Caption = "Click me to get the Hello Message"
.Width = 100
.Top = 10
End With
With objForm.CodeModule
Line = .CountOfLines
.InsertLines Line + 1, "Sub CommandButton1_Click()"
.InsertLines Line + 2, "MsgBox ""Hello!"""
.InsertLines Line + 3, "End Sub"
End With
VBA.UserForms.Add(objForm.Name).Show
End Sub
This permanently modifies UserForm1 (assuming you save your workbook). If you wanted a temporary userform, then add a new userform instead of setting it to UserForm1. You can then delete the form once you're done with it.
Chip Pearson has some great info about coding the VBE.
DaveShaw, thx for this code man!
I have used it for a togglebutton array (put a 'thumbnail-size' picture called trainer.jpg in the same folder as the excel file for a togglebutton with a picture in it). In the 'click' event the invoker is also available (by the object name as a string)
In the form:
Dim CreateTrainerToggleButtonArray() As New ToggleButtonClass
Private Sub CreateTrainerToggleButton(top As Integer, id As Integer)
Dim pathToPicture As String
pathToPicture = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\trainer.jpg"
Dim idString As String
idString = "TrainerToggleButton" & id
Dim cCont As MSForms.ToggleButton
Set cCont = Me.Controls.Add _
("Forms.ToggleButton.1")
With cCont
.Name = idString
.Width = 20
.Height = 20
.Left = 6
.top = top
.picture = LoadPicture(pathToPicture)
End With
ReDim Preserve CreateTrainerToggleButtonArray(1 To id)
Set CreateTrainerToggleButtonArray(id).ToggleButtonEvents = cCont
CreateTrainerToggleButtonArray(id).ObjectName = idString
End Sub
and a class "ToggleButtonClass"
Public WithEvents ToggleButtonEvents As MSForms.ToggleButton
Public ObjectName As String
Private Sub ToggleButtonEvents_click()
MsgBox "DaveShaw is the man... <3 from your friend: " & ObjectName
End Sub
Now just simple call from UserForm_Initialize
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim index As Integer
For index = 1 To 10
Call CreateTrainerToggleButton(100 + (25 * index), index)
Next index
End Sub
This was my solution to add a commandbutton and code without using classes
It adds a reference to allow access to vbide
Adds the button
Then writes a function to handle the click event in the worksheet
Sub AddButton()
Call addref
Set rng = DestSh.Range("B" & x + 3)
'Set btn = DestSh.Buttons.Add(rng.Left, rng.Top, rng.Width, rng.Height)
Set myButton = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.CommandButton.1", Left:=rng.Left, Top:=rng.Top, Height:=rng.Height * 3, Width:=rng.Width * 3)
DoEvents
With myButton
'.Placement = XlPlacement.xlFreeFloating
.Object.Caption = "Export"
.Name = "BtnExport"
.Object.PicturePosition = 1
.Object.Font.Size = 14
End With
Stop
myButton.Object.Picture = LoadPicture("F:\Finalised reports\Templates\Macros\evolution48.bmp")
Call CreateButtonEvent
End Sub
Sub addref()

End With

Exit Sub

An easy way to do it:
1 - Insert a class module and write this code:
Public WithEvents ChkEvents As MSForms.CommandButton
Private Sub ChkEvents_click()
MsgBox ("Click Event")
End Sub
2 - Insert a userform and write this code:
Dim Chk As New Clase1
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim NewCheck As MSForms.CommandButton
Set NewCheck = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.CommandButton.1")
NewCheck.Caption = "Prueba"
Set Chk.ChkEvents = NewCheck
End Sub
Now show the form and click the button
I think the code needs to be added to the Userform, not to the button itself.
So something like
With UserForm1.CodeModule
'Insert code here
End With
In place of your With ThisWorkbook
