VBA windows to mac - macos

I made a code on my Windows PC, have multiple macro's/VBA's but made the file for somebody with an Mac.
not sure where to start with adjusting code, but has anyone a clue how the following problems are caused, this will help me with finding a solution.. I probably used windows specific components..
if somebody can push me in the right direction, it would be great.. Have found a few topics:
http://www.vbaexpress.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-12976.html
and this one probably has the solution for my PDF problem:
Excel VBA code to work on Mac, Create PDF Function
Problem 1: colomnwidth doesn't work:

thanks

There shouldn't be an issue with the first part+ as it's nothing specific to windows, for the second part - you're using "\" as the path separator for the PDF file, on a Mac this is typically ":"
To make the code compatible for both, use the application value instead:
strFile = ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & strFile

Saving an Excel File as PDF on both Windows and Mac

I have created a macro to export my sheet as a PDF however some users in the company use Mac OS. When these users attempt to save, it gives them an error. How do I allow both Win and Mac users to use the same PDF export?
Here is my current code:
Sub CreatePDF()
Dim wksSheet As Worksheet
Set wksSheet = ActiveSheet
wksSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & Range("exportName"), Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:= _
False
End Sub
VBA has Application.PathSeparator as well.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff820973%28v=office.15%29.aspx
I was unable to find the answer to this on SO, but came across this workaround to share:
Sub CreatePDF()
Dim wksSheet As Worksheet
Dim TheOS As String
TheOS = Application.OperatingSystem
If InStr(1, TheOS, "Windows") > 0 Then
Set wksSheet = ActiveSheet
wksSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & Range("exportName"), Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:= _
False
Exit Sub
Else
Set wksSheet = ActiveSheet
wksSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
ThisWorkbook.Path & ":" & Range("exportName"), Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:= _
False
Exit Sub
End If

Excel VB Open File OSX and Windows

I've got a spreadsheet that uses some basic code to get the user to select a file (txt file). It works flawlessly on Windows but fails on OSX obviously due to the difference in FileDialog calls. I've done some research though and can't seem to find much information about opening a File Dialog on both OSX and Windows for Excel/VB.
The current code is,
FileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename _
(Title:="Please choose a file to import", _
FileFilter:="Excel Files *.xls (*.xls),")
''
If FileToOpen = False Then
MsgBox "No file specified.", vbExclamation, "Duh!!!"
Exit Sub
Else
Workbooks.Open Filename:=FileToOpen
End If

VB6: Using Acrobat Type Library to merge PDFs in VB6

I have inherited a VB6 program that uses Crystal Reports 8.5 to run reports & then export the output to a PDF. It then uses the Adobe Acrobat 5.0 Type Library to merge the resulting PDFs into a single PDF document. Our problem is that we need to upgrade the Acrobat 5.0 Type Library but it appears that the most current version of Acrobat doesn’t provide a type library that will work with VB6. Does anyone know the most recent version of Acrobat that is supported within VB6? Also, does anyone have any suggestions of how this can be upgraded without upgrading the entire application to .Net? Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.
I'd shell out to pdftk. Example from the man page:
Merge Two or More PDFs into a New Document
pdftk 1.pdf 2.pdf 3.pdf cat output 123.pdf
Note that if your app is distributed and non-GPL you'll need a commercial license for it, but it's only $24 at the moment.
I had this same requirement 15 years ago and created a mod in vb6 to do just that:
modMergePDF
Public Function MergePDFFiles
I recently updated the code to handle Acrobat 10.0 Type Library, so you would need to install the latest as of 8/1/2020, Acrobat DC Pro, to...
Use the below code
Use the compiled MergePDF.exe
Also, the mod adds bookmarks using the file names of the many PDF, with scrub code to
get rid of some ugly file names (you may have to expound upon that if you need to
scrub the file names to bookmark names), into the single pdf file.
Also included a function to generate batch file code:
Public Function BuildBatchFileCode
to call the MergePDF.exe passing in a command
line which consists of the Many pdf directory and the single pdf merged file directory
and file name. You can also pass in a flag to sort CaseSensitive (Any Capitalized
file names will sort above lowercase) and you can pass in another flag to maintain the .pdf extension in the bookmark name.
Find the MergePDF.exe on git up with all supporting code here:
https://github.com/Brad-Skidmore/MergePDF
Note: the error handling refers to goUtil.utErrorLog you can also find that on GitHub or you can replace it with your own error handling.

Transfering windows-specific macro to run on Mac Excel

I've recently changed from a PC to a Mac. I run a lot of a macros and 99% of them are running fine, but I have one that doesn't work on a Mac.
It runs a set of other macros across all workbooks in a file. To do this it uses strings like this:
Function BrowseFolder(Title As String, _
Optional InitialFolder As String = vbNullString, _
Optional InitialView As Office.MsoFileDialogView = _
msoFileDialogViewList) As String
When I try to run this on the Mac it comes back with an error:
"compile error: variable not defined"
I wonder if anyone could help me with porting this macro over to run on Mac. It was built on Excel 2007 Windows and I'm trying to run it on Excel 2011 Mac.
Option Explicit
Function GetFolder(Optional strPath As String) As String
Dim fldr As FileDialog
Dim sItem As String
Set fldr = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
With fldr
.Title = "Select a Folder"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
If Not IsEmpty(strPath) Then
.InitialFileName = strPath
End If
If .Show <> -1 Then GoTo NextCode
sItem = .SelectedItems(1)
End With
NextCode:
GetFolder = sItem
Set fldr = Nothing
End Function
Private Sub test()
Dim v As Variant
'V = GetFolder()
v = BrowseFolder("Select folder")
End Sub
Function BrowseFolder(Title As String, _
Optional InitialFolder As String = vbNullString, _
Optional InitialView As Office.MsoFileDialogView = _
msoFileDialogViewList) As String
Dim v As Variant
Dim InitFolder As String
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.Title = Title
.InitialView = InitialView
If Len(InitialFolder) > 0 Then
If Dir(InitialFolder, vbDirectory) <> vbNullString Then
InitFolder = InitialFolder
If Right(InitFolder, 1) <> "\" Then
InitFolder = InitFolder & "\"
End If
.InitialFileName = InitFolder
End If
End If
.Show
On Error Resume Next
Err.Clear
v = .SelectedItems(1)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
v = vbNullString
End If
End With
BrowseFolder = CStr(v)
End Function
msoFileDialogViewList refers to a specific view of the Windows standard file dialog. The Mac standard file dialog doesn't have equivalent modes; my guess is that the InitialView parameter either doesn't exist or is ignored on the Mac platform.
I'd advise either removing the parameter entirely or using the equivalent integer value (1) instead of the symbolic name.

Finding what is different from VB(MSVisualStudio 2005) and VBA(Excel)

I found code online for something I wanted to do.
As usual, I fired it up in Visual Studio and it works no problem.
The problem occurs in that, when I try to port it over to Excel, it ceases to work.
As I understand, VBA is a watered down version of VB. (Based on reading this article:
Difference between Visual Basic 6.0 and VBA)
Therefore, how to I find out what is lost between going between the two programming environments?
To give a bit more detail:
I wrote a program in Visual Studio that sends me an email when I press a button.
I then tried to port it into Excel as a Macro, but that didn't work.
EDIT: Adeed additional problem information
Here is what I have in Visual Studio
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
CDO_Mail_Small_Text()

Dim strbody As String

End With
End Sub

Here is what I have running in Excel:

Dim iMsg As Object
Dim iConf As Object
Dim strbody As String
Dim Flds As Object

.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.From = """Ron"" <ron#something.nl>"
.Subject = "Important message"
.TextBody = strbody
.Send
End With
End Sub
The not working is a:
"Run-time error '91':
Object variable or With block variable not set"
When I debug it takes me to the following line:
"iMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")"
Cheers,

VBA is a compile-on-the-fly version of Classic VB. I always thought of it as sorta halfway between Full VB 6.0 and vb script. The key is you only have access to the basic VB 6.0 libraries and other COM libraries. Because many good com libraries are almost always available (like Scripting, ADO 2.6, the Office libraries like Excel and Word, etc.) this was actually very powerful.
However this is not .NET, and you have no access to .NET libraries whatsoever. When you say Visual Studio, do you mean Visual Studio 6.0? If you're copying code from VS.NET to Excel, that has no chance of working. But if you're copying code from VS6 (or earlier) to Excel VBA, you should be able to get that working. You probably just need to reference a library you were referencing in VS. We would need more information and of course the error.
In VB6/VBA you need to use the SET statement when working with objects
Set iMsg = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
Set iConf = CreateObject("CDO.Configuration")
Can't attest to the differences in code, but the following link has great examples of sending email in VBA. Might help you figure out what is going wrong.
