CurrentRegion.Select and Table format in VBS - vbscript

I'm very new (1 week) to visual basic and basically I'm trying to automate some repetitive work, now to the point , within a number of files produced with varying data I need to format the selected range as a table (medium 9) but i'm in a block at the moment and need some help and would really appreciate it, here is what i have so far>>>>
Option Explicit
Dim strDate, strRepDate, strPath, strPathRaw , strDate2
dim dteTemp, dteDay, dteMth, dteYear, newDate, myDate
myDate = Date()
dteTemp = DateAdd("D", -1, myDate)
dteDay = DatePart("D", dteTemp)
dteMth = DatePart("M", dteTemp)
dteYear = DatePart("YYYY", dteTemp)
If (Len(dteDay) = 1) Then dteDay = "0" & dteDay
If (Len(dteMth) = 1) Then dteMth = "0" & dteMth
strDate = dteYear&"-"&dteMth&"-"&dteDay
strDate2 = dteYear&""&dteMth&""&dteDay
Dim objXLApp, objXLWb, objXLWs
Set objXLApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set objXLWb = objXLApp.Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\CuRrY\Desktop\"&strDate2&"\Agent Daily Disposition "&strDate2&".xls")
objXLApp.Application.Visible = True
'start excell
Set objXLWs = objXLWb.Sheets(1)
'objXLWs.Cells(Row, Column ).Value
With objXLWs
objXLWs.Cells(3, 1).Value = "Agent Name"
'objXLWs.Range("A3").Select
objXLWs.Range("A3").CurrentRegion.Select
'End With
as you can see i reached as far as CurrentRegion.Select but how to format selected cells into (medium 9) i've tried so much and failed
Thanks for any help

You can configure the CurrentRegion(which represents a Range object) through the SpecialCells Submethod. Although your conditions are specific to your xls sheet, you will still have to follow the formatting available through the specialcells() method properties. Also, by utilizing the currentregion property, the page assumes you have a xls header. So it is important to verify your table structure before trying to incorporate this property.
For instance:
Sub FillIn()
Range("A1").CurrentRegion.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).FormulaR1C1 _
= "=R[-1]C"
Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Value = Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Value
End Sub

vbscript to dynamically update the excel cell range,when source data is updated and refresh the pivot table simultaneously

I have an excel workbook consisting of a source data and a pivot table.
the source data gets updated with new records daily along with some changes in the existing data.
I have written a vbscript in notepad and saved it with .vbs and I am calling it from Rstudio to perform the refresh pivot table action.
But,when I run this script in Rstuido :
pathofvbscript = ("D:\\Users\\703225799\\WIP\\R\\pivot\\r5.vbs")
shell(shQuote(normalizePath(pathofvbscript)),"cscript",flag =
"//nologo")
I am getting the following error :

Please try using Pivot_Sheet.Range("A1") instead of objWB.Range("A1") as the worksheet object is Pivot_sheet

Visual Basic Compare Files Task

I currently have this code that will compare between two files only if each file has one column:
Const ForReading = 1
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile1 = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Users\Downloads\Define Kickouts\Metadata_Account.txt", ForReading)
strCurrentDevices = objFile1.ReadAll
objFile1.Close
Set objFile2 = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Users\Downloads\Define Kickouts\DataFile_Account.txt", ForReading)
Do Until objFile2.AtEndOfStream
strAddress = objFile2.ReadLine
If InStr(strCurrentDevices, strAddress) = 0 Then
strNotCurrent = strNotCurrent & strAddress & vbCrLf
End If
Loop
objFile2.Close
Wscript.Echo "Addresses without current devices: " & vbCrLf & strNotCurrent
Set objFile3 = objFSO.CreateTextFile("C:\Users\Downloads\Define Kickouts\Differences.txt")
objFile3.WriteLine strNotCurrent
objFile3.Close
However, I'm trying to figure out a way to create the script where the user can define which columns in the date file to compare against the same set of metadata files.
For example, in the data file, if we want to compare Account, Entity, and Department members, in the script, we would type in columns 1, 4, 5 based on the position in the headers...
Account, Project, Practice, Entity, Department
GL1000,P5000,PP2000,USA,D120
GL2000,P6000,PP3000,CANADA,D220
Then, the script will compare 'always' against the first column in each metadata file...
Account.csv
First column sample values:
GL5000,blah,blah,blah
GL1000,blah,blah,blah
Entity.csv
First column sample values:
ASIA,blah,blah,blah
CANADA,blah,blah,blah
Department.csv
First column sample values:
D100,blah,blah,blah
D200,blah,blah,blah
The output file will have kick-outs from the data file that aren't in the metadata files for each column.
Account Kickout.txt
GL2000
Entity Kickout.txt
USA
Department Kickout.txt
D120
D220
Any help would be appreciated!

Populate and sort a ComboBox from another ComboBox, VBA

Hi Everyone I am having trouble getting a ComboBox to sort, when another combobox is selected.
I think I have the Right SQL Syntax but I cant seem to get the vba to run it through; currently the vba returns all of the states in the recordset regardless of the company.
Private Sub CboCountry_Click()
Set db = CurrentDb
Dim SQLStr As String
Set RsState = db.OpenRecordset("T2States", dbOpenSnapshot, dbSeeChanges)
'populates combobox with recordset, that is defined by the country input from the form
RsState.MoveFirst
Do While Not RsState.EOF
Me.CboState.RowSource = Me.CboState.RowSource & RsState("StateID") & ";" & RsState("State") & ";"
RsState.MoveNext
Loop
I think this is the right SQL String but I'm having trouble to get it to work.
'SQLStr = "SELECT T2States.StateID, T2States.States, T2States.CountryID" & _
" FROM T2States GROUP BY T2States.StatesID" & _
" WHERE T2States.CountryID = """ & Me.CboCountry.Value & """"
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Edit#1
See Full Code below, the error that pops up when I substitute SQLStr into the Openrecordset is a Run-time error '3078' the microsoft access database engine cannot find the input table or query 'SQLStr'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly.
What should happen is when a country is selected from CboCountry combobox, it will load the CboState combobox by sorting the recordset by CountryID
see below for both code parts
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set db = CurrentDb
Set RsCompany = db.OpenRecordset("T1Company", dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges)
Set RsCountry = db.OpenRecordset("T2Countries", dbOpenSnapshot, dbSeeChanges)
Set RsAddress = db.OpenRecordset("T1Addresses", dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges)
Set RsAddressType = db.OpenRecordset("T2AddressType", dbOpenSnapshot, dbSeeChanges)
Set RsCompanyAddress = db.OpenRecordset("T3Company_Address", dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges)
Me.CboCountry = Null
Me.TxtAddress1 = Null
Me.TxtAddress2 = Null
Me.TxtAddress3 = Null
Me.TxtCity = Null
Me.CboAddressType = Null
Me.CboCountry = Null
Me.CboState = Null
Me.TxtPostalCode = Null
Me.TxtCompanyID = Null
Me.TxtLegalName = Null
Me.TxtNickname = Null
Me.TxtAddressID = Null
RsCountry.MoveFirst
Do While Not RsCountry.EOF
Me.CboCountry.RowSource = Me.CboCountry.RowSource & RsCountry("CountryID") & ";" & RsCountry("Country") & ";"
RsCountry.MoveNext
Loop
RsAddressType.MoveFirst
Do While Not RsAddressType.EOF
Me.CboAddressType.RowSource = Me.CboAddressType.RowSource & RsAddressType("AddressTypeID") & ";" & RsAddressType("AddressType") & ";"
RsAddressType.MoveNext
Loop
Me.TxtLegalName.SetFocus
End Sub
Private Sub CboCountry_Click()
Set db = CurrentDb
Dim SQLStr As String
'SQLStr = "SELECT T2States.StateID, T2States.State, T2States.CountryID" & _
" FROM T2States" & _
" WHERE T2States.CountryID = """ & Me.CboCountry.Value & """"
Set RsState = db.OpenRecordset("T2States", dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges)
'populates combobox with recordset, that is defined by the country input from the form
RsState.MoveFirst
Do While Not RsState.EOF
Me.CboState.RowSource = Me.CboState.RowSource & RsState("StateID") & ";" & RsState("State") & ";"
RsState.MoveNext
Loop
End Sub
Let us see
1- sure you've to append with
Having T2States.States, T2States.CountryID
2- Error exist in it, extra 's' in the Column name:
GROUP BY T2States.StatesID
3- put all the code and i'll check with you what you miss.
best regards
This one turned out to be a quick fix in the Property Sheet under the DATA tab, the Row Source Type had to be changed back to 'Table/Query' from a 'Value'.
There is VBA that could account for this but it was just a simple as changing that Row Source.
The Reason for the mix up, for a quick bit of background if it helps, is that all my combo boxes are unbound and I was binding them with VBA Recordsets so the rowsource has to be a value list - Essentially the VBA is writing the list everytime it loads.
Where as when I started using SQL to generate the recordset, even though it was in VBA I had to change the property back to Table/Query.
Thanks.

Access 2010 - Run-time error 3022

I'm trying to add records to an exisiting table called "Topics" (section as of "For Each SelectedTopic In SelectedTopicsCtl.ItemsSelected" in the code below).
When executing the code i always get "Run-time error '3022': The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. So it goes wrong at the creation of the Autonumber in the field "ID" (= the only field that is indexed - no duplicates).
When debugging, line "TopicRecord.Update" in the code below is highlighted.
I have read several posts on this topic on this forum and on other forums but still cannot get this to work - i must be overlooking something....
Private Sub Copy_Click()
Dim JournalEntrySourceRecord, JournalEntryDestinationRecord, TopicRecord As Recordset
Dim JournalEntryToCopyFromCtl, JournalEntryToCopyToCtl, JournalEntryDateCreatedCtl, SelectedTopicsCtl As Control
Dim Counter, intI As Integer
Dim SelectedTopic, varItm As Variant
Set JournalEntryToCopyFromCtl = Forms![Copy Journal Entry]!JournalEntryToCopyFrom
Set JournalEntryToCopyToCtl = Forms![Copy Journal Entry]!JournalEntryToCopyTo
Set JournalEntryDateCreatedCtl = Forms![Copy Journal Entry]!JournalEntryDateCreated
Set JournalEntrySourceRecord = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Select * from JournalEntries where ID=" & JournalEntryToCopyFromCtl.Value)
Set JournalEntryDestinationRecord = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Select * from JournalEntries where ID=" & JournalEntryToCopyToCtl.Value)
Set SelectedTopicsCtl = Forms![Copy Journal Entry]!TopicsToCopy
Set TopicRecord = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Topics", dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges)
With JournalEntryDestinationRecord
.Edit
.Fields("InitiativeID") = JournalEntrySourceRecord.Fields("InitiativeID")
.Fields("DateCreated") = JournalEntryDateCreatedCtl.Value
.Fields("Comment") = JournalEntrySourceRecord.Fields("Comment")
.Fields("Active") = "True"
.Fields("InternalOnly") = JournalEntrySourceRecord.Fields("InternalOnly")
.Fields("Confidential") = JournalEntrySourceRecord.Fields("Confidential")
.Update
.Close
End With
JournalEntrySourceRecord.Close
Set JournalEntrySourceRecord = Nothing
Set JournalEntryDestinationRecord = Nothing
For Each SelectedTopic In SelectedTopicsCtl.ItemsSelected
TopicRecord.AddNew
For Counter = 3 To SelectedTopicsCtl.ColumnCount - 1
TopicRecord.Fields(Counter) = SelectedTopicsCtl.Column(Counter, SelectedTopic)
Next Counter
TopicRecord.Fields("JournalEntryID") = JournalEntryToCopyToCtl.Value
TopicRecord.Fields("DateCreated") = JournalEntryDateCreatedCtl.Value
TopicRecord.Update
Next SelectedTopic
TopicRecord.Close
Set TopicRecord = Nothing
End Sub
First, your Dims won't work as you expect. Use:
Dim JournalEntrySourceRecord As Recordset
Dim JournalEntryDestinationRecord As Recordset
Dim TopicRecord As Recordset
Second, it looks like you get your ID included here:
TopicRecord.Fields(Counter)
or Topic is a query that includes it somehow. Try to specify the fields specifically and/or debug like this:
For Counter = 3 To SelectedTopicsCtl.ColumnCount - 1
TopicRecord.Fields(Counter).Value = SelectedTopicsCtl.Column(Counter, SelectedTopic)
Debug.Print Counter, TopicRecord.Fields(Counter).Name
Next Counter

Copy one Recordset to another

Since I received so nice and fast solution to my problem, I will try again to get some help from you:
I opened two Recordsets.
Set cmd1.ActiveConnection = cn1
cmd1.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM mov Where [Date] >= #" & DateA & "#;"
Set RSold = cmd1.Execute
Set cmd2.ActiveConnection = cn2
cmd2.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM mov"
Set RSnew = cmd2.Execute
(I want to save only selected records of a file.)
I know how to copy record by record, but is there a 'Short Cut' to do it faster ?
Thanks
try this:
Dim i As Long
Do While Not RSold.EOF
' You can place if condition here
RSNew.AddNew
For i = 0 To RSold.Fields.Count - 1
RSNew.Fields(RSold.Fields(i).Name) = RSold.Fields(i).Value
Next i
RSNew.Update
RSold.MoveNext
Loop
This will copy records from RSold to RSnew recordset
You Can use code :
Set RSNew = RSOld.Clone
#user1838163 :Saving the second Recordset as a file
Dim RFileNm As String
Dim fs
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
RFileNm = "c:\temp\" & Trim(RFileNm) & ".adt"
fs.DeleteFile (RFileNm)
RSNew .Save RFileNm, adPersistADTG
RSNew .Close
RSNew .Open RFileNm, , , , adCmdFile
I think this will do what you want by doing it all at once.
Dim objPB As New PropertyBag
objPB.WriteProperty "rs", RSOld
Set RSNew = objPB.ReadProperty("rs")
Set objPB = Nothing
I don't think CLONE is going to do what you want. It just gives you another view of the same recordset you already have. This allows you to use multiple bookmarks and so forth, but the recordset is still attached to the same database the original was. I also need a way to copy the recordset and save it to a new database in a new format.
