    - Problems with VB solver code I am writing visual basic code behind an excel spreasheet and am having difficulty making it work. It involves using the solver function. The code is listed below: Sub signif_control_pop() Dim cntlpc Dim pop 'Clear any previous solver settings. SOLVERReset 'Prompt user for population size. pop = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Population Total:", Type:=1) Range("C3") = pop 'Set targeted cell, H16, to a value by changing the range of acceptable percentages. SolverOK SetCell:=Range("H16"), MaxMinVal:=3, _ ValueOf:=0.95, _ byChange:=Range("B5") ' Solve the model and keep the final results. SolverSolve Userfinish:=False 'Save results of control percent before you discard the results. cntl_pc = Range("B5") SolverFinish KeepFinal:=1 'NOTE: Does not work if I include ReportArray:=1 ' Show the result in a message box. MsgBox "The Control Population Percent for " & pop & " is " & cntl_pc & " " End Sub The problem I'm having is regarding the "ByChange" cell (B5) used in the solver function. The value in the cell never changes. When the message box is displayed, it always displays the same number, which is the number that was sitting in cell B5 before I ran the program. I have included "SolverFinish KeepFinal:= 1" in the code. If I do not run the visual basic code, but rather manually run Solver in excel, it will change cell as I want it to do. Any help is appreciated. Stacy Tag: VBA and automated word generation

    - New to Visual Basic Im trying to do the following: I created some command buttons that has the number 1, 2, 3, 4 on it, like a keypad or a calculator. When I press the button I want it to give a value (variable) of 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. At the same time if I press 1 and 4 on the keypad, Id like it to indicate 14 or 9 and 8 I would get 98. What I'm trying to do is: Button 1 = 10 * (number pad system stated above) + Enter button = 0 and/or Button 2 = 20 * (number pad system stated above) + Enter button = 0 and/or Button 3 = 30 * (number pad system stated above) + Enter button = 0 = Total Thanks!

    - VBA XML and encoding Hello, Here is my issue. In an excel sheet, I fill in several cells which contain text. This text can be either in english / french / spanish / italien / german, which means I can have characters like "e" or "e" etc... In a vba macro I'm trying to put all these data into an XML, this XML is then processed later on by an ASP.net app I have created (using an xmlreader). The thing is, when I try to display the value of each node of my XML with my ASP.net app, some characters are replaced by squares. For example, characters like "-", "...", singlequote BUT, characters like "e" and "e" are perfectly displayed . And when I have a look into my XML file with Visual Studio I can clearly see all my characters. Everything is fine. However, when I try to save the file in VS, it warns me "that some unicode characters can't be saved in the current codepage. Do you want to resave the file as Unicode in order to maintain your data " If I click "YES" it then set the Xml Encoding to : UTF-16 And from now on, everything is displayed correctly in my ASP.net app. Here is the VBA Code which generates my XML File. Code Snippet Open strPath & cstStudyName & ".xml" For Output As 1 Print #1, "< xml version=" & Chr(34) & "1.0" & Chr(34) & " encoding=" & Chr(34) & "ISO-8859-1" & Chr(34) & " >" Print #1, "<root>" iCurLine = cstiStartLine While objSheet.Cells(iCurLine, cstiVarCol).Value <> "" strValue = objSheet.Cells(iCurLine, iEnglisCol) Print #1, "<" & objSheet.Cells(iCurLine, cstiVarCol) & " label= " & Chr(34) & CheckContentsXML(strValue) & Chr(34) & "/>" iCurLine = iCurLine + 1 Wend Print #1, "</root>" Close #1 As you can see, I have tried to specify "ISO-8859-1" in the XML header. If I specify "UTF-8" then xmlreader is generating an error at the first weird character it encounters such as "-" If I try to specify "UTF-16", it then becomes a bunch of unreadable characters and my ASP.net display nothing. Does anyone have an idea Thanks a lot. Tag: VBA and automated word generation

    - Increase prompt in message box I have a userform that contains a command button that when clicked displays a message box. This message box contains help notes for the user. However I can't quite fit all the text in. When displayed, the message box cuts off the last couple of sentences. I think this is because my help text is the prompt in the message box and it is too long (> 1024 characters). How can I get a few extra sentences into the message box Perhaps there is a better way to display the help text Tag: VBA and automated word generation

    - VBA in Excel - organizing charts as objects in a sheet I am using a macro to create multiple charts from data on a separate sheet in the Excel file. However, the program places each new chart on top of the previous one in the sheet I select. I would like to place these charts apart on the sheet so that they are viewable. 1) Is there an command to order the charts down and across the sheet 2) Alternatively, can I select and move each sheet without using the actual object name in the while loop, "Chart1," for example. 3) Specifiying the object name would only work for the first chart. Is there a way to number the charts with a variable Here is the while portion of my code as it is now ( red text indicates the portion I am having difficulty with ) : While j < 243 Charts.Add With Sheets("TRESULTSdmp_3") ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=.Range(.Cells(i + 1, j + 1), .Cells(i + m, j + 1)), PlotBy:=xlColumns End With ActiveChart.ChartType = xlXYScatter ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="Sheet1" With ActiveChart .HasTitle = True .ChartTitle.Characters.Text = "Test point to the right" .Axes(xlCategory, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False .Axes(xlValue, xlPrimary).HasTitle = False End With ActiveWindow.Visible = False <----- question 2 above) want to move object to a specific location ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlNormal (will have to make Range a variable) ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlMaximized Range("A1").Select ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 8").Activate ActiveChart.Paste ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 3").IncrementLeft -123.75 <--- question 3 above) want to make object # variable ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 3").IncrementTop -8.25 j = j + 1 Wend Tag: VBA and automated word generation

    - Pivot Table Macro Hi, I have set up a small macro to create a pivot table from a spreadsheet: Sub CreatePivot() ' ' CreatePivot Macro ' Macro recorded 3/14/2007 by Gary ActiveWorkbook.PivotCaches.Add(SourceType:=xlDatabase, SourceData:= _ "Data!R1C1:R656C90").CreatePivotTable TableDestination:="", TableName:= _ "PivotTable1", DefaultVersion:=xlPivotTableVersion10 ActiveSheet.PivotTableWizard TableDestination:=ActiveSheet.Cells(3, 1) ActiveSheet.Cells(3, 1).Select Sheets("Sheet1").Select Sheets("Sheet1").Name = "Pivot" End Sub The problem is that each spreadsheet I run it on, has a different number of rows. They all have the same number of columns (A-CL), but the number of rows varies. I'd like the pivot to work no matter how many rows it is: i.e., that it will automatically select the entire range whatever it is. Is this doable Thank you, Gary Tag: VBA and automated word generation

    - Collection Item: Parent / NextItem Hi, I am struggling with classes. This is what I want to do, in VBA (test it in Excel please): I want to add a property/function to my class, named NextItem and PreviousItem. These return the next and previous items in the collection. I have several separate collections where I keep my items in. So if I want to determine the next and previous item, I need to figure out in which collection the item resides before I can start to loop through that collection. Unfortunately there is no collection.item.parent. That is what I need to simulate I thought about adding a property ParentCollection to the class, but how can I use that property as a pointer to a collection and retrieve the collection from that pointer.

    - Updating column totals in sub forms This has to be simpler than I'm making it! Trying to maintain column ototals ni SubForm, and update them to the MainForm. Typical Northwind-type Orders-&-Details relationship: I extend row totals in the OrderDetails subform; and show OrderTotal (column total) in the SubForm's FormFooter. So far, so good. But when I change a quantity or price in the subform, I'd expect the subtotal to change automatically, no It does not; and I don't know whether I need to code a "Change" event myself, to modify that total whenever a single cell changes; and whether I must loop through the rows, or if there's a nifty group-operator in Access to do the columnTotal for me. (I'm a VB programmer, reluctantly roped into writing an Access form.) Finally, when I leave the Main Record (i.e., parent of the rows in the subForm), I want to store the updated suptotals in the Main/Parent record. (I know, I know, it's not kosher, but they pay me to do this stuff. -- Besides, it records what has been billed as it was billed; not as it's been updated since.) Many thanks, anyone who can provide a cogent reply. S Tag: VBA and automated word generation

    - Projects, objects & modules I started learning VBA in MS Word yesterday. I have some programming experience in C++ and Java. I am trying to understand how the environment is structured and what Projects, Objects and Modules represent. For example I recorded a few macros using the macro recorder and then opened the VB Editor to see what was created. I notice that under "Project" are 3 folders. One is named "Microsoft Word Objects". Within this folder is what looks like a file named "This Document". What does "Project" represent What does "This Document" represent What is the difference between "This Document" and the "Project" Also under "Project" is a folder named "Modules". Within this folder is what looks like a file named "New Macros". This "file" seems to hold the code that represents the macros I recorded. Right clicking on the "Modules" folder allows me to insert another module into which I can add code for a Sub/s (short for subroutine/s I assume) via the VB Editor to do whatever. Why would you put code for different Subs into different modules The simple tutorials I have been studying seem to put all Subs into the one module. Why is the code for the recorded macros put into a separate module I am trying to work out exactly what Projects, Objects, and Modules are and how they interact. It seems like some sort of hierarchy. This environment is very new and quite confusing to me at the moment. Any help or references appreciated. Tag: VBA and automated word generation

Hi there,

I am currently working on a VBA application.

There is an automated word generation available in the appliacation that serves the reporting process.

If there is any Flash add-in being installed in the user's machine (can be viewed through Tools->Templates and Add-ins in MS Word) ,the applicaiton crashes down when the user tries to generate the report because the flash add-in runs initially before the word gets opened.

Is there any work around available other than removing the add-in for the application to run successfully

Your help is greatly appreciated

Move the thread from Visual Basic General since the question is mainly on VBA. There are more exports in Visual Basic for Application forum and I believe you can get satisfying answers in this forum.

Thanks again for your question.
