    How to convert MS Word files into PDF via VBA?

    Hi sudakov, Yes, this can certainly be done. A couple of key questions: 1) What version of Word are you using? 2) Do you have anything against downloading a free piece of software to use? Reasons I ask... 1) If you are using Word 2007 or 2010, you can automate the process using default...

    Sharepoint Excel Services

    I can't see why it wouldn't... I don't have Sharepoint, so I can't test this, but my understanding is that you build your workbook in Excel, then upload it to the Sharepoint server where it is rendered in Excel Services. The data connections that you've created to Oracel or MS SQL in your...

    Print to PDF: PrintOut Method

    Sorry, still don't follow. Are you using the code from my site (using PDF Creator) or the code from this thread (using Distiller, posted by macropod)? If you're using the PDFCreator code, then Adobe settings won't make any difference. If you are using Adobe, I'm not sure if Adobe's Distiller...

    Print to PDF: PrintOut Method

    That setting should not be controlled by the print driver, but rather the pagesetup. You may want to take a look at your page setup manually, to see if it is indeed portrait, and then review your code to see if you toggle the settings there. Also, you still haven't said what program you...

    FileExists question

    Hi everyone, I noticed that you're testing for file existence with Dir. If you decide to get into testing directories with Dir for any reason, just be aware that it won't return true if there is no FILE in the directory (even if there are subdirectories.) I created a function to test if a...

    Creating taskItem in Outlook with date in string format

    Try looking up the cDate function. It's used to convert textual dates to actual dates. HTH, Ken Puls, CMA www.excelguru.ca

    Converting Excel file to word or pdf

    If you are more interested in the PDF route, I'll throw in a second vote for PDF Creator. It's an awesome little free application that works very well. It also exposes its classes to VBA, so that you can code it as well, as I show here: http://www.excelguru.ca/node/21 Ken Puls, CMA...

    activex error when opening the workbook - how to stop it...

    Go in to the workbook, and right click your controls. -If it comes up with a right click menu that shows the "Assign Macro" command, (near the bottom,) it is NOT and ActiveX control, it is a Forms control. -If it comes up with a right click menu that shows the "Properties" and "View Code"...

    WorkSheet_Change Issue

    HI there, From the Macro recorder: Range("A1:D18").Sort Key1:=Range("D2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:= _ xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _ DataOption1:=xlSortNormal You'll need to adapt the range to suit. If you need it dynamic...

    Add users to group through excel spreadsheet

    We can use a Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick event, check the value of the target, and probably even feed it into a single modfiied version of your script. As Zack reiterated, though, we need to code to help you convert it. Ken Puls, CMA www.excelguru.ca

    Create Installation Media

    Cool, glad you got it sorted! For the record, what I meant with v5 was not to install it. Just keep the disks hanging around, and start the install using the upgrade copy. Usually, although I don't know with Visio, you'd get prompted to supply them because it couldn't find a suitable version...

    Add users to group through excel spreadsheet

    Hi there, I'm not sure I quite followed that last bit. You have a VBS script to take a bunch of users listed in an Excel sheet and put them in a group. What you want to do is place a single user in a group. Is that correct? If that's the case, please post the VBS script, and I'm sure that...

    WorkSheet_Change Issue

    Hi there, I usually prefer to test this on live data, but I don't want to try and replicate your workbook here. If I understand correctly, you want to overwrite rows 1,2 and 3 every time. The way you're set up, you are measuring the count of the current region every time. Add data, and that...

    Create Installation Media

    To the question asked, don't believe so, no. You *may* be able to put in your v5 disks when prompted upon installing the new version. The other route that *might* work is copying the old files to the same folders on the new PC. I don't know if the upgrade checks for reg keys or certain files...

    MS Office upgrade question

    Hi there, Honestly, the difference between Office 2002 and 2003 is hardly what I'd consider a "MAJOR" software upgrade. The platforms are nearly identical, with the exception of Outlook. Typically, when I make the switch between versions of Office, I uninstall the first one completely, then...

    Populating an Excel document with Access fields

    If you want an alternate way, you can retrieve the data using SQL via an ADO connection. An example here: http://www.excelguru.ca/node/23 The size of the recordset totally depends on your SQL query. I've modified the method there to create functions to return a value, return entire arrays of...

    Run-time Error 1004

    Hi Zwicky, I'll have a play a bit later. Technically speaking, the continuation is actually space, underscore, hard return. The code you had above doesn't have the hard return, which is why I asked. ;) I have some code lying around somewhere to sync pivot fields, I believe, I just need to...

    Run-time Error 1004

    Hi there, These may be minor, or may not. I haven't tried to set up a PT, and don't use them much, so bear with me... Your line of code, is it really typed in the VBE exactly like this? Sheets("Pivot").PivotTables("Pivot").PivotFields("C Key"). _CurrentPage = ckey If so, you may want to...
