Excel Range.Replace - Supress Not found message? 1

[lameid]

I am automating Excel and the Excel Applciation is not visible.

XLRange is an Excel Range object. "|hash|" does not always occur which produces a message that I would rather surpress... "Microsoft Excel Cannot find any data to replace. Check if you search formatting and criteria are defined correctly. If you are sure that matching data exists in this workbook, it may be on a protected sheet. Excel cannot replace data on a protected worksheet."

XLRange.Replace What:="|hash|", Replacement:="#", LookAt:=xlPart, _
            SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
            ReplaceFormat:=False

What if anything can I do to surpress the message?

Thanks.

hi,

FIRST do a Find, like...

dim rFound as range

set rFound = XLRange.Find("|hash|")

if not rFound is nothing then
  'now do your replace
end if

Skip,

for a NUANCE!}

Did you try to set the DisplayAlerts property to False ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

I am not that familar with the Excel Object models... I suspected there was a way to turn off messages. Thanks PHV!

Can I get you guys to take a peek over at another Excel automation issue I am having out of the same procedure?
