I have been searching the internet and testing, without much success, how to hide all task fields and then open targeted task fields in the Gannt Chart view of ms project. I am doing this because I want my script to automate the formatting, so the end-user does not have to pull up the fields that have interacted with the macro.
Does anyone have any recommendations?

I have internal URLs for my company where we were able to run macros daily with the ie.Document.getElementsByName("submit")(0).Select command. This is no longer working with Excel, which I assume is part of some recent MS or specifically Excel updates.
Basically it's just a command to click a button when the target URL is loaded. I'm stumped on this one. Any help is appreciated.
I'm currently trying to generate multiple forms in lotus notes via VBA in a specific database and send them for processing. Due to several notes scripts running when creating/processing the various forms, the only theoretical way that I can imagine this to work would be to have the user open a form, so that the VBA script can tell it to do copies through a button in the form (via the Windows API), then cycle through the open forms, fill them out and submit them one by one.
So far so good, but I'd need to be able to cycle through all the open forms in Notes in order to find the form I want to fill out and set is as active window. I can't seem to find any API that allows a user to go through all the open tabs in a notes window. Would anyone be able to help me on this one, please?
Many thanks in advance.
What you want to do is not possible. There is no way to "cycle" windows via code in Lotus Notes / IBM Notes.
Better turn around your processing: Instead of opening a form for editing just fill it in the backend. Then you don't need Windows API- calls and the Clipboard at all.
of course you can open the filled form afterwards to let the user fill in additional information, but this is not necessary at all as you can also save the document in backend.
I have an Excel sheet with Macros enabled. I want to display the Excel sheet inside a VB6/VB.NET form without excel menu header and perform excel activities inside the form.
Please note that I need to perform some macros actions when some cell is entered...
My Objective is to create a standalone VB6/VB.Net Form in which excel cells should be displayed for performing marco actions.
I have tried searching for any sample but no luck. It should be something like this...
Can any one hint me to achieve this ?
As far as I can tell - this is not possible. The reason being that you cannot subclass the excel window in VBA.
If you program outside of excel with VB.NET or VB6 it would be sort of possible, but would probably not work really good.
If you only want to display some data from a sheet and perform some small actions on them, you could probably read the Data via the EPPLUS Library, display them as a datatable (EPPLUS can convert between datatable and excel files), perform your actions and save them to the file afterwards. But this would only work in VB.net
I did a lot of research into this last year. There is no available package to do what you are asking that is provided by MS or for free, however, you could create a datagridview (DGV) in vb.net and load the data into the DGV via ADO.NET. The data loaded into the cells will mirror your spreadsheet. Then when you modify the cells in the DGV, have a label as you have shown to update the data changes back to the excel sheet.

As far as calling the macro, use the excel interop feature to call a macro:

There may be some third party support for what you are doing, but of course it costs money:

We have following requirement to be done via excel and VBA programming. Please check and let me know if it feasible to do so and if not what way would be best to do it.
There would be excel spreadsheet say excel 2007/2010 with 2 tabs.
1st tab contains normal excel data
In 2nd tab user can enter a particular value and then click on a button in same tab. Is it possibly to have a button in excel tab and can it raise events like windows/web applications?
Now if button can be kept in excel and it can raise button click event then on such an event we need to create xml files. Is it possible to create xml files adhering to schema using excel &/or VBA programming
You need to activate the developer tab (from backstage go to Options and check the visibility of this tab) to get access to normal windows controls, like buttons and drop-down lists etc. You can easily place those in Excel sheets and write event handlers: the controls support the full range of events, including OnClick, OnMouseEnter etc...
You can write custom text files directly from VBA, but you can't validate those. The usual way to do so is just to concatenate small XML blocks into a bigger file, so XML output is more like a normal text output. But it works fine and as long as you do not need to perform something really complicated it is also ok.
EDIT: You can easily add references to custom COM objects (.dll or .ocx) and use them directly in your VBA code. One very helpful suggestion (see the comment below) is to use the MS XML library.
To add a reference just open the code editor (Alt + F11) and then go to Options -> References. Most of the references you need will be already in the list and you just have to check them, but you can also add your own custom libraries by clicking on Browse.
Is it possible to display an HTML page in an Office 2003 and/or 2007 task pane via VBA?
Background: We have a complicated configuration file that our users maintain in Word (using a real editor is not an option for our audience).
We would like to create several toolbar buttons that display a basic HTML page in a task pane as a form of online help for our users.
The reason we want to use a task pane to display help (vs. an external browser or traditional help engine) is so that the help content is "embedded" in Word vs. displayed via a seperate application. The problem with using a regular browser or help engine to display help is that users have to manually size and position both applications so that they can see them simultaneously and its very easy to "lose" one application when togging between many applications.
We don't want to go down the route of writing a VisualStudio based task pane component - we want to keep things simple (KISS) and encapsulate everything in an easy to distribute Word template file (.dot or dotx.).
Suggestions?
Yes it is possible, see this blog for detailed steps in creating the custom task pane in Excel 2007.
