MS Word populate text after is inserted via VBA form - vba

I have created word macro enabled template.
At opening form pops-up and user can fill in form. After pressing OK bookmarks inside document are updated and shown.
What I need is to populate entered values trough entire document on multiple locations. I have tried cross-referencing bookmarks but they are not updated with values entered in form.

Qualified Reference to Word Enumerations

I built a macro in Outlook that refers to the Word object library.
The macro is very large and consists of several subs and functions. The end goal of this macro is to convert the selected Outlook mailitem into a PDF via (via Word) and combine it with all PDF attachments.
I keep getting a runtime error 462 "the remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable."
I have narrowed down the line where this error is occurring. Code as follows:
wdApp.Selection.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.Add Position:=InchesToPoints(1.5), _
Alignment:=wdAlignTabLeft, Leader:=wdTabLeaderSpaces
As you can see, I am creating a qualified reference to the Word Application ("wdApp.Selection..."), but I suspect that somehow, I need to qualify the enumerators as well. How would I do this? Or if I am mistaken and the issue is with another part of the code, please let me know.
Here is the rest of my code (it is very lengthy).
Option Explicit

OutLook VBA Email or Notification Causes Out of Bounds Error

I have some outlook VBA code which works fine to save attachments, however every time I get an email or a meeting notification in Outlook it causes an instant Out of Bounds error If I don't get any emails or notifications the code will run fine through to completion.
Is there a way to ensure that these notifications will not stop the code from running?
Option Explicit
Sub SaveAttachmentsFromSelectedItemsPDF2_ForNext()
Dim currentItem As Object
Dim currentAttachment As Attachment
Dim saveToFolder As String
Dim savedFileCountPDF As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long

savedFileCountPDF = 0
For i = 1 To ActiveExplorer.Selection.Count
Set currentItem = ActiveExplorer.Selection(i)
For j = 1 To currentItem.Attachments.Count
Set currentAttachment = currentItem.Attachments(j)
If UCase(Right(currentAttachment.DisplayName, 5)) = UCase(".xlsx") Then
currentAttachment.SaveAsFile saveToFolder & "\" & _
Left(currentAttachment.DisplayName, Len(currentAttachment.DisplayName) - 5) & ".xlsx"
savedFileCountPDF = savedFileCountPDF + 1
End If

The Selection property of the Explorer class returns a Selection object that contains the item or items that are selected in the explorer window. In your code I've noticed the following lines of code:
For i = 1 To ActiveExplorer.Selection.Count
Set currentItem = ActiveExplorer.Selection(i)
So, if the selection is changed in Outlook between these two lines of code you may get out of range exception at runtime. Instead, I'd recommend caching the selection object and use it through the code to make sure it remains the same:
Set myOlExp = Application.ActiveExplorer
Set myOlSel = myOlExp.Selection
For x = 1 To myOlSel.Count
If myOlSel.Item(x).Class = OlObjectClass.olMail Then
' do something here
End If
Next
Another important thing is that a folder may contain different types of items. You'd need to check their message class to distinguish different kind of Outlook items.

Outlook - VBA set signature to new Email ... so the signature can be changed via menu

I wrote a script where I add a signature from an htm file in the appData ... signature folder to a newly opened email.
My question is - how do i modify this VBA script to add that signature in a way so Outlook knows its a signature and the signature might be changed by a user via gui.
I assume it may have something to do with setting a "_MailAutoSig" bookmark, is that right?
Script looks like this and works so far:
Dim WithEvents m_objMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim LODGIT_SUBJECT_IDENTIFIERS() As String
Private Sub Application_ItemLoad(ByVal Item As Object)
'MsgBox "Application_ItemLoad"
Select Case Item.Class
Case olMail
Set m_objMail = Item
End Select
End Sub
Private Sub m_objMail_Open(Cancel As Boolean)
'string array containing lodgit email subject identifiers (beginning string!!! of email subject)
LODGIT_SUBJECT_IDENTIFIERS = Split("Angebot von Bödele Alpenhotel,Angebot von,bestätigt Ihre Reservierung,Rechnung Nr.,Stornogutschrift für die Rechnung,Ausstehende Zahlung", ",")
Dim Application As Object
Dim oOutApp As Object, oOutMail As Object
Dim strbody As String, FixedHtmlBody As String
Dim Ret
Set Application = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
'Change only Mysig.htm to the name of your signature
' C:\Users\nicole\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures
Ret = Environ("appdata") & _
"\Microsoft\Signatures\AH Andrea kurz.htm"
If Ret = False Then Exit Sub
'~~> Use the function to fix image paths in the htm file
FixedHtmlBody = FixHtmlBody(Ret)
'CHECK FOR LODGIT IDENTIFIER
If myInStr(m_objMail.Subject, LODGIT_SUBJECT_IDENTIFIERS()) Then
Debug.Print "E-Mail as from Lodgit identified"
Dim str As String
Dim a As Object
str = Replace(m_objMail.Body, vbCrLf, "<br>")
str = Replace(str, vbNewLine, "<br>")
m_objMail.HTMLBody = "<html><body><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:""Times New Roman"" '>" & str & "</span>" & FixedHtmlBody & "</body></html>"
End If
End Sub
'~~> Function to fix image paths in Signature .htm Files
Function FixHtmlBody(r As Variant) As String
Dim FullPath As String, filename As String
Dim FilenameWithoutExtn As String
Dim foldername As String
Dim MyData As String
'~~> Read the html file as text file in a string variable
Open r For Binary As #1
MyData = Space$(LOF(1))
Get #1, , MyData
Close #1
'~~> Get File Name from path
filename = GetFilenameFromPath(r)
'~~> Get File Name without extension
FilenameWithoutExtn = Left(filename, (InStrRev(filename, ".", -1, vbTextCompare) - 1))
'~~> Get the foldername where the images are stored
foldername = FilenameWithoutExtn & "-Dateien"
'~~> Full Path of Folder
FullPath = Left(r, InStrRev(r, "\")) & foldername
'~~> To cater for spaces in signature file name
'FullPath = Replace(FullPath, " ", "%20")
'~~> Replace incomplete path with full Path
FixHtmlBody = Replace(MyData, "AH%20Andrea%20kurz-Dateien", FullPath)
'FixHtmlBody = Replace(MyData, foldername, FullPath)
End Function
'~~> Gets File Name from path
Public Function GetFilenameFromPath(ByVal strPath As String) As String
If Right$(strPath, 1) <> "\" And Len(strPath) > 0 Then _
GetFilenameFromPath = GetFilenameFromPath(Left$(strPath, Len(strPath) - 1)) + Right$(strPath, 1)
End Function
'check if str contains on of the elements of a str array
Public Function myInStr(myString As String, a() As String) As Boolean
For Each elem In a
If InStr(1, myString, elem, vbTextCompare) <> 0 Then
myInStr = True
Exit Function
End If
Next
myInStr = False
End Function
Outlook looks for the "_MailAutoSig" bookmark. This needs to be done with Word Object Model, not by setting the HTMLBody property. Something along the lines:
wdStory = 6
wdMove = 0
Set objBkm = Nothing
Set objDoc = Inspector.WordEditor
Set objSel = objDoc.Application.Selection
'remember the cursor position
set cursorRange = objDoc.Range
cursorRange.Start = objSel.Start
cursorRange.End = objSel.End
If objDoc.Bookmarks.Exists("_MailAutoSig") Then
'replace old signature
Debug.Print "old signature found"
set objBkm = objDoc.Bookmarks("_MailAutoSig")
objBkm.Select
objDoc.Windows(1).Selection.Delete
ElseIf objDoc.Bookmarks.Exists("_MailOriginal") Then
' is there the original email? (_MailOriginal)
set objBkm = objDoc.Bookmarks("_MailOriginal")
objSel.Start = objBkm.Start-2 'give room for the line break before. It includes the line
objSel.End = objBkm.Start-2
Else
'insert at the end of the email
objSel.EndOf wdStory, wdMove
End If
'start bookmark
set bkmStart = objDoc.Bookmarks.Add("_tempStart", objSel.Range)
'end bookmark
set bkmEnd = objDoc.Bookmarks.Add("_tempEnd", objSel.Range)
bkmEnd.End = bkmEnd.End + 1
bkmEnd.Start = bkmEnd.Start + 1
objSel.Text = " "
set objBkm = objDoc.Bookmarks.Add("_MailAutoSig", bkmStart.Range)
objBkm.Range.insertFile "c:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures\test.htm", , false, false, false
objBkm.Range.InsertParagraphBefore
objBkm.End = bkmEnd.Start - 1 'since we added 1 above for bkmEnd
objSel.Start = cursorRange.Start
objSel.End = cursorRange.End
bkmStart.Delete
bkmEnd.Delete

Paste not working between Excel and Word through VBA

I have a workbook which creates Word reports based on a Word template and tables in the workbook.
Depending on the equipment type, it copies a range from the spreadsheet and pastes it to two bookmark locations in the word document (bmInternal and bmExternal). I tried using PasteAppendTable, but this only works once. If I try to use it twice, for each bookmark, it copies nothing both times. As such I used Paste for one and PasteAppendTable for the second (PasteAppendTable is much neater as the formatting is better).
This worked fine, but I made changes to the code, not related to this, and now the Paste (which goes to bmInternal) isn't working. I can't see why when I've not changed anything regarding that part:
Sub Data2Word()
Application.GoTo Reference:=ActiveSheet.Range("A2")
GoAgain:
On Error Resume Next
Dim vItem As String
'Dim vImagePath As String
Dim vCurrentRow As Integer
Dim vDesc As String

Dim rng As Excel.Range 'our source range

Dim wdDoc As Word.Document 'our new Word template
Dim myWordFile As String 'path to Word template
Dim wsExcel As Worksheet
Dim tmpAut
'Find Item and type
vItem = ActiveCell.Value
vDesc = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2)
vN2 = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1)
vGuide = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 3)
vBlock = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 4)
vUnit = Left(vItem, 3)
If ActiveSheet.Range("rngREPORTED") = "Yes" Then
MsgBox vItem & " already has a report."
Exit Sub
End If
'initialize the Word template path
'here, it's set to be in the same directory as our source workbook
myWordFile = "W:\Entity\Inspect\WORD\INSPECTION TEMPLATES\Inspection Template - 20160511.dotx"
'open a new word document from the template
Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Add(myWordFile)
If vGuide = "IGE01" Then
rngText = "rngEXCH"
rngText2 = "rngEXCHE"
ElseIf ActiveCell.Offset(, 4) = "Mono" Then
'Do Mono
rngText = "rngMONO"
Else
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="rngItemSub", RefersTo:=Worksheets("SubEquipment").Range("B" & ActiveCell.Offset(0, 6) & ":C" & ActiveCell.Offset(0, 7) + ActiveCell.Offset(0, 6))
CarryOn:
rngText = "rngItemSub"
End If
'Insert Tables
'get the range of the data
Set rng = Range(rngText)
rng.Copy 'copy the range
wdDoc.Bookmarks("bmInternal").Range.Paste 'AppendTable

Set rng = Range(rngText2)
rng.Copy
End If
wdDoc.Bookmarks("bmExternal").Range.PasteAppendTable
wdDoc.Bookmarks("bmItem").Range.InsertAfter vItem
wdDoc.Bookmarks("bmDesc").Range.InsertAfter vDesc
wdDoc.Bookmarks("bmN2").Range.InsertAfter vN2

wrdPic.ScaleHeight = 55
wrdPic.ScaleWidth = 55
End With
wdApp.Visible = True
wdApp.Activate
wdDoc.SaveAs "W:\Entity\Inspect\WSDATA\REPORTS\2016\" & vUnit & "\" & vItem & " " & vN2 & " THO.docx" 'Mid(ActiveDocument.Name, 1, Len(ActiveDocument.Name) - 4)
MoveHere:
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("AllItems").Range("G" & ActiveCell.Offset(0, 8)).Value = "Yes"
ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub
I think DocVariables are easier to use that Bookmarks. Do a quick Google search on Word DocVariables. Get things setup correct in Word, and then run the script below.
Sub PushToWord()
Dim objWord As New Word.Application
Dim doc As Word.Document
Dim bkmk As Word.Bookmark
sWdFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(, , , , False)
Set doc = objWord.Documents.Open(sWdFileName)
'On Error Resume Next
objWord.ActiveDocument.variables("FirstName").Value = Range("FirstName").Value
objWord.ActiveDocument.variables("LastName").Value = Range("LastName").Value
objWord.ActiveDocument.variables("AnotherVariable").Value = Range("AnotherVariable").Value
objWord.ActiveDocument.Fields.Update
'On Error Resume Next
objWord.Visible = True
End Sub

Find file and insert path into cell

I have a file name of a pdf that I want to search for in a folder on a shared network drive \\Share\Projects. The pdf will be in one of the subfolders under projects. I then want to return the entire file path of the pdf into a cell (eg \\Share\Projects\Subfolder\Another subfolder\thisone.pdf).
I have started the code but can't figure out how to search a file system:
Sub InsertPath()
Dim PONumber As String
PONumber = InputBox("PO Number:", "PO Number")
'search for order
Dim myFolder As Folder
Dim myFile As File
'This bit doesn't work
Set myFolder = "\\Share\Projects"
For Each myFile In myFolder.Files
If myFile.Name = "PO" & PONumber & ".pdf" Then
'I have absolutely no idea how to do this bit
End If
Next
End Sub
Am I on the right track or is my code completely wrong?
get list of subdirs in vba
slighly modified the above post.
Public Arr() As String
Public Counter As Long
Sub LoopThroughFilePaths()
Dim myArr
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim MyFile As String
Const strPath As String = "C:\Personal\" ' change it as per your needs
myArr = GetSubFolders(strPath)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Range("A1:B1") = Array("text file", "path")
For j = LBound(Arr) To UBound(Arr)
MyFile = Dir(myArr(j) & "\*.pdf")
Do While Len(MyFile) <> 0
i = i + 1
Cells(i, 1) = MyFile
Cells(i, 2) = myArr(j)
MyFile = Dir
Loop
Next j
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Function GetSubFolders(RootPath As String)
Dim fso As Object
Dim fld As Object
Dim sf As Object
Dim myArr
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fld = fso.GetFolder(RootPath)
For Each sf In fld.SUBFOLDERS
Counter = Counter + 1
ReDim Preserve Arr(Counter)
Arr(Counter) = sf.Path
myArr = GetSubFolders(sf.Path)
Next
GetSubFolders = Arr
Set sf = Nothing
Set fld = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
End Function
Well, your folder declaration isn't set against a filesystemobject so it can't find the folder. And because it's a network location, you may need to map a network drive first so that it's a secure link.
So here's an updated version of your code.
EDIT - to OP's conditions.
Dim PONumber As String
Sub InsertPath()
PONumber = InputBox("PO Number:", "PO Number")
Dim fso As Object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim Servershare As String
ServerShare = "S:\"
Dim Directory As Object
Set Directory = fso.GetFolder(ServerShare)
Subfolderstructure Directory
End Sub
Function Subfolderstructure(Directory As Object)
For Each oFldr in Directory.SubFolders
For Each FileName In oFldr.Files
If FileName.Name = "PO" & PONumber & ".pdf" Then
sheets("Sheet1").range("A1").value = ServerShare & "\PO" & PONumber & ".pdf"
Exit For
End If
Next
Dim sbfldrs : Set sbfldrs = ofldr.SubFolders
If isarray(sbfldrs) then
Subfolderstructure ofldr
End if
Next
'Cleanup
Set FileName = Nothing
Set Directory = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
End Function
I have not tested this code. Try it out and let me know how it works.
