I am running Excel version 16.45 on Mac.
I have created a .iqy and saved it in the Queries directory alongside certain templates which were already there.
I go to Data/Get External Data/Run Web Queries. While the templates are accessible, my file is visible but greyed out (same thing happens if I save the file in a different directory).
Would anyone be able to help?
According to your information, I would like to confirm whether the issue occurs when you follow the steps as below:
1.Create a Word file, paste the web URL.
2.Save the Word as .iqy with .txt format.
3.Choose MS-DOS as coding.
4.Create an Excel file and click "Data >Get External Data >Run Web Query (Or Run Saved Query) " of the Bar
I was able to address the issue as follows.
When navigating to the relevant directory with Finder, the '.iqy' file appears to be appropriately named (as per Image 1).
In fact, if you reach the file in Terminal, the file is saved as '.iqy.txt'.
So all I had to do is rename the file, simply removing the '.txt' string at the end.
Screen you see when navigating in Finder

I have an Excel macro that uses SAP for printing data in pdf format.
Steps:
it access the SAP transaction which provides a table with the necessary information
it press Print button (from the Menu Bar of SAP)
then Print window appears (from here it is selected Microsoft Print To PDF option and then it is pressed OK button)
Save As window appears (complete the path and filename: \S\BC....\outputName)
then Save button it is pressed
then no error happens
But if I access the path folder "\S\BC....", nothing happen, there is no file saved. BUT, if we look in "Date modified" property of the folder, it is modified in accordance with the last saving time.
Also, I mention that if I'm trying to write the pdf file on local folders, not network shared folders (example: a desktop folder: C:\Users\mariah\Test), macro works.
Also, I mention that user can Read&Write at the shared path \S\BC....\
Please help me to find the cause of this issue.
A VBA macro only does what you are allowed to do manually. Can you manually save the file in the shared path without the macro?
Is the common path really \S\BC...\ or \ \S\BC...\ ?

ScriptMan
Solution proposed by the OP in this comment:
IT WORKS if I save the file on "C:\Users\UserName" and then cut it to shared path "S\BC...". So I've implemented code that saves the file in a path and then copy it to another path and then I deleted it from the first path (such that user never knows that I copy the file in other destination than desired destination).
I'm new on shiny and flexdashboard.With flexdashboard I've written a .Rmd file to make a nice shiny application (I'm just a statistician).
I want to export some calculations (by a download button)in a report with a pdf file. In shiny examples, I need again to create another Rmd file, as an example of report.Rmd. I can open my application in the browser, and i'm successful to download a pdf file. But it's not working online (with shinyapps.io). I have two files with .rmd extension, and another one with .r extensions(my functions). Can it be the problem of the two.rmd?Do you Have any idea or example working?
thanks a lot in advance
It may be that the server is expecting the function files (*.R) in a certain folder and you are uploading it to another (or in the base folder).
I believe the convention is to put source files into a sub-folder called "R": /R/
If that doesn't work then try \www\. This is where icons are normally sourced from.
I'm using the following the code to open a file that resides elsewhere on the computer:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(PathToOpen)
Where PathToOpen is the full address to the file I wish to open. This appears to work as intended for any file type that has an application installed that can open the file.
Whilst this works OK, if the file is on a networked drive, I want my VB.Net code to check if the file is currently in use, if so display a message. Currently what happens is if a second user tries to open the file, it opens read-only (a word file for example) which is handled outside of my application. I want to intercept before the file is opened and stop the process there.
Is this possible at all?
You are basically asking if it's possible to monitor files on a system that doesn't even belong to you ?
Word does know about a file already in use because it creates a hidden file next to the one you open. if there is already a hidden file, it means the file is already in use.
Other applications use different ways of knowing if a file they can use is already opened somewhere else.
In order to do what you want to do, you need to know how all the applications handle this problem...
A possible solution would be for you to create a small hidden file next to the file the user wants to open (just like MS Word does). Only problem, you need to destroy the file when it's closed by the user, and you have no way of knowing that...

I have a web page and on a button click i would like file explorer to open so the user can navigate to a folder location and highlight a file. The web application will then get the path and filename of the file. Just to be clear I dont want to open the file I just want the details.
I cant seem to find a way of doing this, can you help?
UPDATE
Apologies perhaps I havent explained my self very well.
This is so a user can reference a document saved on a file share with a particular audit (the web page is for recording audits). Therefore they will click a button and file explorer will open. They will navigate to a folder (will be different everytime) and select a file. File explorer will then close and the web application will know the path of the file and its name. I can then use this to create a link on the web page to that document.
For getting directory path use; System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(path)
For file name System.IO.Path.GetFileName(path) or System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(path)
more info is available at http://www.dotnetperls.com/path
Use path.getFullPath() method to get the file path as a string.
If you want to get the file name only use path.getFileName() method.
PREFACE: Yes we're moving away from VSS in the next few months.
One of my web projects contains, as one of its files, a PDF. The PDF on our QA site is being pulled from VSS.
A QA tester recently told me he's being prompted for a password when he tries to open it. VSS says the file I have on disk is different than the one it has, so I updated it, but afterwards it's still being shown as different.
So basically VSS is mangling my PDF and the results are so wobbly that Adobe Acrobat Reader is confused and thinks it has a password.
I've tried adding it as Auto-Detect and as Binary. Same results.
Why does my PDF ask for a password after being retrieved from Visual SourceSafe and how can I prevent it?
Do you have the SourceSafe 2005 Update installed?
Handy list of known issues: http://blogs.msdn.com/richardb/archive/2007/06/06/list-of-bugs-fixed-in-sourcesafe-2005-gdr.aspx
The PDF bug was one of the most commonly requested hotfixes: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925234
I've tried adding it as Auto-Detect and as Binary. Same results.
To be clear, are you adding a version of the file you know is not already corrupted? Even so, there are plenty of other bug fixes on the list above which can cause random file corruption -- try that first.
You can remove PDF password by this tool:
Advanced PDF Password Remover 5.0
Step 1: Import PDF files
Click the "Add File(s)" button, browse your computer to find the PDF files and load them.You can import as many as 200 PDF files into this program for every batch processing.The imported files are listed in the file list window as below.
Step 2: Set output folder
You can customize a folder to save the output files all together. The default folder is My Documents\Advanced PDF Password Removerr. Click "Brows" button to specify a folder on your computer, or you can make a new folder manually in the text box.
Step 3: Remove restrictions
Click "Start" button, and the files are processed one by one.
"SUCCEED" is displayed in the Result column after the removing process is finished.
