Is there a way, setting, macro, or otherwise, that can automatically create backups of the current document in a series? Such as, working on a Writer document, pressing a macro button, and creating a backup at that time, so that there is another backup added to the previous backups in a folder?
Well, try this
Sub createBackUp()
Dim sURL As String
Dim aURL As Variant
Dim saveTime As String
sURL = ThisComponent.getURL()
If Trim(sURL) = "" Then Exit Sub ' No name - cannot store
saveTime = "_" & FORMAT(Now,"YYYYMMDD\_HHmmSS")
aURL = Split(sURL, ".")
If UBound(aURL) < 1 Then ' No extention?
sURL = sURL & saveTime
Else
aURL(UBound(aURL)-1) = aURL(UBound(aURL)-1) & saveTime
sURL = Join(aURL,".")
EndIf
On Error Resume Next
ThisComponent.storeToURL(sURL,Array())
On Error GOTO 0
End Sub
Also you can try Timestamp Backup

The following code loops through a folder, creates email with attachment and saves to draft.
Public Sub saveFileTodownload()
Set draftItems = Outlook.Session.Folders("My Email").Folders("Drafts").Items
strFile = Dir("d:\ga\localsdk\")
Do While Len(strFile)
Debug.Print strFile
Set mail = draftItems.Add("IPM.NOTE")
mail.Subject = "1downloadme" & Count
mail.Attachments.Add ("d:\ga\localsdk\" & strFile)
mail.Save
strFile = Dir
Loop
End Sub
I need to wait until the attachment has completely uploaded then call Save.
Is there any way to wait until the attachment has uploaded.
Note: If I debug it and wait a minute after the Attachment.Add line, the attachment has uploaded and Save works.
MailItem.Attachments.Add is synchronous; by the time the call returns, the attachment is added to the message. What makes you believe this is not so?

I tested your code and it works for me(No error message). However, it will be gets stuck if there are lots of attachments upload.
You could try this code :
Public Sub saveFileTodownload()
Dim store As Outlook.store
Dim space As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim folder As Outlook.folder
Set space = Outlook.Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set store = space.DefaultStore
Set folder = store.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderDrafts)
Set Item = folder.Items.Add("IPM.NOTE")
Item.Subject = "1downloadme"
Item.Body = "one"
Dim r As Long
r = 0
Do While r < 100
Item.Attachments.Add ("C:\Users\temp\Desktop\notes\abd.docx")
r = r + 1
Loop
'Item.Display
Item.Save
Item.Close
End Sub
I'm mapping to the company's sharepoint drive using VBA. The intention is to save local file to sharepoint, and delete local file and unmapped the drive after success.
On my machine(Windows 10 64bits), the code works perfectly fine, successfully mapped the drive, created folder and file, successfully uploaded to sharepoint and unmap the drive.
However, when I run the same excel workbook that contains the same code on my colleague's computer(Window 7), it failed. There's no error being shown, except that it keeps on loading and loading until Excel Not Responsive. I tried manually mapping the drive, it success.
I tried to debug and found out that the code stops (keeps on loading) at MsgBox "Hello" but could not figure out what's missing.
Both are using Excel 2016
Any help and suggestions are appreciated. let me know if more info is needed. Thanks in advance.

Procedure imgClicked is calling function AvailableDriveLetter multiple times. Remember that the function has to execute each time you refer to it.
I ran imgClicked (assuming that's the procedure you start with) and I was told, twice, "Next available letter = Z" and "Hello" and then it crashed Excel (perhaps getting stuck in a loop of creating FileSystem objects to look for an available drive letter?)
Try assigning AvailableDriveLetter to a variable (string) at the beginning of the procedure and referring to the variable each time you need the value, and see if you still have the issue.
(Remember to save before execution -- I get frustrated when troubleshooting "application hanging" issues because I keep forgetting to save my changes and then lose them on the crash!)
If this doesn't work, add a breakpoint (F9) on the End Function line after your "Hello" box and see if the code stops there. (I have trouble believing the MsgBox or End Function are the culprit.) If not, which procedure runs after that?
One more thing whether the issue is resolved or not:
Add Option Explicit at the very beginning of your module and then Compile the project and fix your missing variable declaration(s).
This is recommended whenever troubleshooting an issue as a means to eliminate variable declaration issues as a possible cause.
Can anyone point to what I'm doing wrong. I'm trying to output an Access 2007 report to Word (using .rtf!) but I can't seem to then point my code at the file. I keep getting Type Mismatch errors.
Here is my code:
Private Sub CatalogTitle_Click()
Dim AppWord As Object
Dim Doc As Object
Dim FileName As String
Dim DateTime As Date
Dim DTString As String
Dim x As Integer
Set AppWord = CreateObject(Class:="Word.Application") ' create an instance of Word
DateTime = Now() ' build a date string which is compatible with the Windows File structure
DTString = CStr(DateTime)
For x = 1 To Len(DTString) ' changes dd/mm/yy hh:mm:ss into dd_mm_yy hh_mm_ss
If (Mid(DTString, x, 1) = "/" Or Mid(DTString, x, 1) = ":") Then
Mid(DTString, x, 1) = "_"
End If
Next x
' build the full .rtf filename
FileName = "Titles " & DTString & ".rtf"
' and output the rtf file to it
DoCmd.OutputTo acReport, "ItemsReportByTitle", acFormatRTF, FileName
' then open the Word instance with the file just created
Set Doc = "AppWord.Documents.Open(FileName)"
' and make the instance visible
AppWord.Visible = True
End Sub
I keep failing on the 'Set Doc...' line.
Remove the double quotes around the object/method...
Set Doc = AppWord.Documents.Open(FileName)
Is there any SQL equivalent of "%" sign in VBA?
I need to return a few files just with some characters in the middle.
Help really appreciated!
For instance here is my code: I need to download all file that has in the name 2013 from that webpage and save and call them differently. Is this mission possible?
Sub Sample()
Dim strURL As String
Dim strPath As String
Dim i As Integer
strURL = "http://cetatenie.just.ro/wp-content/uploads/Ordin-********.2013.pdf"
strPath = "C:\Documents and Settings\ee28118\Desktop\178.pdf"
Ret = URLDownloadToFile(0, strURL, strPath, 0, 0)
If Ret = 0 Then
MsgBox "File successfully downloaded"
Else
MsgBox "Unable to download the file"
End If
End Sub
You can use the Like Operator.
Characters in pattern Matches in string
? Any single character.
* Zero or more characters.
# Any single digit (0–9).
[charlist] Any single character in charlist.
[!charlist] Any single character not in charlist
Example :
Dim MyCheck
MyCheck = "aBBBa" Like "a*a" ' Returns True.
MyCheck = "F" Like "[A-Z]" ' Returns True.
MyCheck = "F" Like "[!A-Z]" ' Returns False.
MyCheck = "a2a" Like "a#a" ' Returns True.
MyCheck = "aM5b" Like "a[L-P]#[!c-e]" ' Returns True.
MyCheck = "BAT123khg" Like "B?T*" ' Returns True.
MyCheck = "CAT123khg" Like "B?T*" ' Returns False.
When you navigate to the uploads folder, you get a directory listing of all the files in it. You can loop through the hyperlinks on that listing and test each to see if it meets your criterion and, if so, download it. You need a reference to MSXML and MSHTML. Here's an example.
Sub Sample()
Dim sUrl As String
Dim xHttp As MSXML2.XMLHTTP
Dim hDoc As MSHTML.HTMLDocument
Dim hAnchor As MSHTML.HTMLAnchorElement
Dim Ret As Long
Dim sPath As String
Dim i As Long
sPath = "C:\Documents and Settings\ee28118\Desktop\"
sUrl = "http://cetatenie.just.ro/wp-content/uploads/"
'Get the directory listing
Set xHttp = New MSXML2.XMLHTTP
xHttp.Open "GET", sUrl
xHttp.send
'Wait for the page to load
Do Until xHttp.readyState = 4
DoEvents
Loop
'Put the page in an HTML document
Set hDoc = New MSHTML.HTMLDocument
hDoc.body.innerHTML = xHttp.responseText
'Loop through the hyperlinks on the directory listing
For i = 0 To hDoc.getElementsByTagName("a").Length - 1
Set hAnchor = hDoc.getElementsByTagName("a").Item(i)
'test the pathname to see if it matches your pattern
If hAnchor.pathname Like "Ordin-*.2013.pdf" Then
Ret = UrlDownloadToFile(0, sUrl & hAnchor.pathname, sPath, 0, 0)
If Ret = 0 Then
Debug.Print sUrl & hAnchor.pathname & " downloaded to " & sPath
Else
Debug.Print sUrl & hAnchor.pathname & " not downloaded"
End If
End If
Next i
End Sub
Edit
I assumed that URLDownloadToFile was already written. I didn't write one, I just used the below function to test the code that iterates through the files. You can use it to make sure the above code works for you, but you'll need to write the actual code to download the file eventually. With all the arguments to URLDownloadToFile, I'm surprised it doesn't exist already.
Function UrlDownloadToFile(lNum As Long, sUrl As String, sPath As String, lNum1 As Long, lNum2 As Long) As Long
UrlDownloadToFile = 0
End Function
Try below code : The boolean function would return true if the string has the string 2013 in it.
Sub Sample()
Dim result As Boolean
result = has2013("http://cetatenie.just.ro/wp-content/uploads/Ordin-********.2013.pdf")
Debug.Print result
result = has2013("http://cetatenie.just.ro/wp-content/uploads/Ordin-********.2014.pdf")
Debug.Print result
End Sub
Function has2013(lnk As String) As Boolean
has2013 = lnk Like "*2013*"
End Function
in VBA use the LIKE function with wildcard characters:
here is an example (copied from Ozgrid Forums)
Dim sht As Worksheet
For Each sht In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If sht.Name Like "FRI*" Then
'Add code for Friday sheets
Else
If sht.Name Like "MON*" Then
'Add code for Monday sheets
End If
End If
Next
The multiplication character * takes the place of zero or more characters, whereas ? takes the place of exactly 1 character, and # takes the place of 1 number. There are other more specific char. matching strategies if you only want to match certain characters.
so there you go!
Also, you could take a look at Ozgrid Forums: Using Regular Expressions in VBA
To get a list of the files on the server, read up on FTP (using DIR) at Mr Excel - List files using FTP
I have a few Lotus Notes 'databases' that i'd like to import into Access or SQL.
I think I have most of the steps down (install NotesSQL ODBC driver, setup ODBC connection to Lotus DB, import data into Access), but I can't figure out what to do with all the documents, eg: Word Files, PDF Docs, Excel Workbooks that were in the Lotus DB.
The Lotus Notes DB is full of them. After importing, I do notice a table in Access called 'Documents,' but I don't know what to do with it. I see a line/record for each document in the Lotus DB, but it's not like SQL where there is a column for the actual file data.
Please let me know how I can actually use the documents I pull out of the Lotus DB.
Your best bet is to extract the documents from the database and store them on a file share. That will give you the most flexibility. To retain the association with the original Notes documents, you may want to export them with filenames or into folders with folder names that include the ID of the associated record in Access. Or at least make sure the records include the path of the document.
I don't believe you can pull in attachments via the NotesSQL driver.
Here's an example script that you can put into an Agent to extract attachments from your database: (from http://www.notes411.com/dominosource/tips.nsf/0/4F1FF33C52F08D76802570C2003A2FD6!opendocument)
