VBA to switch between 2 open PComm sessions - vba

I have been writing some VBA scripts to perform actions in PComm sessions.
For my latest one the process is to have 2 sessions open, both logged in to a different/separate (sub)system.
I'm trying to find out how to make VBA:
- Connect to 1 session
- Check if that session has specific values in specific coordinates (i can use the GetText command for this)
- If it is not the session, switch to the next open session and loop
- If it is the session, continue with the rest of the process (exit sub)
EDIT:
i've got the following code which helps determine if the correct subsystem is open.
Sub FindSession(FindPlatform As Platform)
Dim SessionLetter As String
Dim strSendToPlatform As String
Dim SL As Integer
Dim Timer As Date
Const DelayInterval = "00:01:00"

strSendToPlatform = "Cas"

For SL = 1 To 7

objwcc.SetConnectionByName SessionLetter

It does check all my open sessions to see if the correct system is open, but it doesn't select that session to work in that.
For example, i was logged into the 'CARE' system and 'Globstar' system, and had 'CARE' as the active window. I had the VBA look for 'Globstar', which it did find, but it then continued to send commands to the other open session; in 'CARE'
Can anybody help with how to do this?
Thanks!

From what I gather, you are trying to get characters from specific places in specific lines on a text box. Based on the error message you included in your question, I assume the error occurs on a line of code containing the "String. Substring" method. If the string where you are getting the substring from is too short to cover the range you have specified in the substring method, you will get this error. For instance, if you are getting a substring that's 3 characters long from line 2 starting at character 0 and it has less than 3 characters, you will get this error.
See the documentation on the String.Substring method here

How to determine what is causing catastrophic error

I am getting catastrophic error at certain sequence on listbox form selection...
how can I determine what exactly is causing catastrophic error? The error is repeatable from my file.
On bellow code I put msgbox "a" and error doesn't appear any more... If I remove that it will apear again. Also it appears only right after I run the excel file and open forms and select item on that listbox.
Also the code is around 4000 lines and 150000 characters for this specific form. With other classes it's over 10000 lines and over 300000 characters.

Thanks in advance
Try changing the order. Otherwise as soon as one condition is met the If clause is exited.
If Intact.Value And Compugen.Value Then
'code
ElseIf Intact.Value Then
'code
ElseIf Compugen.Value Then
'code
End If
If Intact.Value = True is true then the first, not the third block will run.
Similarly if Intact.Value = True is not true and Compugen.Value = True is true, then the second block will run.
So you can see that the third block is not reachable.
The solution is to put the Intact.Value = True And Compugen.Value = True case first in the group.
Finally, Foo.Value = True is a tautology of the simpler Foo.Value. You can drop all the explicit = True comparisons.

For Loop, how to skip iterations

I am trying to figure out how to skip iterations on a For loop. I did some research and found that I could use Continue For, but that does not solve my issue. Here an example of what I want to do:
For i As Long = 1 to 7 Step 1
If (i= 2, 5 and 7) Then
'perform this action
Else
'perform other action.
End If
Next i
I worked out the following, but unfortunately it works for the <= 2 and the Else part of my loop and for the 5 and 7, performs the same action as what I asked to do on the Else part.
For i As Long = 1 To 7 Step 1
If (i <= 2 AndAlso 5 AndAlso 7) Then
strRange = ("A:D")
Else
strRange = ("A:A")
End If
xlRefSheets = ClientSheets(i)
With xlRefSheets
.Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit()
.Range(strRange).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
End With
Next i
How about restating the if clause to
If (i <= 2) or (i = 5) or ( i =7) Then
...
So your code becomes:
For i As Long = 1 To 7 Step 1
If (i <= 2) OR (i = 5) OR (i = 7) Then
strRange = ("A:D")
Else
strRange = ("A:A")
End If
xlRefSheets = ClientSheets(i)
With xlRefSheets
.Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit()
.Range(strRange).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
End With
Next i
