I really don't know what is going on. I used this code a lot of times, but for my current project I can't copy anything to clipboard without Catch ex As Exception which I don't like it cause it take so long until the content is copied to clipboard.
Does anyone know why I get this error?
You need to run your application as Administrator or open your Visual Studio IDE with option Run as administrator.
Don't forget to tell the type of data format you want to copy into Clipboard, after changing the text.
Clipboard.SetText("df", TextDataFormat.Text)

I was deleting an Access Object (a report) and Access crashed during the delete.
The object no longer exists in Access, but its module still shows up in VBA like a ghost.
If I click on it, I get a FILE NOT FOUND error.
If I try to compact & repair or compile the database, I get a FILE NOT FOUND error.
How can I solve this problem?
A potential option is to create a new database file, and import all of the content from the old database file. that will clear out the funky ghost stuff.
you write you tried compile already and it did not work.
Did you try decompile first though?
First of all make a backup copy (but am sure you already did that :) )
With Access and your access file closed type from the command prompt:
C:\yourOfficeInstallPath\MSACCESS.EXE /decompile
Access will start. Click File > Open and select the database you want to decompile
Open any module and click Debug > Compile
Then save your file and close.
Open again your file and compact it.
Let me know if it solved it.
I am not very familiar with VBA and I have to perform a task that involves opening a number of Excel files. These are full of broken links and I don't have the time to change things. As I open each file, 5(!) message windows pop up, one after another, and to get rid of them I have to hit "OK".
One of the "OK" windows is this:
Wanting to avoid this, I have
Opened an empty Excel spreadsheet;
Hit Alt+F11 to launch the VBA editor;
Pasted the following code
Sub Appl_Display_Alert_Ex2()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
End Sub
And then hit F5 to run it.
However, while I thought that this applied to Excel as a whole, I assume it only applies to the single file, because I then went to open one of my broken files and the 5 windows popped up anyway.
Question: is there a way for me to avoid the "OK" message windows for all Excel files, whatever they are?
I would strongly advise against doing this, as it's not a good practice - generally it's better to simply fix the formulas/tables to avoid this error - but if you absolutely insist on doing this.
You can go to File -> Options -> Formulas -> Error Checking / Error Checking Rules and disable whatever checks necessary to avoid this prompt.
What I'd however recommend you to do instead, is to closely follow this article here and fix it the proper way instead!
I was working on a Form and then Access crashed. When I tried to open it, I was prompted with an error which I didn't recognize how to fix right away. Something like
Form1 doesn't exist , if the invalid form name is in a macro ...
At the time, I couldn't figure it out, so I hit "Compact and Repair", closed and re-opened access a few times. Then there was another message, don't exactly remember but soemhting like "To continue, all VBA code must be deleted." I said Ok, because I have a few back up copies. But that didn't fix anything.
Then I figured out how to fix the original error. "Form1" was my default form to open on startup, so I changed it. So everything works, I copy the code back in, but obviously the code doesn't work. The error message is:
Compile Error user defined type
on the DAO.QueryDef
Then I follow MS Help and check the references, and when I click on Tools -> References, I get
Error acessing the System Registry.
So, any thoughts that include not messsing with the Registry?
Ok, so the real problem was the
Compile Error: User-Defined Type Not Defined
iDevelop was right, the file was corrupted. I had to make a new access file (they were .accdb not .mbd , but some concept), and import all objects without the code.
To make sure wasn't corrupted, I copy pasted it into Notepad first, and then into the new file. (Just as an extra precaution). And then it worked.
I am still getting the error:
Error accessing the System Registry.
when I go into Tools-> references,
but, I think it is probably related to my permissions, so maybe it is intended.
There is no editor available for 'file path here'. Make sure the application for file type (.vb) is installed.
This is the error that I get when I try to open a project I did a while back in VB. I tried a C# project and I can open the form for viewing fine, but for some reason VB won't work? Any ideas? I really don't want to do a repair on the whole application as it takes a while and I'm not even sure I have the ISO right now.
Check the compile mode of the object. If it is not set to "compile" then VS gets a bit weird about opening it up.
I created a script in Outlook 2003 VBA that watches for new appointments, and sets them to tentative and no reminder as I create them. I find that seemingly at random, the VBA editor will open itself. It doesn't happen when I use the new script, but it did happen this morning when I un-hibernated my laptop, for example.
The editor doesn't pop up any runtime errors or highlight any lines in the script, it's just there as if I had pressed Alt-F11 to launch it. Sometimes I close other apps and see that it's been sitting back there for a while.
This behavior has only been occurring since I created this new script. Any ideas why this would occur?
As stated in, Microsoft Support Center:
"This problem occurs only if the Microsoft Visual Basic Editor window
is maximized."
Solution:
Un-Maximize Visual Basic Editor and close it.
And you are done!
If you have previously set breakpoints, it may be that you still have a phantom breakpoint. Try choosing "remove all breakpoints" and see if that clears the problem.
Check also that you have not chosen "Break on all errors" under options, and that your error handler is functioning properly.
Believe it or not, this is a known issue. Check out this MS Support link:

I have the same problem and found it while I was looking for a solution. Since it gives no advice, I kept searching and came across your post. I will come back with an update if I find a solution.
The MS page linked by Jaquez hints at the answer; just make sure you don't run the editor maximized, and the problem should go away. If you restore it to a non-maximized state, then resize it to take up the whole screen, it should remember its position.
It's a pain if you only have a small screen, but on a normal large monitor it works fine, and solved the problem for me.
I have the same problem, except that it only occurs when I've gone in and unlocked the VBA project for editing and haven't restarted Outlook. It seems to open up when I get a new email (that's when my VBA runs) so basically I just have to restart Outlook and lock the project back up.
Sorry I don't know what's really causing it, but locking the VBA project should fix the problem...
My solution was to search for the .otm file of my VBA project. It was stored under data\microsoft\outlook. I closed Outlook and deleted the .otm file. Restarted Outlook and it was solved.
Just wanted to add that I was running into a phantom breakpoint issue with VBA in excel. Clearing all breakpoints did not work for me, but I resolved it as follows: Copy all content from offending module into a text file. Delete module. Re-create module. Copy back in all text. Save. Phantom breakpoint gone.
