I am trying to find a way to run a macro every time a text file, any text file, in a certain folder is saved.
Does anyone know of a way to do that?

I've been trying to adapt the method shown here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246299 so that I can create a command button in word which will save the document and remove itself when clicked. I've been unable to figure out how to change the position of the button from the default of the top left of the first page however. Ideally I'd like the button to be generated at the end of the document and be centre aligned, or otherwise placed at the cursor position.
Any advice would be very much appreciated :)
Thank You.
My VB.NET project code so far:
Dim shp As Word.InlineShape
shp = wrdDoc.Content.InlineShapes.AddOLEControl(ClassType:="Forms.CommandButton.1")
shp.OLEFormat.Object.Caption = "Save To Disk"
shp.Width = "100"
'Add a procedure for the click event of the inlineshape
Dim sCode As String
sCode = "Private Sub " & shp.OLEFormat.Object.Name & "_Click()" & vbCrLf & _
"ActiveDocument.SaveAs(""" & sOutFile & """)" & vbCrLf & _
"On Error GoTo NoSave" & vbCrLf & _
"MsgBox ""Document Saved Successfully""" & vbCrLf & _
"Dim o As Object" & vbCrLf & _
"For Each o In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes" & vbCrLf & _
"If o.OLEFormat.Object.Name = ""CommandButton1"" Then" & vbCrLf & _
"o.Delete" & vbCrLf & _
"End If" & vbCrLf & _
"Next" & vbCrLf & _
"Exit Sub" & vbCrLf & _
"NoSave:" & vbCrLf & _
"MsgBox ""Document Failed To Save""" & vbCrLf & _
"End Sub"
wrdDoc.VBProject.VBComponents("ThisDocument").CodeModule.AddFromString(sCode)
wrdApp.Visible = True
As long as everything else is working just set the shp.left = 250 and shp.top = 1200
etc etc.
Just like in VB when you place a button. For more details on the exact calls you should reference this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/hh965406%28v=office.14%29.aspx
But say to center a button you can set left to be the (doc.width - shape.width)
But word buttons allow for much more complex styling and setup.
I am trying to use VBA in Excel to add conditional formatting to a column of a pivot table. The issue is that whenever the pivot table is refreshed, or a filter is changed, etc. the conditional formatting is lost. My solution was to add a macro to the pivot table update event in the workbook, which works ... kinda. It seems that when I run the code that creates the pivot table and adds the code to handle conditional formatting an error occurs but ONLY when the VBA window is NOT open. If the VBA window is open the code executes normally - despite no code changes or reference changes.
Private Sub setupConditionalFormattingForStatusColumn()
Dim thisSheetModule As vbcomponent
Dim formattingCodeString As String
On Error GoTo conditionalFormattingError
formattingCodeString = _
"Private Sub Worksheet_PivotTableUpdate(ByVal Target As PivotTable)" & vbNewLine & _
" With Target.parent.Columns(" & harReportColumn("Status") & ")" & vbNewLine & _
" .FormatConditions.AddIconSetCondition" & vbNewLine & _
" .FormatConditions(.FormatConditions.Count).SetFirstPriority" & vbNewLine & _
vbNewLine & _
" With .FormatConditions(1)" & vbNewLine & _
" .IconSet = ActiveWorkbook.IconSets(xl4TrafficLights)" & vbNewLine & _
" .IconCriteria(1).Icon = xlIconYellowExclamation" & vbNewLine & _
vbNewLine & _
" With .IconCriteria(2) " & vbNewLine & _
" .Type = xlConditionValueNumber" & vbNewLine & _
" .value = -1" & vbNewLine & _
" .Operator = 5" & vbNewLine & _
" .Icon = xlIconGreenCircle" & vbNewLine & _
" End With" & vbNewLine & _
vbNewLine & _
" With .IconCriteria(3)" & vbNewLine & _
" .Type = xlConditionValueNumber" & vbNewLine & _
" .value = 1.05" & vbNewLine & _
" .Operator = 7" & vbNewLine & _
" .Icon = xlIconYellowCircle" & vbNewLine & _
" End With" & vbNewLine
formattingCodeString = formattingCodeString & vbNewLine & _
" With .IconCriteria(4)" & vbNewLine & _
" .Type = xlConditionValueNumber" & vbNewLine & _
" .value = 1.15" & vbNewLine & _
" .Operator = 7" & vbNewLine & _
" .Icon = xlIconRedCircleWithBorder" & vbNewLine & _
" End With" & vbNewLine & _
vbNewLine & _
" .ShowIconOnly = True" & vbNewLine & _
" End With" & vbNewLine & _
vbNewLine & _
" .HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter" & vbNewLine & _
" .VerticalAlignment = xlCenter" & vbNewLine & _
" End With" & vbNewLine & _
"End Sub"
Set thisSheetModule = ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents(harReportSheet.CodeName)
thisSheetModule.CodeModule.AddFromString formattingCodeString
Exit Sub
conditionalFormattingError:
errorLog.logError "WARNING: An error occured while applying the conditional formatting code for the ""Status"" column."
Err.Clear
Resume Next
End Sub
The line which generates the error is: thisSheetModule.CodeModule.AddFromString formattingCodeString but the error is only generated if the VBA window is closed.
Any ideas?
So I was able to find an answer to this issue. Evidently Excel does not properly initialize the codename property of newly created worksheets when the VBA window is not open (the why here is beyond me) but only when it recompiles. A work-around is to force Excel to recompile prior to any calls to the codename property. The solution which worked for me was to place the following code:
On Error Resume Next
Application.VBE.CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.FindControl(ID:=578).Execute
On Error GoTo conditionalFormattingError
above the line beginning with Set thisSheetModule = ... . Oddly enough the line of code which forces the recompile also throws an error for me which I was able to safely ignore with the surrounding error handling.

Hope that helps someone out there. :-)
My vb macro monitors the folder path for new file creation.I can able to monitor the paths in local drive.
How to provide the path for network drive???
here is my code below.here strDirToMonitor is the place i need to give a network path (\share\files)
But the \ is not working ..
strComputer = "."
strDirToMonitor = "c:\\\\test"
'// Monitor Above every 10 secs...
strTime = "10"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colMonitoredEvents = objWMIService.ExecNotificationQuery _
("SELECT * FROM __InstanceOperationEvent WITHIN " & strTime & " WHERE " _
& "Targetinstance ISA 'CIM_DirectoryContainsFile' and " _
& "TargetInstance.GroupComponent= " _
& "'Win32_Directory.Name=" & Chr(34) & strDirToMonitor & Chr(34) & "'")
A network path is specified as follows: \\COMPUTUER_NAME\SHARE\PATH. Obviously, you'd need to escape (double) the backslashes as you'd do with a local path
However, there are some differences in what you can do with network and local paths as remote ones aren't controlled by your local machine - so I'm not sure if what you're trying to accomplish will work.
Edit: As discussed in comments...
strComputer = "CompB"
strDirToMonitor = "c:\\\\test"
'// Monitor Above every 10 secs...
strTime = "10"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colMonitoredEvents = objWMIService.ExecNotificationQuery _
("SELECT * FROM __InstanceOperationEvent WITHIN " & strTime & " WHERE " _
& "Targetinstance ISA 'CIM_DirectoryContainsFile' and " _
& "TargetInstance.GroupComponent= " _
& "'Win32_Directory.Name=" & Chr(34) & strDirToMonitor & Chr(34) & "'")
I am trying to write vbs to find owner of process. Can you please help me?
My google-fu is strong
Microsoft Windows 2000 Scripting Guide - Determining Process Owners
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process")
For Each objProcess in colProcessList
colProperties = objProcess.GetOwner(strNameOfUser,strUserDomain)
Wscript.Echo "Process " & objProcess.Name & " is owned by " _
& strUserDomain & "\" & strNameOfUser & "."

This code stops after a while due to protected files such as system files, "Permission Denied".
Is there a way to modify the code below so that it can handle such protected files or bypass them?
Set objFS=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
WScript.Echo Chr(34) & "Full Path" &_
Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & "File Size" &_
Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & "File Date modified" &_
Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & "File Date Created" &_
Chr(34) & "," & Chr(34) & "File Date Accessed" & Chr(34)
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
strFolder = objArgs(0)
Set objFolder = objFS.GetFolder(strFolder)
Go (objFolder)
Sub Go(objDIR)
If objDIR <> "\System Volume Information" Then
For Each eFolder in objDIR.SubFolders
Go eFolder
Next
End If
For Each strFile In objDIR.Files
WScript.Echo Chr(34) & strFile.Path & Chr(34) & "," &_
Chr(34) & strFile.Size & Chr(34) & "," &_
Chr(34) & strFile.DateLastModified & Chr(34) & "," &_
Chr(34) & strFile.DateCreated & Chr(34) & "," &_
Chr(34) & strFile.DateLastAccessed & Chr(34)
Next
End Sub
Then call it from the command line
like this.
c:\test> cscript //nologo myscript.vbs "c:\" > "C:\test\Output.csv"
I've simplified your code (based upon your duplicate question) and without trying to handle errors I can see a problem: objDIR.SubFolders fails when one of the subfolders (such as \System Volume Information) doesn't have permissions to be viewed! You need to use another method on Folder to enumerate the foldernames, combine them with the existing path and then trap the error .GetFolder may cause when you don't have permissions. (I don't have time to code that solution at the moment.)
Option Explicit
Dim objFS
Dim objArgs
Dim strFolder
Dim objFolder
Set objFS = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
WScript.StdOut.WriteLine """Full Path"",""File Size""," & _
"""File Date modified"",""File Date Created""," & _
"""File Date Accessed"""
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
strFolder = objArgs(0)
Set objFolder = objFS.GetFolder(strFolder)
Go objFolder
Sub Go(objDIR)
Dim strFile
On Error Resume Next
For Each eFolder in objDIR.SubFolders
Go eFolder
Next
For Each strFile In objDIR.Files
WScript.StdOut.WriteLine """" & strFile.Path & """,""" & _
strFile.Size & """,""" & _
strFile.DateLastModified & """,""" & _
strFile.DateCreated & """,""" & _
strFile.DateLastAccessed & """"
Next
End Sub
VBScript allows error trapping, though not as gracefully as VBA. Try the script below.
On Error Resume Next
'[ ... code ... ]
Dim test_result, divisor
divisor = 1 '' No error
'divisor = 0 '' raise error #11
'divisor = "zero" '' raise a different error
test_result = 2/divisor
If Err.Number = 11 then ''This line must appear at the point error is raised
MsgBox "Handled Error: " & Err.Description
ElseIf Err.Number > 0 then
MsgBox "Error: " & Err.Number & " " & Err.Description
Err.Clear ''if you wanted to proceed clean from here
End If
MsgBox "Result: " & test_result
ensure the process has permissions. see
You can ignore script errors in VBScript by adding
On Error Resume Next
before the part of the code where you want to ignore errors.
The statement to restore the default behavior is
On Error GoTo 0
And just a remark: Method calls in VB and VBScript don't use parenthesis if they appear as a single statement. So the line Go (objFolder) should be replaced by Go objFolder.
