I got difficulties with VBA code.
I have a Excel file named Database for GL and I want activate this file by using VBA code then I want to Vlookup some information from this file to my current working file.
I have the directory for file.
C:\Users\user\Desktop\Avromed QSC\GL_Analysis
Avromed QSC - is file folder
GL_Analysis - is file folder
Database for Gl - is excel file.
Please, help me to define proper VBA code for this action.
I'm creating a custom Usercontrol (Userform) for excel, the name is Virtual forms.
The control is storing data in external file that is created in the same folder where the workbook is (example: VFFile.vf).
How to embed this file into excel (maybe OLEObject? or is there some other solution?)
More info:
I created a Usercotrol (ActiveX control) for excel, which uses an external file with definitions (VFFile.vf). And now to avoid that the developer always has to define the filename where this file on his computer is, I would like to somehow incorporate the file into Excel (when he drops this control onto excel worksheet the control will also put this file into excel workbook). Is there a way to do this?
I continue to use an external file because it gives me the possibilities to use this control in other environments, not only VBA with Excel.
For example, I can use it also in Python, or C# or VB.net.
Thank you guys for your tips and directions.

I have an application (running in IBM Notes, using Lotusscript etc.) that create a new Excel object via OLE automation. In my app I create a new Workbook and saving it to a temporary folder (I am saving it as Excel Worksheet w/o macros -> type 52) so that the resuting file is sth. like that:
tmp_abc1234.xlsx
Then I open the file in Excel programmatically. I have an Excel Addin (filename is "Teamoffice.xlam" loaded where some macros reside I will trigger in the custom save actionbar button. In this save method I also call the save function:
Call ActiveWorkbook.Save
Call ThisWorkbook.Save
For some reason Excel creates a file named "Teamoffice.xlsm" in the "My Documents" folder. The file itself cannot be opened in Excel ("wrong file format error") - of course, it's an Addin!
This works well if I have only one Excel document open from my application. If I open a second (or more) I run into trouble: everytime I save on of those secondary opened (or newly created) documents Excel asks me if I want to overwrite that "Teamoffice.xlsm" file.
I added VBA code to ma macro that detects if this file is there and tries to delete it. With no luck of course, as the first instance of Excel is locking that file already. Overwriting the file when aswering the Excel-question dialog works though, but I don't want that question to appear.
Excel doesn't behave like that when using it stand-alone w/o OLE.
Several questions resulting from this behavior:
Why does Excel create this file? Can I stop it from doing so?
How can I delete the file even if Excel has a handle on it or
Can I tell Excel not tohave a handle on this file (if it's there) and let me kill it?
Can I suppress the question dialog and always say "yes, overwrite it"?
Office version is 2010 - and it makes me going nuts... so thanks in advance!
p.s.: I am not that VBA pro, so please be as detailed as you can effort :-)
I noticed that
ThisWorkbook.Save
was the reason. If I omit it no file is created. Strange that this saved the Addin file as xlsm file though.
I'm very new with VBA Excel and i only know the things as far as i need for this report formatting task. My code is almost completed, but what i wonder is, how can i make my program work on several documents?
I mean, i want to choose an excel file via my program, then i want to start the process of report formatting. Then maybe user need to format another document, i want my program to be able to format that document too. how can i achieve that?
Thanks in Advance

The way I am currently doing this is by creating an Excel add-in. To do this, place your macros and forms into a new, empty Excel workbook and save as a .xlam document.
To use the macros, open the your Excel file and the add-in. To open the add-in automatically, save it to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\XLSTART" (Vista).
You can even create a custom ribbon for your add-in using the Custom UI Editor for Microsoft Office http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee691832(v=office.14).aspx (The download link is at the end of the instructions)
How can you make the .xla file if you want to create your own xla? I have the code, classes, shapes, etc....what is the process to making an xla file to point to? I know that I have to put it in my program files folder, and then go through the steps to adding an "add-in" in xls...but i mean actually saving an xla file to point to....
can i simply write all this in xls and then save it as file type xla?? because i have tried to do that but I get an error that it is not a valid add in when I am in a spreadsheet trying to point to it?
thanks!
