Thanks Joel !

I have tried ...

Range("E1") = ExportToXML_C("D:\My Documents\Form C 2007.xml","1:1")

and the run-time error message doesn't pop up anymore, however when I
run the Sub Run_ExportToXML_C(), my data didn't get converted to XML
as intended i.e I only got a blank converted XML sheet.

any ideas / solutions ?

Many thanks to anyone who can help me on this.

In excel ExportToXML_C is a function just as if you used trim(). *You dont
need any quotes or application Run. *Because your two pararmeter are strings,
they need to be in a single pair of double quotes. *Notice I remove the

Range("E1") = ExportToXML_C("D:\My Documents\Form C 2007.xml","1:1")

Hi everyone,

I am still a learner in excel / vba. *I am using XP pro and Microsoft
office 2003.

I have copied this UDF code (Private Function ExportToXML_C) that
exports my current data in an excel spreadsheet into an XML format.

Private Function ExportToXML_C(FullPath As String, RowName _
* As String) As Boolean

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

Dim colIndex As Integer
Dim rwIndex As Integer
Dim asCols() As String
Dim oWorkSheet As Worksheet
Dim sName As String
Dim lCols As Long, lRows As Long
Dim iFileNum As Integer

Set oWorkSheet = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("BorangC2007")
sName = oWorkSheet.Name
lCols = oWorkSheet.Columns.Count
lRows = oWorkSheet.Rows.Count

ReDim asCols(lCols) As String

iFileNum = FreeFile
Open FullPath For Output As #iFileNum

For i = 0 To lCols - 1
* * 'Assumes no blank column names
* * If Trim(Cells(1, i + 1).Value) = "" Then Exit For
* * asCols(i) = Cells(1, i + 1).Value
Next i

If i = 0 Then GoTo ErrorHandler
lCols = i

Print #iFileNum, "<" & sName & ""
For i = 2 To lRows
If Trim(Cells(i, 1).Value) = "" Then Exit For

* * For j = 1 To lCols

* * * * If Trim(Cells(i, j).Value) < "" Then

* * * * * *Print #iFileNum, Trim(Cells(i, j).Value)

* * * * * *DoEvents 'OPTIONAL
* * * * End If
* * Next j

Next i

Print #iFileNum, "</" & sName & ""
ExportToXML_C = True
ErrorHandler:
If iFileNum 0 Then Close #iFileNum
Exit Function
End Function

This codes together with some others codes i have were saved as an Add-
in.
The issue is the above udf only works in excel at cell say E1(as a
UDF). *I am trying to incorporate the function into another vba module
like below but I keep getting "Run-time error 1004 Macro cannot be
found".

Sub Run_ExportToXML_C()

ThisWorkbook.Sheets("BorangC2007").Copy
After:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("FormC")

With Sheets("BorangC2007")
..Range("D2").Formula = "=IF(ISBLANK('FormC'!R[1]C),"""",UPPER('FormC'!
R[1]C))"
..Range("D3").Formula = "=IF(ISBLANK('FormC'!RC[9]),"""",UPPER('FormC'!
RC[9]))"
..Range("D4").Formula = "=IF(ISBLANK('FormC'!
R[1]C),"""",TEXT(SUBSTITUTE('FormC'!R[1]C,""-"",""""),""0""))"

..Range("E1").Application.Run "ExportToXML_C(""D:\My Documents\Form C
2007.xml"",RC[-4])"

End With
End Sub

Both Private Function ExportToXML_C and Sub Run_ExportToXML_C() are in
the same add-in.
Any help to make it work in vb is very much appreciated.- Hide quoted text -
