Hi, all.
I'm an Access programmer working on a .mdb that creates an Excel spreadsheet. After doing so, I need to open the worksheet, edit it to set consistent heading formats, then close it. The spreadsheet creates beautifully, and all of the formatting that I want is applied to it, but I have two glitches when trying to close it: 1) The .Close command generates a "method not supported for this object" error. 2) When I then try to close it manually, I get an error message that reads "A file named 'RESUME.XLW' already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it? I've only done fairly simple macros in Excel, usually creating them with recorder and making minor modifications, so I'm not familiar "resume.xlw". Only found a couple of posts dealing with it when I searched here, and they weren't much help. The sub is below. Can anyone out there help? Thanks, Bruce Sub SetSpreadsheetHeadings(forFilePath) On Error GoTo SpreadsheetErr ' ' Sets headings for new spreadsheet. ' Dim MyXL As Object Set MyXL = CreateObject("Excel.Application") With MyXL .Workbooks.Open forFilePath 'I'd rather not make it visible at all, if I can do it that way. .Application.Visible = True .Parent.Windows(1).Visible = True .Rows("1:1").Select .Selection.Font.FontStyle = "Bold" .Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone .Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone .Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft).LineStyle = xlNone .Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop).LineStyle = xlNone With .Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom) .LineStyle = xlContinuous .Weight = xlThin .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic End With .Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight).LineStyle = xlNone .Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical).LineStyle = xlNone With .Selection.Interior .ColorIndex = 15 .Pattern = xlSolid .PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic End With .Cells.Select .Selection.Columns.AutoFit .Columns("A:A").Select .Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True 'Unhighlight rows left selected. .Range("B2").Select .Save DoEvents .Close 'Causes error. End With Set MyXL = Nothing Exit Sub SpreadsheetErr: MsgBox "Error editing spreadsheet:" & vbCr & vbCr & _ "Error Code: " & Err.Number & vbCr & _ Err.Description, vbOKCritical, "Error!" Err.Clear End Sub |
