Footer Program
 

Hi
So I am int he middle of writing a program in VBA Macro that would loo
through all the Excel files in a directory and change the footer
HOwever the code that I have now

.LeftFooter = "&[Date]"
.CenterFooter = "&[Path]&[File]"
.RightFooter = "&[Page]of &[Pages]"

VB i percieving this code (the code that appears in the Vie
Header/Footer Window) As a string.. so its putting the word date on th
left hand of the footer. Any Suggestions

Footer Program
 

Try using the following formatting codes instead.

&D Prints the current date.
&Z Prints the path.
&F Prints the name of the document.
&P Prints the page number.
&N Prints the total number of pages in the document.

i.e.

.LeftFooter = "&D"
.CenterFooter = "&Z&F"
.RightFooter = "&P of &N"

just to add, the easiest is to turn on the macro recorder and set up your
footers onetime manually. then turn off the macro recorder and look at the
code.

This would have showed you the codes Les is talking about.

Also, if you did any richtext formatting or event changing fonts and size
(as examples) this would be an expecially useful approach.

Let me try again
