Help end the testing tedium please
I have an extremely complex template, its ancestry traced to another author,
that I need to test extensively, often, as I add features to it. It can handle up to 60 projects and, when I test it, I would like to test it with all 60 used. I will use 60 imported data files called "Project 1test.xls" thru Project 60test.xls". Presently, you have to repeat the same procedure to import and process the 60 files and, though it is simple and cute, for all 60 files, it is dreadfully tedious, so much so that you can mess it up. So, I'd like some help in automating the procedure. Assume that a custom screen (a "form" in VB editor that is somehow populated more) is presented. It already was designed by another long before I was asked to augment the template. Here is the subsequent procedu The "form" I am presented with has 60 little blank circles which say, "Project 1" . thru "Project 60" beside them, respectively. (1) I click on the blank circle beside Project 1 and it fills it in. (2) Then I click on a rectangular button on that "form" that says "Select File", which opens up a dialog box allowing me to manually navigate to and choose an EXCEL data file for it to import. (3) Once I find the right file, call it "Project 1test.xls" (assume it is the default (last used) folder), I click the open button on that dialog box, which causes it to import the file and do its business, and then the dialog box goes away. (4) Next, I click a rectangular button on the form titled "Consolidate". About ten seconds later, it responds with "This project has been successfully consolidated", leaving you with a dialog box upon which you click OK. Then, I would repeat the exact same procedure for Projects 2 thru 60 using files named Project 2test.xls thru Project 60test.xls", all in the same folder. Can someone give me VB code that would cycle thru this for all 60 projects? Thanks much! Dean PS For what it's worth, I tried recording the process of clicking on a macro button to bring up the "form" and doing these 4 steps but all that was recorded was: Sub Macro3() ' ' Macro3 Macro ' Macro recorded 10/20/2007 by Dean Application.Run "'CPT-10-19-07 DM-3.xls'!Load_Consolidate_Dialog" End Sub |

The option buttons are the 60 blank little circles. When you select one of
these buttons it is running a macro that is using GetOpenFilename. What you need to do is create a table of project numbers and filenames. This can easily be done using an Array statement in VBA Filenames = Array("Name1","Name2","Name3"). You could also have a base name for each file with a diffferent number added for each input. What you really need to do is to post the old code at this website because you need a new macro. You can't just have a new macro call the old macro because the method of selecting the filenames will be different. I think from your description only minor changes will be needed, but it will make the operation fully automatic.

Thanks so much for your help. I'm not sure I know everything that goes on
behind the scenes, so I may err on the side of giving you more than you need. The first subroutine loads the dialog screen. From looking at the form, this seems to simply populate the labels beside the 60 buttons. I have a hunch you don't need it but here that is: Sub Load_Consolidate_Dialog() 'If this bombs, you may have to clear out the names in the hidden "utility" worksheet Dim n As Integer For n = 1 To 60 If Range("projectName" & (n)).Value "" Then Consolidate_Dialog.Controls("ProjectButton" & (n)).Caption _ = Range("ProjectName" & (n)).Value Else Consolidate_Dialog.Controls("ProjectButton" & (n)).Caption _ = "Project " & (n) End If Next n Consolidate_Dialog.Show End Sub It has several buttons on it, such as clear selected projects but I don't use them, so I only care about the two buttons I mentioned. From what you said, I assume that the select file button invokes this macro (but I may be mistaken - it's always an EXCEL file): Function GetOpenFile(Optional varDirectory As Variant, _ Optional varTitleForDialog As Variant) As Variant ' Here's an example that gets an Access database name. Dim strFilter As String Dim lngFlags As Long Dim varFileName As Variant ' Specify that the chosen file must already exist, ' don't change directories when you're done ' Also, don't bother displaying ' the read-only box. It'll only confuse people. lngFlags = ahtOFN_FILEMUSTEXIST Or _ ahtOFN_HIDEREADONLY Or ahtOFN_NOCHANGEDIR If IsMissing(varDirectory) Then varDirectory = "" End If If IsMissing(varTitleForDialog) Then varTitleForDialog = "" End If ' Define the filter string and allocate space in the "c" ' string Duplicate this line with changes as necessary for ' more file templates. strFilter = ahtAddFilterItem(strFilter, _ "Access (*.mdb)", "*.MDB;*.MDA") ' Now actually call to get the file name. varFileName = ahtCommonFileOpenSave( _ OpenFile:=True, _ InitialDir:=varDirectory, _ Filter:=strFilter, _ Flags:=lngFlags, _ DialogTitle:=varTitleForDialog) If Not IsNull(varFileName) Then varFileName = TrimNull(varFileName) End If GetOpenFile = varFileName End Function Lastly, the consolidate button uses this macro (which may be a nightmare to follow, as even I have had my hand in adding to it): Sub Consolidate_Project() Dim i As Integer Dim t As Integer Dim n As Integer Application.EnableEvents = False Application.ScreenUpdating = False ConFile = FileNameOnly(FileName) ' 'Check to see if a file was selected ' If FileName = "" Then MsgBox ("Please select a project file to consolidate."), vbCritical Exit Sub Else End If ' 'Check to see if a project location was selected ' t = 0 For i = 1 To 60 If Consolidate_Dialog.Controls("ProjectButton" & (i)).Value = True Then t = t + 1 Else End If Next i If t = 0 Then MsgBox ("Please select a project location to consolidate to."), vbCritical Exit Sub End If ' ' Use the selected option button ' n = 1 Do Until Consolidate_Dialog.Controls("ProjectButton" & (n)).Value = True n = n + 1 Loop ' 'Select the project to consolidate to. ' If Sheets("Utility").Range("I" & (n + 40)) "" Then Prj_Sht = Sheets("Utility").Range("I" & (n + 40)) Else Prj_Sht = Sheets("Utility").Range("G" & (n + 40)) End If 'Get the Project Worksheet ready for import. Sheets(Prj_Sht).Activate 'ActiveSheet.Range("A1").ClearContents' changed by DA ActiveSheet.Range("A1:CN230").ClearContents 'changed by DA ' 'Perform the Consolidation ' Workbooks.Open (FileName) If SheetExists("Output") = True Then 'Import Project Name Sheets("Plan Input").Select ActiveSheet.Range("A2").Select Application.CutCopyMode = False Selection.Copy ThisWorkbook.Activate ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(Prj_Sht).Select ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _ False, Transpose:=False 'added by DA on 9/7/06 to paste names into worksheet Sheets("Names").Select ActiveSheet.Range("G3").Select ActiveCell.Offset(0, n).Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _ False, Transpose:=False 'end of DA edit 'Import All Data by DA Workbooks(ConFile).Activate Sheets("Output").Select Cells.Select With Selection .VerticalAlignment = xlBottom .WrapText = False .Orientation = 0 .AddIndent = False .ShrinkToFit = False .ReadingOrder = xlContext .MergeCells = False End With ActiveSheet.Range("A2:CN800").Select ' changed by DA in oct 2007 Application.CutCopyMode = False Selection.Copy ThisWorkbook.Activate ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(Prj_Sht).Select ActiveSheet.Range("A2").Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _ :=False, Transpose:=False 'lots taken out here by DA that brought in sections one-by-one 'Clear Clipboard Workbooks(ConFile).Activate Sheets("Output").Select ActiveSheet.Range("K5").Select Application.CutCopyMode = False Selection.Copy ' 'Close the source workbook ' ActiveWorkbook.Close False ' 'Change project sheet name and clear Consolidate Dialog ' ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(Prj_Sht).Select Call Park ActiveSheet.Name = Range("ProjectName" & (n)) Sheets("Utility").Range("I" & (n + 40)) = Range("Projectname" & (n)) Consolidate_Dialog.Controls("ProjectButton" & (n)).Caption _ = Range("ProjectName" & (n)).Value Consolidate_Dialog.Controls("ProjectButton" & (n)) = False Sheets("Names").Select Range("A1").Select MsgBox ("The selected project was successfully consolidated."), vbInformation Else MsgBox ("The workbook you selected is not a valid business plan model."), vbCritical ActiveWorkbook.Close False End If n = 0 FileName = "" ConFileName = "" Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub Let me know if you need more.

Dean: I split Consololidate Project into two subroutines. Just moved around
a little bit of the code and created a new subroutine consolidate. My plan is to just call consolidate for testing. You will need a new routine that will look something like Consolidate_All. Notice I put a blank string at the beginning of the Array to skip the first array member which has an index of zero. I think you may want to pass the new function the Path as a third parameter. I will make the ProjectFile Array easier to enter the names (they will be shorter). Let me know if you need additional help. Sub Consolidate_All() Dim n As Integer ProjectFile = Array("","Filename1","Filename2",.........) For n = 1 To 60 ProjectName = Range("projectName" & (n)).Value Call Consolidate(ProjectName,ProjectFile(n)) Next n End Sub Sub Consolidate_Project() Dim i As Integer Dim t As Integer Dim n As Integer Application.EnableEvents = False Application.ScreenUpdating = False ' 'Check to see if a file was selected ' If FileName = "" Then MsgBox ("Please select a project file to consolidate."), vbCritical Exit Sub Else End If ' 'Check to see if a project location was selected ' t = 0 For i = 1 To 60 If Consolidate_Dialog.Controls("ProjectButton" & (i)).Value = True Then t = t + 1 Else End If Next i If t = 0 Then MsgBox ("Please select a project location to consolidate to."), vbCritical Exit Sub End If ' ' Use the selected option button ' n = 1 Do Until Consolidate_Dialog.Controls("ProjectButton" & (n)).Value = True n = n + 1 Loop ' 'Select the project to consolidate to.

Help end the testing tedium please
Unfortunately, I am not too swift with macros, so I'm a tad confused.
Within the array, do the filenames need the .xls extension? If the names of the file really were test1 thru test60, would the array statement need them all listed or is it smart enough for a ... to work? By path, I assume you mean the path to the folder where the files will be. If so, I think we can ignore that for now, i.e., as long as the last time it was queried, we supplied the same folder, it will use that folder as a default, right? When you say: I will make the ProjectFile Array easier to enter the names (they will be shorter). I don't know what you mean. Are you planning on doing some more work? I tried copying your macro into my file, just using, test1, test2, and test3 as the three project names in the array and I notice that, every time the Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _ False, Transpose:=False command shows up, it is in red font. What could be the problem there? Also, in red font is these two msgbox commands: MsgBox ("The selected project was successfully consolidated."), MsgBox ("The workbook you selected is not a valid business plan model."), vbCritical Thanks!

Help end the testing tedium please
I think I figured out that you meant "It", not "I", below, Can you modify
the code to use a path? Assume the path is: C:\Documents and Settings\Dean\My Documents\AW\CONSOL TEMPLATE\files Dean "Dean" wrote in message ... Unfortunately, I am not too swift with macros, so I'm a tad confused. Within the array, do the filenames need the .xls extension? If the names of the file really were test1 thru test60, would the array statement need them all listed or is it smart enough for a ... to work? By path, I assume you mean the path to the folder where the files will be. If so, I think we can ignore that for now, i.e., as long as the last time it was queried, we supplied the same folder, it will use that folder as a default, right? When you say: I will make the ProjectFile Array easier to enter the names (they will be shorter). I don't know what you mean. Are you planning on doing some more work? I tried copying your macro into my file, just using, test1, test2, and test3 as the three project names in the array and I notice that, every time the Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _ False, Transpose:=False command shows up, it is in red font. What could be the problem there? Also, in red font is these two msgbox commands: MsgBox ("The selected project was successfully consolidated."), MsgBox ("The workbook you selected is not a valid business plan model."), vbCritical Thanks! Dean "Joel" wrote in message ... Dean: I split Consololidate Project into two subroutines. Just moved around a little bit of the code and created a new subroutine consolidate. My plan is to just call consolidate for testing. You will need a new routine that will look something like Consolidate_All.
