Failed to add footer one of work sheet, Thanks
 

My goal:

My first time on VBA. The code will copy the sheet from the workbook where
this code resides to every excel file under a xml folder, format some cells
in it , and then add footer to all the sheets(total 2). the problem is that
only the newly copied sheet in the target file is added footer to. All the
code is attached below. I'd appreciate it!


Public Sub runCleanup()

Dim fs, f, f1, fc
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFolder("Z:\8th_warning\output\xml\")
Set fc = f.Files

Dim unit As String
Dim basebook As Workbook
Dim mybook As Workbook
Set basebook = ThisWorkbook

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each f1 In fc
Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(f1)
mybook.Sheets(1).Activate

unit = Right(Left(ActiveWorkbook.Name, Len(ActiveWorkbook.Name) - 4), 4)
Call format_this_workbook1(unit)

basebook.Worksheets(1).Copy befo=mybook.Sheets(1) 'copy overview to
each school


ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="Z:\8th_warning\output\xls\" & _
Left(ActiveWorkbook.Name, Len(ActiveWorkbook.Name) - 3) & "xls", _
FileFormat:=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

End Sub

Private Function format_this_workbook1(unit As String)

Dim FinalRow, FinalCol As Integer

FinalRow = Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Row
FinalCol = Range("A:Q").End(xlToRight).Column - 1

Range("B1").Resize(FinalRow, FinalCol).Select
With Selection
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
.VerticalAlignment = xlBottom
End With

Range("A2:A2").Select

For Each ws In Worksheets
ws.Activate
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.LeftFooterPicture.Filename = "z:\logo\rea_logo_sm2.bmp"
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftFooter = "&G" & Chr(10) & "http://research.cps.k12.il.us"
.CenterFooter = "Page &P of &N"
.RightFooter = "Unit " & unit
.Order = xlOverThenDown
.CenterHorizontally = True

Avoid using select method. Instead specifically call out worksheets and
workbooks like code changes below.

Dim fs, f, f1, fc
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFolder("Z:\8th_warning\output\xml\")

Dim mybook As Workbook
Set basebook = ThisWorkbook

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For Each f1 In fc
Set mybook = Workbooks.Open(f1)
With mybook.Sheets(1)

Call format_this_workbook1(mybook)

'copy overview to each school
basebook.Worksheets(1).Copy befo=mybook.Sheets(1)


mybook.SaveAs Filename:="Z:\8th_warning\output\xls\" & _
Left(ActiveWorkbook.Name, Len(ActiveWorkbook.Name) - 3) & "xls", _

mybook.Close

Failed to add footer one of work sheet, Thanks
 

thanks you so much Joel! I tried the code, but it stopped at "With
myubook.Sheets(1) " in Function format_this_workbook1(mybook As Workbook)
with error "Object Required". Can you please help a little further. I'd
really appreciate it!

It works!: Failed to add footer one of work sheet, Thanks
 

It works! I really appreciate your help, Joel! I found the problem. It's was
just a typo. Actually I am a SAS developer. Now I found VBA is real fun too.
Thanks again!

Best,
Jerry.
