Hi
I just found the answer to "Find and Replace in VBA" and tried to adapt it for what I'm doing, but it's more difficult so I need some help please. I have multiple worksheets in an excel 2007 workbook - a monthly report. Within the worksheets I have many cells that link to last months workbooks - (i.e I compare last month figures to this months figures). I need the macro to do the following: - Create an Input box for the user to "enter the name ofTHE OLD months workbook" - Create an Input box for the user to "enter the name of THE NEW months workbook" - Excel finds cells with links containing the OLD workbook name and replaces it with the NEW workbook name The problem: After the user enters the NEW name excel asks the user to also select the new workbook from a window and sometimes requires the worksheet to be selected as well. Is there any way to stop this requirement, but to ensure that the revised links work? I tried including "Application.ScreenUpdating = False" and "Application.DisplayAlerts = False", but then the revised formulas turned to #REF once all of the old & new workbook names had been entered (9 times each for 9 worksheets). Also - is there a way to enter the Old and New workbook names once instead of once for every worksheet in the workbook? Old worksheet name: ..../[Plan for Restructuring and Rebudgeting as at 06_10_09 XP version.xls]/Monthly Detailed P&L New worksheet name: ..../[Plan for Restructuring and Rebudgeting as at 07_10_09 XP version.xls]/Monthly Detailed P&L No other details in the links change (i.e. locations like the folder names, worksheet name and cell etc are in exactly the same place in the new workbook so they don't need to change) Current code: Sub Replace() Dim WS As Worksheet Application.ScreenUpdating = False Application.DisplayAlerts = False For Each WS In Worksheets WS.Cells.Replace What:=InputBox("Enter prior workbook words to be replaced in links"), Replacement:=InputBox("Enter new workbook words to be entered into links"), _ LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _ MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, ReplaceFormat:=False Next Application.ScreenUpdating = True Application.DisplayAlerts = True End Sub -- Thank for your help in Advance BeSmart |
