Excel Macros wont show

[alfa 0]

Hello,

I have a problem with seeing the excel macros that i have in my personal.xlsb file when i open it with this line. I am using office 2010.

_ExcelBookOpen ("c:\Documents and Settings\aozben\Desktop\Cap Rep\TK_LO_Cap_Rep.xls")

Is there a work around for this ?

Not knowing much about your problem, one thing stands out. You say you have a problem with opening "personal.xlsb" but your script shows you trying to open "TK_LO_Cap_Rep.xls".

I tested to see if the UDF opens an xlsb extension and it does. My only conclusion is that you are not giving the script the correct path to your file. Check it again. And make sure you are getting the extension right.

personal.xlsb is the file that is in XLstart directory where you store the macros. That file autoloads normally. But not when i run excel with _ExcelBookOpen command.

Please show your code. Is your Excel security and Macrio settings low ?

The code doesnt matter, even if you make a one line code like the one in the first post , it doesnt show the macros. I will checkt the excel security settings.

I have excel 2007 and it works for me. I can show you how you can insert and execute a macro from a file.

Yes i would love to get some help. I am using 2010.

$oExcel = ObjCreate("Excel.Application")
    $oExcel.Visible = 1
    $oExcel.WorkBooks.Open("C:\2010.xls")
    $oModules = $oExcel.ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents
    For $oModule in $oModules
        ConsoleWrite($oModule.Name&@CRLF)
    Next
     $oModules.Import("C:\Module1.bas")
     $oExcel.Run("Macro1",$date2,$FileName3) ;my macro accepts parameters
     $oExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Save
     $oExcel.ActiveWorkbook.Close

This is how i import and run a macro.

Hmm, what i was referring is , you know you get a list of the macros you have in your xlsb file under XL start when ypu press alt+f8. So some how it is not starting the file under xlstart. when i use the _ExcelBookopen.

[Juvigy 43]

Yea , i get it , but it starts on my Excel 2007 so it should be an Excel configuration or something similar.

Maybe the security and trust center settings needs to be lowered. As a workaround you may use the exmaple for inserting macros.

Hey guys.

This got me very close to what I'm trying to do here.

I want to hide the Ribbon (Office 2007), kind of full screen mode, so all I'd have would be the Excel cell grid.

I suppose this would allow me to integrate an Excel grid in an AutoIt GUI.

This is what I use:

Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro "SHOW.TOOLBAR(""Ribbon"",False)"

However, passing this action to the Excel object produces no changes.

Importing and then running the Macro (as shown in the post above) returns an error.

After the error, when I choose to debug, if I stop and rerun that macro, the Ribbon becomes hidden successfully.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for your time,

This is not exactly what the OP's problem was however try:

#include <Excel.au3>
$oExcel = _ExcelBookOpen(@DesktopDir & "\test.xls", 1)
$oExcel.ExecuteExcel4Macro ("SHOW.TOOLBAR(""Ribbon"",False)")

@JoHanatCent

Thanks for your reply. Yes, it's almost off-topic. Sorry about that.

Please tell me, did you try this code yourself?

With it, Excel 2007 returns this error (translated from Portuguese): "there's an error with your formula (...)".

In fact, before messing around with Macro files, I've tried several variations of that command, all to no avail.

The Macro Import method really seems to be the closest to success - in such a way that it works fine when called from Excel itself, but doesn't when called via COM.

Yes I did.

Maybe there is a Portuguese word for "Ribbon" Used?

[footswitch 1]

Well I've tried "Friso" as well, but doesn't work either.

If it works for you and not for me I have to accept that this method wouldn't be reliable anyway.

Nevertheless, thanks again for your help.

Try this:

$oExcel.Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro('SHOW.TOOLBAR("Ribbon",False)')

@DutchCoder did you happen to notice this thread is 7 years old?! Please don't resurrect old threads.

[DutchCoder 0]

I needed it myself and found out it was never soveld on the forums...

See my rebuilt notepad replacement into Excel replacement by rewriting three lines of code.

(Ribbon code in plain GDI is not available. sorry)

That doesn't change that you should have created a new topic.
