Migrating custom excel macros

Hi Everyone. I am currently migrating from XP to Win 7 replacements and refreshes. Everything is going swell except macros are not coming over during the replacements. We are using sccm 2012 r2 cu1.
Can someone suggest a solution?
Thanks

Custom Excel macros can't be accessed by new admin user, only original developer

Excel macros created several years ago using NI Measure are not accessible to users other than the original developer. We are using Win 2000 OS, NI Measure version 1.2 upgraded from version 1.0, and Microsoft Office Excel 2003 SP1. Even if the user has the same admin rights as the original developer of the macro, they cannot access it. The macro is accessible and works fine when the original developer logs into the win 2000 pc with his login name and password. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know how we can resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Alex H.

Alex,
The first thing to try would be to install the patch for Measure (Measure Patch 1.2c) if you haven't already. Do you have this same issue when trying to access Macros not created by Measure? Unfortunately, the best I could find on Macro and Measure issues were the following KBs.
General Measure Support KB
Macro and Measure Support KB
Hope this helps!

Execute Infopackage Through BAPI Using Excel Macro (BAPI_IPAK_START)

Hi everyone,
I have a problem when execute infopackage through BAPI using excel macro. I have create a button in macro. When this button is clicked, BAPI for trigger InfoPackage will executed (BAPI_IPAK_START) and this button will disabled.
After this process completely done (traffic indicator for the request is green in update rules), the button will enabled again.
Here the subroutine or pseudocode that i will write :
Private Sub ClickButton()
Begin
1. ThisButton.Activated = False --> Disabled Button
2. Call BAPI/custom Function Module to execute InfoPackage (BAPI_IPAK_START)
4. ThisButton.Activated = True --> Enabled Button
End
The problem is i need some statement like this between statement no 2 and statement no 4
Statement That I Want :
3. Wait Until BAPI Execute Completely
So user can click this button again only after the process is finished completely. I don't know how to do this in macro (in ABAP i know i can use "WAIT ... SECOND"), others said this can be done using event in schedule option at infopackage. Anyone,please help me.
Thank you.
Regards,
Satria B

How to run excel macros using lookout

Hi,
I want use Excel macros for generating custom reports.Is it possible to run macros using run object in lookout
thanks

Hi,
I am pretty sure you can activate macros in Excel using the Run object in Lookout. I can think of two ways you can do this:
1. You can setup your Excel to run macros on startup using the Auto_Activate method. In this case, you will just launch excel with your workbook using the Run object and that should run the macros automatically. No brainer!
2. To better control as to when the macros are run we can assign in Excel some shortcut keys for their launching. We then would need to simulate these keystrokes to launch our macros. This can be done using the SendKeys method and some scripting, WHS Scripting for instance. See this pos
t for a scripting example which simulates Alt+Tab keys to bring-to-front an app.
You will launch the script from the Run object and this in turn launches Excel and then simulates the keys for luanching the appropriate macros. I admit this is kinda involved, but hey it works!
Hope this helps,
Khalid

Acrobat have features similar to excel macros?

Does acrobat have a feature similar to excel macros? Example, clicking a button on title page starts a new form page with logo and questions already in place? The problem is the number of forms per customer is different so I would need the title page to have a built in function that generates new form pages.

Acrobat uses the JavaScript scripting language to provide automation code.
Acrobat also has the ability to edit the tool bars.
There is a built in tool to insert or add a new blank page.
One can also create a template that can be used create a new page from itself and it can include images and form fields. And if you program it correctly the fields will be renamed for each page and the scripts for performing the calculations will automatically adjust for the added page.

LMSW or Excel macro...that is the question

Hi all,
I've written an interface that uploads planned independent requirements from a spreadsheet...couldn't have done it without the assistance of this forum of course...thank you!!! Now I've been handed a spreadsheet from a legacy system that contains requirements data. I've been asked to convert this existing spredsheet to the new format so the data can be loaded via my program. So I'm struggling with the idea of creating an Excel macro to convert the legacy file to the new format or use LSMW to perform the data load directly. I know nothing about LSMW. also, I had to create a custom BAPI from the SAP provided version to meet all of the functional requirements. Can someone give me some advice on how to best proceed?
regards,
Mat

Hi Mathew,
Since u have already written a interface to update the PIR data guess you can use the same program to upload the data from the legacy spreadsheet and massage the data in the custom program itself and bring the data into a format which ur current program can accept. Since u already have a program just using them would make life more easy.
Cheers

Running Excel macros from ABAP

Hello everyone,
I am trying to execute an Excel macro from an ABAP program. We are currently on a 46C system. While doing some research on help.sap.com I came across the method execute_macro in class i_oi_document_proxy. Ive never used methods in ABAP before and Im not really sure what Im doing. Has anyone got this to work? When I try to run the program it dumps with error OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED.
Thanks,

Hi,
Please correct me if I am wrong but it seems that you have not fetched a handle to the document object before issuing the statement CALL METHOD document->execute_macro. Hence the error OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED is being dislayed. If you want to use SAP Desktop Office Integration using ABAP Objects, take a look at this article at http://www.intelligenterp.com/feature/archive/ or http://www.sapinfo.net/public/en/index.php4/article/comvArticle-193333c63b4bd807d2/en/articleStatistic
Hope this helps.

Excel macro error after deploying in Weblogic

Halo,
I have written excel macros and it is working fine.
but if the same file if i try to open from hyperlink after deploying in Weblogic server , I get the error
"error occured initializing the VBA libraries.
If Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) was not installed, or was set to Install on first use,
(advertised, or set to install on demand) you may receive this error message.
Depending on the mode of installation used and the rights of the user to change current settings,
it is possible to install VBA through Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Microsoft Office, Add or Remove
features. If Visual Basic for Applications is not listed as an installable feature of Office, the administrator
of your system may have disabled it so it is impossible for you to install it. If VBA is not installed,
it is impossible to run VBA applications/projects on this computer. "
1. Even though Excel VBA application is installed in my machine , why am i getting this error.??
2. I would like to know is there any way to open the excel file even though if the excel software is not installed in client machine??
Appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Hi,
I do not see any reason for this to not work.
Is there any difference between the preferences for RX and RXI. Please go to "edit" -> "Preferences" -> "Security(Enhanced)" and uncheck "Enable protected mode at startup".
Are you able to open any pdf from command line with the same command:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" <<PDF_FILE>>

Using Excel macros & change properties

Hi,
1) my program use Excel macro via a runtime.exec(cmd). I want to use JWS to deliver new versions of application but if I have to put my macros in a jar file how can I reach them (no problem with a file propertie or with gif ressources).
2) how can I change default properties ("Dossier des applications" in French maybe Applications dir in advanced) wich is enabled in the window.
thanks a lot
Sophie

1) my program use Excel macro via a runtime.exec(cmd).
I want to use JWS to deliver new versions of
application but if I have to put my macros in a jar
file how can I reach them (no problem with a file
propertie or with gif ressources).You have a lot of options how to do this.
I would try to use the I/O APIs that reads the macro file
from a web server (InputStream is = url.openStream()) and put it
in a local file (FileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(file)).
Of course you would need a local location where to store it, could
be hardwired, or asked from the user.
2) how can I change default properties ("Dossier des
applications" in French maybe Applications dir in
advanced) wich is enabled in the window.I do not understand what you want to do. Explain again.

How do I make an Excel macro and Labview push to copy Labview calculated data into a cell on demand?

Hey there, I am a chemist so Labview and programming aren't exactly my strong point.
We have a Labview program that we run to control and automated valve manifold that has a thermocouple and pressure transducer that displays the temperature and pressure on the "front panel" of the labview file we run. The temperature and pressure of the manifold changes in real time while the labview is running. We must attach a sample to the manifold, take the pressure and temperature, then record those values in an excel spread sheet, one at a time.
What I would like to do is make a key board macro in excel to automatically type in the current read out of the temperature (and another for pressure) into which ever selected excel cell you are on, so that you don't have to switch back to the labview window to look at it. I have a very basic understanding of macros in VB but I don't know how to get the labview to make the read outs available for the excel macros to find it.
Thanks for the help, Here is a screen shot of the block layout of the program.

Why not have LV put the data in Excel for you? You can use Actvie X to do this. There is plenty of information on the forum and knowledge base on how to use Active X and reporting to Excel. Plus you have the example finder. Do you have the Report Generation Toolkit? LV7 is quite old, so I don't know if this is an option for you.

'Edit in Place' for XLSM-files (Excel Macro-Enabled)

Hi,
is it possible to activate 'Edit in Place' for xlsm-files (Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook file)?
For xls(x)-files there is the link 'Edit This File', but not for files of type 'xlsm' allthough they could be dealt the same way with Excel.
I know I can edit this files using the 'Add-in for MS Office' and via the 'Vibe Desktop', but it would be nice to deal them like other Excel-files.
thx
Martin

Yeah, the Vibe docs can help on occasion

How to migrate custom user attributes (UDF) from test environment to production when a sandbox is published

Hi all,
I like to migrate custom attributes from test environment to my production environment. I read OIM documentation and i tried to fallow these steps but I cannot export sandbox and import it because all sandboxes are published in the test environment.
I exported and imported users metadata by deployment manager only. Now, all migrated attributes are in the OIM DB but I do not see these attributes in Administration Console.
How can i solve this issue? Is it possible to export published sandbox and import it in the other environment?
Thank you.
Milan

In OIM 11g R2 you need to export sandbox before publishing sandbox for custom user fields from DEV or TEST environment.
Then import exported sandbox in the another environment.
If you didn't exported custom user fields sandbox from your TEST or DEV in that case you need to create those again in another environment manually. There is no other option for this in OIM 11g R2.
