Send SMS from excel (VBA)

I need help to find a solution that always works to my current problem:
Using Excel 2007 VBA I need to send a similar text message to say 50-100 people using Nokia PC suite. Has anyone found a way of doing this?
I have found a way of opening and then initially controlling PC Suite in VBA by using sendkeys, however it always falls over at some point as it loops through all the staff.
Scenario is simple - I have built a rota for where I work. Each employee receives an email with their rota in it for the coming week; I also want to send a short text message to each employee telling them that their rota is in their email inbox and details of their next shift.
So, the VBA code loops through each staff member, customises the text message contents but always falls over for no apparent part way through the loop. I have succeeded in getting it to work for 5 people, but it falls over when it gets into double figures.
I could get it to send bundles of 5 but there must be an easier way; someone must have tried doing what i'm doing and succeded!
Thanks

Hi,
I would like to know the way in which I can achieve the above. i.e. Send SMS from Excel. even 2-5 sms will work for me..
Thanks...

Sending arrays from Excel into Labview

I want to send an array from Excel VBA into a LabView VI.
The Excel example shows how to send individual numbers and return an array into Excel but not send an array.
Everything tried sends blank arrays into LabView, which can then be modified in LabView and returned to Excel.
A VBA code snippit that does not work is:
Sub LoadData()
' LoadData Macro
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+l
' This is an example to demonstrate LabVIEW's Active-X server capabilities.
' Executing this macro loads a LabVIEW supplied example VI "Frequency Response.vi",
' runs it and plots the result on an Excel Chart.
Dim lvapp As LabVIEW.Application
Dim vi As LabVIEW.VirtualInstrument
Dim paramNames(0)
Dim paramVals As Variant
Set lvapp = CreateObject("LabVIEW.Application")
viPath = lvapp.ApplicationDirectory + "\examples\apps\freqresp.llb\DAK Frequency Response.vi"
Set vi = lvapp.GetVIReference(viPath)   'Load the vi into memory
vi.FPWinOpen = True                     'Open front panel
paramNames(0) = "Foo"
paramVals = Sheet1.Range("j1:j1000").Value
Call vi.Call(paramNames, paramVals)
This code generates an error - expecting 1D array or variants.
However, if I supply the correct array, then LabView thinks it is empty
'foo' is a cluster
'Array' is a double array
Neither work to receive the data

Thanks for the reply but that approach will be difficult. The problem to solve is relatively simple IF LabView could read arrays (it writes arrays easily). Here is the problem:
I want to convolute two large arrays. I have written VBA programs to do this but they take too long - over 30 sec whereas the LabView version take <1 sec IF I could get the data into LabView.
The convolute is part of an optimization program that goes though many loops so that it takes hours to run efficiently AND if I manually change cells in the spreadsheet, then it takes 30sec to come back as VBA does not respect clean cells (for some reason).
I was trying to write a function in VBA to do this calculation via LabView rather than VBA. One way to do this is to write a text file in VBA and read in LabView, then pass the results back or maybe the clipboard as a buffer. That is faster but clumsy. You could also have LabView look for dirty cells and then do the calculation as the server rather than the client. Again, time consuming and cumbersome. I have written pure LabView code to do the curve fitting but prefer to use Excel as that is easier to incorporate and work with the data.   You can do convolute using FFTs but Excel does not do that correctly - they CANNOT make their FFTs into a function (VBA functions cannot modify cells in the spreadsheet but only return variables. FFT modifies cells so cannot be called from a function, only a macro, which then needs to be updated manually). Again, I can kluge VBA (real kluge this time) to make FFTs work as a function BUT prefer the LabView solution, if possible, as I am not sure the FFT will actually save time.
I am not sure if the problem is LabView's fault or Excel's (2013) fault that the variables are not set-up properly. LabView claims to be able to do this. Again, you can pass single variables into LabView and read back arrays but try as I might, I cannot get arrays into LabView.
Any help in sending arrays (maybe Labview expects a variant variable and needs to convert it somehow) would be appreciated. Variants are suppose to be able to be converted automatically but maybe there is a bug in LabView (2010) that does not handle input variant arrays correctly (I have tried making them clusters, double arrays, ect). LabView thinks that all the arrays sent by VBA are empty. If LabView modifies the same array, VBA sees that modification so that the addresses appear to be sent correctly i.e. the array "handle" is being sent to LabView or else it could not fill the array to send back to VBA.
If ever this is solved, I will put on-line the solution for others as again marrying both programs will have advantages. Others may find this interesting is marry LabView with Excel so that LabView does some of the heavy calculations that Excel has kluged.

is it related to udh settings if yes then how do i set port no in settings?if no what are the other ways.

Hi Vignesh,
Might be you can call ActiveX or DLL objects of the software installed for modem from LabVIEW, if it is unblocked.

How to call a labview dll from excel-VBA?

How to call a simple Labview DLL from Excel VBA?
I have seen examples of DLL calls from VB but does it work the same way for VBA? I have 2000 excel and Labview 8.5. I created the DLL and tried to call it from VBA using the same type of code as in NI's website example(ofcourse its a bit diff with 8.5)
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/...
BUT it errors out when called from excel
ERROR: The object invoked has disconnected from its client

You would need to provide more details about the LabVIEW DLL, such as the prototypes of the functions (VIs) that you're trying to call, and your actual VBA code. Specifically, what object you're trying to create. You should also make sure the Run-Time Enginer is installed, as well as any required libraries such as the VISA Run-Time if you're using VISA. Have you made sure to enable the ActiveX server for the DLL?

Acrobat 9.0 Standard. Setting PDF file password from Excel VBA

Acrobat 9.0 Standard. Setting PDF file password from Excel VBA
Hi: I am trying to find a call to set the password of a PDF file that I am creating from Excel Workbook using a VBA call.
I basically have this Excel VBA code that works fine and creates a file.
            pBook.PrintOut Copies:=1, preview:=False, ActivePrinter:="Adobe PDF", _
                           PrintToFile:=True, collate:=True, PrToFileName:=PSFileName
            ' Convert the postscript file to .pdf
            Dim myPDF As PdfDistiller
            Set myPDF = New PdfDistiller
            myPDF.FileToPDF PSFileName, "", ""
BUT, I need to set the password on this PDF file and do not see an option to do so.
Can you provide a solution for this situation? Appreciate your response in advance.
Thanks.

There is no way to set password programmatically using any other dll or any other kit?
I am creating a bunch of PDF files for users programmatically but then they have to go in and set password themselves? This is very inconvenient for users.

Problem with controlling Annotations from Excel VBA

Hi,
I have a PDF document that has plenty of sticky notes attached to it. These sticky notes have been added by multiple authors on all pages of the document. I am trying to import the contents of these sticky notes, their author and the page number to an excel spreadsheet. I am using Excel 2007 and Acrobat Professional 9.0.
This is the code that I am currently using to import the sticky notes, but the problem that I am facing is that when I run the macro -
Same sticky note contents, author and page numbers are imported multiple times
Not all sticky notes are imported, only some of them appear in the final excel spreadsheet
When I compare the number of sticky notes to that in the original PDF file, the number is correct. But the content is repeated content and that is the reason why only some of the sticky notes are imported.
This is an activity that I need to do on regular basis and the number of sticky notes that I need to import to excel may range between 100 to 200. It is really difficult to do this task manually, so an excel VBA macro could prove really helpful.

Make sure you are current with 9.x patches, just on general principles.
The code seems fine – nothing jumping out at me.
You can also look at using the JSObject methods and trying this via the JavaScript stuff – that will give you more access to the Annotation information…

hi,
SMS API(WMA) is an optional package. It is not a MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0 api's.
There are phones which has WMA api with MIDP1.0 support .... Nokia 3650
Seimens has some phone with their own api's to send sms.Check out seimens site for more info
BTW, What do you mean buy sending SMS to Server????
If you want to send message to server you can do it with Http.

How to read ssas cube and role from Excel vba

Hi,
I want to read all roles and cubes in SSAS Db from Excel Vba.
1. First i want to read all the roles which was assigned to me
2. based on the role, i have to read all cube name
Please help me to
accomplish this task.

Hi Jack,
In Analysis Services, Each role contains members, by Windows username or by Windows group, and permissions (read, process, administrator). If the user has the permission to access SSAS database, then the account was contained in one or more roles. When connect
to SSAS database, we need to use an account to log on it, and SSAS will list all the cubes' name based on the role automatically.

I i will make this possible.
Thanks

I don't quite understand what you are trying to do but so far, here is what I have understood.
1. You want to send SMS from Webserver to your mobile phone
2. Want J2ME Emulator to process SMS.
<1> Sending SMS from webserver is quite easy. You have several options:(a) connect a mobile phone to your server and 'talk' to the phone using Gnokii or GSMLib to send SMS. The mobile phone will take care of communicating with SMSC of your provider (b) get in touch with your provider and ask if you can connect to their SMSC directly. Some allow you to connect to their SMSC via a modem connection (c) look for public SMSC's, which are scarce.
<2> Unfortunately, MIDP 1.0 does not allow you to retrieve SMS from the phone... nor does the Siemens SDK, AFAIK. You cannot process SMS using the Emulator as well. You need a real device to test your application.

Help!! Which java jar do I need to send SMS from PC to movil

I would like to know what do I need to be able to send SMS from my Pc
Is there a jar to do so.
I would realy appreciate if someone gives me a clue about sending SMS.
My e-mail is: [email protected]
Thank you very much

Do you have the hardware in place to interface and talk directly with the communication systems of the telecom companies?
I seriously doubt it. So, all you can do is send email messages to their email address assigned to their mobile phone, provided the carrier offers that. Most ofen the form is <phonenumber>@<mobile.carrier.isp>
