Excel Vba Error 1004 Cannot Insert Object
Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign up Getting “Cannot Run the Macro…” Error in VBA up vote 1 down vote favorite 1 I recently learned how to program in VBA and have gotten some extremely helpful assistance excel vba error 1004 application-defined or object-defined error by reading through the previously asked questions and answers on this site. However, I have encountered a problem in one of my programs that doesn't appear to be addressed very directly. So I'll ask it here. I am making a Powerpoint macro that will automatically update some slides with new data. For one slide that contains an excel table, I want the macro to open up an excel file, run an existing macro in the excel file to excel vba error 1004 select method of range class failed populate the spreadsheet with new data, and finally copy the table over to the powerpoint slide. My code so far (without the copy over portion) is this: Private Sub GetProposals() Dim myXL As Excel.Application Dim myXLS As Excel.Workbook Dim ws As Excel.Worksheet Set myXL = New Excel.Application Set myXLS = GetObject("K:\Jackson\Proposal Summary Master.xlsm") Set ws = myXLS.Sheets(1) ws.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden myXLS.Sheets("VLOOKUP").Range("J1").Value = "EPL" myXL.Run ("'K:\Jackson\Proposal Summary Master.xlsm'!BABox_Change") End Sub It runs correctly until I reach the "myXL.Run..." line. I get a message saying "Run-time error '1004': Cannot run the macro "K:\Jackson\Proposal Summary Master.xlsm'!BABox_Change'. The macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled." The excel macro runs fine when I open up the file directly and start it that way. I am somewhat stuck on what I should do next. Does anyone have some suggestions? excel vba powerpoint share|improve this question edited Sep 11 '15 at 4:17 pnuts 33.8k63769 asked Aug 15 '13 at 0:48 user2684387 8113 It could be very tricky when calling macros in other file in another app. You should make the Excel to Open that file before trying to call that macro. And remove the folder path in the .Run argument. Depends on how the macro in Master.xlsm is written, it may not produce anything. –PatricK Aug 15 '13 at 1:00 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes

I have the following code, which is activated by the click of a error 1004 button in a userform.It is supposed to runa macro saved in the "ThisWorkbook" part of the VBAProject. For some reeson which is a mystery to me, when I go through the process step by step (with F8), no error appears - it does everything as I want it, but when i try to run the whole thing in one go (F5) it produces a "run-time error 1004" and says "Cannot run the macro '"!Import_from _Prodn'. The excel vba error macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled." Can anyone shed any light?

have a number of different macros, each in a separate workbook. Now I want to create a macro in a new workbook that will open each workbook one at a time and run the macro contained in that workbook. My first attempt at this yielded the following error: Run-time error '1004': Cannot run the macro 'report1'. The macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled. (The macro in the target workbook is defined as Public Sub Report1() and the one function in the code module is also defined as Public Function Find_col()) I did some experimenting and created two other workbooks with very simple macros (msgbox with text to show me what was executing) and then called them from the same workbook that I was starting to develop. I was able to execute both of the simple macros but still not able to execute the macro I really want to run. What should I look for in the target macro that is different from the two macros that I can successfully run?

It seems that if the filename of the other workbook that has the macro I want to run has a space charater in it then the runtime error is produced. Seems strange that a valid filename would cause this error but after removing all the spaces everything worked as expected. John Keith John Keith, Feb 23, 2010 #2 Advertisements Dave Peterson Guest Are you using application.run to run the macro? If yes, then maybe... dim wkbk as workbook set wkbk = workbooks.open(filename:=yourpathandfilename, readonly:=true) application.run "'" & wkbk.name & '!macronamehere" Those apostrophes are important.
