Error 53 File Not Found When Printing
a small C# app to my database as a helper tool. I have tried a couple of different ideas from stackoverflow itself, including the ShellAndWait utility and another on that page. I have a button on a form. When you click this button, it should run another application that I am currently storing in %APPDATA%/program/ This is the code that is currently active: Private Sub BtnImport_Click() Dim file As String Dim hProcess as Long file = vba runtime error 53 file not found dll Environ("APPDATA") & "\program\component_import.exe" 'This is the standard version, which apparently does nothing at this time. hProcess = Shell(file, vbNormalFocus) 'This is the RunApplication version I got from here earlier. It ends 'with "Successfully returned -532462766 import_funcs.RunApplication(file) 'This is the ShellAndWait version, which gives me a "File not Found" error import_funcs.ShellAndWait(file, 0, vbNormalFocus, AbandonWait) End Sub I had changed the original shell out for both the ShellAndWait module and another similar module. Neither of those options work any differently in terms of my application not starting. I have double-checked that "file" is correct (It points to C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\program\component_import.exe). I have double-checked to make sure that my app is in the correct location. It runs fine if I double-click from file explorer. It says Run-time error '53': File not found. whenever I attempt to run it from MS Access. Any suggestions? Edit: As an aside, the path itself does not contain any spaces. Edit: Added some additional code.

And consider to change cmd calling with /C in the syntax as follows: Call Shell(Environ$("COMSPEC") & " /C F:\Financial\Data\Reports\ExpensesYTD\Batch1.bat", vbNormalFocus) 'or even Call Shell("cmd /C F:\Financial\Data\Reports\ExpensesYTD\Batch1.bat", vbNormalFocus) The /C argument ensures that the cmd window is automatically closed when the batch file finishes executing share|improve this answer edited Nov 30 '14 at 20:10 answered Nov 27 '1

However, the file is most definitely there as I have run it through the Start Menu\Run as well as through error 53 file Windows Explorer. How do I run/launch the SnippingTool from within Excel? Please help. VBA Code (as follows) Please Login or Register to view this content. Additional Information : This Macro is a part of a custom tab on the Ribbon where I would like to provide a few tools such as "Calculator", "Notepad", "Snipping Tool". These would come really handy when a user is working with this specific workbook. The same code for Calculator and Notepad works fine, but for the Snipping Tool it doesn't. However, as I would be sharing this workbook with different users, the solution needs to be such that all the necessary code/objects should be on this one single workbook.

I am trying to open MS Project 2007 and connect to MS Project Server 2007 based on windows authentication all from either Excel 2007 or 2010. Everything works fine on both versions of Excel if its running on a Windows XP machine. The problem occurs when I attempt to run the code in a Windows 7 machine with Excel 2010. When the code gets to the Shell function, where it attempts to open MS Project 2007 and connect to MS Project Server 2007, the Error 53 message appears, file not found and that only on one machine, my bosses. I've tried it on other similar machines and it runs well.(Win7 / Excel 2010) On my bosses machine, I take the value that passes through the Shell function and paste it in the run command and it does what it should, opens and connects to MS Project Server. Can anyone shed some light on this? Code: '---connect to Project Server--- sServer = "http://xxx-xxx/XXX" sServerString = "winproj.exe /s """ & sServer Shell sServerString I've already set the object before this, if it matters... Code: Set oP = GetObject(, "msproject.application") Thanks in advance.
