Thanks for your reply.
Now I'm getting "c:\....\file.xls caused a problem. Method 'worksheets' of
object '_global' failed.
FYI, i added the "With Worksheets(1).Range("a1:a500")" found from the
example in my Word macro . My full source:
Sub WorkOnAWorkbook()
Dim oXL As Excel.Application
Dim oWB As Excel.Workbook
Dim oSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Dim oRng As Excel.Range
Dim ExcelWasNotRunning As Boolean
Dim WorkbookToWorkOn As String
'specify the workbook to work on
WorkbookToWorkOn = "C:\Program Files\Symantec\ACT\Template\Custom
Templates\cliffs7.xls"
'If Excel is running, get a handle on it; otherwise start a new instance of
Excel
On Error Resume Next
Set oXL = GetObject(, "Excel.Application")
If Err Then
ExcelWasNotRunning = True
Set oXL = New Excel.Application
End If
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
'If you want Excel to be visible, you could add the line: oXL.Visible = True
here; but your code will run faster if you don't make it visible
oXL.Visible = True
'Open the workbook
Set oWB = oXL.Workbooks.Open(FileName:=WorkbookToWorkOn)
'Process each of the spreadsheets in the workbook
For Each oSheet In oXL.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
'put guts of your code here
'Input Style here
Dim Message, Title, Default, Style, c
Message = "Please Enter Style #" ' Set prompt.
Title = "Enter Style #" ' Set title.
' Display message, title, and default value.
Style = inputBox(Message, Title)
'Search for style's row
With Worksheets(1).Range("h1:h500")
Set c = .Find(2, LookIn:=xlValues)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
firstAddress = c.Address
Do
c.Value = 5
Set c = .FindNext(c)
Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address <> firstAddress
End If
End With
'get next sheet
Next oSheet
' If ExcelWasNotRunning Then
' oXL.Quit
'End If
'Make sure you release object references.
Set oRng = Nothing
Set oSheet = Nothing
Set oWB = Nothing
Set oXL = Nothing
'quit
Exit Sub
Err_Handler:
MsgBox WorkbookToWorkOn & " caused a problem. " & Err.Description,
vbCritical, _
"Error: " & Err.Number
If ExcelWasNotRunning Then
oXL.Quit
End If
End Sub
