query code failes on different PC

[Leanne]

Hi,

I have the following code to refresh a query and it works fine until I
install the file on another PC.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Sheets("Invoice Due").Activate
Range("A7").QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
MsgBox "Refresh complete"
End Sub

It shows it failing on line
Range("A7").QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

Can any one help?

Check the query table definition, it is probably attempting to access an
external file that is not on your new machine.

Try...
Sheets("Invoice Due").Range("A7").QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

hi
unless the pcs are accessed the file from a common file on the network, each
pc must have the data source declared because the file path to the data
soruce may be different from different pcs.

Leanne,

You will probably have to update the location of your data file in your
query...

Select DATA | IMPORT EXTERNAL DATA | EDIT QUERY

Hi All,

Thank you all for your comments. I was hoping to make this file plug and
play but I guess that will not be the case and I will have to install it on
each computer myself - the users will not get it right! If only they were
networked..............

 

[Leanne]

I have tried this but I am not to sure how to change the file path. When the
first box comes up in edit it lets me chose the new location but then after
entering the dates it gives me the following messsage [Microsoft][ODBC Excel
Driver] and then the file path is an invalid path but will not let me do
anything more. Either that or I get a runtime error!

Please help

Is there anything different about their version of Excel?

Did they get a full install?

You may need to get out the Installation CD and see if there were any
features overlooked during install that may be causing a problem with this
issue...

One more thought... do you have both the basic Addins checked (Analysis
Toolpack, and the Analysis Toolpack - VBA)? Reaching, but it may help...

Hi Mark,

I did not have these checked on my development computer. What difference
there is between excel is 2000 & 2003 version. I do not know what the other
users will have but would guess they will be the same or newer versions.

I am not sure...

What version of Excel is on your developers PC?

You should check to see if it was a full installation....

There may be some DLLs, OCXs, etc. that did not get installed on the other
PCs. These files may be the answer as to why the calendar controls are not
working.

Did you get my email explaining how to set them up?

Here is a link if you needed to look it over...

http://www.graceba.net/~wmivey/Calendar_Controls.xls

If these controls are missing from your "Additional Controls" list, then I
would suspect that that particular PC did not have a full Office
installation.
