I am trying to use a textbox and search button in an excel sheet, masterfile. I want to be able to type a file name into a textbox and hit the search button and have it search in a particular folder for that file, open the file, then run my macro on that file (which gathers data from the sheet and puts it into my masterfile and closes the file).
I have code written but this line, If Dir(TDS_PATH & TextBox1.Text) <> "" Then, will get skipped over and passed to Else even when the textbox is not empty... so clearly it must think it is empty? Thank you for any help in advance!
Can anyone help me figure out where I am going wrong? The image is what my masterfile looks like and my code is for the search button and my macro
UPDATE I have gotten the button to correctly open the file but I am trying to alter my macro to get it to read properly/ make it compatible with the next textbox opening file method but it is not working properly, more info in the comments below. Any ideas?
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'Set folder path where the file is located
Const TDS_PATH = "C:\Users\trembos\Documents\TDS\progress\"
'Clear out any info on current page
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A2:D7557").Clear
'TextBox1.Text = "Enter File Name Here"
'TextBox1.Font.Italic = True
'input checking
If TextBox1.Text = "" Then
MsgBox ("Please enter a file to search for")
End If
'If the File we are searching for exists in the path
If TextBox1.Text <> "" Then
'Disable screen updating for performance/aesthetics
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Open the workbook we searched for (ReadOnly)
Workbooks.Open TDS_PATH & TextBox1.Text, ReadOnly:=True
'Copy the range we are interested in
ActiveWorkbook.Application.Run "Search"
'Close the file
ActiveWorkbook.Close (False)
'Re-enable screen updating
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Else
'Let the user know if the file is not found
MsgBox ("File not found!")
End If
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox1_GotFocus()
TextBox1.Text = ""
TextBox1.Font.Italic = False
End Sub
