    define value outside module or in an *.ini file

    Hello Gerry and others, many thanks for your feedback - I need some time to try and make an ini file work, though the rest of this week is taken up by other things. Thanks for your help and feedback and I'll let you know once I've found a workable solution. Gerry you are right that my...

    define value outside module or in an *.ini file

    Hello Gerry, I've posted it on another forum already - but in any case it is written in Word using VBA. If you could help me with some simple example, I would be much obliged. Alex

    define value outside module or in an *.ini file

    Hi Skip, can you give me an example of that? I take it that you're talking about the function and not calling values from an text (ini) file? Alex

    define value outside module or in an *.ini file

    Many thanks for below code - that answered the first part of the question. Second about the *.ini file remaining! Is there anyone that can supply the code to call for data from an *.ini file? Regards, Alex Public Function ACF() ACF = "Test 1" End Function Sub AA01() MsgBox ACF End Sub...

    define value outside module or in an *.ini file

    Hello Harry, can you give me a sample code how to do this - I've given you the complete sample code as I wanted to do this, but this didn't work - can you re-write this so it will work. Thanks, Alex

    define value outside module or in an *.ini file

    I'll do that - thanks and let you know if it works. But do you know any 'simple' solution by writing it first of all as a global variable at the top of my procedure? For example: > Function ACF(MsgBox) As Boolean 'This doesn't work yet MB1 = "Test 1" 'This line I want to get from a global...

    define value outside module or in an *.ini file

    Hello Harry, I would like either the code (statement) to call for data in the C:\msgbox.ini file. For example: Sub AA01() Call from C:\msgbox.ini MB1 MsgBox MB1 End Sub This would then open a message box with the text defined in the msgbox.ini file: [MsgBox] MB1 = "Test 1" Alex

    define value outside module or in an *.ini file

    Hello, I think I posted this question in the wrong forum earlier - appologies. But I would like to define text and values 'globally' so that they can be used throughout all modules. Below is an example of what I want. Preference would be to define MB1 and MB2 in an outside msgbox.ini file...

    Hello, I would like to define text and values 'globally' so that they can be used throughout all modules. Below is an example of what I want. Preference would be to define MB1 and MB2 in an outside msgbox.ini file (C:\msgbox.ini) and let the module call for that '[MsgBox] 'MB1 = "Test 1" 'MB2 =...

    Can macro's refer to a setup (ini) file to define colors and categorie

    Hello Bob, many thanks for adding your wisdom to this issue. After the weekend I will give it a try, though the last line about the loop is for me clouded in mystery. Let me give it a try and I'll thank you after for this valuable post. Alex

    Can macro's refer to a setup (ini) file to define colors and categorie

    Hello Bong (Bob Rashkin), re-reading your post, you seem to offer a way to directly import from an macro.ini file a value - do I understand that correctly? Could you give me an example of the first two lines in an ini file? Few things I didn't understand though: 1. parmarr = a.split("=") -...

    Can macro's refer to a setup (ini) file to define colors and categorie

    Thanks Tony, I'm going to give the ini file a good try and will add the code to translate the values accordingly at each category. I'll give you some feedback in due time. The toolbar is a seperate story I can see. I will have to look into that after the weekend. But thanks once more for your...

    Hello Tony, thanks for the info and code - starting to look like I'm getting there. I have a question though: Below I have my ini file: Macro.ini file [Category01] BackgroundColor=wdColorRed FontColor=wdColorLightBlue Category=PRINCIPLE Shortcut=Alt P [Category02] BackgroundColor=wdColorTan...

    Can macro's refer to a setup (ini) file to define colors and categorie

    Hello Bob & Tony, thanks once more for advice, though it is a little beyond me as is. The below code text should be in the ini text file or ...? fname = <your file name> dim parmcll as new collection Open fname For Input As #1 Line Input #1, a;'now "a" is a variable containing the...

    Can macro's refer to a setup (ini) file to define colors and categorie

    Hello Mintjulep and Bong, thanks for your answers. It's true that I've duplicated whole chunks of code to achieve what I wanted to achieve so far - minus the flexibility. An ini file would really be great, though it probably wouldn't change the reference in my personal toolbar to 1 of the 20...

    Can macro's refer to a setup (ini) file to define colors and categorie

    Hello Bob, in actual fact I have about 20 colors and categories - I just gave one sample. Is there a way to call up a msg box to set this parameter? In other words to have a macro that changes the color / category? Regards, Alex
