    VBA named range scope not working through two closed workbooks

    I am trying to do 2 things: Use 2 named ranges.. One works. The other doesn’t.
    I have made a demo to help explain my problem
    I have 3 Files: I have a Main Excel workbook file, usually open, and two other files, usually closed
    _Main File is:- “Main.xls” https://app.box.com/s/u8yy4rcqg0eglvy362v13hyro8cgd9n7 – - This is usually open. It has all my codes in it
    _A DataFile is:- “ClsdData.xls.” https://app.box.com/s/65w1hnih1vvay70vtdzk3da50we3gxvh – This is usually closed. It has 2 data ranges and one named range name object in it

    _____ Workbook: ClsdData.xls ( Using Excel 2007 32 bit )
    Row\Col
    A
    B
    C
    1
    dataA1 dataB1
    2
    Worksheet: DataSht_1

    _A third file is:- “NameObjectFile.xls” https://app.box.com/s/wsxycb3t2y1hmv0wr12cqav0qlcytzjn – This is usually closed, ( preferably ). It only has a named range name object in it

    So the goal is to have a main file, “Main.xls” open whilst the files “ClsdData.xls.” and “NameObjectFile.xls” are closed, and from a code in the main file, “Main.xls” , put formulas of this sort of form in the first two cells of the main workbook.

    Worksheet: Tabelle1
    Those formulas “go” to the name objects of the named ranges with string names:
    “ NameForDataSht_1A1” referring to the range of data file first cell ,
    and
    “NameForDataSht_1B1” referring to the range of data file second cell
    The result of those formulas should then be to have the actual seen values in those two cells as:

    1
    dataA1 dataB1
    Worksheet: Tabelle1
    ( I have determined that, contrary to much literature, you can actually access a named range from anywhere as long as you include the full path and full string range name: the so called “scope” only determines the default path that Excel uses if you only give the string range name )

    _._____________________
    Demo Code:
    (This code is in File: “Main.xls” )
    With all the files in the same Folder, this code can be used to make the two named range Name objects. ( I put one named range Name object in the first worksheet of the file: “ClsdData.xls” and the other named range Name object in the first worksheet of the file: “NameObjectFile.xls” ).
    The code also tries to access the first two cells values from the closed workbook using named ranges in these two code lines: The code lines put in those two long named range reference formulas
    Code:
     '_1 
    Workbooks("Main.xls").Worksheets.Item(1).Range("A1").Value = "='" & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\[ClsdData.xls]DataSht_1'!NameForDataSht_1A1"
    and
    Code:
    '_2 
    Workbooks("Main.xls").Worksheets.Item(1).Range("B1").Value = "='" & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\[NameObjectFile.xls]NameObjectsSht_1'!NameForDataSht_1B1"
    .
    Those are the two things I am trying to do.
    That last code line fails.
    That last code line does not fail if I have the workbook “NameObjectFile.xls” open
    Full Code:
    Code:
    Sub Make2NamedRangeObjectsAndTryToUseEm()
    ' scope named range to first worksheet's collection of Name objects object of Workbook "ClsdData.xls"
     Workbooks.Open Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "ClsdData.xls"
     'Let Workbooks("ClsdData.xls").Worksheets.Item(1).Name = "DataSht_1"
     Workbooks("ClsdData.xls").Worksheets("DataSht_1").Names.Add Name:="NameForDataSht_1A1", RefersTo:=Workbooks("ClsdData.xls").Worksheets("DataSht_1").Range("A1")
     Workbooks("ClsdData.xls").Close savechanges:=True ' Save Added name object
    '_1 access first cell in closed data workbook from main file using named range name object with string name "NameForDataSht_1A1
     Let Workbooks("Main.xls").Worksheets.Item(1).Range("A1").Value = "='" & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\[ClsdData.xls]DataSht_1'!NameForDataSht_1A1"
     Workbooks("Main.xls").Save
    ' scope named range to first worksheet's collection of Name objects object of Workbook "NameObjectFile.xls "
     Workbooks.Open Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "NameObjectFile.xls"
     'Let Workbooks("NameObjectFile.xls").Worksheets.Item(1).Name = "NameObjectsSht_1"
     Workbooks.Open Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & "ClsdData.xls" ' Needed for RefersTo below
     Workbooks("NameObjectFile.xls").Worksheets("NameObjectsSht_1").Names.Add Name:="NameForDataSht_1B1", RefersTo:=Workbooks("ClsdData.xls").Worksheets("DataSht_1").Range("B1")
     Workbooks("ClsdData.xls").Close savechanges:=False ' No changes made - was only needed for RefersTo above
     Workbooks("NameObjectFile.xls").Close savechanges:=True ' Save Added name object
    '_2 access second cell in closed dataworkbook from main file using named range name object with string  NameForDataSht_1B1
     Let Workbooks("Main.xls").Worksheets.Item(1).Range("B1").Value = "='" & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\[NameObjectFile.xls]NameObjectsSht_1'!NameForDataSht_1B1"
    
    End Sub
    _.__________
    Let me put again into words what I am doing. I am doing two things:

    '_1 This works: I have a closed data workbook, ("ClsdData.xls" ). That has a named range, ( string name is “NameForDataSht_1A1” ) . That name, “NameForDataSht_1A1” , is for the first cell in that closed data workbook, ("ClsdData.xls" ). That named range is scoped to the first worksheet in that closed data file, (closed data workbook, ("ClsdData.xls" ) . In other words, the named range object with string name “NameForDataSht_1A1” is in the first worksheets name objects collection of the closed data workbook ( "ClsdData.xls" ). This named range object with string name “NameForDataSht_1A1” refers to the first cell, A1, in the closed data workbook, ("ClsdData.xls" ).

    '_2 This does not work , ( unless file "NameObjectFile.xls" is open ). I am using a file, ( "NameObjectFile.xls" ), only for holding name range objects. It has one named range name object in it which has the string name "NameForDataSht_1B1". This is the name range object for the second cell in the closed data workbook, ("ClsdData.xls" ). In other words, the named range object with string name “NameForDataSht_1B1” is in the first worksheets name objects collection of the workbook “NameObjectFile.xls”. This named range object with string name “NameForDataSht_1B1” refers to the second cell, B1, in the closed data workbook, ("ClsdData.xls" ).

    I don’t understand yet why '_2 does not work. I am not totally sure why '_1 does work either.
    I guess I don’t really understand exactly what I am doing. I don’t really understand what is really going on in the two cases.

    I am thinking that I should be able somehow to get the string reference information that I require , that is to say, for the right hand side of the last equation I have this:
    "='" & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\[NameObjectFile.xls]NameObjectsSht_1'!NameForDataSht_1B1"
    But somehow I am thinking that I should be able to get the referred to string reference of
    "='" & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\ [ClsdData.xls]DataSht_1'!$A$1"

    NameObjectFile.xls as Zip

    I did this..
    Took file “NameObjectFile.xls”,
    first save as .xlsx,
    then save as .zip ( “NameObjectFile - Kopie.zip” : https://app.box.com/s/ih9k6o7s5f3vkb21jyyso0mcqoh82isb )
    and then double click on it and get this: NameObjectFile_xls_xlsx_zip.JPG : https://imgur.com/iAVFSOh




    I get stuff like this:

    ClsData.xls as Zip File

    I took this, “ClsdData.xls” , saved it as “ClsdData.xlsx” ,
    then changed it to “ClsdData.zip” ,
    closed it,
    then double clicked on it and get this:
    ClsdDataZip.JPG : https://imgur.com/oUtHu34
    I copied all that to one folder,
    and put that Folder in another folder:

    I ran the code Sub DoStuffInFoldersInFolderRecursion() which is in the uploaded version of “Main.xls” , and that gives a Folder and File tree something like this if you select one of the above folders when it asks you to select a Folder:

    A brief introduction to objects and class objects in VBA

    Some notes to support other posts: A brief introduction to objects and class objects in VBA

    This is to support a Tips and Tutorial on advanced Event coding. ( http://www.excelfox.com/forum/showth...ication-Events ) It is difficult to look at advanced events coding without hitting some fundamental ideas behind objects and class objects in VBA.

    This thing, "Tabelle2" , ( https://imgur.com/hHHdxyD ) .._
    Attachment 2114 , _.. could loosely be described as a ""worksheet" object with a code in it"…
    Code:
    Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
        If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then MsgBox prompt:="You just changed the value in the first cell in worksheet " & Me.Name & " in the Workbook " & Me.Parent.Name
    End Sub
    Right mouse click Or double click in VBA explorer Project window to get code module.JPG : https://imgur.com/gsz6s2N
    That coding results in you getting a simple message if you change the value in the first worksheet cell :
    Automatic message after change value in first cell .JPG : https://imgur.com/WFINlbq , https://imgur.com/hHHdxyD

    _ The actual object: where what how to get at or change
    _ what precisely/ physically any object is, is not precisely defined. Consequently what we actually use, and where, in order to "use" an object is somewhat abstract and can be different at different times or for different purposes. As example, In the code example above we were using the second worksheet in a workbook. That worksheet object could "physically" be described as the spreadsheet we "see" when clicking on the second tab. Writing into cells could be described as using the worksheet object. But you will see that in the simple routine above, we referred to the second worksheet object using ".Me" ( Me.JPG : https://imgur.com/R5nJ4n9 ). This is because the code module and code window shown in the screenshots above is also often considered to be that worksheet object. This should confuse you. The concept is not precise. I think possibly in the last 20 years there were too many people employed in the computer industry who had nothing to do. They may have gone a bit mad in their boredom.

    _ Class. Class object
    _ If we "go back up" the programming hierarchy from, say a worksheet, then we would often have a class object which could / is sometimes seen as actually physically being a Class code module. So that would be a code module similar "looking" to our worksheet code module, but placed somewhere further "up" the hierarchy. A "Class" in VBA is as vague a concept as most VBA stuff follows the word definition of something along the lines of a blueprint or template or Type.
    One could thing of the Class as the instructions, as simple text , on how to build something, and a VBA object could be built following those instructions.
    A Variable used for an object will generally need to be declared ( Dimed ) to a specific type, and early on in VBA programming one may have, unknowingly, used a Class without realising it, for example , in code lines like these , the word Range , refers to the class Range
    Dim Rng As Range
    _ Set Rng=Range("A1")

    In general, any object will be of a certain type , and the coding or information needed to use those objects will to a large extent be contained in its class. This may or may not be "see able" or accessible to us: it may or may not have a class code module. Such a code module, if it exists, can , and often is, loosely define as that Class object and which we then may or may not be able to access, see and/ or change:…
    Class Class object WorksheetType2.JPG : https://imgur.com/PPUfc2w
    Class Class object.JPG : https://imgur.com/3WDRcpU

    It is very confusing to try and get a clear picture of this structure in the VBA Project window because Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Excel VBA is a disorganised mess:
    On the one hand: We see in the VB Editor VBA Project window the individual worksheet objects modules, but not the Class object module from which they "come".
    On the other hand: We can add a Class module , which we see then in the VBA Project window, MakeClass.JPG: https://imgur.com/GoKHDoq , but usually we cannot see the individual objects which we make from that Class.

    [Class "WorksheetType2" made by us, seen as module ] _ [Class "Worksheet" made by Microsoft, invisible to us ]
    ___ [ "ShTyp2_1" ] _ [ __ ] [ _ ] ….. ___________________________ ["Sheet1"] ["Tabelle2"] ["MySheet"] ["Sht_4"]…..

    So we could make one of those Classes / class modules , for example from the VB Editor VBA Project window by selecting the appropriate right mouse click option… _..
    InsertClassModule.JPG : https://imgur.com/vcZSEAj , https://imgur.com/u1orh81
    _.. and change its name to, for example , WorksheetType2 via the VBA Project properties window
    NameClass.JPG : https://imgur.com/S6u7Gbf
    We could add some simple coding "within that object" to "make that object" , for example a simple "Name" Property.
    BuildAClass.JPG : https://imgur.com/4WGRbDC
    (There is no significance to what that Name Property for the Class WorksheetType2 is at this stage. For the Class Worksheet the Name property is given further significance due to other coding in the Worksheet Class module which we do not have any access to. )

    Class Module, Named by us - "WorksheetType2"
    Code:
    ' Class (Modules) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHa8W52mD1k&index=65&list=PLS7iHfqXNVhK3yzd_4XS5k4zsvnu2mkJC : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjbmsVDnAL0
    Public Name As String
    We can then use that class "WorksheetType2" in a similar way to which we use the existing class "Worksheet". We even get the options added to the intellisense drop down lists:
    SimpleWorksheetNamingCode.jpg : https://imgur.com/5pYovYt
    SimpleWorksheetNamingCode .jpg : https://imgur.com/v8ZUVVx

    So in any code module, we can now do like:
    Code:
    Sub NameAWsType2()
    ' Make a Worksheet object
    Dim Ws4 As Worksheet
     Set Ws4 = Worksheets.Item(4)
    ' Make a WorksheetType2 object
    Dim WsTyp2 As WorksheetType2
     Set WsTyp2 = New WorksheetType2
    ' Name the worksheets
     Let Ws4.Name = "Sht_4"
     Let WsTyp2.Name = "ShTyp2_1"
    ' Access the names	
     MsgBox prompt:=Ws1.Name & vbCrLf & WsTyp2.Name
    End Sub
    The way that our given name WorksheetType2 is used in coding such as that above, supports the idea that in the case of a Class the code module itself can be thought of as the Class object

    Just to help clarify. There will be somewhere "hidden" from us, a Worksheet class module, and that will include a vast amount of coding, some of which will include functions / methods which will be associated with the Worksheet Name Property. I guess if we had access to that it might be dangerous as we might change something that could cause a chaos somewhere, as other things will likely be organised in the Excel we use, based on how that coding is.
    The word New "creates" an object (a process called instantiating ).
    The internal coding which we have no access to will have created the Worksheets already "existing".
    We have to do this instantiating for any objects we create, either
    through instancing a Class which we have made, as we are discussing here
    or
    by accessing other objects not included as default in Excel, often referred to as Binding ( http://www.excelfox.com/forum/showth...ing-Techniques )
    As I am not allowed such access to the Worksheet class, I cannot use Set __ = New ___ , I can only assign a variable to the existing object like Set __ = ___

    Finally, I try to here to sketch in
    _ the "invisible" Class object module for the standard Excel worksheets,
    and
    _ two object modules for the objects I might "make" from the see able Class object module which we "made" with the coding above

    [Class Worksheet]_ [First worksheet object]
    _____________________[Second worksheet object]

    _ [Class WorksheetType2 ] __ [First object (ShTyp2_1)]
    ________________________________[Second object]


    Also we have a code module, which is not so often called an object, and a Thisworkbook ( In German DieseArbeitsmappe ) code module usually regarded as an object.

    It is a mess because it is a mess. :-)

    Here is a special "Excel" file which I have which has 6 worksheets.
    It has the Class object modules and object modules for
    the Application Excel
    and
    the worksheets. ( Each worksheet has a Class object with just one worksheet "made" from it )

( The line number of the code I am talking about here is , as defined by, or rather as held internally by, and accessed in code coding, by a sequential integer starting at 1 at the top of the code window and counting by +1 for every successive line/row )  Because we give a line number in the argument .insertlines Line:= of greater than the current last line number, then lines will always be added at the next free line, that is to say one line above the last used line.
