Some notes in support of this forum post

Hello,

If you have time to help me make some coding I am sharing to anyone work in more languages and operating system, then please follow the Instructions below.
So far I have results for:
Operating systems XP, Vista, Win 7, Win 8.1, Win 10, Win 11 German
Operating systems Win 10, Win 11 English



Instructions
Download both files and put them anywhere, but both in the same place
WSO_PropNames.xls https://app.box.com/s/ynlabyb11ekmj6m4we99wk9xd7gx0xn3
sample.wmv https://app.box.com/s/leu06ql1fu9uzt59wnoizedg85qoo7k4

Open just WSO_PropNames.xls, it should look something like this, with columns AA and AB empty
https://i.postimg.cc/QN9RhZsF/Before...ll-Details.jpg

Before Tabelle8 SchellGetNullDetails.JPG

Now run the only macro in it, WSO_PropNames.xls and run Sub SchellGetNullDetails() ( Tabelle8.SchellGetNullDetails
https://i.postimg.cc/wxCnB4T0/Tabell...ll-Details.jpg

Tabelle8 SchellGetNullDetails.jpg


After running that coding, you should see something approximately like this
https://i.postimg.cc/ZRg2pVPY/After-...ll-Details.jpg

After Tabelle8 SchellGetNullDetails.JPG



Please now save the excel file and return it to me somehow: For example, post anywhere here at excelfox.com, or in that thread at https://eileenslounge.com , https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=40533

Thanks,

Some Microsoft documentation as of March 2024, here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/of...rror-statement ( Just some of the first bits, relevant to the discussion at https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=40752 )

On Error statement Article 03/30/2022

Syntax
On Error GoTo line
On Error Resume Next
On Error GoTo 0

The On Error statement syntax can have any of the following forms:

Statement	Description
On Error GoTo line	Enables the error-handling routine that starts at line specified in the required line argument. The line argument is any line label or line number. If a run-time error occurs, control branches to line, making the error handler active. The specified line must be in the same procedure as the On Error statement; otherwise, a compile-time error occurs.
On Error Resume Next	Specifies that when a run-time error occurs, control goes to the statement immediately following the statement where the error occurred and execution continues. Use this form rather than On Error GoTo when accessing objects.
On Error GoTo 0	Disables any enabled error handler in the current procedure.

Remarks
If you don't use an On Error statement, any run-time error that occurs is fatal; that is, an error message is displayed and execution stops.

An "enabled" error handler is one that is turned on by an On Error statement; an "active" error handler is an enabled handler that is in the process of handling an error. If an error occurs while an error handler is active (between the occurrence of the error and a Resume, Exit Sub, Exit Function, or Exit Property statement), the current procedure's error handler can't handle the error. Control returns to the calling procedure.

If the calling procedure has an enabled error handler, it is activated to handle the error. If the calling procedure's error handler is also active, control passes back through previous calling procedures until an enabled, but inactive, error handler is found. If no inactive, enabled error handler is found, the error is fatal at the point at which it actually occurred.

Each time the error handler passes control back to a calling procedure, that procedure becomes the current procedure. After an error is handled by an error handler in any procedure, execution resumes in the current procedure at the point designated by the Resume statement. .........

This is the original coding from SamPi , which confused me a bit for a few reasons
The choice of variable names;
the use of a .xlam file; ( and
the Class module is only part of the story )


Class Module:

Option Explicit
 
Public WithEvents App As Application
 
Private Sub App_WorkbookOpen(ByVal Wb As Workbook)
Dim s As String

s = Wb.Name

If s = "test.csv" Then MyMacro

End Sub

Sub MyMacro()
MsgBox "Yes"
End Sub

ThisWorkbook:

Option Explicit

Dim App             As New App
 
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
     
   Set App.App = Application

End Sub
