Accessing Hyperion add-in

Hi

I am using a Hyperion add in within excel that has an extra item within the command bar called RHXL. Having hit RHXL one of the options is Refresh. I simply want to write a bit of code to Refresh. I have been given the code below which apparantly worked in a earlier life

Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls(" RHXL").Controls(" Refresh").Execute


The sub routine is falling over saying it is an invalid procedure or agument


Please could you tell me what I am doing wrong - as cannot see Worksheet menu Bar anywhere in help

Thanks

Hi Trevor

Thanks for your question

This one is hard to fix without seeing your application with the add in. A few things to try however.

1. The first thing is that the code you posted appears to have a rogue blank space in controls(" RHXL), which would probably cause the thing to fall over.

2. The structure of the code seems odd in that I would have expected something like

Application.Commandbars("RHXL").Controls("Refresh").Excecute


This is because the RHXL toolbar is the command bar and the refresh button is the control you wish to use

If this doesn't work please get back to me and we can try something else

Regards

Stephen

Your observation of the rogue spaces did the trick - thanks. The following code now works in one worksheet. However if I copy the code to another worksheet and run the code I get a 400 error message and it doesn't like it at all - any ideas ?

Sub refresh()


'this macro refreshes all worksheets

Dim WS As Worksheet

For Each WS In Worksheets

Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls("RHXL").Controls("Refresh").Execute

Next WS

Sheets("master").Select

MsgBox ("All worksheets have been refreshed")

End Sub

Solved - problem was in naming the macro 'refesh' a word reserved for Hyperion - thanks for your efforts anyway . Trevor
