May 14, 2009I have two workbooks. One is a no-nonsense form interface that my bosses will use to enter safety information. I'll call this workbook "Form". This file is stored locally on each of their computers. The other workbook is stored on a common drive. I'll call it "Master".
When my bosses fill out the Form and click "Submit", the Master file is opened, and certain cells are populated based on information entered in the Form. This is the code I am using to make this happen:
VBA Code To Activate Second-to-last And Last Worksheet Tabs In A Workbook?
Dec 11, 2008I use a workbook where new worksheet tabs are added and removed daily. Every day I use the second-to-last tab (2nd from the right) and the last tab (far right). What code would enable me to activate and reference both of these tabs individually? I believe it would be something like the code below but I can't figure it out...
View 5 Replies View RelatedOpen Message Box Or Disable Option On Open
Mar 30, 2007how to make a MsgBox open anytime a cell in Column A was double-clicked--and the content of the MsgBox was from the cell in the same row in column Z. I've now realized the double-clicking isn't an ideal solution, as it's easy to click in another cell and mess up all the formulas.
(1) Code that deactivates the "edit directly in cell" option when the workbook is opened.
(2) Code that opens the MsgBox when a cell in Column A is clicked just once (or similarly less fool-proof than double-clicking or right-clicking).
Activate Another Open Workbook
Aug 15, 2008I have 2 workbooks open
Book1 has a call to ChangeBook()
Book2 is empty
Function ChangeBook()
Application.Workbooks("Book2.xls").Activate
End Function
ChangeBook() is located in a .xla file loaded on Excel launch.
Calling the function from Book1 does not cause Book2 to activate.
Running the function via the F5 key in the IDE works fine.
I am modifying existing routines that have problems and being able to activate certain books at will would make the changes much easier.
Workbooks.Open Does Not Activate The Workbook
Nov 5, 2008I have a workbook containing macros that opens a second one (no macros) and does some 'data mining'.
The following VBA is used for that (I use this code on dozen of files and it has always worked, except here):
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
ChDir (WshShell.SpecialFolders("MyDocuments"))
BladNaam = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel File, *.xls", , "Excel")
Workbooks.Open FileName:=BladNaam
TabNaam = ActiveSheet.Name
The problem is that most of the time the newly opened workbook is NOT activated (i.e put on top) and thus the rest of the code is executed on the wrong workbook...
If I put in a Msgbox(ActiveWorkbook.Name) 9 out of 10 times the active workbook is the initial one and not the one that was opened by the code.
tried replacing Active.Workbook with wb (dim wb as workbook).
tried to wait-a-few-seconds in between code
tried renaming

How Can I Activate An Open Workbook By Macro In Seperate Instances
Feb 24, 2009I have a program that has all Excel Workbooks in seperate instances of Excel. There is a very sound reason for doing this.
The user has maybe 3 to 10 workbooks open. There are times when a workbook is active and has a Macro Link to open one of the already open workbooks.
When the user clicks the link, they naturally get an error message stating that the workbook is already open. Then they have to close the error msg and click on the Macrosoft Tab and look thru the list of open workbooks and then click the one they are looking for. Additionally, in this Menu Program the user really doesn't even have to know the name of the various workbooks.
I hope everyone will believe me when I state that this program works berautifully.
Right now I am simply cleaning up and making a few little things work better.
QUESTION When the user clicks on a macro link that is to open a workbook that is already open, how - On error - can I have the macro continue on and activate the requested workbook - - - Please remember they are all in separate instances of Excel.
Since the code I'm using can determine if the requested workbook is already open, I think there has to be a way to activate that workbook.
Workbooks Take Long Time To Activate When Vb Editor Is Open
Mar 17, 2007I have the VB Editor open and am manually activating different workbooks in Excel (with 20/25 modules each), the VB Editor goes through a process of maximising each and every module in the workbook I have selected before I can edit any code or, indeed, do anything in the workbook. This process takes about 8-10 seconds every time I select a different workbook in excel! I have played around with the settings "Full Module View" in the options section of the VB editor, but to no effect.

Apr 22, 2006Is it possible to open a workbook via vba, but disable the macros? I know this sounds strange, but the workbook is coded to prevent users from saving it, and the only way to save it is to either open it with macros disabled or change the variable OKtoSave to true, but the variable is global only to the sheet and I can't find a way to change it through a macro written in my personal.xls workbook.

Close Book1, Open Book2, Activate Macro1 Of Book2
Mar 6, 2010I have this code in Book1:
sub OpenCloseMacro1()
Workbooks.Open Filename:="E:closeopenBook2.xlsm"
Workbooks("Book1.xlsm").Close SaveChanges:=True
Application.Run ("Book2.xlsm!Macro1")
End Sub
It closes Book1 and saves it, it opens book2, but Macro1 does not activate. Why?
by the way. Macro1 is:
Sub Macro1()
Userform1.show
End sub
sub OpenCloseMacro1()
Workbooks.Open Filename:="E:closeopenBook2.xlsm"
Application.Run ("Book2.xlsm!Macro1")

It opens book2, and activates macro1, but Book1 is not closed

Is it possible to remove gridlines and disable all cells on the input sheet except for those that take input, currently validation cells.
