Activate Application Window
The bold line below does not work, Word remains the active window. The commented routine is a Chip Pearson API routine to do the same thing, it doesn't work either. If infobox = vbOK Then 'wordapp.Activate AppActivate "Microsoft Word" print_dialog = wordapp.Application.Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint).Show If print_dialog = 0 Then AppActivate "Microsoft Excel" 'Call ActivateExcel End If End If

Using Vlookup To Activate Cell
i'm trying to combine vlookup and activecell here. based on value that the user enter it'll activate the first cell on the row. example: a1:id a2:1 a3:2 a4:3 b1:name b2:josh b3:alex b4:ray the user will input the id, and using vlookup i want to find the id and set the first column as an activecell. So for example the user input is 3, i want a3 to be the activecell.

Activate Cell In Column B
I have code that calls a dataform when I click on a command button. Regardless of where I am in the row, the command button is in column A. I want the selected cell to move to column B in the same row so that when the userform displays it will show the correct data. (I have used Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() Container.Value = ActiveCell.Value PONumbers.Value = ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Value SizeType.Value = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value Vessel.Value = ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Value 'etc End Sub to populate my userform. Can I add something in my call code to also select the cell I want? Or alter the initialization code to start at the beginning of that row?

Activate A Macro When A Cell Changes
I have an excel file that I want a macro to run when the cell changes to "Yes" (location B21). The cell options right now in a drop down list is "Yes" or "No". The Macro is called helper. How do I get this to work when they pick yes or no from the drop down list. I wanted to attach the file in this post, but it will not let me. I can email it to anyone who would like to work on it.

Activate Cell Address Behind Object
I have a piece of clip art in a cell (that moves around in the right cell when i filter/sort the data). i need to know how to select/activate the cell that a piece of clip art housed in. is there a way to say at the beginning of the macro to select the cell behind the picture? Macro works by offsetting a few cells to the left and pulling the name of the item in that row and then going to another worksheet that is named the same thing as what is in the cell i offset to. If i click on the cell behind the picture first then it works but if i have a diff cell activated when i click the picture it of course doesnt work - so all i need is a way to activate the cell behind the picture.

Creating A Pop-up Window With Specific Cell Data
I'm basically creating a file where a userform comes up when you open the workbook, blocks the access to the actual workspace so that no manual entry can be done. What the userform allows you to do is add a new entry to the database (the userform has some text boxes where we type in stuff like location and name or age) after having found the next empty row in the enormous database (3.000 lines) After having clicked the OK button in the userform and added the data to the database, I would like the userform to have a pop-up message box with specified text like: "The number assigned to this entry is:" and then I would like to add a variable with excel using the cell in column D of the same row of the new entry. So the end result would be : The number assigned to this entry is: 01

Activate Sheet Identified By Cell Next To Button
I have an index page with hundreds of worksheets (poor spreadsheet design i know) I am looking for a button to go next to the sheet name on the index sheet, read the cell in the button's macro code and when pushed go to that sheet's location. I can easily make a button to go to one sheet but with hundreds of sheets this becomes a monotonous task. Example Index Sheet Sheet 2 (Button) <-- Button reads the text, takes you to the "Sheet 2" location Sheet 3 (Button) Sheet 4 (Button Sheet 5 (Button)

List Box Of Ranges, Pick One To Activate That Cell
How can I add multiple cells (ranges) to a listbox, and when the user clicks one, it will activate that cell in excell. I thought about have the list box for the text, and a corresponding array that holds the actual range or address, but I cant get it working. Long version: I have a search feature that, when you type a name, it searches through a column and finds the name. Now if there are multiple matches to your string, I want it to add the full name to a listbox, and have the user pick one from the list to activate. So basically, if I search for the name "john" but theres multiple people with that name ("john doe", "john smith", & "john mazz"), it would add the three to a list box, I would pick one from the list, and it would activate that cell. I have everything done except that last part. I have it adding multiple matches to the list box, but I cant figure out an easy way to activate the correct cell when double clicking the item in the list. I could have it search again for the selected full name, but there is likely to be a case where one person is entered twice.

Reference Cell On Non Activate Sheet Macro Code
I have a UDF in Cell Sheet1!A1 that inputs some ranges from Sheet1 and calculates a number. Then I have a sub that calculates the value of this function with Evaluate(Sheet1!A1.formula). However, this only works when I am in Sheet1. Otherwise, I get the wrong calculation. How can I avoid this? I will post the code in the open source forum as it otherwise is quite good and automatically resizes array functions to their proper size.

VB To Activate List Drop Down Boxes When Data Is Entered In A Cell
I have a Validation drop down box (column B) and a defined range drop down box (column E linked to the Totals tab with A2-A31 defined as Products) that I need to activate everytime data is added to a new line in column 'A' and cells in column 'B' or 'E' are selected. Additionally, they need to activate if the cells in column 'B' or 'E' are selected for any of the old data so changes can be made. This will help reduce the overall file size and calculation time for a year's worth of data. There is already some code on the worksheet that looks like it can be adapted if someone knows how to code in the drop down boxes.

Invisible Window
There is a column with a formula and a list validation, and an adjacent hidden column with numbered ids. When moving into the list validation cell the Worksheet_Selection_Change event code saves information about the Target cell - value, address, formula. When a value has been obtained from the list the Worksheet_Change event code looks up a belonging id in a lookup table and put this in the hidden id cell, and puts the saved formula back into the list validation cell. This makes the sheet (or window) unmanagable. When I move around the sheet I can see the cell name in the Name Box, but the sheet itself is not visible. The only way to display the sheet is to add a new window (Window - New Window), choose the first "frozen" window (Window - 1. window) and quit this window. Then the new window is ready for use, but of course with the same limitations as the newly quitted one. Ring a bell, someone?? The funny thing is that in this workbook I also use the same functionality in another sheet without any problems.

Active Window
I've built a macro to run a loop that opens excel files, prints certain sheets and closes them. I have the macro working - to some degree. here is my code (this is excel): Sub RMPProducer() OldPath = "S:RMBS_Performance_Analytics Analysis1 Staging Folder For Monthly Model Templates2007200704VVDeals" Dim t As Workbook Dim s As String Dim a As Window With Application.FileSearch .NewSearch .LookIn = OldPath .SearchSubFolders = False .Filename = "*.xls" .MatchTextExactly = True If .Execute() > 0 Then For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count s = .FoundFiles(i) I have 2 problems. First problem is that I am trying to add a function to make the window close once its finished printing. This actually works - but it limits my loop iterations from i = 1 to 2 (so it only runs 2 times and I'm not exactly sure why). If I don't include the statement - this can run for up to 7 - 8 times (these are very large files) then excel runs out of memory. Unfortunately, i can't set the loop to run from i = anything other than one. So What I would prefer is to be able to make the "ActiveWindow.close" command work - because this way I can run the entire loop. But I'm not sure how to. I tried window referencing, I tried adding a new active Window so when the file opens, its opening in the active window already, but nothing works. Preferably, I need to be able to reference both windows, as my next macro will involve referencing 2 windows (one static - always open) and the other the loop above.

Yes/No Pop-up Window
I have a certain macro which copies data from one file to the other. There are several target files (refering to a given month each) and one source file. The user chooses a month from a drop down list in the source file which modifies a certain cell. The value of this cell decides on which of the 12 target files will be opened to paste the data to. The macro also copies the value of a cell which refers to the current date (=TODAY()) This number is then compared with a the range (value between two pints in time: start and end date of a given month). All I need is some sort of a pop-up window with a header i.e. WARNING. and the window text: You are about to send the information to a file which does not refere to the current month, are you sure you want to perform this action" and two buttons YES and NO in case the value of the current date does not match the range set up by the starting and ending of a given month in the target file. The button YES would then do waht ever the code that was placed before the pop-up window said, save the aplication and close it, and the NO button would simply close the aplicatiown without saving it. Something like that: Sub Export() 'the whole code describing the action to be taken If Range("A1").Value >= Range("A3").Value And Range("A1").Value <= Range("A2").Value Then 'here the A1 cell refers to the current date and cells A2 and A3 to the start and the end date of the month End Sub

Not sure if I'm confusing people in how I explain this... but basically I don't want it to show the scroll bars, the A B C D etc and 1 2 3 4 etc, the tool bars... etc. JUST the specified cells in a sheet.

Document Recovery Window
When I start Excel I get a Document Recovery Window that lists a file that was lost some time ago. I don't need the file and don't want the window appearing. If I click on the listed file, or right click and select "open", "save as", or "show repairs", the window disappears and I get a blank document. I know I could write code that would automatically close the window when I start Excel, but there has to be a better way. I DO want the window to appear when there is really a file that needs to be recovered, but I don't want the listed file and don't want the window.

Close Browser Window
I'm relatively new to macro's. I have an excel workbook that draws information from an exported file from a website. When I do this I get an IE window open which is of variable name depending on the information I picked on the website. I am trying to create a macro that will close this new window on importing but leave the original website window where it is. The name is variable but has the same format e.g. "http://batch+report+info....." with the later address changing depending on the info selected. I tried using a an " If name.like" formula but am too new to macro's to know how to implement it.
