I have made an Excel sheet that uses ActiveX controls (Option Box and Check Box). I have included a couple of screen caps at the bottom of this post to better explain the layout. Here are the specifics:
There is one Option Box Group labeled "InputOptionGroup" with choices labeled: "FirstOption", "SecondOption", "RefundOption" and "NoneOption".
Adjacent to the Option Box is a series of Check Boxes that correspond to the choice made in the Option Box with the exception of "NoneOption". The Check Boxes are labeled "FirstCheck", "SecondCheck" and "RefundCheck". Each Check Box object belongs to the group labeled "OutputCheckGroup".
I do know that the value of the Option Box choices and Check Boxes can be either True or False depending on if it has been chosen or marked, but I do not know how to incorporate these values into the action script. With that being said, here's what I'm trying to accomplish:
...when "FirstOption" is chosen, clear values of all Check Boxes and place a check mark in "FirstCheck".
...when "SecondOption" is chosen, clear values of all Check Boxes and place a check mark in "SecondCheck".
...when "RefundOption" is chosen, clear values of all Check Boxes and place a check mark in "RefundCheck".
...when "NoneOption" is chosen, clear values of all Check Boxes (no furthur action).
Also, there are a couple more requests:Is there a way to lock the Check Boxes from user input? I want the Check Box values to be altered only by the choice in the Option Box.
Take the "GPIN" field, the one on the right is locked from user input. This particular cell references user input from the "GPIN" field on the left. Is there a way to return a blank value when the input field is blank insted of returning a "0"? If you notice, all fields on the right reference blank values as "0".
In the left "Amount" field, I need to display a "$" followed by the value in the input "Amount" field

When I try to open a worksheet that has any sort of macros I get the "error opening file" popup with the request to send the error to Microsoft.
When I check the box to "recover and save file" and proceed I am told that repairs were necessary to save the file
The repairs stated are " LOST VBA MODULES" and "LOST ACTIVEX CONTROLS"
I have not changed anything to my knowledge.
Changine the macro security settings to low has no effect either

End Sub
I am having problems with the named ranges "Make" and "Model" which are on another sheet and with runninh the "EnterPrice" and "Unit Selection" Macros which are in Module1, I get the error message "Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' class failed"

I want to do disable certain ActiveX toggles depending on the value of a specific cell; this cell can contain more than one value that should disable that control. the logic works as follows:
IF Cell="A" THEN Toggle 1=Disabled AND Toggle 2=Disabled AND Toggle 3=Disabled AND Toggle 4=Disabled AND Toggle 5-Disabled
IF Cell="B" THEN Toggle 1=Ensabled AND Toggle 2=Enabled AND Toggle 3=Disabled AND Toggle 4=Disabled AND Toggle 5-Disabled
IF Cell="C" THEN Toggle 1=Enabled AND Toggle 2=Enabled AND Toggle 3=Enabled AND Toggle 4=Disabled AND Toggle 5-Disabled
IF Cell="D" OR Cell="E" THEN Toggle 1=Disabled AND Toggle 2=Enabled AND Toggle 3=Enabled AND Toggle 4=Enabled AND Toggle 5-Enabled

I'm looking for a way to loop through the ActiveX controls (option buttons) in one sheet so that I can have these option buttons reflect what I select on the front sheet.

I have a workbook with multiple sheets. I want to add conditional formatting for a cell on 1 worksheet based on if multiple ActiveX controls are checked (checkboxes) on another sheet. I have 10 checkboxes (now LinkedCells named "G1" -> "G10") on worksheet "Data Entry". The formula should be if all 10 boxes are checked on the "Data Entry" worksheet, cell "A1" on the "Milestone" will be gray. Any clues on how to write the formula for this Conditional Format?

I created a macro to create command buttons on sheet 1 of my worksheet. The created buttons using oleobject and class type: forms.commandbutton1, creates an object with no properties on the sheet (i.e. if you right click on it excel thinks it's an object and not a control.) Is there a way to create it as a control?

In VBA (Excel 2003), I'm wanting to get a reference to an ActiveX comboBox that is inside/attached to a cell.
I can iterate thru all the OLEObjects in the OLEObjects collection of the Worksheet and test the .TopLeftCell property to see if it matches my target cell. However, this seems like a long way around the problem - particularly if there's hundreds of comboboxes in the sheet.
Intuitively, I would have thought there would be a Cell.OLEObjects collection, but it appears that there isn't.
Is there a quicker and easier way to get a reference to the OLEObjects within a target cell?

I have 2 spreadsheets: in a Sheet1 I keep some values and in a Sheet2 5 names of users with special rights (range A1:A5). I want to have sure that anybody will change/delete that names without password. Only the user "Administrator" can do that(I check the name of the user using "Application.UserName"). Additional question: is it possible to still protect those cells if somebody turn off macros during opening file?

I have a workbook with two worksheets, "Main" and "Control".
Both of them are with hidden tabs (unchecked "show sheet tabs").
On worksheet "Main" I have command button which opens worksheet "Control".
The assigned makro is: Sheets("Control").Select
The problem is: when I open "Control" and close after that the workbook, the next time when I open the workbook "Control" pops-up instead of "Main" even though I do not save it.
1. I need macro on "Main" which will allow me to open "Control".
2. Regardless I "Save" or "Don't Save" "Control" when selected and workbook is closed, to open the workbook always displaying worksheet "Main".
I use Excel 2007 (at home) & 2010 (at office).

I have two text boxes on my sheet that I am using as a log in sheet. I am not sure what triggers them but they stop allowing me to type in them to log in and instead are recognized by excel as pictures and ask me if I want to format them. I have fixed them in the past by deleting them and adding new Active X text boxes to the sheet but then after a while they turn back into pictures.
By the way the text boxes have been named T1 and T2 and are used in VBA behind the scenes to determine if the details that are typed into them match existing accounts.

RE: Macro ActiveX Click Control--It stops when on another sheet
Macro runs OK when run from menu.
An activeX click button was put on sheet B.
Right click the control, View Code, Paste in code from macro, then click button.
It runs the part of the macro that applies to sheet B, goes to previous sheet A, and then stops. The range select line for the named range on sheet A is highlighted in yellow. It stops when selecting any range or cell on sheet A, like B2.
Any idea why this code does not work on sheet A when ActiveX button is on sheet B? Is there someplace else that the control can go? Using Excel 2000.
See part of code below, which starts on sheet B:
' Macro recorded 11/22/2007
Range("SortAll").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("T2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
ActiveSheet.Previous.Select
Range("FormBase").Select (STOPS HERE)
Selection.Copy
Range("Formul").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
ActiveSheet.Next.Select
FormBase is a named dynamic range
FormBase=OFFSET(A!$A$2,0,0,1,MATCH(1E+306,A!$2:$2))

Lets say I have this....
PHP
Dim B as Rangeset B = activesheet.range("A1:C3")Dim a(3) As Doublea(1)= 1.2a(2)= 3.6a(3)= .27
B is a 3x3 Matrix of values in your sheet
How would I perform matrix multiplication of B * array "a"?
My main problem is with how to reference then entire array "a" and how the data is being stored (is the array a 3x1 or a 1x3). And if there is a VBA MMULT command or if building my own or using the worksheet one are my only options.

I have been looking into refining the way a couple of big macros that I wrote several years ago work and have decided that instead of loads of inputboxes that a Userform might be the way to go. I have never used them, don't know how to link code to the objects to make them work and can on make a guess as to the right way to start going about this. Need sort of Userforms for Dummies site where I could pick up the basics? I am going looking toward having a box come up where the user can enter about 8 pieces of data and based on that data the macro will then go off and open specific files anc change specific data.

I want to do apparently simple thing but somehow it never works...I must be highlighting wrong or doing something out of order etc.
I have a pivot table. Imagine it showing Dept date anc charge...like this:
Dept Date Charge
51 1/1/09 20.00
1/2/09 10.00
2/26/09 10.00
3/6/09 20.00
55 1/1/09 20.00
1/2/09 10.00
2/26/09 10.00
3/6/09 20.00
etc etc I HOPE I DID NOT LOOSE THE FORMATTING!
Anyway I want the first line (the one that shows the dept) BOLDED. I thought I could do dhtis with conditional formatting, applying it the sheett all at once by saying if the value in row A > 0 then bold the line..........but I am not doing right...

I have an excel sheet that have a large set of datas. In these datas in one column most of the datas are indicated as green but some of them are red. I can pick the red ones by using filter option but I also wanted to show the red cell values in one cell. For example, Cell1;Cell2;Cell3 like this (the ; should be between them). I try to use macros but that is not the program that I have full knowledge about it. S
( Like this
IF
A(i)= red
Then
B(i)=A(i)
end if

I have an active x control command button on the same sheet as some shapes (lines,circles) which are generated from some parameters. I want to be able to delete the current shapes so I can plot the next shape. Below is the delete shapes part of the code, not sure how to complete the code.
Currently, the box is getting deleted as well as the shapes
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim line1_Beginx As Single, line1_beginy As Single, line1_endx As Single, line1_endy As Single
Dim line2_Beginx As Single, line2_beginy As Single, line2_endx As Single, line2_endy As Single
[Code]....
'Calculate positions of line vertices for plots
line1_Beginx = 1000
line1_beginy = 1000
line1_endx = 1000 + CD_2
line1_endy = 1000
[Code]....

I have to rewrite this code so that when i copy the sheet and paste it, to paste one Toggle button with its assigned macro. I don't want the whole workbook cause there are one combo box, another four toggle buttons and a command button, that i dont' need in the new file. So only to insert one toggle button with its macro.
Sub FileSaveCopyAs_Click()
Dim strFileName As String
Dim theNumber As Variant
Dim theFirm As String
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Add
Cells.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
theNumber = Sheets(1).Range("F13")
theFirm = Sheets(1).Range("E1")
strFileName = Right(theNumber, 4) & " " & theFirm
ActiveSheet. SaveAs Filename:="C:Documents and SettingsSecretaryDesktopFacturi" & strFileName & (".xls")

I am trying to create a user form to edit some named ranges. The VBA user form designer is basically the same as Borland Delphi, so building the form itself was easy. What I can't figure out is how to populate the user form with the data from the spreadsheet.
I have a number of text boxes on the form with names like txtTier1Slots, txtTier1Ceiling, txtTier1Floor, etc up to 4.
I have a defined name that corresponds with each item, Tier1Slots, Tier1Ceiling, Tier1Floor, and so on. I'm using defined names because they're referenced in Conditional Formatting on one of the worksheets in my project. They don't exist as actual cells, just name references.
I want to get the form populated with those values. I've tried about twenty variations of the following code, using ThisWorkbook, Workbooks, Cells, Range, Name, and just about every cell reference method I can think of. I've so many different error messages, my head is spinning.

User Form Basics - Populating Text Boxes. A few tweaks later and its reading the data just fine. Some of the specific form objects and range names have changed, but it's the same logic.
Anyway, this isn't just for display. I need to export the data back to the spreadsheet. So, I plugged this line into the event handler for the "Save & Exit" button on the sample form in the other thread:

I have a workbook which is a reasonably standard financial model (PL, BS, CF, etc). I have a control worksheet with a number of AcitveX controls (Command Buttons, Toggle Buttons and Combo Boxes) that drive the rest of the model (e.g., depreciation methods, trade terms, etc).
When the workbook opens I want to fill the lists of the various ComboBoxes, but I can't work out how to access JUST THE COMBOBOXES as a defined collection (e.g., MyWkSht.ComboBoxes[Index] or some such), or as a sub-type of a meta-collection (e.g., MyWkSht.Controls with Type="ComboBox"), without referring to them directly by name (e.g., MyWkSht.MyComboBox).
The ComboBoxes are NOT on a UserForm, but are embedded on the sheet as OLE objects.
I really don't want to have to hard-code the combobox names in directly, because I may need to add/remove them as the model develops - and anyway it's just WAY inelegant.

I've built a spreadsheet with quasi-animation for a physics class on projectile motion. In it there's a animated chart showing velocity change as a function of distance. The chart has on it an ActiveX textbox that refers to a cell that contains a formula showing "V_y = {velocity}". I've tried a number of things to get the display of the textbox to change during the animation. If I break the code at the line that updates the cell referenced by the textbox the display changes. But I can't figure out how to get the display to update while the code is running.

I am trying to create a workbook where the first worksheet has a list of Checkboxes and each checkbox 'unhides' or 'hides' subsequent worksheets within the workbook, depending on whether the box is checked. I can make the checkbox, I can record the macro.
Sub Test_checkbox()
' Test_checkbox Macro
Sheets("Dist").Visible = True
End Sub
How do I link them together? Ideally, I'd like to have my boss be able to 'play' with which sheets are visible (check, uncheck, check, uncheck, etc) .

What the max length of an ActivX Control name would be. I mean the name that you would use in coding something, not the actual caption name of the button. IN this case I am using a radio button.
Based on that I would like to create random IDs to assign to the button. I know how to do this in the cell formula but not in code.

I have two listboxes on a worksheet and using VBA to load values into the listbox. I also have a combobox that is used to determine what values are to be displayed in the listboxes. I select a value from the dropdown list and depending on the value selected, a list gets populated in the listbox. This works just fine.
The problem I'm having is that when I adjust the zoom on the worksheet, 75% for example, the listbox automatically changes the width when new values are displayed. I try using the listbox1.width = xxx, to keep the width in place, but that doesn't really work.
