I want to create a situation where certain conditions have to be met before a workbook is closed. I copied the following from an earlier thread, but cannot seem to get it to work.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
If Range("A1").Value <> "x" Then
MsgBox "Pls enter x in A1"
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
If I use the Auto_Close as shown next, it works except the user gets a prompt to save the file and exit, which I don't want.
Sub Auto_Close()
If Range("A1").Value <> "x" Then
MsgBox "Pls enter x in A1"
End If
End Sub
It’s been working perfectly up until around an hour ago. However, now when I close Excel, I get compile errors.
These compile errors seem to be because Excel is trying to access controls in the workbook after it has closed. Since the workbook is closed, VBA can no longer ‘see’ the controls, and therefore it thows up errors.
I’m also getting a similar error on a Worksheets("DataExplorer").unprotect line, which seems to be because the worksheet isn’t there after closing.
These errors only occur when I close the whole excel application using the big cross in the top right. If I just close the workbook (using the smaller cross just below the big cross in the top right of excel), it doesn’t throw up these errors.
Just to clarify: all of the code runs perfectly when Excel is open. The errors are being thrown up for lines of code which run without problem until Excel is closed.
I need to know the command to close a workbook. I have used the information found here: http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/userform-close.htm to disable closing the workbook via the upper right "X", but I need a button that, when clicked, simply closes the workbook instead.
I am trying to perform a calculation in a cell that leaves the value 0 if before Feb 2014, changes to the value of another cell in Feb 2014 and leaves the value unchanged if after Feb 2014. I can get to the Feb 2014 value but after that month the value changes to 0.
The Cell formula that I am trying to use is as follows:
I would like to try and achive a conditional format that will require a lookup function. when the condition is met it places Yes or No into a cell and changes that row colour to red for the NO condition. and after 10 days from now the rowcolour is removed.
So I have one sheet that needs to pull data through to another sheet (which is a stats summary)
I have a drop down list containing 4 options all of which have to be counted separately on the stats summary sheet. However I only need them counted when a value is input in another cell in that row.
For example: I select option 1 from down down menu, but I only want this to be counted on the stats page when I enter a date in the "date" cell.
I'm looking to return the values in column A adjacent to the cells in Column B equal to "Y". The kicker has been returning only the cells where the condition is true. Column C displays the desired behavior.
The closest I've been able to get is with a simple IF statement but I'm pretty sure the answer is a far cry away from there and likely requires an array formula. I'd prefer not to use VLOOKUP or OFFSET but will if the alternative is very complex.
I need cell (O4) to display days overdue or days remaining on an assigned task based on subtracting due date (M4) from todays date, but only perform days subtraction function if (M4) is not blank and only if task complete cell (N4) is less than 100.
Have the conditional blank cell figured out, but nesting another condition for the less than 100 complete cell. So in other words, I don't want cell (O4) to subtract days and display any error, irrelevant data if there is not any due date entered or the task is entered as complete...
I can't close out of my spreadsheet (xlsm). I press on the x in the upper right and nothing happens. I've been using the spreadsheet for a long time, but it just started happening yesterday.
I currently have a vba that when execute, a message box pops up that allows me to name the tab. I'd like to add a line that closes the input box when I press the red ex or when I press cancel. Currently, when I press cancel, another annoying box pops up but ultimately there is no way to close out once it starts. What line should I add to close it when pressing cancel or the red ex and where should I add it? find the code below:
I have a file with about 30 sheets and a size of 14 meg. When the file is saved by using the save button it seems to save. When the file is closed the Microsoft crash message appears. The changes seem to save and if you choose not to have Excel attempt to repair the file everything seems fine.
The other odd behavior the file has that is if you run a for loop on any tab it takes about 3-4 minutes to run. If you copy the tab to another book and run the same code it runs in 3-4 seconds. Any ideas?
Workbooks.Open ("N:Data ManagementDashboardLOLTickler Codes.xls") and do something like this?
Workbooks.Open ("N:Data ManagementDashboardLOLTickler Codes.xls") Not _ Workbooks.Open ("N:Data ManagementDashboardLOLTickler Codes.xls")
I have a userform that I would like with a click of a button to open the workbook and then click the same button to close the workbook after it has been viewed.
I am using Excel 2003 in a Windows XP environment. No other workbooks are open.
I have a macro that runs in Workbook(1). It will determine a list of Excel files that exist in a specified directory. For each file found it will; 1. Open the file ( Workbook(2) ) 2. Perform a bunch of stuff 3. Saves the file under a new directory/name. 4. Closes the file opened in step 1. 5. Deletes the file referenced in step 1.
Steps 1 through 3 are working fine. What I am seeing is the files opened in the various step 1’s are not closing and eventually Excel runs out of resources. When I look under the Window menu, I see them all active in the list. I think when I saved the files in step 3, it created a new Workbook in the collection and the indexing at step 4 is hosed, but do not know for sure.
I should be using for effective actions on steps 4 and 5?
I have a MS Access db in which I have two delete queries called 'qrySessionsCompleted1' and 'qrySessionsCompleted2'. What VBA code can I use in the BeforeClose event to run these?
I am using the following code to automatically save the workbook when excel is being closed.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=True End Sub
This seems to be working fine (in the respect that when the user closes excel it saves this file without a prompt), the issue i have (and i appreciate it is a small issue) is that excel remains open but without any open workbooks. Is there a way i can amend my code so that excel closes too.
I've been given this before but unfortunately i lost a hard drive so all the codes i was given from folk on here have been lost.
I had one in particular, where it would protect my workbook when closing so when it was reopened the user had to use a password in order to change protected cells. This was because certain colleagues would forget to protect the workbook and left it open to accidental damage.
how to close the instance of excel created by my VBS script.
I run the script to open a workbook run a macro within the workbook and save it. I'd like to also close the workbook and the instance of excel.
If I close the workbook within the end of my macro I get an unknown run time error from my script. If I elect to just save the file and close it within the end of script, the workbook closes but the instance of EXCEL.EXE is still running in task manager.
When i open excel it give an error and it close. My computer up to date about office upgrades. And i try to repair my office but it doesnt solve my problem.
How would the attached file code be ammended to remove a blank row and then move all remaining rows below up one ?
Example: Open the attached file (Transport Log version 1). If you double-click in cell "X10" (for patient Abe Lincoln), the data for row 10 will be removed and written to Sheet #2. Closing the file and reopening, row 10 is empty with other rows below remaining. The goal is to move the data in rows 11 and 12 (and any subsequent rows that may be entered below those) up one row.
The above method would be an indication to users making subsequent entries to always use the first empty row below all existing data.
Below is the code to open a csv file and paste it in the workbook "ResultFile". When i click on a button, a csv file will open to copy the values and paste it in "Resultfile". Now, i want to close the csv or excel file to be closed once copying has done.
I have a macro that opens up a file, copies info from the file then closes it and the macro continues. I don't want the user to have to click on any 'do you want to save changes' prompts.
