While using an userform, is it not possible to swap to other files in the window?
I.e Alt+tab function is not working while an userform is opened.
the small code i'm writing just needs to do the following:
1. open an .xslx file selected by the user
2. copy 2 worksheets from that file to the current one
3. close the selected file without saving it.
This is my code:
VB:
Sub GetData()
MsgBox ("Please select a file"), vbOKOnly
Master = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xlsx), *.xlsx", Title:="Please select a file")
[Code]....
Opening the file works, but the last 3 lines don't because i don't understand how to declare "Master": however i dim it (workbook, object, variant...) i get an error on the GetOpenFilename line. If i don't declare it, i get an error while trying to copy the worksheets.
Despite setting the "Edit/Links/Startup Prompt/Don't display the alert and update links" option numerous times, my workbook still prompts me to update links every time I open it. The option seems to be set okay (it is preset whenever I go into the "Edit/Links/Startup Prompt" dialog), but it doesn't seem to affect the workbook's startup behaviour. The workbook contains a ComboBox control that is initialized with customer names from another workbook, which is included in the References for this main workbook.
I am using Excel 2003 (from Office Pro 2003) under Windows XP (SP1). I believe this used to work without the prompt when I was working on this app last fall (I'm not sure, as my memory of specific behaviours back that far is fuzzy). However, it has been persistently prompting ever since I started working on this app again this spring/summer. Was there perhaps a bad fix to Office 2003 (that I automatically applied) that broke this feature?
I have a userform that opens, and allows the user to enter data into it for each row where a specific cell is blank. If the user hasn't updated in a couple of days that could be 15-20 entries that need to be made. Currently when the user clicks the close button the userform closes the form for the current row and shows for the next row, acting more like a Next button. I would like to be able to assign Previous, Next and Exit, where exit closes all instances of the userform, and not just the one the user currently sees. Even if we cant do previous and next, the exit button is really important sot he user doesnt have to click through in order to exit the userform.
The following is the code that brings up the array, followed by userform code
Code:
Sub ErrLogSupEntry()
'Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wsErrLog = Worksheets("Error Log")
UserName = Environ("UserName")
If UserName = "09070403" Then

I have a Userform in Excel.
My requirement, is whenever I open the Excel file, it should open the userform and should not show the excel file at all. And the form is closed, the excel file should be saved and closed.
Also, I need the minimize button on the form and in the taskbar, it should not display the Excel file, it should display only the Userform.
I'd like to keep a progress bar userform I created in front of other windows that are opened by a module that is scanning through the data within each file. While files are opened, I want teh progress bar to stay shown at all times. Within the module opening and scanning the documents I show the userform as follows: userform1.show false
I've serached the site and found a link that supposedly explained how to do this but the site is worthless.
I have a MultiPage User Form, it has 2 tabs within the User Form.
I want to display Tab #1 (the first tab) as the 'visible/active' Tab for the user upon opening the user form. How do I do that?
Usually, I would open a User Form with frmMyForm.Show in a private module, to show the form. But now I have 2 Tabs, and want to select a certain Tab upon opening it?
Im trying to add a print button to a userform. But three things that have to happen when the button is clicked:
1.Excel has to tell the print dialogue box to ensure the page will only fit on one page by one page
2.The print dialogue box has to pop up so the user can ensure the settings of the print
3.Right now when the print happens scroll bars are printing from the userform. I need those to disappear
This code in its current state is messing with me, it appears I set it to one page by one page but yet when the print happens its only printing the last part of my userform. And right now it also does trigger the dialogue box so that part is solved. I just cant figure out why its not resizing to one page by one page.
i have 2 workBooks (firstWB & secondWB)
In fristWB i have UserForm in which their is
TextBox_1 & Transfer_btn-->cmdbutton
..with transfer_btn i want anything written in TextBox_1 should always paste new row in secondWB workbook
I am trying to do this with USERFORM
i am also trying to do DYNAMIC CHART in USER FORM

A userform is called up upon a calculation change in the spreadsheet on two computers and has for years. We just hired a new employee and the userform is not pulling up for her. Instead she gets an error: Runtime error 75...Could not find the specified object.
I'm having some problems with SetFocus on a user form that I am using. Code is Below.
Dim Answer As Variant
With cboAccount
If .Value "" And .ListIndex = -1 Then
Answer = MsgBox(cboAccount.Value & " is not a registered account, would you like to add it?", vbYesNo)
If Answer = vbYes Then
Load frmNewAccount
frmNewAccount.txtAccountName.Value = frmEnterTransaction.cboAccount.Value
frmNewAccount.Show
If Answer = vbNo Then
cboAccount.SetFocus
End If
End If
End If
End With
End Sub
basically the code asks if the if the answer placed in a cboAccount (combo box) is valid against the list designated to that combo box,
If the entry is not valid a message box appears asking if they would like to add the entry to the valid list if they do not want to do this they can click no and in which case I wan't the focus to be set back to the combo box however currently the setfocus command above does not does not work and the focus is set to the next text box.
I have a UserForm which enables the user to input sales figures for each month for 5 years.
At the bottom of each year is the total box.
At the moment it only sums the 12 months when each month has a figure in it. Sometimes the user only needs to enter, lets say, 4 months figures and the total box doesn't work. It also doesn't sum as data is entered i.e. it only adds them up when all 12 months TextBoxes have a number in them.
Can I literally make it as simple as it would be on a normal worksheet i.e. =SUM(A1:A12) ??
Here is my code that is 'in' each month's TextBox
[Code] .....
End Sub
The total box itself - txtY1Total - doesn't have any code in it.
Below is code i wrote to change a password. password value is hidden in cell iv4 in different sheets. My userform contains 3 textboxes and button to run macro. As long as old password matches cell value AND new password is entered twice correctly then it will change value in cell iv4.

This works great for the combo boxes but not for list boxes. It seems to skip over that code. In other words, in the code below, if a manager is not selected, it doesn't notify the user.

I have a user form that has a label "txtcompno" which displays a "Auto incrementing" number everytime the user form is opened. e.g. 90001, 90002, 90003 and so on. This was working fine till yesterday, but has since stopped working for some reason: This is the code I wassuccessfully using before:
Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
Me.txtdate.Caption = Format(Now(), "dd/mm/yyyy")
Me.txtcompno.Enabled = True
Dim iRow As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("ComplaintData")
' find last data row from database
iRow = ws. Cells(Rows.Count, 1) _
.End(xlUp).Row
If ws.[A2].Value = "" Then
Me.txtcompno.Caption = 90001
Else
Me.txtcompno.Caption = ws.Cells(iRow, 1).Value + 1
End If
End Sub
but now its giving me error - "Run time error 13 : Type mis-match". and its highlighting the line: Me.txtcompno.Caption = ws.Cells(iRow, 1).Value + 1
I have a User Form that is used to collect data. CommandButton1 loads the User Form data into the worksheet and CommandButton2 clears all data from the Form in preparation for entering the next record. Immediately after a user first opens the Form, the very first time CommandButton1 is clicked, the Enter Key stops working. At this point data can be typed into any TextBox on the Form, but when the Enter Key is pressed the cursor remains in the TextBox. (The Enter Key will not move the focus to the next Textbox in the Tab Order. Also, if I alter the code to set the focus on a CommandButton as the active control instead of a TextBox, pressing Enter on the active CommandButton does not execute the CommandButton's macro... the same behavior as a TextBox; nothing at all happens when the Enter Key is pressed even though the CommandButton has focus).
At the point when the Enter Key stops functioning, if the user presses 'Alt-Tab' to leave the Form and then immediately uses 'Alt-Tab' to return back into the Form the Enter Key suddenly works again and continues to work correctly from that point on even after CommandButton1 is clicked. Again, the Enter Key stops working ONLY the first time CommandButton1 is run immediately following initially opening the workbook and Alt-Tabing into the Form immediately corrects it. I saw one other post in this forum with this same problem in 2003, but unfortunately it did not get answered.

I have a workbook in excel 2003 which I had been running the following macros (listed below). We recently upgraded to Excel 07, and neither are working. When I try to run them, the "debug" option highlights the following line in the sort macro "Range("A2:z" & lastcell).Sort key1:=.Columns(1)". This is driving me crazy, as the macros worked perfectly under the older version of Microsoft. Is there an issue with crossfunctionality between '03 and '07'.

I have macro enabled workbooks that the contract number increases by one everytime they are opened. Is there a way to make it auto save though when its opened. Right now I have to click save as soon as I open it. If I do not do this when I open it, when I open it again the contract number will stay the same as it was, because I save it at the end after I put all customer info in.
