Jan 18, 2009Is there anyway that a workbook can be set up to close itself at a set time i.e 19.00hrs every day?
Is there anyway that a workbook can be set up to close itself at a set time i.e 19.00hrs every day?
I have a 'few' workbooks that I have added some code to which auto closes the workbook if it has been inactive for more than 60 minutes.
Problem seems to be is that this doesn't envoke if a screen saver is active, does anyone have any VB code to disable the screen saver until after the workbook has closed.
I have a menu workbook with macro buttons that call different workbooks. Call the menu workbook (switchgear.xlsm). Switchgear contains 2 buttons. Button 1 closes switchgear and opens Book1. Button 2 closes switchgear and opens book 2.
If book1 is open and nothing has changed for 3 minutes I would like it to close and open switchgear.xlsm. I do not want it to just close in 3 minutes... I want it to close after 3 minutes of inactivity.
I have search all over and tried and tried to achieve this without success...
I have been able to get the timer to work but it gets caught in a loop. If I open book1 and close it in less than a min then 3 minutes later out of nowhere the code tries to run???
Secondly when this happens I see several book1 vba projects loaded in the editor window???
I have an excel file stored on a network drive for the purpose of information sharing. (File protected with a password)
But some the guys leave the file open for quiet long time and hence I cannot open the file for updating the data.
-I need to have a macro that runs every 5 minutes and displays an alert message saying "Please close the File" as long as the file is kept open.
-A second macro with a modified version of the above to close the file automatically after 5 minutes from file opening time after showing an alert message "You cannot leave the File Open, File is Closed Automatically!"
I have the following code that displays a form at a user defined time and if the user does not press "Stop" then the workbook saves and closes. The user can press stop then the workbook remains open.
Here is what I have where:
Admin_Auto_Shutdown = Yes or No
Admin_Auto_Shutdown_Time = 3:34pm or user defined time (This doesn't seem to work??)
'Auto Shutdown CloseandSave
If UCase(wb.Worksheets("Admin"). Range("Admin_Auto_Shutdown").Value) = "YES" Then
Application .OnTime TimeValue("Admin_Auto_Shutdown_Time"), "AutoShutdown"
End If
Sub AutoShutdown()
Application.OnTime TimeValue("Admin_Auto_Shutdown_Time"), "AutoShutdown"
Auto_Shutdown_Form.Show
End Sub
Now, my question is about a timer that I can show on a form. When the form is displayed I would like to give the user 30 seconds to press stop (and keep the workbook open) or to press proceed and save and close or to not do anything and the workbook would close and save when the timer reaches zero.
Code for user form which is missing most everything...
Private Sub Halt_Click()
'If user whats to continue without closing
Auto_Shutdown_Form.Hide
End Sub
Private Sub Proceed_Click()
'If user whats to save and close
Auto_Shutdown_Form.Hide
How do I add a timer to this code where it will run this at the end of the timer?
Auto_Shutdown_Form.Hide
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
With ThisWorkbook
.Saved = True
.Close
End With
I have a workbook, "A", that while open I need to be able to detect any type of activity within other open Excel workbooks "B...Z" that are simultaneously open.
I understand that I would need to use the Class Module with a Public WithEvents function but I am stuck here.
I am using Excel 2003.
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 have a macro to run which will clear out all rows and move them corresponding sheets on the same workbook. At the minute i have this macro to run at 21.00 hours everyday. Is it possible to fire this macro to auto run before me closing a workbook so i don;t need to wait and also worksheet is saved with the latest changes
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet and I would like for it to automatically close after printing.
Long version: The sheet is set up with several fields that can be changed by the user, and the date/time are automatically entered upon opening the sheet. I want to ensure that all fields are reset, and the date/time are correctly updated, every time that the user uses the spreadsheet. The last thing the user will do when finished entering his information will be to print the form, so I figure this would be a good time to make the form close (if this is possible).
I have already entered a code to prevent the query "do you want to save changes" before closing. So when they open the spreadsheet it will always contain the same starting information.
Any way to auto-close the excel application after finishing my macro run?
I tried this code,but it doesn't work... i added a sub and ran it like this:
Sub CloseandSave()
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=True
End Sub
to be more specific,there is a macro running,closes all open workbooks,but excel itself stays open...
I have data that daily needs to be refreshed and printed to pdf.
I figure the simplest way to do this would be to task schedule the workbook to open daily. Then on open it will refresh the data, print it after all data has been refreshed and close the workbook.
I set it up originally without the need to print so I have all the queries set to refresh when opening the file, however when I now try and put the code to print to pdf on the workbook open event it runs before the queries are finished running. (Query notes: queries were created through Microsoft query, and are accessing a MySQL database queries set to refresh when opening the file queries set to enable background refresh).
I have a Macro that is stored in a specific workbook,"Projection Modeler.xls" the last line performed in this macro is the close workbooks without saving chages(this needs to be done due to the way this macro was written, and it would take too long to rewrite). If I would then like to reopen this workbook, and then rerun this macro, can I do this from inside the current macro (in a new sub routine, for instance), or do I have to write a macro outside of the workbook and then open the workbook and call the routine?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAt the time of opening the file some macros are running automatically in my file as per my requirement. If auto filter is on then it disturbs my program. Sometimes I forget to remove auto filter before closing the file and it cause a problem in my file after opening it again.
Requirement is: Is there any code to prevent the file closing if the auto filter is on and give me a warning message 'Please remove auto filter first'.
As an example, I have this code to open a message box saying "Hello" when Excel opens.

I am opening a second workbook in ReadOnly in the Workbook Open and Closing it in the Workbook BeforeClose.
I don't EVER want to save changes on either workbook.
I need to leave excel open as the macro created a 3rd workbook which the user will need.

I have a very brief question
dlgAnswer = Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show
Selection.Copy
Windows("Derivative YK pricing Mod G.xls").Activate
Columns("B:B").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats, Operation:= _
xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Range("C5").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Windows("EXPORT1.xls").Activate
ActiveWindow.Close
As you can see, I open a workbook with the dlgAnswer, I was wondering how I could close that opened workbook
Currently I have
Windows("EXPORT1.xls").Activate
ActiveWindow.Close
however the workbook will not always be called export1.xls, I want it to close whichever one I opened earlier.
I'm working on a time sheet, and to make it easier to enter time i created a macro that sets the auto correct to correct a "." to a ":", but when the workbook closes i want to run a macro that deletes the auto correct rule.
I have a problem on auto-sorting my data after clicking the "x" or "Close" button on DataForm. Im creating a command button that trigger a macro to open an autofill DataForm. I want a code that everytime i ADD or EDIT using the DataForm, it will automatically sort the Column A after clicking the "x" or "Close" button. Below is the code of my macro:
Code:
Sub OpenForm()
Sheets("DATA").Select
ActiveSheet.ShowDataForm
End Sub
I snagged this code out from another project I wrote, and it works fine in that one, but doesn't in the new project.
What I want, is when the person presses the exit button, it will save whatever was done, its running as a form printer and database. The code below is the code for my exit button.
Private Sub CommandButton4_Click()
Dim sAnswer As String
Dim i As Integer
' ****************
' ** Exit Button**
' ****************
When it gets to "If ActiveWorkbook.Saved = False Then" it does put the question out "Do you want to save changes" I click Yes and it doesn't save it.. I have tried both activeworkbook and thisworkbook ... I copied the code and verified all is good to go..
How can i save and close one workbook in excel with vba code.

These all work in the immediate window, but not in the
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose
I have the below code in a macro attached to a button. Basically, if i choose yes to the message box at the beginning then the macro copies the all the cells on the sheet 'selections', opens up a new workbook, pastes into here, deletes some unused cells, rows and columns, then sends the sheet as an attachment on an e-mail.
What i also need to do is when i have sent the e-mail, the macro closes the new workbook without saving changes.
I know this is the code to close a workbook
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook that contains 4 macros. This workbook is copied by vb.net application with another name. When I run the macro in the copied worksheet, the Original file/workbook is opened automatically, and it is open until the copied workbook is closed.
My question:
1) Is this normal, when a copied workbook invokes a macro from the original workbook, the original workbook opens?
2) Is it possible to close the original workbook while executing the macro from the copied workbook?
3) Will that affect the macro in the copied workbook?
4) If possible to close the original workbook, kindly help me with the code.
I somehow need to add to the section of code below a event to have the "(Public)Archive.xls" to automatically close 15 minutes without saving everytime it is opened.
Code:
Kill "H:AllMaterial Prep Archive(Public)Archive.xls"
Columns("A:H").Select
Selection.Copy

I have a sheet that on open looks at the username and determines which tabs can be seen by that user. If macro's are not enabled, I want the sheet to just display sheet 4.
here is the code I have on open that works fine: -
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
If Environ("username") = "Bob" Then
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = True
Sheets("Sheet2").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet3").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet4").Visible = False
Else
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet2").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet3").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet4").Visible = True
End If
End Sub
I have a Workbook_BeforeClose() function that does not, and I am stuck as to why!
Here it is: -
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose()
If Environ("username") = "Bob" Then
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet2").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet3").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet4").Visible = True
ThisWorkbook.Save
Else
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet2").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet3").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet4").Visible = True
End If
End Sub
So basically after "Bob" is done it will save the sheet with only tab 4 visable. This means that if someone without Macros enabled opens the sheet they can only view tab 4 (I know it isn't password protected in this example, but it will be)
is it possible to have a messagebox activate when closing a workbook.
View 9 Replies View RelatedOne of my computers pulls info from my cash register once everyday (sales info). Then I have a excel monthly sales sheet that pulls the info from the register info and puts it in the right places. So the computer pulls the register info at 9:20pm everyday, then I have my task manager open excel at 9:25 everyday and it has a workbook open macro to automatically pull the info into the excel spreadsheet. Here's my problem-- I need to close it.
I'm sure I could use a workbook close macro, but when it tries to close it won't it come up with a save, don't save, cancel prompt? Nobody will be there to hit SAVE so it won't close? Is there just a macro that could save it then close it?
I have an Excel workbook that runs some code in the back. When I close the workbook file it seems to close OK. However if I then open the VBA editor window I still see the file in the project explorer. If I re-open and then close I have 2 instances in the project explorer... and so on. I have tried setting all objects to nothing etc. but the problem still manifests itself.
