Auto Answering Save As Dialogue Box During Macro Run
Aug 1, 2007
I have written a macro which opens a worksheet, performs various operations on it, and closes it again. The problem is that upon close, two separate dialogue boxes appear - one asking me if I want to save, the other asking me if I want to keep what I have copied in the clipboard.
Is there a way of answering these dialogue boxes (or suppressing them) from withint he macro, so I do not need to manually click on Yes or No each time the macro is run?

I would like a macro that will call up the SAVE AS dialogue box and populate it based on the contents of a cell. So far, I can save the file with a name taken from a cell but I'd like the user to be able to choose the location. I haven't been able to crack that yet.

Using Excel 2007
I have made a macro in a xltm book that will open the "Save As" dialogue but I would like it to default to xls file type instead of the user having to select it in the drop down box.
In addition to this I would like it to name the file based on a returned "=NOW ()" function from a cell (sheet1!G13) that has been mdms date formated which returns an unique document number each time for our reference.
Here's the code so far which works fine for the "save as" dialogue box part

I have a vba procedure that concatenates the name I want to use as the file name and stores it in a variable named ""NuFileNm".
Is there a way to have the vba open the "Save As" dialogue box and enter the NuFileNm string into the "File Name" box ready for me to manually specify where I want to save it?

I am trying to make a save&close workbook macro.
I found several examples on google, but unfortunatly it conflicts with another macro I use for forceing users to enable macros (hide all sheets except one if macros are disabled).
The attached file is an example contaning the save&close code and the show/hide sheets depending on macros enabled.
If the file is opened with macros disabled then only one sheet will be visible.
If the file is opened with macros enabled other sheets are visible.
The problem if that this code uses a custom save, witch makes the save&close not save... (in module1 and in ThisWorkbook)
The pourpose of the save&close is to make sure some users don't forget the excel open and thus block access to it. So if a certain idele time passes excel has to save and close without any confirmation messages.

I am using one spread sheet to store date that gets updated throughout the day and am pulling information form that sheet to another file. I need to save it to get the current data and I don't want to rely on the person entering data to remember to save. The sheet I want to save is called Log.

I have found some posts about "Auto Saving" and Dave pretty much frowns upon that. But the program I use (via ODBC), for some reason doesn't see the changes I make unless the file is saved. I have it auto-saving right now, but was thinking, maybe it is better to export a copy.
What I would need, is the ability to take my current workbook and export it to a new file (overwriting that same file each time), and do this based on time or (even better) on a change in the data. My current workbook is set to pull from other CSV files, scraping our website, etc., and then I use Excel to format the data the way I want.
It would be cool, if I could export two versions each time too... one that would be like a archive of what the file was like when it changed, the other would be the one that just gets overwritten each time.
Love this site...tons of info...but dang am I not smart at this stuff. Half the time, I don't even get where to put the code...worksheet, module, workbook?

Is It Possible To Auto Save To A File Via A Macro?
What I Want To Do Is To Auto Save Directly To A Folder On Our System Via A Macro.
The Problem Is That Firstly It Will Need To Look Up A Cell ( D8 ) To Find Out The Job Number
Then It Will Have To Find The Folder On Our System ( Its On Desktop Under Job File Folder ) Then Comes The Hard Bit It Will Need To Locate That Job Number ( Cell D8 ) To Look Up The Relevant Folder To Put It In. All The Job Files Are Labelled Up Eg.( J2663 - Parry ) Then In That Folder Is A Sub Folder Called Docs Which It Needs To Be Saved In

I'm fairly new to macros but somehow i managed to create all the required macros for my project through googling and the like. The problem is that i created my macro enabled excel file in XP and when i transferred it to Windows 7 the auto save to PDF macro stopped working with the Runtime Error '5' Invalid Procedure, call or Argument. The highlighted error is as follows.
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat _
Type:=xlTypePDF, _
FileName:="C:WindowsTemp emporaryexam.pdf", _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=True
This auto save is supposed to work when a hyperlink is clicked or when the set time runs out (Working Macro).

Let's say in cell A1 I have something like "10-25" or "4+4". I want to keep A1 just like that, but I would like to solve the arithmetic in A1, in cell B1. So B1 would need a formula that gives the answer "-15" or "8". How can I do this with large data sets?

Currently I have an excel form that I am working on. I just figured out how to get it to open when I open the workbook. I am wondering is there code out there that will prompt excel to auto save the worksheet that the form writes to when the "OK" button on my form is clicked. I want to be able to save the data without having to rely on the user to remember to save everytime entry is complete. if there is a code for this function, where would I place it in my code listing?

Is there a way to have excel automatically save the workbook every 5 minutes or so? I'm not talking about the backup option (tools-options-save) I mean do a hard save?
Or would this warrant a timed VBA code? If so, can someone build me one quickly? I'm kinda in a time crunch - sorry for last minute notice. Co-worker just deleted 8 hours of work bec "she didn't" know to save it....

I have attached a code that prompt the user for a store # then that number would automatically copy to cell A1 and at the same time it saves the file name as what is copied to A1.
This is a good code but the problem is when the file is closed and re-open, it prompts the user again for a store number and when you select 'Cancel' it replaces the store# already stored in cell A1.
What I am trying to accomplish:
1- When the file is re-opened, it should detect cell A1, if it's empty prompt user for store #, if it's not empty skip the prompt screen.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
var1 = InputBox("store#")
Range("a1") = var1
var1_filename = var1 & ".xls"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=var1_filename
End Sub

i have a workbook that pulls data from 7 other workbooks based off of 3 criteria. In 6 of the 7 workbooks there are 6 sheets and in the last sheet there are 15sheet. All the sheets are used on different computers and currently the member who use these sheets cant remember to save them so the main workbook can pull the information. So I was hoping for a VB code to do the save for them after they enter any data in the range of A1:J50.
Then for the main work book i was hoping for a VB code to auto update after entering the 3 criteria. I have a marco made but it takes awhile to do it. First it saves the sheet, then pulls the information, then refreshes some pivot table, then populates into the proper cells.

I have only one workbook in which I would like to enable auto-save. Hence, I do not need the auto-save add-in, which I've already tried. Is there some VBA code that can replicate the auto-save add-in for only one workbook? Also, I would like the default auto-save settings to save every 1 minute and NOT prompt for the save. This workbook gets completely new data every few seconds through a DDE Link, so having it save without prompting would be fine. I liked the auto-save add-in, but it reset to default settings every time the workbook was closed, I'd like to keep the same settings every time the workbook is opened.

I have code to print an invoice to PDF, here is the printing part.
Sub Macro3()
Application.ActivePrinter = "Adobe PDF on Ne05:"
ActiveWindow.Worksheets("Sheet1").PrintOut From:=1, To:=1, Copies:=1, ActivePrinter:="Adobe PDF on Ne05:", Collate:=True
End Sub
When the code runs a box appears asking the user to save the PDF as a filename and the user never saves the correct invoice filename. Is there a way to suprees the box and automatically save as a predetermined name say "Invoice 0012 27-01-01"

I have a workbook.
I would like to automate with code the process of extracting one worksheet from that workbook, and saving it as a separate workbook, with a file name equal to the text value of a cell (date formatted dd-mm-yy) from within that workbook. (ie d1="10/07/08" save file with one worksheet 10-07-08.xls)

I close an existing excel file I need to automatically save it to another folder as the same name. I don't want any prompts or save as boxes to appear when this happens.
I need to do this as I use the file all the time, but need to save it on to a network where others can view it.

if someone would review the code below and tell me why it does not cycle an autosave more than once. It is supposed to autosave automatically every five minutes but for some reason beyond me it does not. I did not author this but picked it up in a different forum.
Option Explicit
Public vartimer As Variant
Const TimeOut = 1 'set in minutes to whatever amount of time is desired
Sub Timer()
vartimer = Format(Now + TimeSerial(0, TimeOut, 0), "hh:mm:ss")
If vartimer = "" Then Exit Sub
Application .OnTime TimeValue(vartimer), "SaveOpenWorkbooks"
End Sub

I'm trying to make a macro check if a file has been saved (ever). If so I want the macro to do a regular save (with already esatablished filename and location) before it proceeds with the rest of the macro. If the file hasnt been saved (if it runs from a new workbook) then I want it to pop up the save.as dialog, so that the user can choose the name and location of the file before the macro continues .
The macro itself is saved in personal.xlsx.

I'm trying to have a macro that opens the save as window, places the name in cell f5 and then allows you to save the workbook with cell f5 as the filename. I have managed to get the save as window to come up and the cell f5 as the name, but when I press save is doesn't. Here is what I have (also, is there a way to direct this to a specific folder).

I have a range of cells in a column where I put in properties of contents of another range of cells. If i put in the word "broken" in any of those cells (say B12) i like to have an input dialogue box popping up automatically. This is where the user 1 is supposed to give a brief description of the broken item.
The next user, 2, (which repairs the broken item) shall gain access to the written info made by the first user just by selecting cell B12. I like it to be a MSG Box that pops up automatically when the cell is selected. Just to clarify: The MSG box shall contain the words written in the dialogue box by user 1.
Does anybody have a clue how to achieve this?

I wish to use the custom option on autofilter several times. The problem is it closes every time I enter a new filter criteria. Is there a way to force it to stay open until I choose to close it? That way I don't have to use the pull down list to choose custom every time.
