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.
Is there a way that I can have an excel document "autosave"?
Specificaly I would like: If a value in a specific cell's value is changed I would like the document to automatically save the document as the name of the value that is typed into that cell when the user closes the document.
I'm not sure if this is possible, but it would be great if there was some way to do this.
I am trying to use the following macro to autosave a document to a pdf file. It works except it always saves it as the same name. Is there a way I can make it save it and when it saves it, title it as the contents in cell A5?
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.
I'm trying to write a macro in excel that will save the document every couple of minutes. After searching the forums here for a bit I found something that might work:
I m executing some macros in my file. After executing I need to save my file automatically (which is already saved). Means I dont need to press "CTRL + S".
I have just upgraded from excel 2000 to excel 2003 I have always set autosave to 5 minutes in case I press the wrong button as I did tonight. I also had autosave set to save all open workbooks I am a heavy user of excel and often have many workbooks open at the one time.
I wonder if anyone could help with some VBA code to automatically save a copy of a workbook on a monthly basis (Say the 1st of each month, or the nearest date to that if it has not been saved on the 1st.)
I would like this to be done without user input, and to be saved with the current workbook name + the current date. It can also be saved in the current workbook folder. I am using Win XP Pro and Excel 2003. This would also obviously need to check if the file currently exists, we can say the filename is Cars and the directory is C:Data. Finally I do not wish to stop the users from saving their own version with save or save as.
I have seen a number of discussions on this subject. I used Roy's code posted here and wanted to make a small change. I want to give the user a warning msg, few minutes before the autoclose would be scheduled to occur. This would give the user a chance to change cell selction or do somethig to reset the timer. If the message goes unanswered, the autoclose should occur as scheduled.
I am attaching a workbook with the macros installed in workbook, standard module and worksheet.
It dosn't seem to do what I want. It seems to work, but it acts differently everytime I run it.
Can someone please look at the attached workbook and help me fix it?
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 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'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.
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
