I need to create a button in an Excel workbook that does the following.
1) Asks for password
2) Uses that password to unlock the workbook
3) Runs a macro that does the following
a) Shows sheet tabs turned off via unchecking the box in options
b) Unhides 3 hidden tabs
My command buttons are moving location after I run a macro. I have a worksheet with 5 command buttons from the forms toolbar. When the macro is run, another command button is moved into the cell that the macro ends in, how can I stop this?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a long complicated macro that processes a ton of data and gives the output in a new sheet. I then want to create new buttons (or some sort of user clickable triggers) on this new sheet that runs another macro.
I have got the actual adding of buttons in the sheet working, but I can't find a way to automatically assign macros to newly generated buttons during runtime. Is this even possible (or are there any clever tricks I could use to get around this?)
I have a button that executes a macro which basically activates a worksheet. I wish to put a password which would allow only certain users to access this worksheet through this button.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to create a command button that is available on my worksheet at all times. When clicked the user would be prompted for a password and then if correct a macro would run. If the password is incorrect then the user would receive an error message "You do not have access to run this maco" and he could go back to entering his values.
regards the two attached files (both are identical) except '1' has TWO Rows of data above the Macro Button and works correctly whereas '2' has only ONE Row (the desired option but does not work correctly!( Inserts Row in wrong place and incorrectly fill series)).
basically the program inserts a additional row below the last data entered, copies a formula cell from above and finally (the problem area) Series Fills a cell from data above.
Message box in the middle of macro requires a mouse move to appear, does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?

I won't repeat the exact same things I wrote in the file, but the Summary is that I need to first make such that only certain check boxes can checked at any one time, then make the command button run certain macro(s) depending on which boxes are checked.

What I would like to do is when the user presses a command button say on sheet 1 he is asked for a password which will unhide the Rates sheet . If he gets it wrong a message pops up say incorrect please try again or have an exit button to cancel.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got a toggle button that is clicked to hide the score details (using a macro). I need this button to have some sort of password protection because only I should be able to see the score!
I've tried to use the '.protect .unprotect' function, but its not doing exactly what I want it to so Im not sure I even need it there!
Here is my code..
Option Explicit
Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
Sheet1.Unprotect
With Range("78:88").EntireRow
.Hidden = Not .Hidden
End With
Sheet1.Protect
End Sub
I want to password protect a command button, so that when a user clicks the button, it prompts them for a password before the button is enabled.

Essentially, I am working with a database for a school and up until this point, each row matches up to a student with a bunch of information on them. One of these pieces of info is their parent's names. This is a much simplified look at things, but the screenshot below is a basic version of what everything looks like:
Now, the school wants me to split up the parents names from the student's and place them in their own row. I have recorded a macro to do this where you make the active cell the "full name" column for the row you want to expand, and then run the macro. Afterwards, up to two more rows are added, with the parent's names and some data copied. Below is a screenshot of what that looks like: (yellow is the new data generated, and blue is the active cell I marked to run the macro properly)
The issue is that there are thousands of these that need to be done, and I figured there is a way to do this with a macro. The issue is that not every row has parents names to expand out.
In layman's terms, I need a macro that will look at the two columns titled "Father's Name" and "Mother's Name" on each row of the spreadsheet and then, if there is any data in both or either of them, it should set the active cell to the "Full Name" column for that row then run the macro accordingly. After that it should repeat this all the way down, skipping any where neither of the columns have text in them
In the actual spreadsheet, the columns that need to be checked are AW and AX, and the column that needs to be set to the active cell before running the macro is B.
i need to make a macro that takes workbooks or files and
runs them through another macro. i already have the 2nd macro
done and it is working perfectly i just need to know how to make the one
that finds the other files and runs them all through the macro i already made. My boss said that he will have about 150-200 files to run through this macro.
I am havng problems with the belwo macro code -
Range("G7").Select
Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"Q:PublicPAYMENTS Q&RREPORTSSuspense Activity BUSINESS2008 - Suspense BUSINESS - Activity Reports2008 Avon.xls"
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWindow.Close
End Sub
When i open the workbook it requires me to insert a password, i tried to type this but excel will not follow keystrokes, i then inserted the password in cell G7 which i then copy and paste, which you can see the copy at the beginning of the macro.
Is there a way where you can get it to insert the password so i can open the workbook in a macro.
What im trying to do is save 26 suspense spreadsheets by just clicking on a macro.
I can't seem to find an answer for this, but as an alternative, on Worksheet Activate the code runs and places a 1 in Range("A1") and therefore the next time the macro will not run.
This works fine for me, but just thinking if somebody who doesn't know why the one is in A1 and deletes it this macro will run again on sheet activate.
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Dim LR As Long
Dim rng As Range
If Sheets("Charts").Range("A1").Value = 1 Then Exit Sub
LR = Sheets("POD").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
With Sheets("Charts")
.Range("I129").FormulaR1C1 = "=ROWS(R1C1:R[-128]C[-8])"
Set rng = .Range("A129").Resize(, 10)
rng.Copy rng.Resize(LR - 4)...............

I have a fairly simply macro.
It copies certain sheets out of a workbook (for a new workbook)
Unprotect the sheets in the new workbook
Deletes a particular cell on each sheet
Unhides a sheet
Sets all of the new worksheets to normal view
Protects the new sheets
Lets the user save and name the new workbook.
All is working fine Except it will not change the new workbook from Page Break View to Normal view.
The code I'm using = Sheets("name").Activate
Activewindow.View=xlNormal
Here's the strangest part. When I run the macro from a command button, the newly created workbook retains the page break view (as is in the original).
When I run the macro line by line via F8, IT WORKS JUST FINE
I have created a macro in xl2000 which was working fine - although through corporate upgrades my machine has now been upgraded with xl2003 and the macro runs for a bit and then crashes on the code below, although it only highlights teh 'rnum'

Is there a difference between xl2000 & xl2003?

I have a macro which reads data from a large number (up to 500) of books in a folder. This extracted information is subject to some fairly heavy analysis which means that the macro runs very slowly as the sheet is constantly calculating.
I would like to add some code - maybe after 'screen updating = false' - that would turn off auto calculation while the macro runs and then restore it once the macro is finished.
i have a button on my workbook1 that opens another workbook (lets call it workbook2) and automatically runs a macro on opening it. Once opened i have a button on workbook2 to close itself. I then go back to see workbook1. This all works but then when i click on the button to open the workbook2 again it opens but the macro does not run.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to have a macro which effectively runs all the time.
For example, if the user imputs something which is wrong I want the macro to pick it up straight away with a message box.
I searched for this and found a few examples on splash screens, but if someone could help I would appreciate it.
Basically I have this massive macro that runs, I recorded some of it, and VBA the rest. It does a bunch of things like bringing in different spreadsheets, formatting vlookups blah blah blah... Anyway for a nice touch I was hoping that I could get a splash screen or something that will run while this macro is running in the background. How hard would this be? The macro is button driven...
I have a macro in my worksheet that runs as a change event on certain comment cells. This macro unprotects the worksheet, expands the merged comment cell that just change, and re-protects the worksheet. The cell expansion works great. When I re-protect the worksheet all of the cells work correctly, except the cell that was just changed. Any other "unlocked" cell in the document stays unlocked after the protection is applied, but the cell that just changed becomes locked. I need this cell to remain unlocked to allow the user to update the comments. Here is my full
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet that is made up of single line items with sub-totals at various points going down the sheet (ie the spreadsheet is split into sections)
Each section is about 100 rows long and 40 columns wide, 10 of which are sub-totals, all using the same formula from that i enter in column A.
As i add new sections i have recorded a simple macro that copies the active cell (ie A15 for example). It then pastes into D15, F15, H15, N15, X15 and then returns to A15.
I have linked this up to ctrl X for ease of running.
I have around 500 section totals to "ctrl X", per spreadsheet and 10 spreadsheets to do in total. I have firstly filtered all the line items (rows) out to leave me just the sub-totals to [ctrl x] [arrow down] [ctrl x] [arrow down] [ctrl x] etc etc etc....
Is there anyway to automate this process, i have tried recording another macro of me [ctrl x] [arrow down] about 30 times, but when i run it, it pastes on the hidden rows, not just on what you see on the screen. Is there a bit of code i can enter so it only sees what is visible.??
I have a peice of code which opens up a number of Workbooks (200+) and updates a series of control tables in each. Given our security etc environment, links and external references etc are not possible. The target files must all be standalone and self-sufficient.
The problem I have is that when I run the procedure in question in the usual way, the procedure simply terminates after the first file is opened. No error messages, no distress - it just stops. I have put debugging calls all around the "Workbook.Open" call, and it simply doesn't make it out of the call. There is no Auto_Open code in the workbooks being opened and (as I indicated above) no external links, references or function calls.
What's weird is that if I step through the procedure in the Command Debugger, everything works fine. Even weider, if I complete step-by-step processing on the first target file then I can press "Play" and the code will complete execution and process all the remaining files without error.
I have rebuilt/recreated/re-ordered the target files and even moved them to a different volume.
If anyone has seen this before, or has any idea what the cause may be, or even just a wild idea, I'd love to hear it.
