Hover Over Button And Change It's Colour
a button to run a macro but i don't like the standard plain grey buttons that excel offers. i saw a friend using one in his project but don't want to ask him how he did it as it would be considered copying. i will add an image to explain my specifications. there must be an easier way than having to design it and you vba to code the colour change.

Click Button That Changes Cell Background Colour
The problem is that the cells which need to change are locked and have a object group ontop of them and are not all in one row or column..

The cells which need to change are A4,A5,A6,B6,C6,D6,E6,F6,G6,H2,H3,H4,H5,H6,I6,J6,K2,K3,K4,K5,K6.

It sort of a theme changer for my spreadsheet incase people want a change and can do all of it with one click of a button or maybe click on a cell with the colour on it and have that colour copy itself to the range.

Ensuring Visibility Of Text
I created an automation process where worksheets are generated. But after the sheets are generated I noticed that one of the company names is missing from the list. As I am watching the worksheets generate I can see the name quickly printing on the screen. When I use a message box to validate the data entry, the name does appear. After all is generated, the name is still missing. Does anyone know what this could be? Could it be a software malfunction?

Visibility Of Cell A1 On All Worksheets When Macro Finished
How can I loop through all worksheets in a workbook and, not only select cell A1 in each worksheet at the end of a macro, but have the visibility of cell A1, no matter where you last clicked on the worksheets, such as a remote cell like BK244.

I would like the user to see the first row and further most left cell (cell A1) when they click any sheet in the workbook, because my macro causes several rows of data to be written, leaving the viewer to see something like row 244, instead of the top row which is where the titles are.

Hide Toolbars & Restore Visibility
I have a procedure that stores the Commandbar names and visibility settings in an array on open. Another procedure hides all Commandbars on open and restores their original visibility settings on close. For some reason the "Standard" and " Formatting" toolbars don't return to visible on close.

My error log says "08/13/07 18:21:37 [QA.xls]MCommandBars.bRemoveMenus(), Error -2147467259: Method 'Visible' of object 'CommandBar' failed". I have tried manually testing the hide/unhide procedure with hard coded settings and checked the correct variables are being sent and all seems to be correct.

I am pretty confident that the procedure to store settings is correct but have included the code just in case, also just noticed the "Standard" and "Formatting" toolbars are the only two visible at programme start.

Public gsaMenus() As String

Public Function bMenuSettings() As Boolean

Const sSOURCE As String = "bMenuSettings()"

Dim bReturn As Boolean
Dim iCounter As Integer
Dim cbrMenu As office.CommandBar

Set Control Visibility Based On Tag Property
I have a userform which uses the tag property of the frame to determine whether a frame is visible (and hence the controls that reside within the frame). A frame contains three combo boxes, and six text boxes. The tag property of the frame matches the number of frames that are visible on the form, so that if the user selects five frames, frames 1 through five become visible and for all other frames visible = false. A frame contains all the data for a single entry. There can be up to fifty frames/ entries that are visible on the form depending on the user selection.

I want to use the visibility property to do two things: first the combo boxes are filled from an array after the user selects the number of frames (or entries). I only want to fill the comboboxes where the frame is visible. The second thing is that I have a function which uses the data from the text boxes and combo boxes as required arguments. Since these are required arguments, I will get a data mismatch error if I try to call it and the controls are empty. Therefore, I only want to call the function if the frame which houses the controls is visible.

Public Sub Visible1(Entry As String)
Dim ctrl As Control
For Each ctrl In UserForm2.Controls
If TypeName(ctrl) = "Frame" And ctrl.Tag <= Entry Then
With ctrl
.Visible = True
End With
Else
If TypeName(ctrl) = "Frame" And ctrl.Tag > Entry Then
With ctrl
.Visible = False.............

Embed Picture Into Worksheet & Toggle Visibility
I am trying to embed a picture into a worksheet, hide the picture, then call it up later when a macro runs. I know how to insert a picure using a macro, but I want to embed the picture so that I can take the file with me that includes the picture and be able to call the picuture in my macro. Right now, the picture is on my hard drive and the picture will not load if I take the file to a different computer and run the macro.

Reference Cell Based On Button Location & Determine Button Used
I received this code from an example I found once upon a time that was originally submitted by someone else. Right now the code enters the current date in a cell of the same row as the checkbox when it's checked. I need to revise it, or come up with something similar, that will reference the value of a cell when it is in the same row as the button (from the Forms toolbar) that is clicked to activate the macro. First of all, I don't know how to reference a Forms button in VBA.

Sub Process_CheckBox()
Dim cBox As CheckBox
Dim LRow As Integer
Dim LRange As String
LName = Application.Caller
Set cBox = ActiveSheet.CheckBoxes(LName)
' Find row that checkbox resides in
LRow = cBox.TopLeftCell.Row
LRange = "B" & CStr(LRow)
'Change date in column B, if checkbox is checked
If cBox.Value > 0 Then
ActiveSheet.Range(LRange).Value = Date
'Clear date in column B, if checkbox is unchecked
Else
ActiveSheet.Range(LRange).Value = Null
End If
End Sub

Here is some other code I already created. Unfortunately, because I don't know how to do the row reference, I had to create 25 different macros, which just bulks up the size of my file and slows it down. But here is what I'm trying to accomplish in my macro:.............

Toolbar Command Button As Toggle Button
I have read several articles saying using a command button as a toggle button can't be done but some articles have said it is possible using the state properties.

.State = msobuttondown
.State = msobuttonup

Is there any way to combine this with the onaction property so that when you press the button, it stays down and activates a macro then when you press it again it pops back up and activates another macro.

Add Button If No Button Exists Already

Colour Code
I have created a Sales Data spreadsheet which is updated by 10 members of our sales team. We also have a master sheet which gets updated the moment the individual sheets are updated by the sales team.

I want to know how I can differentiate the new entries with the old ones. Is there a code I can insert in the Master File which would change the colour of the new entries, say for example, all the rows with the date field “August” should automatically be changed to yellow. Similarly all “September” entries should automatically be coloured Red.

Formulas To Format Into Colour
A fairly simple one I imagine but I've never come across it before, so I ain't sure what to use!

I am working on yearly budgets/balances, and where the total spend against a budget has gone over the budgeted amount I want my formula to format the text red.

Example
Budget Spend Variance
30 35 -5

The formula is also doing a sum of budget minus spend, so if the result is below zero the text needs to be red basically.

Conditional Formatting With Colour
Im trying to create a stock database based on a colour traffic light system. I have 2 set columns, the first is 'recommended stock' the second is 'actual stock'

When you paste in your requirements into the 3rd column it subtracts it from the acutal stock which tells you how much your recommended stock is short by.

What ive got as well is any stock above 1+ shows up in green (this needs changing - see below), anything below 0 shows up in red. What im struggling with is i want a rule that reads the recommended stock level, then flags it up yellow when the actual stock levels drop to 10% of full stock.

how to use the conditional formatting if that is the way.

Bar Chart Colour
I have a problem relating to a bar chart that I just can't get around. I have Excel 2003. My problem is this. I have created an attendance record sheet for members of a club. The sheet records attendances for two separate events which occur a week apart every month. The names of the members are shown vertically in one column. Multiple parallel columns then follow in which members' attendances are recorded. At the top of the sheet, at the head of each attendance column, are two headings, one on top of the other. The first of these is the date, and the second is the attendance rate shown as a percentage. I can generate a bar chart alright from these two headings. My problem is that I want some way of showing the two different events every month as two different colours, event one in red and event two in blue, so that they will stand out. So far the chart will only let me show everything in one colour.
