Buttons Disappear On Some Machines
Nov 9, 2006
In recent weeks, when I've been asked to demonstrate excel applications which make use of buttons, I've found that on some machines the buttons will variably display as flat grey rectangles with no label, or boxes with red 'x's, or alternatively not appear at all. There seems to be no pattern since the variations have all happened on single machines, then not at all on similar machines.
So far it has only been company laptops (not my own machine), hooked up to overhead projectors which end up with this problem. I can't think of anything I would have done manually to disable the buttons from appearing.
Is this a known issue, or is this simply down to the user preferences and/or security settings?

I'm using excel 2010. I have a spreadsheet with a row that is hidden. One cell in this row contains a button. I have a macro that copies this hidden row, inserts it at another point on the spreadsheet and unhides it. It works great in excel 2007, but the button on the hidden row disappears when I close the sheet and re-open it.

by using radio buttons or checkbox, or anything similar. Based on the answer, I would like cells to appear below the question, for example in B3 another question would be "how many guests would you like to invite?" and B2 would be their answer but is preset to "0"

I have code that sends a section of the worksheet and copies a macro button after selecting cell L52 by
Range("L52").Select
This code ran on another computer for months without problem. Now my coworker is getting this error "Runtime 1004 Paste Method of Worksheet Class failed."
The macro has ActiveSheet.Paste highlighted when I click debug.
This exact same worksheet running on my machine works perfectly. What can I look for? I checked the security settings on the rogue machine and Trust Access to VB project is clicked (to allow the code for button to transfer).

I set up a spreadsheet for use by my colleagues, on an Acer 17 inch portable. My colleagues all use HP or Dell with 15 inch monitors (and different graphics cards to mine). They all complained that when they opened my sheet, the page breaks were all in the wrong place. When they fixed the breaks on their machines and I opened those file, the breaks were now in the wrong place on mine, but were all right on theirs.
I have now "upgraded" to a Toshiba 17 inch laptop, and find that my original spreadsheet done on the Acer 17 inch shows page breaks in the wrong place on my new machine.
Is this something to do with display adaptors? If so, does anyone know what I can do to standardise this across the board? (My boss uses a 20 inch screen, and the sheet for him is even more wildly out).

I'm working on a spreadsheet that will connect to a firebird DB (Programmed using VBA and ADO intially).. The spreadsheet itself will reside on a server in a shared folder..
When a user opens the file up, I'd like for the spreadsheet to use the servers ODBC connection, and not the client machine.. This way we don't have to install the Firebird ODBC driver on each client workstation..

I am trying to create a worksheet that has multiple radio buttons. Each radio button is linked to a Macro. I need there to be many buttons running down one side of the worksheet. Each button needs to perform a macro that is relevant to the cells in the same row that it is on.
Essentially what i am trying to do is make a macro that when the button is pressed copys data from H6 and paste it into B6. The button is situated above I6. I need a button for each row from 6 to 110.
While this macro is easy to create (i use the record button and then assign the macro to the button), i would have to do this 104 times and assign a new macro to each button.
Is there a quicker way?

Is it possible to change the color of buttons or command buttons? There does not seem to be any place that allows this under properties for buttons, although there does for command bars. However, I've tried recording a macro as I change the color, but nothing get's recorded so I'm not sure what the syntax would be.
I have a spreadsheet with several buttons and I'd like them to change colors as they are pressed so it's possible to see what you've already done. And then, as soon as any other cell on the sheet is changed, the buttons reset color.

One of my workbooks won't allow me to use the VBE variable types (VBProject, VBComponent, etc.) They aren't on the popup list that appears when I type " as ". If I just type in "VBProject", I get a compile error "User-defined type not defined". I have to define the variable as object, and the macro still works. I do not have this problem in any other workbook.

before i run my macro, i would like a msg box that appears that says "please wait, this may take a while". I've tried using the msgbox function but unless the user presses the "OK" button on it, the macro won't run....
any suggestions on how i can have a userform/msgbox appear while the macro is working in the background (without the user having to press "ok")

I think I asked this in a much more complicated & confusing way before; hoping this makes more sense. I'd like to set something up so that when a name is entered in ColA of sheet1, it disappears from a list of names in ColA of sheet 2.

Why after the first loop (Z=2) all of a sudden column A in WS ATT disappears. Worth adding that column M in WS L is a "dynamic" range (at first it contains 7 cells) in the sense that it shrinks with each loop (M2:M8, second loop: M2:M7 etc.).

I have a worksheet (in a workbook with many worksheets) where some of the cells display the formula I put in after I leave the cell. I've made sure that the cell format is General before I type anything in the cell. I've inserted new rows, above where the problem is and have tried going to another cell in a different part of the work sheet but I have the same problem. I use the same formulas in two other worksheets. The formulas include other worksheets in them. example =IF(PlotMaster!B2="","",PlotMaster!B2). I can't figure out what is going on.

I've created some code so that when users want to update something on and Excel template I'm creating for them that the information they've put in is backed up. They give the backup a name using an inputbox and it loops through previously loaded backups that I've stored in a separate sheet and checks if the backup already exists. If it does a msgbox appears to ask them if they want to replace the existing copy. If they choose not to, it re-opens the inputbox.
The issue I'm having is that the msgbox doesn't close before the input box opens and it looks messy and may be confusing. Is there any way, without creating a useform, that I can force the msgbox to close once the user has made a choice before the inputbox opens?
Here is the code:
Code:
1
BackName = InputBox("Give the backup a name", "Backup Name")
If BackName = "" Then GoTo 2
For i = 1 To LR1
If UCase(Sheet18.Cells(i, 1).Value) = UCase(BackName) Then
If MsgBox("Backup already exists. Replace?", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then
[Code] ......

I created a macro that prints a label from a userform. The macro used to reside on an XP platform and performed without issues. IT decided they wanted to upgrade the machine to a Windows 7 platform. Now when the userform prints a small window pops up that looks like a print preview of the label, however it is transparent and has a window caption of 'Precut Label' as identified in the userform design. I am including a screenshot of the pop-up. The unusual thing about this is the window cannot be closed, moved or selected in any way shape or form. The only way to get it to close is to view the userform object in the vba editor. The line of code that triggers the print sequence as well as cause the pop-up is: frmLabel.PrintForm. This line of code is housed in the sheet1 object.

I have got this in a pivot table
Customer Total sales(USD)
30010 500.00
30041 2000.00
In another column I enter a comment for customer 30010(and leave the comment column for customer 30041 blank) as below
Data 1.xls
Customer Total sales(USD) Comment
30010 500.00 Test 1
30041 2000.00
Later on the content of the file changes as below:
Customer Total sales(USD)
30025 1500.00
30010 500.00
30041 2000.00
When the file is refreshed I would like to have comment as per the former file i.e the comment “Test 1” should appear against customer 30010 and similarly for any other customer that I enter the comment.It should be as below:
Customer Total sales(USD) Comment
30025 1500.00
30010 500.00 Test 1
Customer Total sales(USD) Comment
30041 2000.00

I sometimes import data in the copy-paste way from completely different sources, eg. a program on the web or whatever, which has arranged the data in a table.
It is often succesful with the data neatly arranged in the spreadsheet in columns and rows and all, but sometimes the gridlines disappear even though 'cell format' is set to 'none' in 'grid lines' and the settings have a mark for 'visible grid lines' and their color is 'automatic'. Only the imported area misses the gridlines.
It is of course possible to set some grey gridlines manually in cell format, but then I get them on the print also and I don't want that.

I run a football sweepstake involving 120 people. Each week everyone picks a premiership team who they think is going to win. If that team loses or draws they are out. This carries on until there is one person left and they win the money. I need to make a table with all the premiership teams and names down the x and y axis. When the team is marked as "lose" everyone who has chosen that team gets deleted.

creating a template for people. In the template, I want to create cells which instruct the user on what need to be filled in that cell.
For eg. go to [URL] In the box, it says 'Enter word or phrase'. When you click to enter a word, this line vanishes. I want to create a similar thing in Excel.
In Excel, for eg, in a cell it should say 'Enter Name' and when the user enter his name, this instruction should vanish. Also, this instruction should be in GREY and when they user enters his name it should be BOLD BLUE.

my sheet tabs sometimes disappears when I open excel. I know you can go through the start button and the advanced option to display the sheet tabs. Is there code I can incorporate so that on the opening of the excel file after the splash screen runs its course, the sheet tabs are displayed.

I have a file sheet named "ratio summary." The data to this is linked to a number of different working sheets (not in the attachment for obvious reasons)
Currently the data in the ratio summary is grouped by year but "open" and the Graph worksheet is automatically linked to the data in row11.
However when I group the data by year (i.e. clicking the "-" figure) the graph also changes.
I haven't deleted the data so don't understand why the graph data is changing.

I would like to do a routine in VBA on excel 2007 that makes the following:
1- When the mouse is over a cell it pops-up a window that shows a picture;
2- When the pointer is removed from the cell the window that contains the picture closes;
It is very important that the picture that is shown be adressed by a relative path from the folder in which is the excel file.
The pictures can change; this is the reason that the picture should be addressed by a path.
