Capture Active Workbook Events Via .xla Add-in
Mar 18, 2008
I wrote a small .xla add-in for Excel, which puts a command bar on top, and provides several buttons that do some tasks on the workbook that are frequently needed in our office. At some point, I needed to catch the event of a newly activated sheet, because my add-in will do something upon this event (namely, change the state of one of the buttons on its own command bar)
After some reading and searching, I managed to accomplish the task, however not completely. I first want to copy my code. The code has some tags in it, in order to make it easy to follow the flow and find out where the error lies. Here is the class module in the xla, which handles the events of the application:
' Class name is EventClassModule
Public WithEvents App As Application
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
MsgBox "Event Class initialized" ' Just to follow
End Sub
Private Sub App_WorkbookOpen(ByVal Wb As Workbook)
MsgBox "WB Opened: " & Wb.Name ' Just to follow
End Sub.......................

Is there a way to set up a cell selection event trigger through an addin when it is installed so that I can respond to selections made on user's sheets?

I'm building an Excel worksheet into a kind of dashboard with CommandButtons and TextBoxes to drive the functionality of the rest of the document.
I'm trying to recreate some of the functionality of a UserForm (e.g., tab order). I'm using the CommandButton's KeyDown event to respond if the user presses Enter:

I am trying to write a code where user has to respond to input box option depending on yes or no selection. There are two types of responses to different questions. One needs to respond between 1 and 100 (if yes) and for some other questions needs between 1 and 4 (if yes). A "no" will enter zeo value. But it is not working. I am using two named ranges "VALIDCELLS" (for 1 to 100) and "FREQVALIDCELLSS" (for 1 to 4). Here is the code;

Using Excel 2000, I have a shared workbook which is effectively a single sheet, flat database. Rows contain dates, and when certain dates occur, I want to send an email alert to specific users. I have searched and found lots of guidance on that aspect, but am wondering how best to trigger the email alert. At least one, and up to 10 users access the shared workbook at different times of day, and I only want to review the data and send the email alerts to the relevant users once per day.
I thought about a timed event, but cannot be sure the shared workbook will be open. I wondered whether an event in Personal.xls might do it, if I ensure I open Excel every day, but it's not ideal. Finally, I wondered if I could somehow trigger the alerts when the first user opens the workbook - but can't find how to capture that.

how data capturing works, using controls. I try to explain what I mean. I have a userform with a combobox that allows to select data from a worksheet in another workbook (database). Using VBA, I'm asked to define the "source" for the combobox. I don't understand the difference between controlsource and row source because when I close the userform, I find only the first field filled in (column "A"), while I would like the entire row to be copied.I also would like to have an "ok" button to allow me for multiple selection. In other words:
I select the desired data from the combobox
I click on the "ok" button ahd this event should copy the data (entire row) selected via the combobox on my worksheet without closing the userform in order to allow me to select other data on the same session. The row to copy data into is selected using the firstemptyrow method..

How can i manage that my code in the Workbook_Open() event is run when i open that workbook with some code from an other workbook?
When i manually open that workbook, excel runs all events, including my Workbook_Open() event, but i need to open this one out of an event of an other workbook.

I have a UserForm with a Text Box, I populate that Text Box with a number (say 5) and then the following code runs:
Code:
Private Sub tbOverrideMokWh_Change()
Application.EnableEvents = False: Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With tbOverrideMokWh
[Code]....
After the Sub is run 1 time, it runs again. Why? I've disabled Events?

I have a program that uses the Document Open event to display a custom form. This program is being used on about 50 computers for the past 8 years with no problems. One user has a problem now. They can open the program once and the code fires. But when the user tries to open the same file a second time, the "Microsoft Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close" dialog box is displayed. The document that is recovered has no vba modules and no code in the Document open event. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Office Professional. Shut down all firewalls.

I've been using the following code to bring in individual cell values from one closed workbook to an active one. I would like to modify this is possible to bring in multiple cells at once and also pull them into a different worksheet in the active workbook. Basically, my command button is on Sheet1 but I'd like the data to pull into a cell on Sheet2.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
With Range("Q9")
.Formula = "='C:Users[Workbook Name.xlsm]Worksheet Name'! N27"
.Value = .Value

I run a model in Excel that automatically saves my file every xx iterations. After saving the file I want to make a backup of the file. Tried
[Code] .....
but get a permission denied error message.
I don't want to use .SaveAs as it is a huge file that takes a while to save and SaveAs has a tendency to break links that should not be broken..

I have some vba that opens a closed workbook, copies data from a named range and then pastes it to the active workbook.
However, what is happening is that the closed workbook is opened and only part of the data is pasted. What I would prefer to happen is this:
Open the closed workbook-->copy the named range-->paste(append) to next empty cell in column B.
Heres the code that I have got.
Sub Workbook_test()Dim wb As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False ' turn off the screen updating
Set wb = Workbooks.Open("G:WAREHOUSEPlanningSmartNew Training Plan raining plan.xls", True, True)

I have a workbook that is a formatted report that I need to insert data from a name variable "CSV" file. I have created a macro in this workbook that calls an "Open" dialog for CSV files that I can use to browse to and open the source file. The macro then is supposed to "select all" copy and close the workbook then make the original workbook active and paste the data starting at row 2. The macro "seems" to be working perfectly except when I do the open the macro then makes the original workbook active, selects all copies then wants to close the original workbook. How can I tell the macro that the csv file that I just opened should be the active workbook, baring in mind that the name won't be known before the time it's opened so I can't hardcode the "active. workbook (NAME) "route.

I am aware that I can use single changing events in worksheet change events. For instance, if column 1, or A is changed, do something. This is only a single If statement, i.e. either the condition is true, or not. What I am not sure is if I can use two changing events, i.e. two conditions. For e.g. I would like if Column A value is X and Column B is "Active", action it, but only if two conditions are true.
For.e,g. The below syntax does not work. If it is only column A, it does work, but I want both A and B to be true, then copy and paste the target does not anything.
VB:
If Target.Column = 1 Then
If Target.Column = 2 Then
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A2:A" & Rows.Count)) Is Nothing Then
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B2:B" & Rows.Count)) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Value = "X" And Target.Value = "Active" Then

I have an add-in (MyAddin.xla) that is called from my open_workbook event in my workbook (MyBook.xls):
Private Sub workbook_open()
AddIns("MyAddin").Installed = False
AddIns("MyAddin").Installed = True
ThisWorkbook.Activate
Run "MyAddIn.xla!WbookOpen"
End Sub
I put this in my WbookOpen procedure:
Sub WbookOpen(pWorkbook As Workbook)
MsgBox "Wbook Open Active workbook is " & ActiveWorkbook. Name
End Sub
The message displayed is:
Wbook Open Active workbook is MyAddin.xla
I thought this would be:
Wbook Open Active workbook is MyBook.xls.

Copy the active sheet that is open in a work book and save it to another file with the date in the name? For example Report_11-03-08.xls
The only problem I see with this. How could I also make it append a letter to report if the file already exits Example saved as
Report1_11-03-08.xls. Then just continue incrementing.
Sub CopySave()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ActiveSheet.Copy
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveSheet.SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "/" & "Report_" & Format(Date, "mm_dd_yy") & ".xls"
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
