Check To See If File Is Available

Nov 18, 2009

In the code below, I am trying to add code that will verify that the file to be opened is actually there. If it's not, I want a message box to tell the user that the file is missing or not there. My efforts have XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX above and below my inserted code. Sorry, but I'm lost and need a method of advising the user via a message.

Check Username On File Start Up

Oct 28, 2009

i have a spreadsheet with the following worksheets:

"Data Entry" (sheet 1)
"Menu" (sheet 2)
"Username" (sheet 3)

In username the range a2:b5 contains the following:
a2= John b2=Write
a3=Scott b3=Readonly
where John or Scott are usernames in Environ("Username")

Is it possible to write a macro that does the following:
1. When the file is opened it looks at the network username and checks again the Username range in sheet3, if it is Write then the user can change cells in Data Entry and save the workbook, if Readonly then they can only view and not save, and if not there at all, then the worksheet closes.

2. When the file is opened write a log in a hidden sheet callled "Log" of the time opened and the username

3. Is it possible to do the same but making a copy of all cells changed ??

Macro: Check If File Open

Dec 19, 2006

I have a form in Access with a button that opens an Excel file. I think I've seen vba code to tell if a specific Excel file is open already. What I'm looking for is a way to tell if an Excel file is already open when you don't know the filename of the Excel file. Is that possible? Or at the very least is there a way to be able to tell if Excel is already open?

Check File Open With Random Path

Oct 27, 2008

I have an application that requires users to download a file from a location that is then imported at their execution into the application. I've done my best to counsel users to download the file to their desktop (for ease of locating) and to stick with a standard filename so that there are no errors. Some of these people just don't take direction well, will save the file wherever, or save the name inappropratly, or worse, open up multiple copies of the same file corrupting the name: ie: FileName.xls, FileName.xls(1), FileName1.

Check If Workbook Is The Only Excel File Open

Jul 17, 2009

I am just wondering if there is a way of checking if the workbook that is currently open is the only one that is open, as I have been asked to make my code exit the application if this is the case rather that just close that one file.

The other day, I had posted a macro, which copies one of the sheets from a workbook, on to a blank sheet, and then saves it with a name obtained from the value of cell E7. I required certain modifications to it, before I could implement it.

You will find it here and the code looks like this:

Check Certain Cells For Data Before Saving File

Jul 2, 2008

I have a macro used to save a worksheet, its placed on the DATA sheet.
is there a way so that when the user clicks this button each row 12:200 is checked for empty cells in that row (cells B:P). If a row is found the ref number in column A of each row is placed into next available row in Sheet3

For example :
A12 = 12345
A13 = 6789
A14 = 9876
A15 = 54321

the DATA sheet is populated with various data in rows 12:15
it is found that B12, L12, E14,F14,P15 all have no data, so the values of A12,A14 and A15 are placed into next row in Sheet3

Result in sheet3

A2= 12345 (valuse of A12 in DATA Sheet)
A3= 9876 (value of A14 in DATA Sheet)
A4= 54321 (value of A15 in DATA sheet)

Finally a message box to state there is missing data, for example

"there is missing data from refs 12345 , 9876 , 54321" ie the list pasted into sheet

Open File - Check For Write Protection

Sep 18, 2009

I have a command that opens up another workbook. This workbook is sometimes open on another computer, so that the book opens up on my computer in write-protected mode (shows in the top of the window). Usually, when opening other books through the Excel functionality, a message box appears if the file is open and warns that the file is in use by another user. However, with the code I have at the moment, this is not the case when I try to open with my command. See code below:

Private Sub cmdOpenBook_Click()
'Open book
ChDir "I:DevelopmentSpecialUtvikling"
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"I:DevelopmentSpecialUtviklingJointApp.xls"
End Sub

Is there any way of displaying a msgbox warning when opening another file through VBA?

Check Which User Has File/Workbook Open

Jul 28, 2004

I have a program that opens an excel-workbook, I first check whether the file is opened by another user(open for read-write). This works fine, but I'd like to know which user has the file open with VBa code. ex.

workbooks.open ....
if open
then msgbox " Book opened by user"
end if

So it's the same as you open an excel(with your windows explorer) on a network and you get the message that the file is already opened by the user....

Loop Through Set Of Files And Check If File Doesn't Exist?

Feb 11, 2014

My problem is that I want to loop through a directory that contains csv files. The directory is dynamic so everytime could be a different number of files inside. I want the loop to go through each file and check if that file exists. If it doesn't to print a message that this specific files doesn't exist. Until now I got the following code:

[Code] .........

I guess I should somehow place the counter j inside the Dir path in order to check if everytime time the file[j] exists?

I have two workbooks open, the first is a summary, the second has new data that needs transferring into the summary. Before transferring the data I need to check that 10 specific sheets exist in the file with the new data.

Dim mySheetName As String, mySheetNameTest As String
ActiveWindow.ActivateNext
mySheetName = "Data"
On Error Resume Next
mySheetNameTest = Worksheets(mySheetName).Name
If Err.Number = 0 Then

Speed Check On Returning File Path Strings

May 23, 2007

I have some code traversing a directory of folders and subfolders on a shared server and returning a list of those file paths. Around 6000 folders with about 2 subfolders on average. This returns a list of 12000 filepaths but takes around 13-15 minutes to do. Each path looks something like this:

C:Folder1
C:Folder1Folder1SubFolder1
C:Folder1Folder1SubFolder2
C:Folder2
C:Folder2Folder2SubFolder1
C:Folder2Folder2SubFolder2

How To Alter Fixed XLSX File To Check For Non Blank Cells

Dec 19, 2012

I have attempted to alter this example to simply check if the cells are not blank by replacing the "X" with "<>", but I get errors in the SMALL function--it looks like the IF statement is just returning an array with all of the values set to FALSE, and none of the values in the array call out a location of the next filled cell.

How could you alter your fixed XLSX file to check for non-blank cells instead of "X" specifically?

May 14, 2009

I have two workbooks. One is a no-nonsense form interface that my bosses will use to enter safety information. I'll call this workbook "Form". This file is stored locally on each of their computers. The other workbook is stored on a common drive. I'll call it "Master".

When my bosses fill out the Form and click "Submit", the Master file is opened, and certain cells are populated based on information entered in the Form. This is the code I am using to make this happen:
