I am looking to check if its open, if it is, then copy the row, if not, then close it.
I am still new to vb, so learning as I go, but looked at many other posts, and there are so many ways i have seen to open one, I'm not sure which is the best, and none that I have seen show me if they check if its open.
I did a macro on my mac to transfer a sheet from one workbook to another worbook. It works very well when the destination workbook is open. Therefore I wanted to add some piece of code to check if the destination workbook is open. If not then I wanted the macro to open it before tranfering the sheet. Here is the code I´m using for tranfering the sheet
Sub Transfer_Sluttet()
If ActiveSheet.Index <> Sheets.Count Then
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set ws = ActiveSheet
Sheets(ws.Index + 1).Delete
ws.Move Before:=Workbooks("Sluttet.xls").Sheets("sheet2")
'Moves active sheet to beginning of named workbook.
'Replace Test.xls with the full name of the target workbook you want.
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End If
End Sub
This is the type of macro I useually use on my pc to check if a workbook is open and if not then open it
If IsWorkbookOpened("Filename.xls", "C:Documents and ..................
I would like to write a Sub that will see if a workbook is open and if it is not then open it. I know how to have a macro automatically open a workbook, but I run into problems when the macro runs and tries to open an already opened workbook.

I have tried using some of the answers already on here but not getting anywhere.
I have a code that close a csv workbook after use. But sometimes the book is not opened from the start of, and then I get an error trying to close it.
How can I easily determine if the workbook wbOBX is open or not?

I have to files and a macro which copies data from one file to the other. The code goes as follows:
Sub test()
Range("A2").Activate
ActiveCell.Copy
ChDir "D:"
Workbooks.Open Filename:="D: est2.xls"
Range("B1").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
End Sub
Everything is ok as long as the second file (test2) - the one data is copied to, is closed the moment the macro starts acting. The problem is: when test2.xls was opened before the macro was activated a window pops up saying that all unsaved data in test2.xls would be lost.
The best thing to do is to write a piece of code stating that : if the target file is closed then the macro should open it and do its stuff, but if the target file is already opened than the macro should simply switch to the already opened workbook without trying to reopen it. All I need is a piece of code regulating that
Y have files that are stored as .xla files because they are standalone applications that just contain the code.
Y need to test if one .xla file is open and if so close it, so i'am able to open another one. Otherwise the APP withevents from both APP get all mixed up.
I'am actually doing it from vb.net 2005 and i 'am using latebinding.
But the code would be similar y guess.
I have a small group of excel files that I've tried to code to update a master file. I have borrowed code snippets and adapted the rest (still trying to learn). My appologies to those I borrowed from! I would give you full credit if I could remember who did what. Anyway, The files are on a network share folder and everything works perfectly for me, but when one of the people who this was disigned for tries to update it always says "File already open, please try again later." This message is built in to the code.
All the files are in the same shared folder (to make it easier for me) along with the master file.
Here is the code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Const strMaster As String = "PMT_Master.xls"
Dim wbMaster As Workbook
Dim srcrng As Range
Dim destrng As Range
How do you check to see if this is the only workbook open. Basically, I want something like:
If only workbook open
application.quit
else
activeworkbook.close
how to check if a workbook is open or not, and then do something on the resualt. What I would like to know is, how can I make the program check if the file is open on another on the server where others can access it? I'm reading this back, not sure im explaining it right... If i have a macro that checks if a file is open, is it checking if its open on just my PC, or is it checking if its open else where?
This is the function Roy did for me: [code].........
I have some code setup to create hyperlinks to all the excel files relevant to the current project a user is working on - it details when each file was last modified so it's possible to see how the project is progressing - and whether or not they need to review any changes.
I could do with including a flag detailing if someone else currently has the file open (prior to them attempting to open the file - as they're more than likely to open as read only and end up saving under a new filename - which I don't want happening) - as many of the projects are shared (one user might be in Edinburgh, the other in London for Example). It would be handy to display the user's excel User Name (as I've persuaded everyone to update this). I've added messageboxes identifying Last modified by user x , dd/mm/yyyy hr:min to auto_open's in the past, but am experiencing brain-freeze today
Private Sub Workbook_Open()

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy company used Excel with VBA as a sales tool. We recently updated to new application all together. The sales force, being familiar with Excel and most of them finding it much easier is still giving old pricing quotes based on some of the built in product forms and calculating tools from the Excel files. I want them to still be able to view the excel files they made in order to see old customer data and projects they built but I needed to disable all the features so they can’t save as just build another quote using the tool
I've locked down a copy of the tool how I want it locked down but now I need to figure out a way that anytime excel is opened by anyone in the domain; I need to check if certain criteria exists on that workbook (Sheet1. Name = “xxx” And Sheet21.Name = “zzz”) etc. f it meets the criteria I need to import my revised modules (module1 and module3) and form (frmsplash) over the existing copies of the modules and form. If not I need to allow the intended workbook to open as intended.
They employees initially got the document by downloading it under the same name, but have since saved the document as many other names.
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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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....
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?

Is it possible to modify it to paste into a different workbook called c:filesDestination.xlsm, instead of the existing workbook (Source.xlsm)? The destination sheet name is the same (Sheet2). It's OK if both workbooks are open at the same time.
Is there a way to run a macro in an open workbook when the workbook becomes activated or deactivated? So if I have workbook A open with a macro in it and workbook B open as well, can I have the macro run on workbook A when that becomes the workbook I see on my screen?

I have an automated ordering system that saves each sent order as the date e.g "05-04-2013.xls" but the management team want a graph with the data for the last 4 weeks compared. I have created a seperate workbook called "consumables report.xls" which has a column with the products listed followed by columns "Quantity" and "cost" which is repeated for the 4 weeks of the month.
I want to add a button to prompt the user to choose the saved order e.g "05-04-2013.xls" (all orders saved in same directory) to copy and paste the quantity and cost columns (c8,D69) into "consumables report.xls". I got this to work earlier but it would only paste the formulas and not the values. So I need
A prompt to open workbook
Copy range (c8,d69)
Close work sheet
Paste special .value (c8,D69)
I dont care if it has to open the workbook to copy the data as this will only be used once a month so it dosnt matter how slow the code is.

I created folder on my desktop to hold various documents. I have master excel document which contains forms and command buttons that open documents from same folder. Is there a way to change code instead of having full file path to specify current directory. I'm worried that if I move this folder to another location then my open file button will not work since location is changed.
Also when I open with command button word document, I have a button on word document to close. I can close document but word application is still active. Can I close word application with the document at the sam time. This is the code I'm using: "ActiveWindow.Close"
I currently have a macro set up to run once a workbook is saved/ closed. This works fine unless tehre is more than one workbook open. When I try it with more than 1 different workbook open I get a run error.
My code begins:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
and then performs the macro. I don't really want to specify the filename as this is liable to change. Is there anyway of adding a "this workbook" command to the text string, and if so where would it go?
if workbook("Result") is not open then
add new workbook and name it "Result + date and time"
else activate workbook "Result"
I found an outlook plugin that saves any incoming emails as text. It also has an option to run an exe or bat file on saveing the email to text. I have a macro in a worksheet that will process the email to a database and send out a response.
What I am trying to figure out is how to run the macro in the worksheet whenever an incoming email is saved. So I have the 2 components that I need, I just need to tie them together so that everything is automated.
Does anyone know how to achieve this? Can I use a batch file to open an excel workbook and run a macro? Or can I create a standalone macro (outside of excel) that can open the excel file and run the macro.
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 RelatedI'm trying to get a Workbook.Open macro to work. I"m using the exact name for the location. For example:

The problem is that LastRow does not seem to look in the workbook that the macro has open, and always returns a value of 1. If I place the sheet that i want to run the macro on, in the workbook that contains the macro there is no problem. What do I need to do to fix this.

I am trying to write code to open a new (blank) workbook while in an existing workbook (I am then going to pass data between the two which is easy). When I try to record the code to get the syntax for opening a new workbook it will not record any code. I also need to name the new workbook based on text in a cell in the existing workbook. I just saw before posting this that the code;
workbooks.add
will open a new workbook now I just need to name the new workbook based on text in my existing workbook.
Is it possible to use a macro to:
1. Open Excel from the Desktop
2. Open a workbook
3. Execute a macro from this workbook
If so, how can it be done, specially point 1?
