Check User Input To Prevent Run-Time Error

Dec 28, 2007

what I want. It relies on an input box asking the user to enter a part code, which when found creates a duplicate copy. However, if the user enters a part that doesn't exist I get a run-time error. Can anybody point me in the right direction so when a user enters an incorrect part they get a message telling them it doesn't exist.

Private Sub SortTest_Click()
Dim s As String
Dim r As Excel. Range

Range("A2").Activate
s = InputBox("Enter the number you wish to find")
If StrPtr(s) = 0 Then
MsgBox "You must enter an existing part number!"
Else
Set r = Cells.Find(What:=s, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)

Range(Cells(r.Row, "A"), Cells(r.Row, "AH")).Copy
Sheets("APL").Cells(r.Row, "A").Insert Shift:=xlDown


Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.Goto Sheets("APL").Cells(r.Row, "H")
Selection.Offset(-1, -5).ClearContents
Selection.Offset(-1, 0).Select
End If

End Sub

Prevent The User From Saving The Data Input From The User Form If Any Of Those Three Fields Is Left Blank

Feb 9, 2010

I have a user form that has a combo box "City" two text boxes one called "Flight" and the other "Date". What I'm trying to do is to prevent the user from saving the data input from the user form if any of those three fields is left blank. The code that I have so far checks all of the required fields, if any are left blank a message notifys which field(s) is left blank and return the focus back to that field. But the rest of code also fires.

What I really need is either to stop the code if any fields are blank and return the focus back to the blank field, the user completes the field(s) and clicks the save again, or better yet, pause the code until all the required fields are completed and then complete the save. (There is actually another 200+ lines of code in this sub, but I deleted it to keep the post a little shorter.)

How To Prevent User Error

Jan 6, 2009

I have a simple spreadsheet which requires a date (mm/dd/yy) in Column A. Columns B-F use formulas to break this date down into the month, quarter, year, etc. Users frequently need to add new rows at the top of the sheet just below the column headers.

To be sure the formulas in Columns B-F are included when adding new rows, I put together a simple macro which copies the top ten rows, inserts them at the top of the sheet, and then clears existing data from the new rows (keeping formulas intact).

I put a button on the sheet to run this macro. However, sometimes users insert new rows without using the macro. This results in no data in Columns B-F for these new rows because the formulas weren’t copied.

How can I prevent this from happening? If I protect the sheet and prevent users from inserting new rows, the macro won’t run. Is there something I can add to the macro that will allow it to run properly while the sheet is protected? Below is the macro code.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Rows("3:12").Select
Selection.Copy
Rows("3:3").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown
Range("A3:A12").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.ClearContents
Range("G3:K12").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.ClearContents
Range("A12").Select
End Sub

Array To Check User Input Match

Feb 22, 2007

This is what i want to do: SEE ATTACHEMENT

•Write codes to pop up an InputBox to ask the user for a customer name.

•The program uses the user’s input to check whether the name is on the list. If it is, display an msgbox saying that the customer name is on the list, and the corresponding cell will be indicated in boldface and in blue. Otherwise, an msgbox will be displayed saying that the customer name is not on the list.

Dim the customer list as an array (string var. type) and Dim Found as Boolean. You will need the If-Then construction and For-Next or Do-While/Until loop too). Create a button to run and another to restore the formatting to its original style.

This is what i did so far and still having problems with it:

Option Explicit

Sub customers()

Dim Arr()
Dim R As Integer
Dim C As Integer
Dim ReturnColumn As Boolean

Time Fractions And User Input

Mar 12, 2008

What I am doing is creating a spreadsheet solution to tack race times. These show up in past performances in the following formats in paper copies: 45 2/5 seconds. The end user would have to put in maybe 30 of these times based on the number of contestants. Keeping in mind that the 45 2/5 number will be used in some calculations, I want to give the user the easiest input interface. Meaning instead of inputting like this; 0:45.4 (mm:ss/00 format), I would like them to just enter 45.4. the spreadsheet would input format this cell into a time format that would be able to have calculations done to it. Another example might be 1:35.60 (mm:ss.00 format) which is 1 minute 35 and 3/5 seconds. This would be entered as 135.6.

A few questions first:

1) Would it be easier to leave the number inputed alone until the calculations ar finished then translate into a time factor?

or

2) would it be necessary to convert into a time factor as inputted be cause of the 60 factor involved with the time factor?

Having asked those questions, setting this all up with the exact scope I am working towards, any help or sugesstions as to the best way to proceed would be fantastic!

UserForm - Keep User In Textbox If They Made Format Input Error

Oct 27, 2012

I have a userfrom with a text box which is used to receive a telephone number from the user. The 'Event' code that checks the formatting of the telephone number is "tbCustTel_Exit". If my user enters a format other than what is acceptable for a tel number, they get an error message telling them to re-enter.

My problem is they still end up EXITING that text box they made a mistake in? How can I override them exiting the text box if they make a mistake - and keep them in the text box so they can try and re-enter the tel number again?

Runtime Error -2147417848 Running User Form A Second Time

Mar 28, 2007

I have a user form that builds a workbook from one template sheet and information in a SQL Server database. The template sheet contains 4 charts that are copied to every new sheet in the workbook, then their data ranges are set through VBA code. For a while the code was working wonderfully. All the necessary sheets were being generated and correctly populated.

Yesterday I added a new module to generate another sheet and pull data from the same SQL Server tables. Now if I run the userform it will work fine once and create all the needed sheets, and set all the charts to the proper ranges. However, if I delete all the created sheets and run the form again, I get:

Runtime Error '-2147417848 (80010108)'

Automation Error
The Object Invoked has disconnected from its clients

The error consistantly occurs for the following line of Selection.Copy Destination:=Worksheets("Master").Range("D1")

After the error the selected range still shows up as surrounded by a selection box, but if I change sheets, the box moves to the new sheet. Also I cannot select any new cells in the work book. In order to get Excel to work again I have to End Task from the Task Manager just to get it to close. When I restart Excel and go back to my work book I get the same results, i.e. The form works great once, then Excel dies.

I have tried qualifing all of the objects that can be qualified. I have tried setting all possible varriables to Nothing before exiting my macros. Nothing I have tried, or found suggested so far in the forum works.

Prevent A User From Opening Another Workbook

Feb 12, 2009

How can I prevent a user from opening another workbook in an Excel session "from the outside"?

I'm fairly new to VB. I'm developing (in VB 2003) a simple but SECURE Excel environment which will allow a user to update a hidden Master_Records workbook. I need to keep the user's Excel session secure...for example, I've disabled all Excel Toolbars and Command Buttons, effectively preventing the user from doing anything except filling in some cell values and clicking on a few custom buttons in the worksheet. But how can I prevent the user from opening another workbook into the active session from his desktop and introducing some malicious code into the session via that route?

One respondent in another forum (the only one, in fact) suggested that I look into "instantiating workbook level events" so that I can detect when other workbooks are open. I'm not sure what that means, is there someone here who could give me some guidance into that solution?

Prevent The User From Scrolling In A Sheet?

I have an Excel sheet that displays 50 rows and 20 columns when it is opened the first time. These rows and columns are the only ones that I want the user to be able to see. The user shouldn't be able to navigate the sheet by using the scroll bars or the wheel on the mouse. I have of course already removed the scroll bars but I don't know how to handle the scroll wheel problem.

Prevent Formula Being Deleted When Visible To User?

Apr 20, 2013

I am using following code to effect a change which works fine:

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Sheets("Closed Flts").Unprotect "abcd"
Sheets("Faults").Unprotect "abcd"

[Code].....

But when the sheet is unprotected to effect this change the formula in cells ( row I and L) are visible to user and can delete them. Or they can even delete the cell itself or modify formula.

The formule in Row I is
Code:
=IF(A12="","",IF(G12=1,A12,IF(G12=2,A12,IF(G12=3,A12+1,IF(G12=4,A12+5,IF(G12=5,A12+28,"priority?"))))))
And in Row L is
Code:
=IF(A13="","",IF(I13

Prevent User Seeing Senstive Information In Hidden Rows/Columns

Aug 19, 2008

I have a feeling the answer to this will be 'no' based on the searching I've done, but is it possible to allow formatting of rows/columns on a protected worksheet, yet prevent the user from unhiding some rows/columns I don't want them to see? I've allowed them to format rows/columns so they can "size" them to fit the text they enter, but that has opened up the ability for them to unhide columns. Using Shrink To Fit would be cumbersome due to the number of cells involved.

Error Checking Routine - Check Range Values On Various Worksheets And Report If Error

May 29, 2014

Error Check Marco.xlsm

see attached example. I am trying to write an error detection routine that iterates through worksheets that have numeric values for names (ignore text names or alphanumeric). Macro checks range on each numeric worksheet E3:E33 and is supposed to report back on the SummarySheet if any value other than 1 or 0 is found in range E3:E33 on any numeric-name worksheet. Code as follows:

[Code] ....

Problem is that it just reports EVERY worksheet as having an error when clearly most don't (none do I think in the attached example).

Try changing some of ranges E3:E33 to values other than 1 or 0, it still reports all sheets. Why the macro does not evaluate the range E3:E33 properly and just reports every worksheet as having an error?

the code just crashes. and returns an error 1004 on the line i have highlighted in yellow

Error Handling - Only Want To Check The Error On Single Line?

Sep 12, 2012

So the issue I am having is that I have a worksheet with two long rows of value. If the user enters the incorrect value, the program gives a error case of 1004. If and when this error occurs I want the program to send a MessageBox to the user then end the program. The problem that I am running into is that whenever I write On Error Goto... It Goes to the label whenever any runtime error occurs. My belief is that there has to be a way to only check for a runtime error on a single line of code rather than the entire sub.

I've added a GoTo Error before my loop which checks if there are any files in the directory and shows an error message if it's the case. Problem is since the loop goes on till there are no more files in the directory, it goes back to the error. How to change that ?

Hide/Prevent #DIV/0 Error

Apr 6, 2008

My wife is trying to use an Excel Spreadsheet to help teaching fractions and decimals to children.

She wants a cell where the children enter the numerator and a cell where they enter the denominator and a cell where the result (to two decimal places) is shown. I have designed an appropriate sheet but would like to "fancy it up" a little.

If the denominator cell is empty, the result cell shows the error message "#DIV/0!".

I'd like this message to be hidden until the children have entered both a numerator and a denominator.

The numerator is in cell D2, denominator is in cell D6 and result is displayed in merged cells C8 - E8.

I've tried conditional formatting the cell with white text if the cell is zero and black if it is non-zero and also tried to specify white text if the cell value is equal to "#DIV/0!" but both do not do what I want.

If there was a way to specify white text for this cell if another cell was zero, that would do it too (ie. if cell D6=0 then conditionally format cells C8-E8 to be white text).

I've also tried a rather inelegant solution where the denominator cell has a "dummy value" (say 0.1) and then conditionally formatted this cell to make the text white (so that it doesn't show up). The results cell can then be conditionally formatted with two conditions: 1. If cell = 0 then white text and 2. if cell is non-zero black text. However, this means that as soon as any number is entered into the numerator, the results cell becomes visible.

Example. Initially cell D2 is blank, D6 has "dummy" value 0.1 and results cell (C8 - E8) has the value 0 in it (0 / 0.1 =0) conditionally formatted to be "invisible".

When a positive number is entered into cell D2 (the numerator) such as 2, the result (2 / 0.1 = 20) is non-zero and so 20.00 is displayed.

How can I hide the error message "#DIV/0!" until the denominator is no longer zero?
