I have a file I created which works fine for me, on my machine at least but there are two issues I'm trying to sort out.
The first issue is I need to share the file with others who may not have the same access rights. I have something loading in the Workbook_Open event which I want to bypass for users who do not have access to a specific folder. So I was trying to check their access using Dir(path) = "" at the top level folder to see if any files are present (which there are). My assumption was that if it finds files it's safe to assume they have permission and it's ok to continue, otherwise they don't in which case I want abort the rest of the code. This seems to work fine for me but I tried testing with someone I know does not have access and it gave her a compile error.
Part of the code in macro utilizes FileSystemObject which seems to be the line where the code bombs on my coworkers machine. The FSO seems related to appears related to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime reference, but it's not enabled on my machine or any of the others. I vaguely remember having to do something on my machine awhile back for the life of me don't remember what it was.
The second issue is an MS Forms error: "Could not load some objects because they are not available on this machine." appears when opening the file on three of the machines I tested but it does not appear on my machine. I've tried looking at the references and could not find any differences between the machines. I pored through various postings online and it appears it might be worth re-registering the DLL/OCX files but we need admin rights to do that so I will need to open a request with our support team.
I am putting together a corporate document which requires many different peoples access. It also requires these people to update/comment within specific columns to them.
I am really struggling with editing the columns to ensure only these specific people can access them.
Essentially I want to the document to be accessed by everyone, but column A can only be edited by Person A, column B can only be edited by Person B etc.
I've used 'Allow Users to Edit Ranges' and added a new range with a specified person - but this has not cured the problem, other people can still edit the column I'm trying to prevent them to.
Is it a case of just 'allowing' the specific person, or do I also need to 'deny' absolutely every other person to ensure that it works?
I have a workbook with several worksheets. The numbers entered by the user in the cells C7:C9 of sheet "A" will be used to calculate some values in sheet "A" as well as in sheet "B".
Calculations on both sheets involve macros: macro "scale" on sheet "A" and macro "sort" on sheet "B".
I used this code to execute macro "scale" on sheet "A" triggered by the Worksheet_Change function:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Intersect(Target, Range("C7:C9")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub Else scale End If End Sub
now, I want to execute macro "sort" on sheet "B" practically at the same time (with the same worksheet_change condition for sheet "A")
All off my attempts resulted in running "sort" in sheet "A" which is not what I want. I couldn't get it to execute the macro in the other worksheet. Already tried "With Worksheet("B") and "Dim ws As Worksheet, Set ws = Worksheets("B") - no luck...
I have a workbook which autosaves and closes if no data is input for 10 minutes. It resides on a drive accessable by all our team and is set so that only one person can have read/ wrote access at a time. It tests for read only, shuts down if it is and saves and shuts down if not.
I have noticed that it doesn't work if the workbook is waiting for input.
I.e. someone starts to enter text, or something, in a cell, then goes off to make a coffee or whatever leaving the entry cursor sitting there blinking. It will not shut down after the ten minutes with no input.
I have finaly completed my project to include all the bells and whistle needed to make an ok task a bit more exciting. However, i am having a problem when the code is executing. It seems to "break" at random points in the process. I am not able to duplicate this error at my home (nor do i want to) and I can not quite figure out what is causing this as it only happens at my work computer. I have tried my coworkers computer and the code executes flawlessly like at my home.
Strangely enough, when the code breaks I am able to hit 'continue' and it continues on its way until the next hiccup. Please assist as this fluke is causing my brain to spiral.
if I can send text to a macro and have VBA treat the text as a line of code?
Suppose in a worksheet in cell A1 there is the following "text" msgbox "hi there"
can you get vba to do the following:
Sub runtext() Mytext = sheets(1).range("a1").text XXXXXX Mytext End Sub
where "XXXXXX" is a method or command that will cuase vba to evaluate the text string and run it as a line of code (returning a message box saying "hi there")
I don't want to send variables/objects to an existing method in VBA - I want to send the method to VBA....
I am trying to find an item within an array and then VBA could execute code.
Here is an example:
[Code]....
LookupItems =("text", "value", "book") or should I acutally be using Split("text,value,book",",")
For Each sht in ThisWorkbook If sht.name = array(LookupItems) Then.....execute code
[Code] ....
So basically in this example I want to loop through all the sheet names in the workbook and if any of the names in the arrary are found it will execute the code for those particular sheet names.
I know alternatives are the select case or write an if statement for each value I am looking up or even use an OR for each value to lookup; but I just wanted to see if this method was even possible as it would be less coding.
I have written a vba code which does some calculation on the data on sheet 1 and then puts this data on sheet3 and after the calculation is done it puts the result on a few comboboxes on sheet2. Now the issue is while this whole calculation is performed by excel, I can see the movement in between the sheets. I want to avoid seeing this movement ?
Is it because of multiple Sheet.Select statements inside the vba code ?
The code that I'm using is supposedly not allow spreadsheet to be opened after a certain date, or does not allow a user to press any of the command buttons and comes up with a message saying the spreadsheet is closed for new entries.But is not working for me.
Modify Macro3 and use the InputBox function twice so that Macro3 would ask the user for a particular month and a particular year; and then Macro3 uses these user’s inputs to create the calendar template for that month of the year. For example, if the user enters February for the month and 2012 for the year, Macro3 would create a new
I am working with a class module and some fields require specific inputs that another coder may not intuitively know. How can I create a list of acceptable conastants that will appear as a drop down when the user is coding with the custom object?
For example: I am creating an Email Engine object that will handle all my emailing needs in code, because coding emails is such a pain. Then I can just create the blasted thing, import the class module where needed and never have to worry about it again. Some coworkers are interested in using the module for their projects when I am finished. I want to put an option for message flags in the object, but only certain colored flags are allowed. How can I get the VBE to show a little drop down with the acceptable flag constants when another user types
[Object Variable].MessageFlagColor = {drop down list of options} I started with
Public Property Let MessageFlagColor(Value As Constants)
Hi there, I have searched for this problem and whilst I can see several "round-about" ways to achieve what I want, none quite do it in a way I would like.
Essentially, I have a dropdown box, with a list of water types. What is selected from the dropdown determines the data from a lookup table that gets utilised in subsequent calculations.
The lookup table is protected and cannot be edited, however what I would like to do is for the last entry on the dropdown box, which could be called "special water" would then prompt for a password. If the correct password is entered than the last row of data corresponding to "special water" in the lookup, becomes unlocked and can be edited. If the password is not forthcoming the user cannot select special water and consequently cannot edit the corresponding row in the lookup.
I can think of a few long-winded ways to achieve the basic result, but nothing seems elegant....or fool proof
I had thought about a simple check box against the appropriate row in the lookup called "unlock" which would require a password to use. Once the password is entered, then it can remain open until the check box is clicked again whereby a password is required to "lock" it again
I have set a password under the permissions tab but all it does is protect the structure and not the content. I want all users to be able to view the file, but have to have the password to edit any of the sheets or data on the sheets. I can still protect the individual sheets, but that doesnt quite do what I want.
I have an the excel book with sheets that are password protected so that the users cannot delete rows or columns.
In each sheet I gave permissions for certain ranges that need to be filled out only to specific users that need to fill out those cells.
The users are located and managed in the Active Directory.
The point is that each user can only update his/her sheet within the Excel book.
It was working for a day or two and then all of a sudden without any changes all the permissions were gone and every user was able to edit every sheet.
I'm using VBA to query file information (path, name, size, dates, etc.) on files on a SharePoint site and returns them to Excel. I'm curious if also returning the document's permissions is possible. If not for the document, can one programmatically get the folder's permissions?
I need to get the data from an MDB file. No problems normally but in this case the MDB is protected with a workgroup file (MDW) from the old user level permissions that was available in Access.
Is it it possible to get data from the Data ribbon from a protected file or do I need to resort to vba?
I have been tasked with trying to find out the permissions on a set of folders on a company network. I know write vba code to manipulate a excel spreadsheet without any problems, but it is when i'm using objects that it starts to go beyond my capability. whilst searching i found this code:
It does a perfect job but puts the data into an html file. i managed to get it to input the data into the spreadsheet as well but i would like to clean this code up so that it is not producing another file (namely the text file or the html file) and just put the results into the excel file I have entered the module into.
I did start to remove the references to any file name, but that is where i run into trouble and it wouldn't run any more due to object not found.
I am having an issue with Excel creating a duplicate file when logged in as a user with restricted permissions on our network. If I modify a file while logged in as another user, excel will save the file but will also create a duplicate file with an eight character random name and no file extension. For example if user "Dave" opens a file called test.xls and saves it, in that same folder on the server a file named 296E9E20 will be created. Users are using Windows XP SP3 boxes and the server is running Win 2003. I am not sure why this only happens with Excel.
I currently have a password secured excel file on my departs Q drive, which everyone can access unfortunately only 1 person can edit at a time. I tried to turn it into a workbook so we could all edit it at the same time but now some of the other users can't access the file at our other buildings throughout the county. This is for excel 2010. And I did select the share workbook, and allow multiple users to edit box. everything else is unchanged.
Although i am using VBS, the coding should be similar. I am looking for all Excel files in a folder (WORKING) and determining if they are shared, allowmultipleusers, (WORKING). The problem I am encountering is changing the Excel workbook to a [SHARED] workbook. By that I mean Multiple users can open and make changes. What is the syntax to enable that? As an FYI I can save the [SHARED] workbooks as exclusive (normal), but not the reverse. I have tried Saveas,,,,,,xlshared, but is not working. Here is the VBS code I have (For grins)
Const APPLICATION_DATA = &H1a& Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") 'Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace("L:Shared Services Stock Rotation ReviewRotations for Review") Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace("C:Documents and Settingsmhast14DesktopRotations for Review") Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application") ..............
I have a userform with two check boxes and four textbox... and i have a command button... i want that when i check checkbox1, the value in textbox1 and textbox2 will appear on cell A1 and A2... and when i check checkbox2, the value in textbox3 and textbox4 will appear in cell A1 and cell A2.
I have a combobox which is used to select data (stock symbol) from a list. Following selection of the stock symbol, a VBA routine is invoked from a radio button which accesses the internet to get data for the selected stock. Currently, this is a two step operation. I tried to cut out the need to click on the download button by calling the GetData sub inside the combobox sub as shown in the code below.
Application.ScreenUpdating = False Dim s As Variant Dim resp As Long resp = MsgBox(prompt:="You are about to clear ALL current year payroll information. Are you sure you want to continue?", Buttons:=vbYesNo) If resp = vbNo Then
Obviously there is the Remove Duplicates option but I want something a bit different plus this option won't be available as the workbook is on complete lockdown.
There will always only be 214 rows to check in column B and the data cannot be sorted or it will mess a lot of things up!
Just wondering if there's some code that can check for duplicate entries because for the workbook to work, each row must have a different entry.
When the user selects this sheet a message box pops up telling them they can't have two or more entries the same but I feel this isn't enough as there's nothing actually stopping them doing this.
I use a userform to make sales data entries into a database. The userform contains textboxes for:
Invoice No.Invoice DateGrossVatNet The Invoice No. is the first entry box on the userform and it is important that users enter the correct format (which is alphanumeric).
It is also important that a checking is carried out to ensure that the Invoice Number being entered has not already been used.
I use the following code to ensure that the numbers are entered in the desired format:
Code: Private Sub txtInv_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean) If txtInv.Value = vbNullString Then Exit Sub If (Not UCase(Me.txtInv.Value) Like "ST###") And (Not UCase(Me.txtInv.Value) Like "ST####") Then MsgBox "Non Valid Invoice Number.” Cancel = True End If End Sub
And this code is pasted lower down the VB editor window. And it seems to be working fine!
For the checking to ensure that the invoice number being typed into the textbox has not already been used, I use the following two codes combined together:
a) to check for invoice No.:
Code: check for Invoice Number
If Trim(Me.txtInv.Value) = "" Then Me.txtInv.SetFocus MsgBox "Please Enter Invoice No." Exit Sub End If
b) And to it I add the following additional code for CHECKING that the no. does not already exist in the database (the invoice nos are located in Column A of the database):
Code: Dim x X= Application.Match(Me.txtInv.Value, Columns(1),0) If Not IsError(x) Then MsgBox Me.txtInv.Value & "Invoice Number Is Already Used" Me.txtInv.SetFocus Cancel = True Exit Sub End If
My problem with the second set of codes in (a) & (b) (for the Checking of already existing No.) is that the code allows the user to key in the Invoice No. and go through filling in the other textboxes. It is only after clicking the ‘Add’ button that a msgbox comes up to indicate that the ‘invoice no. is already used’.
I need a tweaking of the codes so that the moment an invoice no. that has already been used is typed into the textbox and the TAB button pressed, a msgbox will show up at that stage to indicate that the ‘Invoice no. is already used’. This will reduce time and avoid filling in the other textboxes and clicking the ‘Add’ button before the checking is done.
I need a vba code to run a macro when a specific word entered in a cell. i.e. when a word "Duplicate" entered in a cell O2, the macro run automatically.
I have some code that will Kill a DB if it already exists, but I want to check if it exists and warn the user before this happens.
I am not that familiar with ADO, so I was fumbling through the Help topics trying to learn about ADO type names, etc. b/c i thought I could use something like:
If TypeName(MyDB) = "ADODB" Then . . .
but even if that ran, the argument in parentheses would be a string and not the actual DB object, so I am at a loss.
I want Excel VBA to check for named worksheets. Based on the return, I will have VBA either (1) delete the named worksheets and replace them or (2) refresh the pivot tables on the named worksheet. how to make VBA check for the presence of the named worksheets. My efforts are below and comments at the end of the Sub detail what I want to have happen.
Sub EnterProgram() Dim Current_P As String, New_P As String Current_P = Range("data!C2") If Current_P = "" Then New_P = InputBox("Which program?") Do While New_P = "" Prog = InputBox("Try again...
