Clearing All Tabs - Editing Locked?
Mar 20, 2013
I have an application that I made for a company. the editing is locked on each tab except for the blanks for people to either check mark a box or fill in the space provided for an answer to each question. There are around 30 tabs. Sometimes i open already completed applications since most of the answerer will be the same. My question is. is there a way to select say 6 tabs and clear out all the data that someone had typed in (check marks, answers in space provided?)

I recently added two excel files to my startup, I receive the file in use error that the personal.xls is locked for editing box when the second file starts to execute. I can open them separately using their icons with no problem, what's the problem with opening them using the startup function. XP professional version 2002 SP2.

I have a simple macro that's in my default Excel startup file (Personal.xlsb - located in the folder C:Documents and SettingsUsernameApplication DataMicrosoftExcelXLSTART).
The problem is when I try to open two instances of Excel (not create a new workbook). I get the error message "Personal.XLSB is locked for editing."
I've look at other threads that talk about adding the macro as an "Add-In" (Personal.xlsb and multiple Excel's), BUT my problem is that I want to assign the macro a keyboard shoutcut (currently set to ctrl + shift + v).
I don't know of a way to assign an add-in macro a keyboard shortcut.

I am getting a message, the Excel file i am opening (xlsm) is locked for editing by 'another user'. But, NOT SO, of course; i am the only user logged in to this PC, and there is no network access. I quit Excel and verified that i see no Excel processes running. But, when i try to open the file, i still get the "locked by 'another user'" message, and at this point can only open read-only. I looked in the folder the file is in and do not see any of those ~ files or anything else suspicious.
So, what do i do? How do i "unlock"? How can i open this file once again to make modifications to it?

1.I need to protect certain locked cells from editing and allow certain unlocked cells to be changed on multiple worksheets.
2.When all of the changes are made to the unlocked cells, I need to password protect the entire workbook (except one worksheet) from any changes. (i.e. Prevent even the unlocked cells from being edited)
3.I also need a password to un-protect the workbook and return it to the state described in # 1. above .

I have been trying to get Excel (2007) to change the colour of tabs to match other tabs in the workbook
Using this code I get the colour code of the current tab
Code:
x = ActiveSheet.Tab.ColorIndex
But when I use this value in a procedure like this:
Code:
ActiveSheet.Tab.ColorIndex = x
The tab is a different colour!

I have a summary page that includes the titles for each tab within the excel 2003 workbook. I want to use the names of the tabs in the summary page and create it into a formula to lookup fixed cells within the various tabs. Sorry for not uploading an excel doc but I was at work earlier and the thread did not load for some reason, so I am reposting it.

I am running into trouble with too much data accumulating on the clipboard in XL2007, so is there any way to set cutcopymode=false (or some other function) so that the clipboard is automatically cleared after every paste event throuout a macro project without having to restate cutcopymode=false after every paste?

I have a UserForm called Menu. The first line of code behind the OK button says
Menu.Hide
When I run this using F8, it behaves itself and the menu disappears after the code line Menu.Hide. When I click the OK button to run it normally the menu stays on the screen partially hidden behind the next sub menu.

I have 4 listboxs on a Userform populated by rowsource
I have code that will not allow conflicting selections of the list boxs
EG listbox1 conflicts with listbox3
listbox2 conflicts with listbox4
What I am trying to do is when the user clicks on listbox1 and listbox3
I clear the selections from 1 and 3 leaving no highlted blue in the boxs
My code runs it clears the first listbox and not the second
I have tried using boolean to clear them but it is the same thing
here is my code below
If shOptions.Cells(r, c) = "" Then
MsgBox "You have selected conflicting Alterations"
UserForm1.Controls(h.Name).ListIndex = -1 *this works
UserForm1.Controls(lb.Name).ListIndex = -1 * this does not fire
Exit Sub
End If
If I change the code to
UserForm1.Controls(lb.Name).ListIndex = -1 * this works
UserForm1.Controls(h.Name).ListIndex = -1 *this does not

I have two linked ComboBoxes on a form. There are 10 Textboxes populated by ComboBox2’s choice. These controls are situated on two frame controls which are used for visual groupings only. I would like to clear everything except Combo1 when Combo1’s value is changed. ( Combo1 is a filtered key list using the dictionary. Script code)
I’ve written a small sub that is called to clear the textboxes, but its not reliable every time. It seems that if the scroll bar is used, and the user chooses Combo1 choice “NUTS/SEEDS”, the boxes aren’t cleared. In fact it will show the “Walnuts” info in Combo2.

I have a file with Workbook Activate/Deactivate and Worksheet Activate/Deactivate commands in it. When someone is trying to copy information from or to this workbook the VB automatically clears the clipboard (or at least that's how I understand it), which makes it so they can't paste that data anywhere else. How can I prevent this, but still keep my current commands?

I have a spreadsheet that has I have protected. On this sheet I have a button labeled Reset Form. When you click the button it it goes to each Unprotected Cell and deltes the contents. I created this by starting the macro and then tabbing to each and every cell and deleteing the contents I then ended the macro...
Is there a code that I can use for to clear all unprotected cells as opposed to creating the macro manually?

I wrote a little program to highlight the cell that the cursor is currently selecting. The code is in Workbook_SheetSelectionChange. Everything works great, except that the paste buffer now clears itself so I cannot use paste/cut.

regarding listboxes within user forms.
1) I need to capture the amount of selections (regardless of what they are) that were made by the user within the listbox. How can I do this?
2) I want the user to be able to use the form continuously, there I have created a command button to clear the options. I am able to clear the options for the rest of the inputs but not the listbox.

I have 50 check boxes not on a user form, but on spreadsheet. I attached a button that says "Clear All" (meaning 'clear all checkboxes'). I can write a sub smth like
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
CheckBox1.Value = False
CheckBox2.Value = False
End Sub
... and so on for all 50 check boxes. Any simpler way to do this in a loop? Smth like
For i=1 To 50
Checkbox............ .Value=False
Next i
I just cannot figure out the syntax.

My computer runs on Excel 2003 but my Laptop is on Excel 2000, the problem is I have the below code on a spreadsheet I wrote on my Computer which runs fine but when I open it on my Laptop it comes up with a run time error it doesn’t like the clear contents line. If some one could explain to me why it is happening and how to get round the problem so it will work in Excel 2003 and 2000.

My workbook has much copy and past from one sheet to another after a web query, eventually it freezes.
I suspected all along it had something to do with the Copy/Paste and the clipboard required to be absoultely emptied.
The code I used to "clear the clipboard" is:
Declare Function CloseClipboard Lib "user32" () As Long
Declare Function EmptyClipboard Lib "user32" () As Long
Declare Function OpenClipboard Lib "user32" (ByVal Hwnd As Long) As Long
Sub ClearClipboard()
OpenClipboard 0&
EmptyClipboard
CloseClipboard
End Sub
But when I checked out some freeware in relation to clipboard viewers etc, it seems after running this code it does not absolutely empty the clipboard.
How can I empty the clipboard entirely or am I not constructing my work correctly ?

I am trying to clear the contents of cells in a very large spread sheet containing certain words. I am running the following macro and it will only do the first part, so it will clear cells containing "deceased" but stops at "esa". There may be any number of other words or text in the cell and I want it to delete cells with "esa" by itself so for ex. not delete cell containing "vanesa". I am very amateur so I am sure this is something simple but I cannot find the answer or figure it out for myself.
Sub DeleteAll()
Dim lCount As Long
Dim rFoundCell As Range
Dim rLookRange As Range
Set rFoundCell = Range("A1")
Set rLookRange = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
For lCount = 1 To WorksheetFunction. CountIf(rLookRange, "*deceased")
Set rFoundCell = rLookRange.Find(What:="deceased", After:=rFoundCell, _
LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False)
rFoundCell.ClearContents.......................
