Application starts with a button on an otherwise empty spreadsheet. Then opens a user form. After I close using a button on the form. My close routine closes the worksheets and workbooks. I then quit the application and I get a message asking if I want save the original spreadsheet.
When a user X's (clicks of the X in the titlebar) of a user form, I want to save whatever input has been made to that point and close the application. this is what I tried but it neither saved input nor closed the application
I didn't receive a response to a previous post where I was trying to use a batch file to close and open a workbook at a scheduled time everyday. I was thinking about this problem over the weekend, and thought that it would probably be easier to just use a macro to close the file at a certain time everyday (if it is open) and then use a batch file to open the file a couple of minutes later.
I'm having problems with what I thought should be pretty simple though. I tried this to close the file at 5:15pm
I have a macro that auto opens does a couple of open and saves but then the Application.Close doesn't want to close the blank Excel screen. Can't you use Application Close in a Auto_Open macro?
Sub Auto_Open() ' ' Auto_Open Macro ' Macro recorded 1/27/2006 by Rich ' ' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+c ' Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Each of the worksheets in my model use A1 as a control cell for any errors and inconsistencies. My aim is to disable save and close commands in case A1 is not equal to 0 in any of the worksheets.
The code I currently use for that purpose is as follows.
I am using Windows 7 and have a piece of code that brings up a warning message after 20 minutes to warn the user they have been in a workbook for too long.
If they have the Excel application window minimized, is there a way to get Excel to take the application out of minimized mode into max screen, before revealing the message.
Currently when the warning message activates, the excel icon just flashes in the start bar. Some users may not see this.
Here is the code I have so far:
[Code] ....
I have already tried simply adding a piece of code with maximize screen, however this doesn't seem to work.
When processing workbooks via VBA, on closing the workbook I sometimes get a request to respond to whether I want to save the clipboard. In the same way that there is the option to open a workbook without refreshing links: workbooks.open updatelinks:=False
I assume there is something on the order of: workbook.close DontSaveClipboard:=True
Question #1 is: What is the parameter syntax for saving or not saving the clipboard?
Question #2 is: Where would I go to look up these parameter settings instead of having to come back to the group every time I find the next one I need?
I am trying to write VB code that upon opening an excel spreadsheet a message box appears that the user must read, than select yes or no. If select yes than the file will open, if no the file closes or does not open. Here is what i have tried - it doesn't work.
Sub Auto_Open() YesNo = ("Are you sure you want to open?",vbYesNo + vbExclamation,"Will") If_vbYes Exit_Sub If_vbNo_Close End Sub
I have a spreadsheet with a number of fields on it which must be filled in before the file can be saved, and if the user attempts to close the spreadsheet without filling in the required fields, I want a message box to appear asking for confirmation that the user wishes to quit, if yes, the sheet exits, if no, the sheet remains open
how do i go about setting a message box to pop up every 10 mins or so prompting the user to close the workbook.? i want it to be as irritating as possible! iv'e had a look at ontime but cant get my brain into gear!also don't some of these timers fire even if workbook closed?
I know how to add a save and close button but i do not know how to make it instantly available in every new workbook that i open. Currently i click the button and it looks for the macro in the first excel book that i created it in.
how do i make that macro become a default in every workbook?
One of my computers pulls info from my cash register once everyday (sales info). Then I have a excel monthly sales sheet that pulls the info from the register info and puts it in the right places. So the computer pulls the register info at 9:20pm everyday, then I have my task manager open excel at 9:25 everyday and it has a workbook open macro to automatically pull the info into the excel spreadsheet. Here's my problem-- I need to close it.
I'm sure I could use a workbook close macro, but when it tries to close it won't it come up with a save, don't save, cancel prompt? Nobody will be there to hit SAVE so it won't close? Is there just a macro that could save it then close it?
I have a macro that has to open another worksheet and get data and close the sheet. The problem is when the sheet closes after I have gotten the data it asks if I want to save it. I don't want the user of my macro to see this option because it slows things down. To avoid this in the past I had the worksheet save itself so that it wouldn't ask me to save. Now the worksheet is large and it takes a while to save and it is getting slow. Is there any way not to save it but close it without having excel asking if you want to save it?
I need to use the BeforeClose event to save the workbook with the same name when a user closes it. (82 users and they all seem to want to give it their own name.) I have the following code in the BeforeClose event but would like to eliminate the prompt "this file already exists, do you want to replace it" I have tried using the Application.DisplayAlerts = False but this seems to stop the workbook from saving. I have a public demention called wbName and is set to the workbook name in an outo open macro
Public wbName Public Sub auto_open() wbName = ActiveWorkbook.Name
UserForm2.Show MsgBox "PLEASE do Not insert rows/columns or enter calculations" _ & Chr(10) & " " _ & Chr(10) & "Enter Only Account Name, Date, and Corresponding_ Calls/Details", vbCritical, "Caution" End Sub
Is it possible to stop excel bringing up the save changes box? or replace it with my own custom box? ive tried this code, but it seems to run the userform twice#~?
When a supervisor goes into one of my sheets and adds some things in, she quite often forgot to share it again. To try and combat this I added the following code:-
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(cancel As Boolean) Dim myworkb As String myworkb: myworkb = ThisWorkbook. Name If myworkb = "SLE.MasterSheet.SLE1.xls" Then Call NoProtection ActiveWorkbook. SaveAs Filename:="SLE.Mastersheet.SLE1.xls", accessmode:=xlShared End If Call Limpa Run "DeleteMenu" End Sub
The code appears to do everything it should, and when I first ran it appeared to be ok. However, now it appears to save it as shared yet when you go back into the file it opens up as exclusive.... Is there a reason why the code wont "share" ?
I am trying to fix is that I have two computers networked together both with multiple users all with access to the report form that I am using which is in the shared file. If I have been working on it (I am still trying to do improvements when I have time), and I have to leave for a fire or forget to close the report, no one can access it other than with read-only.
My idea was to run some type of code that either when the screen saver comes on or after so much time with no activity, it would close and save the file with a new file name(just in case I don't want the changes that I have made in the code or something).
I call the macro below from a Workbook_BeforeClose sub; however, if the user has not saved changes before they hit the close then the Sub SaveFile runs and then after the backup save they are then asked do you want to save changes.
I initially had this sub run with Workbook_BeforeSave, but I don't really want to run this everytime the user selects save.
Any ideas on how to how the save changes first and then the backup?
