At the moment, there is no compile error or runtime error, but if I manually attempt to open the file (that was successfully read from), I get the message that the file is already open and is locked by myself (the user) and that multiple Excel processes are still running (I checked the task manager).
How do I close this Excel file (no changes to be made since I only read from the file) and quit Excel from running ?
Here is what I have at the moment :
Dim FirstName, Surname As String
'file path and name for the Excel file
Dim FileNamePath As String = "C:UsersMRCDesktopMRC FilesVisual Basic FilesSwimManager 2014CurrentSeasonDATASquadData.xls"
I was wondering if there is any code using an on-click method. When clicking a button i need excel to exit the file/sheet without saving (no prompts) and then re-open the exact same file/sheet once it has closed.
I want to delete some unwanted rows on closing my excel file. the blank rows are between set of datas. so it has to check all the blank rows, delete it until the last one. example
data blank rows data blank rows data blank rows data
The Macro asks the user to point at the location of a report, it then copies information out of that report and pastes it into a master sheet. The part I am having trouble with is closing the file that data has been copied from.
I'm making a workbook which I want to distribute widely. It will have a lot of changes to the menus which happen 'onOpen'.
I am keen to not spoil peoples special menu setups on closing the workbook.
If I understand correctly, on closing, Excel writes the current menu settings to the .xlb file. Does anyone know of a way to prevent it doing this so that peoples setups are left unchanged?
Presumably there is code that will do it but I've searched a long time and found nothing.
I close an existing excel file I need to automatically save it to another folder as the same name. I don't want any prompts or save as boxes to appear when this happens.
I need to do this as I use the file all the time, but need to save it on to a network where others can view it.
I am trying to fix the width of a column everytime I open it but I can't. After I have fixed the column width and saved it before I close the file, when i reopen it, the column width will expand. The data source of that column is a real time query. I tried to lock the cell but when i locked it, I can't refresh the data from the query as it is locked. So, is there any way for me to achieve that?
I have workbook that has questions on column K and L that NEED to be answered. When the user closes the spreadsheet I need the macro to create a pop up that says "unfinished Workbook"
So I need a macro that tells the user to finish answering the questions on K and L -
I recorded a Macro to open a workbook, copy and paste data from one excel workbook to another, and close the workbook which was opened. Everything works fine except:
because of the amount of data that I am copying, I get a message box saying "There is a large amount of information on the Clipboard. Do you want to be able to paste this information into another prgoram later?" with a Yes/No button.
So now I have to click the "No" button before my macro closes the excel file. Is there a simple line of code that will by-pass this?
I have code in VBA that takes a source Excel file and parses it to multiple re-formatted worksheets. Each formatted worksheet is different depending on a variable in the source. There are n of each type of data (1:n Water Sources, 1:n Water Treatment, 1:n Water Storage). Each item needs a copy of a blank re-formatted worksheet appended to the end of the existing data-type worksheet. For example: Water Source #2 is appended to the bottom of Water Source #1 on the same worksheet.
Currently, I am opening the blank re-formatted workbook each time an additional variable of same type is found in the source file. Meaning, if there are 8 Water Sources, I am opening and closing the blank re-formatted workbook 7 times to copy a blank Water Source to the bottom of the Water Source worksheet and then populate the data. AND if there are 3 Water Treatment, I would open and close the blank formatted workbook 2 more times to copy a blank Water Treatment to the bottom of the Water Treatment worksheet. The same goes for Water Treatment.
Obviously, a huge waste of resources and performance. I would rather open the blank re-formatted workbook once (first time an additional worksheet is needed), use the worksheets as needed, and close it at the end.
Attached is my current, working code of the above.
How should I re-write it to check if the blank workbook is already open use it, if not open it?
Code: Sub Add_Facility(ByVal Worksheet_Name, Copy_Range, Max_Limit) Dim Last_Row As Integer Dim Source_Range As Range Dim Dest_Range As Range Dim wkb As Workbook
In my spreadsheet, a series of macros calls an external program/application three times.
Each time the program finishes, it (and not Excel, as I formerly thought) opens a resource (*.res) file in Notepad, which of course goes into the taskbar. Since I need to run the spreadsheet seven or eight times in a row, the taskbar can get cluttered quickly.
The program opens three different instances of the same filename: iroutine.res.
Is there a way to get Excel to close these Notepad files (if it's simpler to do, it can kill all instances of Notepad) when it finishes running its routines?
I hate to have to come back to the forum after I Thanked you all for solving my problem, but here I am.
The code below disables the (X) button, no problems
Option Explicit Public BooleanForClosing As Boolean Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) If BooleanForClosing = False Then Cancel = True MsgBox "Please Use Exit Button" End If End Sub
The next code saves the workbook , but won't Quit the programme and goes back to the Exit Button ...
I have a userform which opens when the workbook opens. Ideally Id like to have the userform open without the workbook coming up and have the workbook close when you close the userform. If thats not doable then is there a way to just close the workbook when the userform is closed?
I was asked to create a userform for the use of our whole team which would enable them to select a name from a dropdown list and then it would display their business contact details in the rest of the form.
I'm running Office 2010 and Windows XP server/enterprise edition (not quite sure which). After some research I've managed to use VBA code to open the userform while hiding the workbook, then when the close button is clicked it closes the user form and it's associated workbook using the code below.
Code: ' ThisWorkbook module Private Sub Workbook_Open() Application.Visible = False UserForm1.Show End Sub 'UserForm module Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Unload UserForm1 ThisWorkbook.Close (False) End Sub
This works great when the excel file is accessed directly. However when the excel file is accessed via the link on my teams Sharepoint site it doesn't. When the Userform is closed the underlying workbook and data is then displayed which then has to be closed separately.
Excel will hang up as if it's gone into a continuous loop (Although no looping macros are active) when you open or close a user form. The task bar in Excel will flash Ready Calculate. Visual basic reports no code is running but excel either crashes or becomes very unresponsive. I have to exit and reopen excel in order to fix the problem . It also doesn't happen at any one specific point it can vary. I have various VLOOKUPs around the workbook and userforms display the correct information. I use the INDEX formula in the control source of textboxes. I also use the offset formula to make sure DTPICKER displays correctly.
I am using 'Option Explicit' at the start of all my code. I have tried a 3rd party code cleaner. No visual Basic references are MISSING
If input is entered into column C (range C2:C100), then row cells for columns D, E ,F, H or I must NOT be blank upon save. Could be that one or more of these row cells are left blank by mistake.
An error msg pops up upon attempting to save, stops the save and colors each cell yellow that needs info entered into.
VBA coding for automatically saving an excel file as another file using the current date as part of the file name together with "32ga" as a constant add-in. I also what this macro to run at a particular time of the day let say 00:20hrs. The excel file i want to save as is always open . It has data that changes every 24-hrs.
Is it possible to write vba code that will generate a text file with ALL changes that were made to an excel file. Ex. If Cell A17 = "Monday, June 4, 2012" and a user updates Cell A17 to "N/A", I would like to know what the value was before and after the udpate was made.
I have a workbook with many spreadsheet named Sheet1, Sheet2 and so on. Each sheet is filled completely upto 65536 rows. This data is being picked up from a CSV file. In this file there are sites with each site there is a assciated set of data. What happens is the data that extracts data does not differntiate between sites and when it reaches to the end of worksheet it splits the data into next sheet. So I am trying to create a macro to check each spreadsheet starting with the last sheet in the work book for example last sheet in the workbook is seven it should go to sheet6 and if there is a blank row after row 64000 it should cut all the rows and move them to sheet7. Then it should goto sheet5 and do the same and keep on doing it until it reaches sheet1.
A co-worker of mine is exporting files from Quickpen as excel files, but every time he names the files with any Uppercase letters in the files name, they are automatically changing to all lower case. Even when he tries to rename the files, they will not stay with any uppercase letters....I have searched all over and cannot find a solution. If he sends ME the file, I can open it in excel and save it with any cases.
I need a VB code to open excel files located in a path (fixed path) by providing a part of file name through a input box for ex: I have some files located in my local drive as below
I have a macro-enabled template file in Excel 2007. I would like the user to be unable to save in any format other than macro-enabled. They should be free to choose a path and filename, but not the file type.
I presume this means some VBA code in the before save event, but I don't know what.
I have a macro that takes a text file as input and produces an excel file as output. I want a macro to store the name of the text file in a variable (without its file extension).
