Code Opens Files As Read Only

Apr 19, 2007

why the below code opens files as read only? What this code does is open all worksheets, in four different folders, whose filenames include the desired date. For example, if i want all worksheets for the 19th, then K117819, k127819, k217819 and K226119 all open. Except they open as read-only which requires saving to a different location and then renaming - which sort of defeats the time saving reason for running the code in the first place.

Public Sub Auto_Open()
Dim sCurFile As String
Dim sPath As String
Dim mpath As String
MsgBox "This tool will print all four production lines line report total sheet for any month and day in 2007"
mpath = InputBox("Enter the month i.e. 01 for January", "print")
fpath = InputBox("Enter day of the month to print (use leading 0's)?", "print")
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.AskToUpdateLinks = False
'Get the path
sPath = "t:2007" & mpath & "k11"...............

Files Saved To Program Files Folder, Open As Read Only

Feb 8, 2009

I have an Excel application (Excel 2003) which is stored in the default Program Files folder by the Installer; for example: c:program fileszxchello.xls. The problem I am running into is this file opens as Read Only in Vista and this is interfering with the running of the application. There is no problem opening the file normally in Windows XP.

I have been able to narrow down the cause of this to the User Account Control system in Vista - if I turn OFF User Account Control, the Excel file opens normally and my application functions normally. Is there another option to open the Excel file without turning OFF User Account Control because some users may find it unacceptable to turn OFF this security feature. Ofcourse, one option is to install the application in another location, outside the Program Folder, and the file would open normally, but the Packaging Wizard that I am using to package the application does not allow me to install the application in any other location and thus, the application installs in the Program Folder and I am running into this problem of the Exel file opening as Read Only. Is there a way out of this situation where I can open the file normally (not as Read Only)?

VBA Code Opens File In Compatibility Mode?

Jan 3, 2013

I have written a macro to loop through files and subfolders to open a specific file for a specific month. I extract the datasets for every excel file into a master template. The code works flawlessly when all of the files have the .xlsm extension. However, I need to open .xls file formats also. When my code opens the first .xls file, named "Staffing Plan.xls" it opens it and automatically makes it "Staffing Plan1 [Compatibility Mode]. I can't open the file in the original "Staffing Plan.xls" file format to read data from. How can I fix this?

Macro To Access And Read Data From HDF Files?

Feb 16, 2013

Does Excel can be used to read data from HDF files? Specifically, what I would like to do is this: I have an Excel worksheet with some latitude data on Column A and longitude data on Column B. I would like to open a HDF file, which contains many sets of data, out of which 2 are the latitude/longitude data, and a third set contains the data that I want to extract. I will use the latitude data in Column A to search through the first set in the HDF, which will return me the row number. I will then use the longitude data in Column B to search through the second set to return the column number. With these row and column numbers, I will then extract the corresponding data in the third set, and write it to Column C in the worksheet.

how to write a simple VBA code for it? Or point me to some relevant information?

Read And Import Multiple Text Files Into Excel And Parse Data?

Mar 27, 2014

I am trying to determine a way to quickly import data from text files into Excel and place data in suitable columns (under correct headings). I am thinking I could be asked which file to read and import doing them 1 by 1, or if there is an automated way to cycle through all the files that would be more efficient (filenames are variable).

From the text files I have attached I can tell the column headers and what data should go under each. Not sure how you would describe the delimiting on these files? Are these files in a format that VBA could be used to reduce manual copy and paste approach? I have about 300 of these files I want to extract the data from.

Note: the attached files are from a public access website.

Read The 1st Character In The Hex Code

Dec 8, 2008

I have a set of Hex Code a total of 4 Sets :

A4EC 9ACF 4A02 044E

1. What i need to do is Read the 1st Character in the Hex Code which say A now.

2. Now I need to find if there is another A in this Hex Code. If yes - e.g
A4EC 9A - I need to find the difference between A-A. How many characters are in between the 2 A-A. So for this I have A 4EC9 A so the difference is 4.
2.1 - Another Senario of "A" - A 4EC9ACF4 A the difference is 8 characters

3. Next we will move on to the next Letter which is 4 and do our search.

The key is i only want to record those Hex code which have a difference of 4,8,10,12 differences.

So for that above example I should be able to record the following :

A 4EC9 A == 4 letter difference
4 A020 4 == 4 letter difference
A 4EC9ACF4 A == 8 letter difference
4 EC9ACF4A020 4 == 10 letter difference
E C9ACF4A02044 E == 12 letter difference

Macro Code - Open As Read Only

Jan 21, 2009

below code

Sub Collect_OS_Data()
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
Dim fso As Object, fld As Object, fil As Object, fldPath As String, wbSrc As Workbook, wbCur As Workbook
fldPath = "Q:PublicPAYMENTS Q&RREPORTSSuspense Activity BUSINESSOngoing - Suspense BUSINESS - Activity Reports"
Set wbCur = ActiveWorkbook
ActiveSheet.Name = "Raw Data"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fld = fso.getfolder(fldPath)
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
For Each fil In fld.Files

This opens all spreadsheets within a folder and takes the data i require out of each one and pastes to a new workbook, however the files are password protected. Can you add into the code to open each spreadsheet as a readonly copy and paste data and then close without a save prompt or denying the save prompt ?

Code To Open A Read Only .xl File

Jan 11, 2007

I have a read only excel file which I want to interrogate in another report.

I'm writing some code to open the file but I'm not sure how to get past the password/read-only prompt when opening the file.

My code is:

Workbooks.Open Filename:= "C:Sales2006.xls"

I assume it's possible to write some code to get past the prompt. I have checked the help files which do seem to indicate it's possible to specify a read only property but it doesn't say how.

Only Execute Code On A Write-access Basis, Not Read-only

Jul 6, 2009

I have recently used a before_close event on this workbook to save a backup of the open file to another location on my system. This works fine but I was wondering if there was some more code I could add to only execute this event on a write access basis.

The file I use can be viewed by anyone on the network as read-only and only certain users with a password can edit/update with a write access password.

The backup event is use executes every time the document is closed be it read-only or write-access.

Ideally I would like to add some code to only execute this backup if the file is opened on a write-access basis.

File May Be Read-Only, Or You May Be Trying To Access A Read-Only Location

Jan 4, 2007

I'm trying to open a file on a network drive...but I'm getting the following error message when it opens: "This file may be read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only location. Or the server the document is stored on may not be responding." Now, the file itself has no rights restrictions and is not read only. It doesn't appear to be locked.

Now, there are other Excel files in the same directory which I could open fine; however, the Excel documents having the above problem all have a little black icon "appears to be a padlock" (image attached) at the bottom left hand side of the Excel file icon. I tried the following:

- Renaming
- Converting to a different file format (didn't work, it won't let me)
- Opening in notepad...etc doesn't work.

This file is dated back in 2004...do you think it's corrupt? Is there anything i can do to open or recover this?

Code For Searching Different Sized Files

Aug 29, 2012

I have a macro that checks data in a worksheet and manipulates the data.

the problem that I am finding is that the worksheet data, which is copied from another file, is different sizes - eg: in one file the data may be from a1 to f2890 but another file the data may be from a1 to f5990.

When the file is bigger I have noted that the macro does not check the rows between 2890 to 5990.

How can i get it do check all the cells no matter how big the file is?
