Code Running When Already Open But Not When Newly Opened
Feb 26, 2014
Two workbook, A & B. Code in B copies some data over to a sheet in workbook A.
It does this not problems if A has remained open, but if it has just been opened, I get a "subscript out of range" error at the "With Workbooks" line.
The bit in red is what I have recently added to allow workbook A to be closed unless needed. Since adding this, the debug error has emerged, even though there was no problem when workbook A remained permanently open.

I'm experimenting a bit with this code. The idea is the following:
I've got one spreadsheet (ThisWorkbook) were I define 5 names for 5 worksheets in all files of a specific folder (c: emp). I get stuck at this line: "wb.Sheet2.Name = myval2", since I'm for some reason not able to activate the newly opened workbook and change it's name....
Sub wd_testing()
Dim I As Long
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim firstrow As Long
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim cell As Object
Dim count As Integer
Dim myval2 As Variant
Dim myval3 As Variant
Dim myval4 As Variant
Dim myval5 As Variant
Dim myval6 As Variant
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
It's important to mention that there is no name conflict and the names work when entered manually.

I am having difficulties with my Worksheet_Activate() macro. It works great within workbook1 when it is only workbook1 open - but when I open another workbook2, the macro stills runs, presumably because Sheet1 of workbook1 is still activated as well as the newly activated sheet in workbook2.
Is there a way to ensure that only 1 worksheet of 1 workbook is activated at a time? Or that sheet1 of workbook1 is deactivated when workbook2 is opened/clicked on? I need my Worksheet_Deactivate macro to run to get rid of my Worksheet_Activate macro (which runs an application that resets the function of keyboards keys). Otherwise moving around workbook2 is a nightmare. When I navigate back to workbook1 while workbook2 is still open, I still want sheet1 of workbook1 to be activated and my macro to run .

I have 3 macros, 2 of them puts formulas in 2 separate cells and the other to turn off file save, file save as and the Save button. Everything was working fine until I password protected the project, now the macros quit loading. I can still run them manually and they work fine, they just don't run when the spreadsheet is loaded. (What I wanted to do was prevent users from seeing the formulas by saving the spreadsheet after the formula was put in the cell and also by looking at the macro). I've unpassword protected the project and took out the macro to prevent the Saves. What do I need to look at to get the macros to run when the spreadsheet is loaded?

I use the vba to open excel file. like workbooks.open filename:=abc.xlsm but I found that if the file is opened by other. Excel still open the file but it will not notify user that it is opened as read only.
Would you add more line to notify user if the file is opened by other?

I have 3 Work books - one (WB1) checks its version number against an online record and if they dont match it opens WB2 which then proceeds to download the updated version copy information from WB1 to its self which it then pastes into WB3
WB1 then gets deleted and WB3 Renamed to the old name of WB1
the issue i have is when i open WB2 using the button that also checks for updates on WB1.
WB2's code seems to just stop when it gets to the point of updating WB3 no error messages or nothing it just stops!
NewMasters(2).xls = WB1
Updater.xls = WB2
NewVersion.xls = WB3

Is it possible to check, with VBA code running some sort of "If" function in the background in an open workbook within which the VBA code is placed, whether a user is opening (or attempting to open) the VBA Editor? This should see any attempt being made, whether the user uses Tools>Macro>Visual Basic Editor, Alt + F11 or right clicking on the Excel icon top left to "View Code".

I have a workbook which should only be used between certain dates
In this example between 3rd March 2013 and the 1st March 2014
Would it be possible that if the user opens the workbook outside of this date range an error message could appear then the workbook would then close ?

I want the code to run when we open excel workbook "TEST" and it should open up all the workbooks one by one in the folder J:ABC and copy cells C2 and C4 values in the A and B columns of TEST workbook.
e.g There are 5 workbooks in the folder J:ABC so when the TEST workbook is opened then the code should run and open 1st workbook and copy values in cells C2 and C4 to it and close the workbook.
The code should run as below:
1st workbook:
C2 value will go in Test workbook B1
C4 value will go in Test workbook A1
Close 1st workbook
2nd workbook:
C2 value will go in Test workbook B2
C4 value will go in Test workbook A2
close 2nd workbook.
3rd workbook:
C2 value will go in Test workbook B3
C4 value will go in Test workbook A3
close 3rd workbook.
and so on It will be going to next rows in A and B columns.

I nedd to first log in and then specify the wanted time period ( i. e. week) before I extract the information. Is it possible to get the source code (as string) from the last focused IE-window.
The user is supposed to use output from xl to manually fill in new values on recently mentioned webpage.

I am dealing with several very large spreadsheets using VBA to do various things. I found that my code worked well, but was taking a long time to run. The biggest time consumer was my use of the AutoFilter features. I have since turned calculations to manual before my code runs and set it back to auto when my code is done running. What are the potential consequences of my turning calculations to manual and then back to auto?

I have several similar documents open. They each have a macro with the shortcut CTRL + SHFT + T. The problem is each macro is different for each book. When I am working on book X, I don't want macro from book Z to run, but it does.
I need all of them to be open.

I have a spreadsheet with multiple brands on it, and I've added an ActiveX listbox that allows you to select which brands you want to view (Brand A, Brand B, or "all brands"). It works great, however it appears that my macros are running on workbook open.
None of my macros (and there are several) have the "Workbook_Open" code in them, so I'm not sure what's going on?
It really doesn't do any harm, except that someone opening the workbook has to watch excel flash and blink and go through all of these steps/calculations evertime you open it.
I thought Excel might be treating the "workbook open" as me making a selection on one of my listboxes (even if it was already selected) and thus running that macro, but the same thing happens even if I save the workook to display a sheet that doesn't have a listbox.
ETA: From what I've read, activeX controls are always autoloaded when a workbook containing them opens. That's unfortunate. Am I out of luck here for a speedy workbook open?

This is bizarre - over the last year or so, on two machines (one Win98SE/Off2K, the other Win2KSP4/Off2K3), very occasionally a change I've made to Excel/VBA code has been ignored (eg to add a MSGBOX call) - even after I've restarted Excel. The workaround is to add a blank line and remove it again in the actual code module, but its both annoying and intriguing,

I have written some code intended to automatically clear a cell when data appears in it from an external source. In one spreadsheet, it seems to work exactly as expected, ie when the cell is polulated, it immediately clears the contents. In another spreadsheet, with exactly the same code, it will not automatically clear. If I put it in debug mode and step through it line by line, then it does do as expected but otherwise it won't.

I have used a code to find the character "-" and replace it with nothing ("") from several named worksheets across my workbook, which OzGrid helped me with before, and it worked fine. Now I've added the code into my module (at the bottom) it doesn't work. The rest of the code works fine, and it doesn't come up with any errors when I run it, but it just seems to ignore the 'find and replace' part of it.
Sub split1()
Dim fromSheet As Object
Set fromSheet = Worksheets(1)
Dim fromRow As Integer
Dim toRow As Integer
Dim lastRow As Integer
Dim errCount As Integer
Dim thisSectionName As String
Dim i As Integer ' loop counter
Dim rng As Range 'found range
Dim emptyCellAbove As Range
Dim rng1 As Range
Dim arng1 As String 'Address of 1st hit rng1
Dim ws(7) As String
Dim ii As Integer '2ND LOOP COUNTER
Dim iii As Integer '3rd Loop Counter

Attached is an example of the program. The purpose of this program is to allow someone with very little knowledge about the information to enter data. The first tab labeled "Instructions" is will have two macros assigned to the buttons at the bottom of the page. The first macro labeled "Move Data" will move data will clear data in the shaded cell on the "Entry Form" sheet and fill those cells in with '----. The second macro labeled "Generate and Save" will save a master copy of the program, save a historical copy of the program by date, and print/save a pdf copy of the "Reports" sheet.
Each one of the historical (the last 8 sheets of the program) sheet receives data from the "Entry Form" and then moves the data by date into the table for archiving purposes.
If you look at the code for the "Entry Form". I have a couple of subs. The first being Worksheet_change. the first section of this code is to force certain cells to be uppercase. This part of the code is working fine. The second part of the code is the Dim MyValues. This part is working fine also, but...
My issue is... When I run the move data macro from the "Instructions" sheet the Dim MyValues reads these as changes to the cells and wants to push the data to the historical sheets.
What I would like is an IF Statement above the Dim MyValues part of this code that stops the Dim MyValue part of the code running if those values are blank, 0, or have '---- entered into them.

I have placed the code I am using below. It takes values from a hidden sheet (PACTAct) and places them on a visible sheet (Email). The code moves between the two.
It works at the minute by unhiding the PACTAct sheet then at the end re-hiding it. However I don't want the user to see this sheet whilst the vba is running. Is there a way I can simply refer to the worksheet without unhiding it?

I have a macro, that basically runs a sub routine to count down say for example 1 min, at which time the workbook closes. However if the user opens one of the forms I would like to turn off the background timer macro. How can I do this with code? Is there code that does the opposite of 'application.run'?
