Combo Box Macro In Worksheet Doesn't Run Automatically
I have a combo box in a worksheet with a macro written for it that works fine but when I open the worksheet it doesn't run automatically, I have to find the macro and tell it to run.
How can I get it to run as soon as the worksheet is opened
Here is the code for the macro
Private Sub combobox()
ComboBox1.clear
ComboBox1.AddItem "Mit Rekuperator"
ComboBox1.AddItem "Ohne Rekuperator"
End Sub
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
Run "PinchInternHeatExchanger"
Select Case ComboBox1.Text
Case "Mit Rekuperator"
ActiveSheet.Range("I62") = Worksheets("uorc").Range("L99")
Case "Ohne Rekuperator"
ActiveSheet.Range("I62") = Worksheets("uorc").Range("E11")
End Select
Run "PinchPoint"
End Sub

Using Combo Box To Run Macro
I am trying to set up a combo box in my workbook so that when the item is selected from the list a particular macro will run according to the selection. I tried with the following codes but wonder why it is not executing when running the macro. Option Explicit Sub COUNTRYCURR2() Dim shtInv As Worksheet Dim shtT_Country As Worksheet Dim Row As Long Dim Row2 As Long Dim lngEndRowInv As Long Dim lngT_Country As Long Set shtInv = Sheets("Inventory") Set shtT_Country = Sheets("T_Country") lngEndRowInv = shtInv. Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row lngT_Country = shtT_Country.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row shtInv.Cells(1, 19).Value = "Country Code" shtInv.Cells(1, 20).Value = "Currency Code".................

Bug - Macro Crashes When Run, Doesn't Crash If Save First
I'm just wondering if any of you can lend some help on a bug i'm encountering. When I press a button on my worksheet to call a macro that brings up a userform, the excel will crash, and give that "do you want to report this error", close down excel, and reopen on a blank worksheet. Strange thing is, this error is avoided if I save the workbook upon opening it, and then call that macro. The workbook does not read data from external sources, so i dont think is that problem. Has anyone encountered this?

Workbook_Open Doesn't Run On Second Open
I have noticed this on more than one workbook with an Workbook_Open macro. When you open Excel, open Workbook1, do some work , save or don't save and close, then reOpen Workbook1 without having closed the Excel application, the Workbook_Open macro in Workbook1 doesn't run. Closing Excel and reopening Workbook1 initiates the Workbook_Open macro. It's as if Excel remembers having previously opened Workbook1 and so it doesn't rerun the Workbook_Open macro the next time you open it.

Doesn't Work If The Worksheet Hasn't Been Saved Yet
I'm trying to simplify a formula that I'm using in a spreadsheet that's being used mostly in Excel 2000. 2 reasons I'm doing this: 1) It doesn't work if the worksheet hasn't been saved yet. 2) It's ugly =DATE(YEAR(DATEVALUE(MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,3) & " 20" & MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+5,2))),MONTH(DATEVALUE(MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,3) & " 20" & MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+5,2)))+1,0) The formula returns the last day of the month of the name of the sheet. For example, if the sheet is names "Mar 07", it returns 3/31/07. (yeah, when the 2100 issue becomes a big deal, I'm not going to be ready but I have 92 years to think about it) Even if I can't make it prettier, does anyone have a way to get the sheet name into a formula without VBA Code in a file that hasn't been saved.

Sub To Be Run ONLY When A User Changes A Selection In The Combo Box
I want is to happen is that depending on which option a user selects from the drop down box (a total of 10 options), a select number of rows and columns should be hidden/visible (as you'll see from the below code..) The other issue I'm having is that with the below code, the workbook seems to be very "busy" constantly calculating something or the other. I need the Sub to be run ONLY when a user changes a selection in the combo box, but it appears that every few seconds the workbook will be calculating something. Finally, I introduced the GoTo Endo line after every option (1 to 10) to try and speed up the Sub when a user makes a selection, but this appears to make no differnce - it still takes forever to run the Sub.

Name A Combo Box From The Form's Toolbar
Is there a way to name a combo box from the form's toolbar? I know you can give a name a combo box from the activex control toolbar but I am puzzled with the attached spreadsheet. The code is referencing a name "Combo Box 2" and I am wondering how they assigned a name to a combo box from the forms toolbar. See attached file for more detail.

Combo Box Additem - Run-time Error - Invalid Argument
I've written an Excel (using 2007, compatibility mode to 2003) app for our stock control. Basically it's a protected stock sheet which the user adds/removes stock via a form. When the user runs the form the following code loops through the stock list header adding item names to a combo box. Problem is I get a run-time error if there's more than 60+ items but while the error always occurs, it happens at different places in additems. Run-time error '-2147024809 (80070057) Invalid argument. In the code I've allowed a loop to 1000 items but in reality they'll be no more than 150.

Scroll Down/Across Worksheet Doesn't Move
I have two basic questions regarding the Excel program/UI I'm currently using Excel 2000, One annoying thing I find with this version is the way the screen doesn't follow along with my scrolling. ie: when I use the vertical scroll bar on the main window, it only updates once I release... not like a typical window which follows the movements of the scroll curser. Is this typical for later versions? I would update this program just for this feature alone! Also, a final question.... Does anyone know if there are any plans to update the handheld (pocket pc) version of Excel? The factory installed program is incredibly limited.

Create Worksheet If It Doesn't Exist
I need to create a worksheet and then populate it with header row containing columns names, and with values starting at row2. Before I do all this I wanted to first create a spreadsheet, I was successful in getting this done by getting a piece of code from this website. But, what if spreadsheet already exists from a previous run, then, in that case I want to clear the contents. Before I get too far ahead, I am unable to escape runtime error 9, array subscript out of range whenever I use any sort of code to check if the sheet exists. Also, my attempts to circumvent this error by putting in errorhandling is ignored, i.e. I get the standard run-time error message box, but, not what I want the code to do is such an error occurs. Function wsExists(wksName As String) As Boolean On Error Resume Next wsExists = CBool(Len(Worksheets(wksName).Name) > 0)End Function Private Sub Cmbsummary_Click() On Error Goto ErrHandler: 'Worksheets("MySheet").Activate Worksheets.Add(After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = "MySheet" Exit Sub

Populate A Second Combo Box Based Off The First One's Current Value
I have a list of insurance companies as column headers (B1:U1) and a list of what types of insurance they sell as row headers (A2:A6). Within the table, there is a "O" if they sell that type of insurance, and blank if they do not sell the insurance. My first combo box is the list of insurance companies. I want my second combo box to be populated with only the types of insurance that particular company sells.

Combo Box Event Fires When It Shouldn't
I have a combo box that insert certain information in the row corresponding to the active cell. Apparently the events that trigger the code are generated by the combo box ( change or on click) but pressing any key also triggers the events of the combo box.(this is undesirable) The following code is excuted even when any key is pressed. Any suggestions on how I can go around this problem? (get this code executed ONLY when a combo box event is triggered) Private Sub cmbLinkInfo_Click() 'The record is inserted only if the user is inside certain range 'The range is inside the affected links table and between the columns C and F If (ActiveCell.Row > 25) And _ (ActiveCell.Column > 2) And _ (ActiveCell.Column < 7) Then '< Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 3).Value = cmbLinkInfo.List(cmbLinkInfo.ListIndex, 0) Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 4).Value = cmbLinkInfo.List(cmbLinkInfo.ListIndex, 1) Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 5).Value = cmbLinkInfo.List(cmbLinkInfo.ListIndex, 2) Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 6).Value = cmbLinkInfo.List(cmbLinkInfo.ListIndex, 3) '> End If End Sub

Allow Sorting: Protected Worksheet Doesn't Allow A Sort
I have a column containing 365 entries, one for each day of the year. This I intend to send out to Army bands, to have them fill in their forecast of engagements. I do not want them to be able to amend the original diary, but to scroll to the bottom of the list, add a new entry with the applicable date and then be able to 'sort' back to chronological order. This would then allow a separate entry for every engagement to allow me to interrogate the spreadsheet. As I have protected the sheet, the 'sort' facility does not function even though when protecting I ticked the box to allow users to 'sort'.

Combo Box On Protected Worksheet
I've built a workbook using Excel 2000 that uses several combo boxes. When I try to protect the workbook the combo boxes become locked, even when I have done FORMAT CONTROL / PROTECTION and unticked the LOCKED box. Is this normal?. I also have data validation cells and they work fine if I unlock them and Protect the workbook. As a result, I am thinking of converting the combo boxes to data validation cells, but should I even need to do this

2003 Data Validation Doesn't Trigger Worksheet Change
I have a bit of code that calls a formatting sub depending on which cell is modified. It is triggered by the Worksheet_Change event, determines which cell is modified, and either calls the formatting sub or doesn't based on the location of the modified cell. Some of the columns in the sheet have data validation with drop downs. If I select a value from the drop down, it doesn't trigger the Worksheet_Change. If I type a value into the same cell, it does. This was apparently an issue in Excel '97, but supposedly fixed in '03?

UDF Working When Called From Sub, Doesn't Work As Worksheet Function
I have written a user-defined function that searches for a small range within a larger range. The function requires two input parameters: the range you are looking for, and the range you want to look within. For example, I might look for the string of values in cells A1:D1 in a larger range E1:H20. The function returns the row number in the larger range where the smaller range is found. My problem is this: The function is working fine when I call it from another sub procedure. However, when I try to run it as a worksheet function, I get a "#VALUE!" error. The function pops up in the "insert function" menu, and it prompts for the two input parameters.

Every sheet presents a sample reprot supplied by my client, the 3rd row in every sheet holds the report's title, (actually, not the whole 3rd row is merged, only specific range of cells are merged and this range is different among the sheets, e.g.: In the first sheet, the cells B3:M3 are merged to hold the title where in the second sheet , the cells B3:N3 are merged) Now i need to copy all these titles to a separate sheet, if I have to un- merge the cells or re-merge the whole row, I will not mind, espically if I will get a quiker solution since i also have another 3 similar workbooks.

Filling A Combo Box With Data From A Worksheet
I'm attempting to make a simple userform that inputs data onto an existing worksheet. I have the userform but would like to use a combo box to choose a "category" item of data, however I dont know what the categories are! I would like the combo box to, somehow, look at the spreadsheet and read off the already entered categories and offer those as choices. A picture is worth a thousand words: http://www.copestake.org/images/excel.png Is there a simple way to fill the combo box (using the form initialize I assume) with the existing categories?

Macro Doesn't Work On Button, But Fine From Macro Menu!
I've recorded a macro that copies an entire tab into a new spreadsheet then goes on the copy and paste information from one tab to another. When I run the macro from the Tools>Macros menu it works perfectly. But when I copy the code and add it to that of a button it fails and posts the following error: Run-time error '1001': Select method of Range class failed. The first attachement shows the code for the macro as it is alone, and the second shows how I simply copied and pasted it into the 'view code' window of the button. Needless to say I'm a beginner at macros and only every record them, I can usually make stuff work that way but this has me stumped!

User Form - Delete Row On Worksheet Via Combo Box?
I am trying to figure out how to delete a row on a worksheet via a VBA User Form. I currently have a User Form with a Combo Box that is populated by cells in a named range ("PickCategory...") on a worksheet... I am populating thsi box using this Private Sub UserForm_Activate() ComboBox1.List = Worksheets("data").Range("PickCategory...").Value End Sub First off, I want to include a lable that will display the contents of the cell to the right of the currently selected entry of the combobox on a label (or textbox). So, whatever entry you select in the combo box, the corredponding value (to the right of it on the worksheet) will appear in the text/label box. Is there something similar to the VLOOKUP that will work in VBA? Also, what I want to be able to do is to allow the user to select one of the entries from the combo box (which is already working) and then be able to delete the row of that entry on the worksheet. So, the user selects an entry from the combo box and then clicks a "Delete" command button to delete the row of that entry on the worksheet...

Script Works In Debugger But Doesn't When Macro Runs
I am trying to do a very simple Macro for merging data. My problem is that the macro works when I am stepping through in debugger, but does not work when I am in excel and I use the shortcut key (crtl + m) to run the macro. What happens when it doesn't work properly is it selects rows 2 and 3 and tries to paste them to the new workbook and I get an error saying the cells are not the correct type. I don't want it to do this because rows 2 and 3 are titles and have nothing to do with the data I am moving. As I said before, when I open VBE and step through the code it works just fine. The error only happens when there is no data on the initial work sheet.

This named range is set using the OFFSET function. The procedure also sets the left footer to be a copyright notice that is also contained in a cell referenced by a named range. Set oPrintArea = Range(sPrintAreaName) is generating the error "Methd 'Range' of object '_Global' failed". Note that the line Set oCopyrightNotice = Range("CopyrightNotice") does not generate this error.
