At Startup .xls Doesn't Open At Startup Any Longer- 2007
Apr 25, 2008I use Excel 2007 and I have an .xls that I've had set to auto-open at startup and has worked fine for months now. Alll of a sudden a couple days ago it stopped auto-opening, and I have to now manually open the .xls. I looved in the Advanced>At Startup setting and it's set to the correct folder. What other setting in Excel 2007 do I need to check that would be causing this startup problem?

View 4 Replies View RelatedStop Calculations Upon Startup
Nov 25, 2009when I powered up my workstation, the workbook has reverted back to calculating upon startup. I have provided a sanitized version of the workbook. I think the issue with the calculations during startup may not be apparent to you due to your inability to access the Access database this workbook extracts data from. I attached a test database which should hopefully work correctly with the workbook to demonstrate the calculation issue. Extract and save the test database in c:emp. That is where the workbook import queries will look for it.
The live workbook is much larger and on a remote server so the calculations take a lot longer than what you might see here.

Using VB To Press Certain Keys
Jan 15, 2009Is it possible to create a script that will allow mimic the keypress of a keyboard?
For example, if I press the windows key and R, windows will bring up the run box and then I can type in C:Windows and press enter and it will open C:Windows.
Is it possible to have Excel do this?
This would mean I create a macro that has keypresses programmed in so I can run a command prompt and enter some details there then copy the data and paste it into Excel.
Option To Not Run Macro On Startup With Timer
Apr 14, 2014I have a macro that runs when a spreadsheet is opened however i sometimes need it not to run. Rather then furiously hit escape i was hoping to get a dialog box that would prompt yes/no to run the macro and if an option was not chosen after a few second then to run the macro anyway (so basically only by clicking "no" would you stop the macro from running).
I found this code here that gives me the yes/no message box and the 5 second time-out to get rid of the message box, however if the message times out it doesn't run the macro. what i need to tweak to make it do so if no input comes from the user? [URL]

Add Personal Macro Workbook Upon Startup
Oct 7, 2007There are two macros that i'd liek to add to my personal macro workbook upon startup of excel.
i tried to do them without coding but it appears that some actual coding is necessary.
1) i'd like to be able to select any # of cells anywhere on the page and hit ctrl+shift + n and have all of those selected cells read #N/A (the forumula is =na() )
2) i'd like to be able to select any number of columns (i do finance/econ research so all data is in chronological order from 1960-present along the columns. i.e. each variable is a column vector.) and be able to hit ctrl+shift+b and have VBA make a chart in a new sheet with my default settings
i've tried to do these but recording the macro hard codes the select cells for 1) and always runs into weird problems for 2).

Unable To Get The Task Pane To Display On Startup
Oct 9, 2008I am working in Excel 2003 and have recently lost the Task Pane when I start Excel. The box in Tools Options to display the task pane is checked. I have modified the registry to include a DoNotDismissFileNewTaskPane value and have even added the following code to the Personal.xls file:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("Task Pane").Visible = True
End Sub
If I remove the On Error Resume Next line I get the following error:
Runtime error '-2147467259 (80004005)' Method 'Visible' of object 'commandBar' failed
I did add the Analysis Toolpak last week but am not sure that this had anything to do with it.
I can go into the View menu and show the Task Pane and do have the CTRL+F1 option to display it.
Minimise Workbook / Display Form On Startup
Apr 11, 2006i'm trying to put together a spreadsheet using excel 97 that uses forms for data input & display - the spreadsheet itself is used solely for data storage & no editing is done directly to ensure people aren't trying to mess about with the spreadsheet i thought it would be an idea to minimise excel when the spreadsheet is launched & have the forms pop up on screen instead. the problem i've got is getting the first form on screen whilst excel is minimised
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
frmSplash.Show
Application.WindowState = xlMinimized
End Sub
the spreadsheet launches, the splash screen launches, but excel doesn't minimise
if i use
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.WindowState = xlMinimized
frmSplash.Show
End Sub
the spreadsheet minimises, but the form doesn't display - the excel taskbar button flashes to indicate something is going on clicking the taskbar button brings up the form & keeps excel minimised....but the staff who will be using this won't be happy with this at all!!!
