Disable Alt-click Opening Research Pane
Nov 11, 2006
Simple question: How can I disable the Research Task Pane from launching when I Alt-click in Excel 2003?
Further Explanation:
I have an Excel Add-in (commercial, not my own) that will retrieve data from an outside server when the user presses Alt-Double Click. Work's great. I've now upgraded to Excel 2003, so anytime I Alt-Double Click, Excel opens up the "Research Task Pane" (Pain?). To make matters worse, I'm behind a corporate firewall, so I get an authentication challange in order to connect to the internet when this opens. Don't want it, don't need it, want to get rid of it. Any solution is fine - Option setting, VBA, Registry setting

I have created an Excel template that the company sends out to suppliers to provide us with Quotations. I've added some VB in the Before Save module to prompt the user to do certain things. The problem I have is that I run another procedure that loops through a list of data and re-formats it using the template and therefore every time it tries to save a file the Before Save prompt pops up.

Need code or way of disabling the Right Click feature in Excel? I think you can change it in the computer settings but I only want to disable it for a particular workbook so I am hoping there is a VBA Code that will tell the user "Right Click Not Allowed, Please use Cut and Paste or Ctrl +V and Ctrl +C"

have a password protected spreadsheet with a userform for people to enter data. This allows them to enter data, but stops them from editing or deleteing data once entered.
When the spreadsheet is opened, it asks for a password to unlock it. Hitting cancel allows the user to continue and the userform pops up for the user to enter data. I would like to disable the initial password prompt when the file is opened to avoid confusion on the users part.

I would like to completely disable the drop down list on the right-click.
I've got
.CommandBars("Cell").Enabled = False
set up and this works on cells but it still leaves it working on shapes.
.CommandBars("Toolbar List").Enabled = False
is similar. Anyone know how to fix this?

I have a workbook with multiple charts in and will be available to others to use but I want to disable the ability for them to be able to right click on a chart and make any alterations. I cannot lock out the page due to other things that I have going on. I also need to reverse this code when they close the workbook down so it does not affect any other workbooks

Is it possible to disable the ability to right click on a tab and select "move or copy"?
I've already disabled the Edit->Move or Copy Sheet... feature on the menu.
I'm sending a file to users that I don't want them to print. The workbook itself has the print function password protected and copy/paste disabled. Any help would be appreciated.
To clarify I already have the printing part solved, but I don't want them to be able to move or copy the tab or tabs to a new workbook and print from there.

I need to display Excel Sheet in a Browser and I want to disable the Right Click and Menu of Excel(File, Edit).
So in the method Workbook_Open i coded following
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application. CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars(" Cell").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("Sheet").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("Ply").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("Row").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("Column").Enabled = False
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Enabled = True
Application.CommandBars("Cell").Enabled = True
Application.CommandBars("Sheet").Enabled = True
Application.CommandBars("Ply").Enabled = True
Application.CommandBars("Row").Enabled = True

It works fine, but if I open Excel application before viewing this HTML page(which contains XLS) and then the option are also disabled in Stand alone Excel application. I want to disable option when for this Sheet which is opened.

way, using VBA code, to disable/enable individual shortcut menu items that are are made available with a right mouse button click. The following code disables the right mouse button completely but I would like to disable only a couple of options like the ' Cut' option.
The code to disable is below and to re-enable I just change False to True.
Dim cb As CommandBar
i = 0
For Each cb In CommandBars
If cb.Type = msoBarTypePopup Then cb.Enabled = False
Next cb

I need a macro to disable all cut options (ctrl^x, right click cut, cut button in ribbon above), disable drag and drop, but still allow copying and pasting (the cutting affects cell references). I've already locked the spreadsheet, but users need to be able to input information and paste information in from other workbooks. This code must also only apply to THIS WORKBOOK and not affect others. Please help with a macro for this, as well as where to paste and how to properly configure macro security settings. I'm a big excel user, but this is my first time ever with VB and macros so talk to me like I'm dumb! I've pasted links to the two codes I tried, and I think one of them enabled a macro that affected all workbooks and now whatever code I put in won't save upon re-opening. It's there when I navigate to it, but it is ineffective like it's not even there. In macro security, I've enabled all macros and have the "trust VB programming" box checked. So maybe do some damage control before re-programming. I am getting a new computer in less than a month, but I want to be able to try out the code and have it work first, and I don't want to transfer the harmful code to the new computer.
P.S. This first code allows copying and cutting, but then just disables pasting, which is not what I want. The second one works great, but disables the right click menu altogether, which is no good either. And neither allow for pasting from the outside. And this is for moderate excel users, they won't try to erase the macro. I just need to keep them from making mistakes with cutting.

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.
In a way this is like a refresh button.

I've just inherited a load of Excel files I need to continue using, but my predecessor has done something that disables the middle-click scroll ability.
I can still scroll up and down by turning the wheel, but I want to be able to click it and scroll in all directions at speed - I didn't realise how much I used this until I couldn't. Can't see anything in the VBA sheet properties, and they are all .xlsx files. Nothing leaps out of the settings either. If I create a new file or a file of mine within the same session, they work fine.

I have an Excel 2003 program that contains macros. One of the macros hides certain command bars and disables the worksheet menu bar. On close the opposite is true. The problem is, if a user uses the disable macros when opening then the worksheet menu bar and other command bars are still available. I would like to hide all of the data sheets and display another sheet that would normally be hidden displaying a message that the macros have to be enabled for the program to work correctly if disable macros is chosen. When the enable macros are used I would like the Error page to be hidden.

I have a chart with data displayed in columns A thru F and chart to the right of data. Chart width is adjusted programmatically based on amount of data from the user input.
I have been able to split screen and freeze panes so I can horizontally scroll through chart without moving data. Is there a way to be able to scroll vertically through data and have chart frozen?

I 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.

I need to list all freeze pane position from every sheets in my workbook in order to reverse a "unfreeze all" function. I don't know if i need to be more specific ?
Situation : I have a workbook with many sheets. Every worksheet has a different freeze pane position. I hate freeze panes, so while i'm working in a workbook, i remove them all. My boss likes those ones so i want to give him back my work with the same layout.
The main thing i don't know here if how you ask Excel to fetch freeze pane info. Ideally the information will be reported in a new sheet, columns : Sheets, HorizontalFreezePanePosition, VerticalFPP...
Once i will have this list, i will create a new macro and set back freeze pane individually.

I have a need to open a file from my companies intranet. My current method was to open said file via the method that the recorder gave me. However, I would like ot be able to open a said file without having to start open another workbook.
This is the path:
[url]
So the command is this:
Workbooks.Open [url]
Links are not actual links
So what I need to know. Is how can I open this file without opening a workbook. I haven't been able to use the VB "Open Statement" to open a file and I don't believe that I've been successfull using the Filesystem object either.
