Disable Save As At Program Level?
Jan 29, 2014
I know the disabling of 'Save As' has been covered alot. I have successfully disabled both Save and Save As at the file level by the following:
Making file Read Only (which disables Save option)
Inserting the following VBA to make the Save As disabled.
[Code].....
The remaining problem I have is disabling the Save As prompting at the program exit level.
For example, if I have a read only file with Save As disabled and I choose the workbook (file) level close window (X) button, I am prompted to save the file but am not allowed to. This is the behavior I am looking for.
HOWEVER, if I choose to exit the file by selecting the program (Excel) level close (X) button, I am prompted to save a copy of the file and it allows me to do it.
I do not want my ~180 users to have any option to save the file once it is uploaded to a centralized server location. It is a large file and I do not need multiple versions floating around.
Is it also possible to disable the 'Save As' on close at the Program level??

I am working as a private consultant for a company, and have put together a series of Excel applications, producing charts and providing some statistical guidelines. I will move on from here soon, and will take my work with me. I want to leave this product with the company, but it will become obsolete without some formula maintenance. Therefore, I would like to be able to have the program basically stop working at a future date. I don't really care if it freezes up, deletes itself or implodes. If not I am also afraid many copies of this program will be made and sent to others in my small community.

I would like to save a module level variable but do not know how to do it. I have tried using the public key word. If I put it in the sub, I get an error when it tries to compile the sub. If I put it outside of a sub, it just doesn't work. Surely this is something easy.

Is It Possible To Auto Save To A File Via A Macro?
What I Want To Do Is To Auto Save Directly To A Folder On Our System Via A Macro.
The Problem Is That Firstly It Will Need To Look Up A Cell ( D8 ) To Find Out The Job Number
Then It Will Have To Find The Folder On Our System ( Its On Desktop Under Job File Folder ) Then Comes The Hard Bit It Will Need To Locate That Job Number ( Cell D8 ) To Look Up The Relevant Folder To Put It In. All The Job Files Are Labelled Up Eg.( J2663 - Parry ) Then In That Folder Is A Sub Folder Called Docs Which It Needs To Be Saved In

I need my spreadsheet to require that the user save it by clicking a macro button, and not the Save or SaveAs options in the file menu. I have found out how to disable saving entirely:
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
If SaveAsUI Then SaveAsUI = False
End Sub
But this of course prevents my macro button from saving too!
Is there any way to allow VBA code to save the spreadsheet while simultaneously preventing the user from saving through the menu?

I have a file that I have created that the users will use as a master template to create data that I need. Once they have finished, I want the file to define what the filename should be when they click save.
At the same time, I want to disable "Save As..." as some users will just use that and then will use a file name that another macro (that I will use) won't recognise.

I use to send reports to my seniors on daily basis.
I want these reports to be with me and they can just open and check the reports, when I send them. If they try to save file through File-Save or File-Save As, they should not get these options at all in the File Menu.

Is there a way to disable 'Save as PDF or XPS' with the macro? I have tried disabling 'Save as' with the below VBA code but it does not disable 'Save as PDF or XPS'.
VB:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
If SaveAsUI Then
MsgBox "Save As is disabled", vbInformation
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
Also I have a macro which saves the excel report in a PDF format with 'Save as PDF or XPS' utility. I would like to enable 'Save as PDF or XPS' when this macro is started and again disable 'Save as PDF or XPS' when this macro stops.

I have a button in a template file, that when clicked, saves the file as a new file with file name based on data in certain cells.
I want to disable the ability to save the file with the Save icon or Ctrl-S, but the button still needs to be able to save it (the button is technically doing a Save As, so no problem there). But, I, as the administrator of the template, need to somehow be able to save updates to the template file. Can this be accomplished by coding Save to work when used with a secret key combination that only I know (I can put it in password-protected VB code)?
Then, as if that's not tricky enough, the trickier part is that once the file is saved as the new file (no longer the template) - re-enable the Save button and Ctrl-S so the user can then save it as many times as they want.

Is there a code or a way to make it impossible to make permanent changes to a file without first saving it as something else? I have a master report that is done monthly.
I do not want anyone to be able to save any changes on the master report. How do I go about disabling save and the save as funtions in excel? I have a save as command button that I only want people to use.
Also is there a way to set up a print command button to print to any computers default printer? I have set up a print command button on my computer and it works fine on mine, but I have sent the file to another person and the button is not doing anything on their computer. I assume because we don't have the same computers.

I want to be able to disable the save query definition option for a worksheet using VBA. Right now I have to right click a cell and then go to Data Range Properties and then uncheck the save query definition box. If there is a way to automate this that would be great.

I have a 2-column employee file. Column A has the employee id and column B has the manager's employee ID. The reporting layers can get pretty deep. In this example, there are 6 layers of reporting. For example, Employee id 1200 (which is not in column A) has 2 employees. One of them (1712) has several employees, one of whom (1680) has employees reporting to them and so on for several levels.
Is there a way in Excel (2003 or 2007) to summarize the reporting structure? For instance, I need to know all of the employees that report up through emp id 1712 - not just that report directly to 1712, but all those under 1712's tree.

I created 2 groups of lines (or outlines) with sub-outlines (so I have 2 levels) in the same worksheet.
I would like, via a macro, to display the 1st at level 1 and the 2nd at level 2.
Of course, I tried the "showlevels" command but it puts both groups at the indicated level.
Is there any command to work only on 1 of the 2 groups ?

With reference to thr great charts that Andy Pope has made available on his website; specifically the thermometer chart and the dollar spit chart. Is there any way that one can use these methods on something shaped like a bucket or do the shapes have to be "straight line shapes"?
What I was trying to do was to adapt the thermometer method to work on a bucket but I realised that the chart is built on a column chart. Thus a bucket would not work cos the top is wider than the bottom.

I'm looking for a formula to pull the correct piece of data from one worksheet and display it in another. I have tried VLOOKUP, but it is only returning values from the first instance of my lookup value. Below I have included a sample of what the data from the first sheet looks like. My lookup value is entered on Sheet2 in cell A1. The formula I have used is as follows...
=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet1!A2:D13,4,FALSE)
The result this would return for a value of 111111111 is 15, but I'm looking for one more level of depth in this lookup, by being able to pull not necessarily the cost of the first code, but of a specific code......

Is there any way to reference a directory that is up one level from the ActiveWorkbook.Path?
I am trying to accomplish three goals:
1. Maintain a Master Database in a root directory and pull data from a subdirectory - EASY:
VB : FilePath = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "sub-DirectoryName"
2. Maintain a Minor Database located in a sub-Directory, Named by Month, and pull data from the Master Database located in the Root Directory (up one level). Which I cannot find the right syntax for - ".." does not work.
3. Maintain a Minor Database in a sub-Directory, Named by Month, and pull data from a different Minor Database in a Different sub-Directory (e.g. up one level to root directory, then down one level to "January"). Which I also cannot find the right syntax for.
The Databases are going to be moved around A LOT, so I have to use relative paths.

I have a workbook with three sheets.
Sheet 1 is a large data array (approx 8 columns x max 400 rows), than contains the inventory and cost information of a list of products in a running cafe.
Sheet 2 is is a recipe analysis tool that I want to be able to use data validations to cost out recipes, drawing information from sheet 1 in three dependent drop down boxes 1- category, 2- supplier, 3- item name, which then returns that items cost per standard of measure.
Sheet 3 is where I have started to try to generate a unique list for category and supplier to assist sheet 2 in referencing from sheet 1.
There is data overlap across the inventory items, with many items having the same category and or supplier.
Examples that I have found online use the index and match function, in conjunction with naming to return the array required for the drop down, however most of these examples I have found contain simple unique lists.
I cant seem to nut dynamic naming, which is integral as the list is expanding and contracting all the time.
So far I have been successful by manually naming a range (not a satisfactory solution as per above) and then using the indirect function to reference that named array from sheet 1.
