from 1 sheet i am opening several other worksheets and read in the bits i want.
i am finding that on occasions the workbook_open on these sheets is causing great performance issues because of the calc mode set to automatic in the open routine of the individual sheets. i dont need it to be set to auto but the sheet owners perfer it to be set like this and i cant turn it off their sheets. is ther a way of opening a workbook from a macro and then override its workbook_open routine?
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(sSourceFolder & "" & "mySheet.xls", False, True)
i cant find any other switches that i could use to disable this.
i have a workbook iam using as a template.(workbook "template") the user opens which then requests a job number which will then saves the workbook as the enterd job number. this workbook also contains all the material data. eg: price and type which is on sheet "data". I am hopin to get to the sheet "data" from another workbooks command button by bypassing the job enter request by the workbook_open sub. basically i need some code that disables a workbook_open sub
I have a question concerning Macros and the Disable/Enable prompt. My boss has a spreadsheet which has been used for years and he recently wanted to and did remove the macros from the spreadsheet (they were no longer necessary), but the disable/enable prompt still appears when the spreadsheet is opened. I replicated this in a test spreadsheet with a simple insert line macro and received the same results. Is there a way to remove the macros and the disable/enable prompt once they are removed? I know about setting the security to low to not see the prompt, but I would think that once the macros are deleted, the prompt should not appear any more.
I want to use this command when I open every workbook.
How do I do that? I know you're supposed to put the macro in the thisworkbook module in the workbook, but I have 600 workbooks that needs to be changed. That is just not a good idea. I've tried to put the macro in the workbook called own.xls (I use a swedish version of excel, dont know what it is called in english) thisworkbook,
I script that on open would pop up asking if a sync was done with an option for yes or no. If yes is pressed then it would just open, if no selected it would give a message "must sync before use" and close the workbook.
I do not want this message to pop up when other spreadsheets are open when this one is still open so im guessing private workbook_open
I am using the following code in my Workbook_Open sub, located in the ThisWorkbook code module. I am enabling macros when opening. All other VBA code in the project is running correctly.
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Worksheets("Sheet1").init MsgBox "starting" End Sub
The init sub did not appear to be running so I inserted the MsgBox to confirm, but that doesn't come up either.
I have an Excel add-in file (stored .xla format) that is used by a lot of other spreadsheets on a network location because it is modified often, and all workbooks made from a template reference it. everything with that works fine, and any changes made to the add-in file are always reflected upon startup in the workbooks. So there isn't a problem with that. Recently I've had to add a Workbook_Open() sub into this add-in (which I wrote in 'ThisWorkbook'). However, this macro is never entered by any of the workbooks. Is it possible to have a workbook_open sub in another file? If so, what can be causing it to fail (there aren't any errors or anything like that in the sub)?
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.
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Dim x As Date x = InputBox("Enter End Date!") Range("B2") = x With Application. CommandBars("File") .Controls("Save").Enabled = False .Controls("Save").Visible = False .Controls("Save As...").Enabled = False .Controls("Save As...").Visible = False End With With Application.CommandBars("Standard") .Controls("Save").Enabled = False .................
VB: Private Sub Workbook_Open()Worksheets("Sheet1").ActivateRange("$B$1").SelectSheets("Sheet1").ScrollArea = "A1:z25"End Sub
Now I want to disable the above such that I am able to add an Apostrophe ( ' ) in front of every line of this Macro. Is there a shortcut for this or do I need to Manually add apostrophe in front of every line? And then after disabling if I need to re-enable it is there a shortcut to that too?
Private Sub Workbook_Open() If ActiveWorkbook. Name = "UserA.xls" Then Call PreviewList Else Cancel = True End If End Sub
After the macro auto-startup, UserA works on the worksheet and input some procedures and save as ClientA.xls. However, before save as ClientA.xls and close, UserA wants to change the worksheet name and Procedure name as below, how to do that?
Private Sub Workbook_Open() If ActiveWorkbook.Name = "ClientA.xls" Then Call RevisedList Else Cancel = True End If End Sub
In the Workook_open Sub I want to define 2 global static Variables. For some reason I can't get it to work. Whenever I try to access these vars they have the value "0" I use Excel 2000.
Here is what i did:
Dim i As Integer Dim ws As Worksheet Public Static GlobalStartX As Integer Public Static GlobalStartY As Integer
the following workbook open event which repeats a macro called "Refresh" every 30 minutes. However, there is another macro "tame_blph" that i wanna call at 12 midnight everyday.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Call tame_blph
NextTick = Now + TimeValue("00:30:00")
Application .OnTime NextTick, "Refresh", , True
End Sub
Is it even possible to have multiple Workbook open events and/or multiple NextTick or something?
I am using the Worksheet_Change function behind a worksheet that executes some code every time a change is made on the worksheet.
ie.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) End Sub
Is it possible to disable this function while running another macro? Therefore, when I enable Screen.Updating, the Worksheet_Change function will not be triggered.
I have a Worksheet_Calculate Macro running in my workbook. I'd like to disable it temporarily when running another macro because its causing excel to run sluggishly.
I have built a complex vba & multisheet spreadsheet that I am looking to secure against all the common attacks. So I have:A Workbook Open pw; VBA password (29 symbols/numbers/Caps/lower case) Very Hidden worksheets Hidden rows/columns Restricted scroll areas Workbook protection Code that auto protects all sheets upon opening Registry referencing in Workbook Open with timed closure if not matched Now I am on the last leg of implementing protection against Application.EnableEvents = False; force enabling of Macros and hiding of toolbars, scrollbars etc... Phew.
Soooo, in my research, I have learnt that if EnableEvents = False, Workbook_Open is essentially skipped and the security VBA routines are disabled. To get around, I have copied the entire contents of the Workbook_Open routine to a module under Auto_Open. The first line of both these scripts is: Application.EnableEvents = True.
Works! So far so good. However, I have a Msgbox prompt in the scripts that displays twice. So in essence, Excel is running Workbook Open first, then Auto Open second. If I open another instance of Excel and run Application.EnableEvents = False first before opening my spreadsheet, I only get one message. So only the Auto Open script runs.
How to disable a macro when the workbook opened is a copy ** the original, the only difference between the 2 files would be the date created, could it possible to use some VBA to check for this "Date Created", and if the date is different from the original, then the copy will not able to run the macro or some sheets will be hidden in the copied file?
Is there a way for a macro to be not active when trying to insert a row or a way to have the macro understand that it's just a row shift? I'm trying to have a time stamp that anyone changes the value in a column. The following code generates an error 1004: application or object defined error when I insert or delete a row.
I have a macro in a workbook template,that when the workbook is open it populates a cell with the date and time such as 111711.507. This becomes the contract number for this workbook.. They complete the form or workbook and save it. The next time they open the saved workbook the macro runs and changes the contract number to a new number. I want to disable the macro on the saved workbook from changing the number.
i have this code which askes the user for a job number once the workbook is opened.
Private Sub Workbook_open()
' If sheet was named by original open routine, exit
If ActiveSheet.Name = "Main Roof" Then Exit Sub
' otherwise
Do Returnvalue = InputBox("Please Enter a New Job Number.", "Information")
' Allow changes by entering q as the Job Number If Returnvalue = "q" Then Exit Sub
' Delete the ' from the front of the following two lines and ' then when you enter q as the Job Number you will also be ' asked for a password. The default password is toe.
what iam trying to do is get it to open the userform "WorkSelection" after it has completed the above code.
i have been trying to hide the userform from the workbook open event with no luck
Private Sub Workbook_Open() ufmTheEstimator.Show Dim Worksheet As Excel.Worksheet If Me.Worksheets("Main Roof"). Name = True Then ufmTheEstimator.Hide End If End Sub
I am trying to code a macro call where in once the file is saved with the current week start date all the other macro's should be disabled. Since am having lot of data and report sheets which needs to be added and deleted in the run. It causes me problem when I try to open it again to view the results. For example I have a sheet named apple and another one applereport. I have made my code to delete apple since it is a data sheet. I want apple report to have all the other macros disabled once its been renamed to week start date for now it is 16 Mon 2007.
I've been setting the above property to TRUE after making some changes in the Workbook_open event in order to stop annoying messages if you haven't physically made changes.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to copy through to the workbook_beforeclose event and I'm being asked if I want to save changes even though the macro made the changes and then set the property. Here's my code for the open event :-
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Application.ScreenUpdating = False On Error Resume Next For counter = Worksheets.Count To 2 Step -1 Sheets(counter).Visible = xlVeryHidden Next Sheets("Desktop").Visible = True Sheets(1).Visible = xlVeryHidden.....
