Display Username In Message Box That Has A File Open
Feb 2, 2010
I have bit of code that:
(1) opens another spreadsheet
(2) updates that spreadsheet
(3) saves that spreadsheet
(4) closes that spreadsheet
If the spreadsheet that requires updating is open by another user, I display a message indicating the file is open and no updates occured. There are about 20 persons within the organization that may have this file open? Is there away to display the username of the person who has the file open?.

I'm a novice at VBA and I want a dialog box to display a welcome message once the user opens the excel file (worksheet). I can write the code to display a MsgBox but I can't make it to display the MsgBox once the file is open. I'm learning VBA by trial and error.

I want to display a message box to user upon opening a file. When the message box is displayed I want to display two buttons.
Button 1 = “Continue”
Button 2 = “Cancel”
If the user selects button 1 (“Continue”), I want the file to remain open and the message box will close.
If the user selects button 2 (“Cancel”), I want the file to close.
There is one condition that must be met for the “Continue” button. The message contains some disclaimer information. When the message box first appears on the screen, the “Continue” button is disabled. To make the “Continue” button active, I want to add a Check Box to the Message Box with a caption that reads “I agree to the Terms and Conditions”. Once the user places a checkmark in the Check Box, the “Continue” button will become active.

I'm using VBA to upload the open workbook to app.box URL which is working great! Since I'm pretty new to VBA, I can't figure out how to get Excel to display the sucess/failed message from the server to the user. I used the VBA POST upload module from this awesome tutorial, but I can't figure out how to return the message to the user. I did figure out that on the website there is an "id="after_upload_message", not sure if that works. My code is below.

I am having with Excel 2007.
When I hover the mouse over a cell with comments, the status bar displays a message; for example "Cell A12 commented by A satisfied Microsoft Office user".
I only get this message for one column. The cells in all other columns give my first and second name as the author of the cell comment.
Why it is only effecting one column. I have been unable to change the annoying "commented by A satisfied Microsoft Office user" to my own name.
Is there a macro that can do this? I tried two macros I found online, both from a few years back, but neither of them worked.

I have a spreadsheet (don't we all) that is currently password protected - you double click the file and need to input a password before it will open.
I have some code that will protect a workbook from changes and only unlock for specific usernames, and i wonder if there is some code that will do the following:
-User opens spreadsheet
-VBA looks at the username trying to open the sheet, for this example the username is Paul.Smith
-Paul.Smith is not one of the people who should have regular access to this sheet - so the VBA requests a password from him prior to opening the sheet.
My username opens the same sheet (galvin.paddy), VBA see's that my name is one of the 'Authorised Users', removes the password and opens the sheet for me ready for use.

Trying to find a set of code that I can use to open a website that's predetermined, and enter in the users name and password automatically. And if possible, open a new email via the website, addressed to a person, and ready to browse for the file to attach.
The code I have is below.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'
storenumber = [$c$3]
If [$iv$2] = True Then
If [$iv$3] 0 Then
MsgBox ("Can't send with No Adjustments Checked & Items to Adjust, Please clear one")
End
End If
End If..................

i have a spreadsheet with the following worksheets:
"Data Entry" (sheet 1)
"Menu" (sheet 2)
"Username" (sheet 3)
In username the range a2:b5 contains the following:
a2= John b2=Write
a3=Scott b3=Readonly
where John or Scott are usernames in Environ("Username")
Is it possible to write a macro that does the following:
1. When the file is opened it looks at the network username and checks again the Username range in sheet3, if it is Write then the user can change cells in Data Entry and save the workbook, if Readonly then they can only view and not save, and if not there at all, then the worksheet closes.
2. When the file is opened write a log in a hidden sheet callled "Log" of the time opened and the username
3. Is it possible to do the same but making a copy of all cells changed ??

I was able to get some help a while ago and hoping for someone to reply as well. Any one have ideas how to create a userform which will be use for username and password input? I know how to create one but is there anyway that the username and password will be stored as .txt file instead of using worksheet to store the data?

I have a thousand names on a column, and I have a several worksheet tabs as locations, such as CA, AZ, TX, and NY.
All names goes to main worksheet, show like this
apitchford 10 100 123
bkishpaugh 9 211 123
blee 14 234 111
cbonny 21 125 412
I need to pull a specific name, example, name = blee, move that name with all data on that row into TX.
I will need to set as automatically, becuase the names add and delete on the main worksheet, and will auto update those tab worksheets. (make sense?)
I have tried INDEX and MATCH, but they keep putting one data in, not all data.

how to make a MsgBox open anytime a cell in Column A was double-clicked--and the content of the MsgBox was from the cell in the same row in column Z. I've now realized the double-clicking isn't an ideal solution, as it's easy to click in another cell and mess up all the formulas.
(1) Code that deactivates the "edit directly in cell" option when the workbook is opened.
(2) Code that opens the MsgBox when a cell in Column A is clicked just once (or similarly less fool-proof than double-clicking or right-clicking).

I have seen a message box pop up if you try and enter a date prior to today saying , Please enter todays date , then gives you an option Retry Or Cancel. But im not familiar with this function.
Is it possible to have this if a date is enter and is either a weekend or a date less than today ?

I want to sort the information that will be displayed in a message box just before it's displayed, is this possible. I can't do this in the worksheet because it would conflict with how I have the worksheet sorted already. Here's the last portion of the code that will display what I want in the message box. I want to sort by the... Requested on: " & mpNames.Cells(i, 2).Text & " this column has a date and time in it and I want the sort to use this information to sort the message box.
If .Cells(i, "A").Value = mpTestName Then
mpMessage = mpMessage & mpNames.Cells(i, 1).Value & _
" (Requested on: " & mpNames.Cells(i, 2).Text & ", Leave type: " & mpNames.Cells(i, 3).Value & _
", Start Date on: " & mpNames.Cells(i, 4).Text & ", End Date on: " & mpNames.Cells(i, 5).Text & ")" & vbNewLine & vbNewLine
End If
Next i
If mpMessage "" Then
MsgBox mpMessage, vbOKOnly + vbInformation
Else
MsgBox "Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah", vbOKOnly + vbInformation
End If
End With
End Sub

When the user enters a date (A1), that date is cross-referenced with a database to determine 1 of 3 results, in which the results are displayed in A3 as follows - Date out of range. (value="DOR"), No records exist. (Value="NRE"), Records exist. (Value="RE").
Once the date is entered and the corresponding value determined, I would like to have a ppo-up message appear with options:
Date out of Range.
Message: "Date falls out of range of operating season. Please re-enter." ** I think I can use validation to take care of this. **
Message "Would you like to import data?"
Yes - open external application
No - default A1 to current date and await user input
Records Exist.
Message " x Diamond Records; y Field Records; z Court Records " where x y z are numeric values based on lookup from the referenced database
Message "Proceed to data"
Yes - takes used to next new worksheep
No - default A1 to current date and await user input
How / where do I code this to activate after the user enters a valid date?

I am looking for is VB code to firstly have a message box with an input box on (that bit i can do). The text and number put into the message box is then used to search the table for the information that relates to it.
The ideal would be for the code to find the data and then copy it either to the clipboard or to a section of the workbook.
The tables I am searching can be put into which ever format is easiest. Below is an example table;
A B C D E
1 A.1 Side Road Correctly Left
2 A.2 Hit in Rear Left
3 A.3 No known Police ref
4 A.4 Vandalism

I have been using the GetOpenFileName method and a message box to return the filepath of a file and saving the filepath in a variable called Filepath. This worked just fine.
What I want to be able to do is display the the file path at any time in a message box, but not sure how to do this. I tried displaying the message box in a form and was going to look for some way to call the form, but the form does not return the message.
My code for this is as follows:
Module 1
Sub getfilepath()
Dim filepath As String
filepath = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="All Files (*.*), *.*", Title:="Select a file")
UserForm1.Show
End Sub
Userform 1
Private Sub OkButton_Click()
Unload UserForm1
End Sub...........

I am just having a problem where at the end of my macro, the macro is looking for a value in a cell and there is no value at the end of the game for it to paste so I get an error. Instead of getting an error, I would like the macro to display, "You win!", if cell e1 is =1, "You lose!", if cell e1 is =2, and "tie game", if cell e1 is =0.
