Does An Add-in Script Executes From A Remote Computer?
Dec 2, 2009
i have an excel file with some vba code that includes some functions of a third party add-in also. It works fine when i open this file on the host machine. (Assuming host machine is where the Excel File is placed) But when i try to open the same file from some other computer(remotely/by sharing folder), the add-in malfunctions because of one reason that it considers the remote machine to be its host. Is it possible to set a permanent host machine for that any add-in. Or is it possible for that add-in / Excel file to do its calculations and updation of links on the host machine where it is placed.

I have an excel workbook that lists the number of mailboxes on several exchange servers. Because this info is put in manually by several people throughout the day there is a chance for mistakes. I can use remote desktop to get into these servers and check all these but when you have over a hundred (Enterprise Level) of these different mailbox stores to check, it takes a while and just isn't fun. I have a friend who made a vbscript file that can check them all but I don't have that code but now I know that it is possible...well with vbscript anyhow.
is it possible for excel to access a remote computer? and how would this be done? If needed to we can be already remoted into it I just need help with the Syntax of how to then access it via some VBA.

I am hoping someone with excel experience can be of help to me with an unusual request for excel.
Assume cell A1 = 2, B1 = 3 and i wish the sum of this (5) to appear in cell C1. Very straight forward so far, however i wish the result to appear in C1 when i left click on a cell other than C1, say for example D7.
I can't use any macros for this.

I remoted most of my number crunching stuff to a dll.
It work fine except for a few strange things that I observed like from time to time a strange message "Error in loading DLL" even though everything works fine. This message appears only when entering the main formula in the formula, and is no problem at all in usual work.
When I investigated, I noticed in the "windows task manager" that one instance of excel remains open even after I have closed excel. This phantom excel process is maybe related to the other problem I explained above.
Instead of calling a VBA function, it creates a VB6 object from this dll and uses the methods of this object. In this way I have remoted the number crunching functionality.
The main parameter passe in this process is a reference to the original workbook. I need it because the number crunching functions need to read data from the workbook.
I made it sure to terminate the life of the object properly on both sides by ad hoc obj=Nothing statements.
Still I think that the "garbage collection" or the "terminating" is the cause of the problem.

I've just discovered that if you include the line: Application.IgnoreRemoteRequests = False. in a Workbook_BeforeClose event, and then close the workbook using ActiveWorkbook.Close
the
Application.IgnoreRemoteRequests = False
line is itself ignored! Code attached - the only workaround I can come up with is also included (to re-enable IgnoreRemoteRequests BEFORE the workbook is closed programmatically) - can anyone confirm this, or break it, or come up with a better explanation or workaround?

I have the code below that puts in the file name, date and time and page numbers. That works fine, however, I changed the name of this macro to AutoOpen thinking that this would execute upon opening an Excel doc -- I think this works for Word, that's why I tried it. Anyway, it doesn't execute upon opening an Excel doc. Can anyone tell me how to get that going? Also, the font of the file name comes at at 12 point while the other entries come in at 6 pt - any way of making these all consistent, say 8 pt? Thanks for your help.
By the way, I'm a novice at Excel macros so being fundamental in your answer would be very helpful (i.e., don't know why there is a distinction between Regular Modules, Worksheet Modules and Workbook Modules. Seems to me I should always be creating Regular Module macaros so that they are accessible to all Excel docs but, again, I'm new at this so I'll have to read more about these items as well).

I send out multiple versions of the same sheet every month. I want to be able to have a script run every time the spreadsheet is opened to send an electronic log directly to a text file on my machine (or something similar)
Is this possible or some sort of a pipe dream?
It would be used for me to monitor usage of the sheet, and i'd require only the same of the spreadsheet (which is always unique), the date/time and possibly the computer name / username? (not really needed)

Within the code I am asking excel to sort two difference worksheets with virtually the same code, except that one of the worksheets does not get sorted. If I step through the code, it works and the worksheet is sorted, but if I just run the macro the worksheet does not get sorted, as if the line of code in question is being skipped. Pointedly, my question is - Why does the code work while debugging (stepping through) but not when I generally run it?
Also, as far as the code is concerned, I am sure that the all variables contain the information I need them to and am also sure that any ranges created from those variables are also the ranges they should be. Here are the two lines of code that are supposed to sort. The UBOC cash sheet gets sorted, but the LNB cash sheet does not.
'Sort the UBOC cash sheet.
wsUBOC.Range("A5:G" & lUBOCRow).Sort Key1:=Range("A6"), Order1:=xlAscending, Key2:=Range("D6"), _
Order2:=xlAscending, Key3:=Range("G6"), Order3:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, _
MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
'Sort the LNB cash sheet
wsLNB.Range("A1:G" & lLNBRow).Sort Key1:=Range("A2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Key2:=Range("C2"), _ .............

I have an excel based report consisting of several worksheets. Each worksheet contains VBA code which allows the user to generate custom reports with a series of Excel Charts being generated. I have two related problems with the output/display.
Whenever I save the file the code is triggered causing each sheet to update and scrambling charts. (To fix this I have to leave the report and then re-enter, which then works fine).
Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening? For example, to avoid the code being run on save or to refresh the active screen. A couple of things I should mention: I already have screenupdating turned off so the user is not seeing each action being calculated. At present to avoid the chart display glitches with complex tasks, I have added a line to my code at the end which moves off screen and then returns to the current screen. That ensures the chart no longer lingers on screen, however it does mean that for a split second a phantom graph appears in the middle of the screen before disapearing.

I have CDO set up on in an excel workbook contained on our network. We have been using the following code for well over a year. It works flawlessly on 12 of our 13 computers. I can send mail through Excel using the following code on my computer. But not on a particular computer. The user at that particular computer can't send mail through the CDO code from her computer but can from other computers.
This problem is definitely isolated to a computer. I had tech support un-install office, use a cleaning tool, then re-install office. The problem persists. Is there a particular setting on this computer that needs to be set that I am unaware of?
Here is the code...

My code should get the value of a hidden element from a form that is on a remote website. Then it should display that element's value on my excel worksheet.
One or the other of the 2 lines between the commented out lines should work. Instead the code runs until within a minute after the page has finished loading, and then stops completely without getting the hidden element's value.
Code:
Sub work_damit()
Dim ieApp As Object
Dim URL As String
URL = "http://www.craft-e-corner.com/p-2688-new-testament-cricut-cartridge.aspx"
Set ieApp = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
ieApp.Navigate URL

I worked with an Ozgrid macro until it was what I wanted using files on my local PC. I then edited the macro to get data from a closed workbook on a remote server. I now have a Run-time error '1004'
Method ' Range' of object'_Worksheet' failed and the debugger takes me to this line of code.
With Sheet1.Range(AreaAddress)
The only thing I have changed up to this point in the macro, is the address of the file on the remote server.
I am at a loss with this now. Am I trying to do the impossible? ....

I was playing aroung some VBA code, but the code executes 98 times and I don't know why. For example, range A1 contains 5. When I type, say 3, in A1, I want A1 to show me 8 (5+3). Then I may type 10, in this case A1 must show 18 (8+10). And so on. I decided to place entered values in different column, then sum them in A1 with below stated code

Using Excel 2007.
My vba code seems to be dividing a range by 1M more than 1 time
My initial value is 51543942
After by code runs the display is 0.00 MB and the value in the formula bar is 0.000000000051543942 or 5.15439E-11
I would like the final display to be 51.54 MB
what I might be doing wrong?
Code:
'Format columns
r = .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = .Range("C2:C" & r)
.Range("IV1").Value = 1000000
.Range("IV1").Copy

I have an excel workbook created in 2007, but now running in 2010. In the workbook I have a form Combo box with a macro assigned to it. When I click any value in the combo dropdown list the macro executes. In 2007 I could click the combo dropdown box and then press ESC to exit from the form control without executing the assigned macro. Similarly I could also click on any other cell to exit from the control without executing the macro.
But, in 2010 if I press ESC or click on any other cell the macro will execute. Sometimes I want to be able to exit from the combo box without executing the macro.

I have created code to enter data from the Active cell. However, I would like to edit it so that the user can only make this work if they are on Rows 6 through Row 29.
Here is the
Sub DropDown7_Change()
'Right here I want: If ActiveCell. is in Row 6-29 Then
Application.ActiveCell.Value = Range("D3").Value
Application.ActiveCell.Offset(, 1).Value = Range("F3").Value
Else Msg = "Move into the proper rows"
End Sub
How can I do a check before the code is executed to be sure the users active cell is in Rows 6-29.

it would be possible to have text disappear after being displayed in Excel for a while.
My son and I played around with games (helping create a photographic memory, I told the youngster!) on the thing and until yesterday neither of us noticed that clicking the mouse anywhere (actually just clicking it) causes the screen to "freeze" while the code still happily erases the text in the background.
Hitting ESC allows the screen to cath up to the actual code EVEN THOUGH the ESC key is actually disabled from breaking the code.

I have the following code attached to a userform. It works perfectly (for what I need) although I know it may not be perfectly written. However it does seem to take for ever to execute considering it's just filling some cells on different worksheets. Have I missed something out or got it tied up doing something that takes a long time. If it's just a fact of life that it takes this time then I can live with it.
Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
Dim wsCB As Worksheet, wsLL As Worksheet, wsBond As Worksheet
Dim rngFound As Range
Set wsCB = Sheets("Current Bonds")
Set wsLL = Sheets("Landlords")
Set wsBond = Sheets("Bond")
TenancyStartTxt = Format(TenancyStartTxt, "dd-mmm-yy")
RnwlDteTx = Format(RnwlDteTx, "dd-mmm-yy")
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
10 MyBond = Application.InputBox("Bond number for renewal?", "Bond Number")
strFindMe = MyBond
With wsCB
Set rngData = .Range("c13:c490").......................
