I have a query in Excel 2003.
My question is:
I have a macro created for my Excel. I have a short cut key to run this macro. When i run the macro, the VB editor is opened where i have written the code. My requirement is, I don't want the VB editor to be opened when i run the macro. I want the macro to be executed but the VB editor should not be visible to the user.
I've been helping another user create a workbook that dynamically adds, renames and deletes worksheets from a "Main Sheet".
I have got the whole thing figured out and running to satisfaction, except...
The macro runs fine if the Visual Basic Editor is open. If the editor is closed while the macro is run, I get "Runtime Error '9': Subscript out of range"
Any ideas what could be casing this? The errors occur when attempting to add sheets.
What would be a code to open notepad and paste infomation from column cells A3 to A30 when ever a command button is clicked.
I am working on a report where if an icon or button is clicked it should open rich text editor or text box with current date and time in the box so that the managers can enter their remarks next to them. On clicking submit it should save the remarks and next time when opened it must have previous comments with date and also should prompt todays date for new comments.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the VB Editor open and am manually activating different workbooks in Excel (with 20/25 modules each), the VB Editor goes through a process of maximising each and every module in the workbook I have selected before I can edit any code or, indeed, do anything in the workbook. This process takes about 8-10 seconds every time I select a different workbook in excel! I have played around with the settings "Full Module View" in the options section of the VB editor, but to no effect.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a macro which output depence on the variable input. Input is represented by drop-down list. Before, I was choosing input from drop-down, then pressing the button my macro was running. Now, I'm thinking to if it's possible to exclude a spare operation from button pressing, just by clicking from drop-down.
My drop-down list is created through "Data->Validation->List box"
I got two worksheets visible for user to enter information with vba codes behind the sheets(i.e. Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range). Most cells of the worksheets are protected if the vba is executed. However, it was found that if user chooses not to run the macro when prompted, the worksheet can be edited whatever user want. So, how can the worksheet whole worksheet is protected if macro is not run?
i have a sheet with lots of macros.
for some reason whenever i run this one specific macro the vba editor screen comes up.. there is no errors. dont understand why it keep coming up.
also when i run this specific macro the first time it works really quickly.. and the next time i run it, the code takes a lot longer execute any ideas why?
I have created macros before, but it was a step by step, easy to follow, guide from out textbook. Now I have to create one on my own from these directions.
So my first task was to create a macro that went to a specific worksheet, and made A1 the active cell. I created that macro.
Now it comes to where I have to open the macro in Visual Basic Editor and I am completely lost. I know absolutely nothing about this. This is what it looks like now:
Sub Show_Report()
'
' Show_Report Macro
' Macro recorded 4/25/2007 by *******
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+w
'
Sheets("Jeff").Select
Range("A1").Select
End Sub
So now these are the next directions. "Edit the Show_Report macro in the VBE so that the macro prompts the user for the name of the report to view (indicating that the user should enter "Jeff", "Sally", "Jane", "Jim", and "Harry") and then displays that worksheet. (HINT: You should run the edited macro to make sure that it runs correctly.) Include an If-Then-Else control structure to detect an error if the user enters an incorrect report name. If an error occurs, the macro should display a message box informing the user of the error.
So what Im thinking is I need a code so what when I hit my macro hotkey, it opens up a pop-up box and then I get to type in a worksheet name and it takes me to that worksheet.
I have some code which formats a worksheet based on user selections in a form. The code works, except when the user has made the same selections in two multi-select list boxes. I need to find a way to determine whether the code has already formatted the worksheet.
To me, it seems that there might be two ways to do this, 1) have a test on the original block of code that checks whether this portion of the code has already executed for this variable or 2) check the worksheet for the string (the code formats the same string each time but adds the variable for the current iteration of the loop only if Year1 = True.) The problem is that I only want to format the column if it hasn't already been formatted for that selection.

I'm trying to identify the Active Cell for the formula that is executing.
Currently, using VBA, if the last manually clicked active cell (where the cursor resides)
is different than the cell containing the executing formula I get the
wrong cell, row, or column using ActiveCell.
I want to create a macro that will “open the look in list” and stop so I can pick a file to open. I’ve tried to use “record a macro” and “ctrl-o”, but the record a macro won’t stop until I pick a file or cancel the file list. I also tried to use “o” in the short cut key box
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have just encountered a very peculiar problem when using Scrollbar_Change Event for Controls Scrollbar (in a worksheet). I have tree scrollbars and assigned Event code for each one: ScrollBar1_Change, ScrollBar2_Change and ScrollBar3_Change.
Events works perfectly when I click on the arrows to adjust the scrollbar. What is strage however, event is not executed when I adjust the scrollbar itself (pulling the bar with a mouse) if I try it first time after adjusting another scrollbar. In such situation Scrollbar is adjusted on the screen, even linked cell is changed, but the Change Event is not executed. But when the same scrollbar is adjusted second time Change event is executed. To sum up: Scrollbar_Change event is not executed when adjusting the scrollbar with the mouse the first time after "switching" from one scrollbar to another, but is works perfectly in any other situation. It has nothing to do with the code istelf. I get this effect when I create a new workbookm add 3 scrollbars and a code like:
Private Sub ScrollBar1_Change()
MsgBox "ScrollBar1 changed!"
End Sub
Private Sub ScrollBar2_Change()
MsgBox "ScrollBar2 changed!"
End Sub
Private Sub ScrollBar3_Change()
MsgBox "ScrollBar3 changed!"
End Sub
What may be the cause of this selective "disobedience"? Note also, that I get this error on Excel 2000 (not tested it on Excel XP or 2003).
I ran into a screen update problem in a project I was working on and couldn't find a solution, so I wrote some test code in a new workbook as follows;
Sub Flkr()
'-------------------------
'Screen update test
'-------------------------
'Select sheet1
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
'Disable screen update
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Select sheet2
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
'display message
MsgBox "Why is the %&$@ screen updating?", vbCritical, "??????"
End Sub
Seems simple enough,eh?
When I step through this code the first statement works(sheet1 is selected)
The next statement is executed without an error, so I assume it works
The next statement sheet2 is selected, and the screen updates!

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a Form that user fill in information on, once they click the OK button, excel is filled with the inserted text on the form in the correct cells.
My question is, how do I validate that they have actually entered data in some cells, which I want to make mandatory, and if they have not, prompt them (this could be a simple message box) to fill it in. Let them fill it, and once they click OK again, check again... until all the mandatory fields are filled, only then will the macro fill in the excel cells.

I did a macro on my mac to transfer a sheet from one workbook to another worbook. It works very well when the destination workbook is open. Therefore I wanted to add some piece of code to check if the destination workbook is open. If not then I wanted the macro to open it before tranfering the sheet. Here is the code I´m using for tranfering the sheet
Sub Transfer_Sluttet()
If ActiveSheet.Index <> Sheets.Count Then
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set ws = ActiveSheet
Sheets(ws.Index + 1).Delete
ws.Move Before:=Workbooks("Sluttet.xls").Sheets("sheet2")
'Moves active sheet to beginning of named workbook.
'Replace Test.xls with the full name of the target workbook you want.
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End If
End Sub

I have a sheet with a country in it in A1 (validation list).
Depending on the country in A1 a country specific IF command has to be executed on a column1 with first cel = A3. This IF command also relies on the values in column 2 and 3 on the same row. (B3 and C3 are in the IF cmd)
I taught to do it like this : =IF($A$1="Spain";$A$5;0) with A5 being the country specific IF command which should be executed when spain is selected. however when I do this, this only works for the first cell ( I cannot drag this formule down, since it will always give the value calculated in column 2 and 3 on row1.
I'm not sure if the best way to 'select' the country specific IF cmd is with another IF command..
I was working on a presentation for work where I wanted to build a 'Family Feud' type board to play a game. In the board I am using activex text boxes with code that would hide the text box to reveal the answer underneath or it would show a custom shape (an X in a box) and play the buzzer sound. The code is pretty simple, first I would make the shape visible, then I would play the sound then the shape would be made invisible. If I step through the macro everything works fine, but when I run the macro, you never see the shape. It's almost as if the sound plays before the shape shows up and then it is made invisible again. I tried putting a wait and a sleep command between making the shape visible and playing the sound but that made no difference. If I remove the code to hide the shape at the end and run the macro, the sound plays and then the shape appears. Is there anyway to have the shape appear prior to or at the same time as the sound plays?
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton8_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
ActiveSheet.Shapes("First Strike").Visible = True
Play_Strike_Sound
'The previous line refers to another macro that has the code commented below. The sndPlaySound32
'function is one I picked up from cpearson.com
'sndPlaySound32 "C:\_Fin SysSoundsff-strike.wav", SND_SYNC
ActiveSheet.Shapes("First Strike").Visible = False
End Sub
I have inherited support for the an Excel 'program' that seems to be fairly unstable. I am currently having problems with the following code in a subroutine (executed when the user presses a command button):
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.PrintTitleRows = "$1:$7"

.PrintArea = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
End With
Sometimes it works and sometimes I get the following error: Run-time error '1004'
Unable to set the PrintArea property of the PageSetup class.

I am having problems with the VBA Editor freezing at the most inconvenient of times when writing code and then clicking to the Sheet I'm working on, it just freezes up the whole of Excel and it has to be shut down and opened up again.
It seems like a memory problem at first, but there is sufficient memory
( 768Mgs, OS is XP Pro, Excel 2000, 9.02).
The work is not lost becuase I'm able to Save even at PC Re-boot, fortunately.
I've tested on 2 different PC's and the same happens. The only way to avoid the freeze it seems, is before I switch to view a worksheet, is to Save then click off VBA Editor and re-open.
When doing so, another symptom is it seems a huge amount of memory is freed up, ( pardon the terminology)
There is also a message that pops up when re-opening that same workbook that there are Formulas Linked to another workbook, but unable to find any after tediously searching every worksheet by using "Find, Look in Formula" there is nothing found, yet.
This freezing may happen twice a minute whilst pointing the mouse cursor from any VBA Edit window or worksheet and it's getting to a point of repetitiously having to Save, click off VBA Editor, and Click back on again each time I need to look at a respective Worksheet.
When I open my excel file and go to the VBA editor there is a pop up telling me that there is a dll error. So, I can't access none of my code or run any of them.
In the tools menu and references it says : "MISSING : Microsoft PowerPoint 14.0 Object Library". When I unchech this box and close the menu, it checks itself back.
Edit : I have Microsoft PowerPoint 12.0 Object Library also in my references list.
Any way that the VBA Editor Immediate window from within VBA code?

View 4 Replies View Relatedis it possible to remove a VBE project from the VBE editor? This is a project that is opened as a read-only workbook, and then converted into an addin (essentially just to hide the worksheets). It therefore shows in the VBE editor but is in neither the add-ins or workbooks collections. This file is basically used as a source for data for another charts workbook. I need to clear this out of the VBE editor so as to reload an updated version of this workbook every so often.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI can't seem to tell if my formula isn't correct in concept, or if this is a known problem with Excel 2000?
I have written a short formula that is pretty straightforward, but is giving a different result in Excel's "Formula Editor" box (when you hit the = button) than is showing in the cell itself. The Formula Editor's result is showing as "TRUE" which is what I believe is the correct value, but the cell itself is showing the "FALSE" result of a different incorrect value.
Is it possible to check, with VBA code running some sort of "If" function in the background in an open workbook within which the VBA code is placed, whether a user is opening (or attempting to open) the VBA Editor? This should see any attempt being made, whether the user uses Tools>Macro>Visual Basic Editor, Alt + F11 or right clicking on the Excel icon top left to "View Code".
