Electronic Log Of Sheet Usage - Remote
Jun 5, 2007
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)

I am trying to turn this call tracking sheet into an electronic one. Is is possible to have check boxes in the empty cells that will allow someone to just click them as they go along and it would create a total at the bottom to avoid countless hours of counting these sheets. Or even turn "Trans CM" into a button that you can click and it would keep track of how many times that specific button was clicked.

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 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 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've been trying to send emails through an SMTP server in various ways. I've been able to send email using CDO going directly through an SMTP server on my same local network (not requiring a username and password). But now I am trying to send email from my home with the SMTP server I am using that is hosted by some commercial company. I used the code below, which is sponsored by Paul Sadowski:
Sub sendMailRemote()

Const cdoSendUsingPickup = 1 'Send message using the local SMTP service pickup directory.
Const cdoSendUsingPort = 2 'Send the message using the network (SMTP over the network).
Const cdoAnonymous = 0 'Do not authenticate
Const cdoBasic = 1 'basic (clear-text) authentication
Const cdoNTLM = 2 'NTLM.......................

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 have created a macro that creates a powerpoint from excel in office 2010. I have followed all the required steps, like adding object library and all. but still many times the PowerPoint crashes at slide7, 8 or 9 and have to restart. I generally get the above given error.
Code:

This seems like it is pretty easy but for some reason it is being goofy for me.
I entered this code to check it.
IF IsEmpty(Range("A1")) Then
msgbox("Yes, It is empty")
Else
msgbox("Not empty")
When it comes up I always get the box with "Not empty" even though I havent typed anything in the cell since I have created it. Even tried Clear Cell. Basically what it is for is to check if cell A1 is empty and if it is, it will create a Data header and if not, it will find the first empty cell and continue inputting data.

i have seen lot of formula especially sumproduct where "--" or "-" is used. i understand it is used for giving the conditions when the column has text or dates to be retrieved. But what decides two minus or single minus or no minus to be used.
If somebody can throw some light on this will be really helpful for my excel

done some VBScript spreadsheet reporting involving basically inserting data and some formatting.
I need some advice on what approach to take with Excel on my current project. The basic goal is to scrape project requirements off a word doc and load them into Quality Center (a test management tool from HP, henceforth referred to as QC). I have an hta/vbs process that offers the user choices gleaned from the QC API, scrapes the word doc, and creates a spreadsheet with a row for each requirement and a column for each property a "requirement" has in QC. These values are a combination of data from the word doc and values selected by the user in the preceeding hta interface.
The reason for this Excel step in the process is that all the values chosen up to this point are generic for the entire project. But there are a few properties that will be requirement specific. So all the info is collected in Excel and the user is to then go through each row and choose the "target cycle" (which I pulled off QC earlier in the process and display in Excel as a dropdown list). The "Platform Folder" and the "Module Folder".
Ok, so with that backround, here is my quandry... In the hta interface the user selected all the "Platform Folders" the project will have requirements in. These are then presented in a dropdown in the Excel, so the user can choose which of these Platform Folders this specific requirement should be loaded into. What I need to do is then have the "Module Folders" to be a dropdown that is dependant on the "Platform folder" chosen.
This is difficult enough for me, creating a dynamic dependant dropdown that will be replicated on each row. I don't know exactly how to do this but feel I can probably figure it out with all the help offered on these MVP sites.
What I can't figure out is where to do this. Should I set up the lists, formulas, and control code dynamically? Can these dependant list derive their values from comma delimited lists (like I did the non-dependent lists) or must they be in a worksheet? The only way I see to make the dependent dropdown work correctly is to have it run off a worksheet event. Can worksheet event code be applied dynamically or do I need to have a "template" type workbook containing the code in the application's folder and use that instead of creating a new workbook at exe time? I still have to write the upload into QC code, and that will probably be a macro that the user will have to install into their personal.xls. Can the dependent dropdown code be installed in the same way even though it needs to be event driven? Another aspect is getting the data for the dropdown. I can either get the lists earlier in the process when I already have a connection to QC and pass it along, or I can connect to QC from Excel and get the values dynamically. I am assuming passing them in will be more efficient.

We have designed a data collection program in excel which use's userforms for the data entry and form printing. There are 20 userforms, each with a "Next" button which hides the current userform and shows the next userform. The first "next" button has a copy and paste code which copies a today() statement and paste's it in a different cell to record how long it took to complete the data entry. We are able to go through the program once, but when we try a second time it freezes and the cpu usage goes to 100% resulting in us having to End Task.

I'm using a Dell P4, 1.6Ghz, 512Mhz of memory (Win2K & Excel 2003), and it's bogging on spreadsheets that aren't that big and complicated (compared to thing's I did years ago, in the days of 386's and Win98)...
It hits the 100% CPU usage and stays there for minutes (especially when saving) on files that are only around 2M in size, yet it's not using much of the memory...
Spreadsheets large or small seem to have little effect on how much memory is being used... is Win2K allocating a fixed % of total memory for Excel to use?... can this be changed, so Excel gets to use more of the available memory?
I've been cleaning up and redesigning my spreadsheets to make them more efficient, but there seems to be a disconnect between my hardware specs and Excel's performance with files that aren't that big ~:-/
Disabling my antivirus software (Nortons) prior to saving, seems to speed it up a little, but this is not something I should be having to do...

how I have the data arranged... What I need to do is for each type I need to be able to calculate usage, so I will need to make sure it is subtracting say COKE usage the week of APRIL 1ST where beginning inventory on april 1ST was 99 and on April 7th the invnentory was 72, of course the usage is 99-72/7 will give me per day but I need the formula to be able to know which date will correlate to know which inventory to subtract from... So each time I add a new inventory in the sheet it will always be able to find where the data is it needs to subtract from to get the proper usage... Of course do this without manually entering the usage each week...

I have a worksheet where the user selects between two option controls, which are mutually exclusive. when they toggle an option, a user form pops up, depending on which option they selected, and askes them for a number, which is used in a calculation elsewhere in the page. The user form has a cancel button, in case they decide to back out. If they cancel, I want the option buttons to reset back to their original state.
The problem I'm having is that when I code it, if you select cancel on the user form, it causes the option to revert back to it's previous state, but that triggers the selection of the option again, which pops up the form, making a neverending loop! Is there a better way to do this? I tried it with a toggle button, with the same results.

I have created an excel tool w/ A LOT of macros in it, and the tool "speaks" to the SQL server (downloads data from it and uploads it back). My big problem now is that every time I run any of the VBA code the amount of RAM that is getting allocated to Excel (2007) is increasing - I am checking it in the Task Manager. So if I work for a long time without closing down Excel - my entire RAM is getting consumed and the system slows down, and sometimes crushes.
I was wondering if there is a way in VBA to clean up memory that is used by Excel.
Do you have any hints? I am using extensively 3 things - screenupdating off; displaymessages off, and calculations off. But this speeds up Excel but doesn't reduce the memory usage.

basically im setting a range type variable to be the a column of data from a table that is on another sheet but in the same workbook. im wondering if im supposed to get rid of certain variables i have created...especially in an instance like this, where the variable seems to be more of a reference to the actual table data.
Dim curtzeNum As Range
Set curtzeNum = Worksheets("RawData").Range("Table3[Curtze_num]")
should there be an erase statement for these at the end of the sub?

I was reading in the sticky post about the new version of Excel that is due out this year. One of the improvements listed was the increase of usable memory by Excel from 1gig to the amount of Windows memory. In reading this, am I to understand that increasing a machine's physical memory above 1gig is useless for Excel in the current version? My specific issue is I have a very involved worksheet that takes about 2.5 minutes to calculate and this will increase as more data is added, it is heavy formula laden. I was going to increase memory from 2gig to 4gig to assist in reducing the calculation time.

I am working on a spreadsheet that is very large. Opening the spreadsheet and even operating the spreadsheet with the cells off of manual calc can slow down the computer quite a bit. The spreadsheet has quite a few sheets, alot of data, very basic formatting, and alot of vlookup (as well as other) formulas.

Calculating usage...
Take the Current date and I need that inventory ---- find the date 7 days before this date ---- get the inventory for that date --- current inventory - previous inventory / 7 will give me the daily usage... the data will be in a pivot table so I need to make sure it doesnt change the usage when moving the table around...

My spreadsheet has a sheet1 with 1000 rows and needs four columns with "sumproduct" formulas referencing sheet2 with 20000 rows. An example of the formula is:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Sheet2!$F$2:$F$20000=$B3),--(Sheet2$A$2:$A$20000 >=$J$2))
Once I add them, the recalculation slows it to a crawl. In trying to understand the problem, I do a Manual/Automatic between running a sort. The recalculation still takes too long to be practical.
