View 9 RepliesI have an Excel 2003 program that contains macros. One of the macros hides certain command bars and disables the worksheet menu bar. On close the opposite is true. The problem is, if a user uses the disable macros when opening then the worksheet menu bar and other command bars are still available. I would like to hide all of the data sheets and display another sheet that would normally be hidden displaying a message that the macros have to be enabled for the program to work correctly if disable macros is chosen. When the enable macros are used I would like the Error page to be hidden.

First, I went to Add-ins and added the Solveradd-in. When I opened the workbook, I enabled Macros. However, all I get is a maessage saying that the MVB did not compile. I know there are some things you have to do to solve this, but I cannot remember the procedure I went thru 2 years ago to get this to work. Does anyone know what steps I must take?

Questions
1.Sometimes I get the message about macros being in the file that I'm opening and sometimes I don't - I don't understand why it doesn't pop up all the time and be consistent.
2. If I don't get the pop up screen or if I do but forget to enable the macros, I get reminded when I try to run a macro. For example, I have a check box and try to check it but I get the message that the macro has to be enabled. So I enable it, but the macro doesn't run. I have to uncheck and then recheck the box to get it to run.
i am trying to work out why i always have to enable macro's when i open some of my files that i have macros in, as i save them as enable macro file. I run excel 2007
as there are files i want to open without clicking on the enable button.
I am using the code below to open multiple workbooks in their own instance of Excel.
On my system, as well as most of the ones I've tested it on, enabling macros in the "parent" workbook, i.e. the one that contains the code, leaves them automatically enabled in the new session of Excel, as though the settings are carried over.
However, recently I've found a few systems where this is not the case. Enabling macros in the parent workbook opens the others, and then I have to enable macros again in each of the new sessions. Is there a way to fix this? All of the systems mentioned above have macro settings set to "disable with notification" and this cannot be changed.
Is it essential to enable macros in whatever the pc i use, if i am interested in using a form which i created in a different pc with macros. is there a way to avoid this. because each and every time i dont want to change the settings in excel in other pc. the form which i create will be filled by my colleagues and they have to send it back to me.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some command buttons on a worksheet that I would like to disable, preferably make not visible, until a specific person logs in. I already have code to display worksheets, or hide them, depending on who is logged in. I would like to just add this code to the end of the login procedure, to make these buttons only visible when that person is logged in.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created an Excel template that the company sends out to suppliers to provide us with Quotations. I've added some VB in the Before Save module to prompt the user to do certain things. The problem I have is that I run another procedure that loops through a list of data and re-formats it using the template and therefore every time it tries to save a file the Before Save prompt pops up.

I know for a fact that he put in some formulas (but no macros) that reference a file only he has access to.
And, auto calculation, he leaves on.
I see the file open on one of the 3 sheets in it, but the hourglass never goes away, and when I Ctrl Alt Del, it says Excel is Not Responding.
Is there any way I can get this file to open so that I can fix it or transfer the raw data to a new workbook?

I have a file that contains Macros that I want to share with others. The only problem I have is that users have the right to enable or disable macros. If they disable the macro - some of the security functions could be lost.
Is there a way to create a macro that will not allow the file to be opened if they choose to Disable the Macros.
I have to open some woorkbooks via VBA disabling macros automatically (the reason of this is very hard to explain, my boss wants it in this way)
Does any parameter exist to add it to the woorkbook.open function? or any trick to do this?
I'm using Excel 2003 and recently when I open a file, it prompts out a Security Warning message about Marcros which at the end contains 3 choices: Disable Macros, Enable Macros, and More Info. I then click Enable Macros to open the file. Once open, I go to Tools > Marco > Run Marco (Alt+F8). A Macro box prompt out but the Macro list is empty. I try different choice inside the pull down menu "Macros in" but the Macro list is still empty.
Where can I find out the macro which triggers the warning message of Security Warning when opening the file? And how can I delete the macro if found useless.
What is the code to enable macros upon opening a workbook and avoid receiving the message "Security Warning-Macros have been disabled" in Excel 2007?

Is there a way to stop a spreadsheet from being opened/accessed if a user disables macros at the security prompt?
transferring data from a worksheet (Passdown Report) to another worksheet (Data Base) located in the same workbook. In the source worksheet (Passdown Report) there are 2 cells (B2 and D2) in which I would like the data to be transferred along with the data from B4 to AQ33. All the cells contain a formula which I want to stay after the information is transferred to the target worksheet (Data Base). This will be a daily transfer to the target worksheet (Data Base), so the macros should also identify the next available open row to transfer the data to.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having an issue with a worksheet that I created. Apparently, every time that I go to open it, it gives me a Grey blank screen. Yet, I know the worksheet is behind this Grey screen. I went to full screen and I can see the work sheet in full view, but it always opens in this Grey screen. I'm not sure why its doing this, no other worksheets open in this matter. I have tried reinstalling excel and it still didn't fix this problem. But it is only happening with one particular worksheet. I'm sure it is just a setting that I might have changed, but I can't figure it out. The file isn't corrupt because the macros still work, I tested them.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem to use the macro for opening a specific worksheet in a workbook. My plan to setup the workbook to open the first worksheet no matter which worksheet that was last saved and close.
What i have in mind is like below macros but it is not working.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Worksheets("Main").Activate
End Sub
Attached is the sample for the workbook. Test file.xlsm
Anyone who opens my sheet, has to feed his/her name which will be appeared in a particular cell.I am using the below code.

I wish to send a message when a worksheet is manually opened, but not when it is activated from within VBA.
The following code does not work, and I am open to suggestions
Private Sub Worksheet_Open() ....
I have the following code, which I use to open up a .xls file generated from Crystal Reports:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim fexport1 As String ' variables for the exported file
Dim fexport2 As String
Dim wb1 As String 'variables to change between the opened workbooks
Dim wb2 As String
strTemp = "Please Choose The Exported File"
MsgBox strTemp
fexport1 = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files (*.xls), *.xls)")
If InStr(fexport1, "False") = 0 Then
Workbooks.Open fexport1
wb1 = ActiveWorkbook.Name
Else
strTemp = "Operation Canceled"
End If
The problem is that Crystal Reports generates the file with an invalid worksheet name (it contains a backslash) and I do not have access to modify the Crystal Report. Althought the file can be automatically repaired by Excel when manually opened, the macro chokes and the "Application.DisplayAlerts = False" does not fix it. The only solution I can think of is renaming the worksheet without opening the file.
I would like the workbook to open to a specific worksheet everytime it is opened regardless of what worksheet it was in when file was saved. Can someone point me in the right direction?
