Jun 29, 2014
I tried to open excel file from shared drive but it's pop up
"File in use" xxxx.xls is locked for editing by XXXX, Open 'Read-Only' or click 'Notify' to open read-only and receive notification when the document is no longer in use.
I din't know how to insert the picture so that I wrote everything.
It happens almost every time even if file has not opened by any one. how can I stop it? Version: Excel 2010. OS Name: Microsoft windows 7 professional.

I am getting a message, the Excel file i am opening (xlsm) is locked for editing by 'another user'. But, NOT SO, of course; i am the only user logged in to this PC, and there is no network access. I quit Excel and verified that i see no Excel processes running. But, when i try to open the file, i still get the "locked by 'another user'" message, and at this point can only open read-only. I looked in the folder the file is in and do not see any of those ~ files or anything else suspicious.
So, what do i do? How do i "unlock"? How can i open this file once again to make modifications to it?

I recently added two excel files to my startup, I receive the file in use error that the personal.xls is locked for editing box when the second file starts to execute. I can open them separately using their icons with no problem, what's the problem with opening them using the startup function. XP professional version 2002 SP2.

I have an application that I made for a company. the editing is locked on each tab except for the blanks for people to either check mark a box or fill in the space provided for an answer to each question. There are around 30 tabs. Sometimes i open already completed applications since most of the answerer will be the same. My question is. is there a way to select say 6 tabs and clear out all the data that someone had typed in (check marks, answers in space provided?)

I have a simple macro that's in my default Excel startup file (Personal.xlsb - located in the folder C:Documents and SettingsUsernameApplication DataMicrosoftExcelXLSTART).
The problem is when I try to open two instances of Excel (not create a new workbook). I get the error message "Personal.XLSB is locked for editing."
I've look at other threads that talk about adding the macro as an "Add-In" (Personal.xlsb and multiple Excel's), BUT my problem is that I want to assign the macro a keyboard shoutcut (currently set to ctrl + shift + v).
I don't know of a way to assign an add-in macro a keyboard shortcut.

I have a workbook with a tab for each day of the month. This workbook is placed in a shared file and used by various yards in different locations. A new yard beginning the process is refusing to use it because due to formulas we must lock the workbook (contains many formulas and a live clock macro to track trip time) and they cannot sort A-Z. The sheets are labeled 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and so on to 31. I know that you can write a Macro to allow sorting, but I cannot get it to work. the users CANNOT know the password due to hidden revenue etc. and formulas.

I am having this weird problem. The work laptop I received with excel 2010 does not allow me to use the vertical arrow keys when navigating through multiple lines when editing a cell. When editing the cell and I press the up or down arrow key, instead of moving to the next line within the cell, the cursor moves to the next cell. Is there a way / an option to have this fixed?

1.I need to protect certain locked cells from editing and allow certain unlocked cells to be changed on multiple worksheets.
2.When all of the changes are made to the unlocked cells, I need to password protect the entire workbook (except one worksheet) from any changes. (i.e. Prevent even the unlocked cells from being edited)
3.I also need a password to un-protect the workbook and return it to the state described in # 1. above .

Using Excel 2010
As I am looping through files in a folder, I would like to determine if the file is a text file.
The problem is that all extensions are variable in a pattern such as .078, .051, etc.
In this instance, the extensions are numeric, but I'm trying to figure out a way to handle that is all encompassing to include *.txt, *.tsv, *.csv, *.prn, etc......
How can I handle these efficiently?

I have a .txt file created in Notepad and it contains a 4 digit number (Job ID). I am recieving the dreaded "Bad File Mode" (#54) error when writing back the file.
I would like to OPEN it as R/W locked, read it, increment it by 1 and write it back. Am perfectly willing to create the .txt as non-binary if that is causing the issue.
Dim jinChar As String
fileNumber = FreeFile()
jinFP = "JIN.txt"
Open jinFP For Binary Access Read Write Lock Read Write As #fileNumber
Input #fileNumber, jinChar
jobIDNumber = CInt(jinChar)
jobIDNumber = jobIDNumber + 1
jinChar = CStr(jobIDNumber)
Write #1, jinChar
Close #fileNumber

I have two CSV files that I would like to edit through Excel VBA. Both files have too many lines to be shown in Excel though, so I can't just use cell rerences. Every so many lines I want to delete a row and insert a row from one CSV file to the other. I could easily write a loop do this with cell references, but since all the lines aren't shown I can't do that. I have no idea how to reference all the rows in the CSV file with VBA when most of them aren't viewable on the worksheet.

I have an Excel 2010 workbook that is fairly slow to open (10-15 secs) because it is rather formula heavy. This workbook is opened by quite a few different people every day. What I would like to do is to open the file overnight using windows Task Scheduler and to update the file (using a workbook open event macro) and then for the rest of that day whenever the file is opened the formulas do not update until overnight the next day (and so on and so on).
I thought maybe toggling the Calculation Manual off/on? Would this be the best tactic?

Isn't there a checkbox somewhere where I can tell Excel 2007 to leave xls files as they are? My Excel 2010 doesn't urge me to save an old xls file format into xlsx but in Excel 2007 I can't find a switch (and I don't rememeber if I had to do anything in 2010). So ultimately I want to stay in compatibility mode when using old files.

USING EXCEL 2010
I am trying to record a macro where the last step is to SAVE AS the file. I want it to use the current date as the end of the file name.
i.e.
Daily OST -- 2012-08-10
Daily OST -- 2012-08-11
Daily OST -- 2012-08-12
etc...
This is what is currently in the macro but all it gives me is the first part "Daily OST --". How to fix?
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"Y:ProjectsProgram ManagementPIODaily ReportsDaily OST -- " & DateString & ".xlsx" _
, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False

I have a file that is on a server. When I open it on my excel it opens an old version of it and not the newest copy. If I open it on a coworkers computer, it does open the correct newer version. How do I change this?

A user in our company has a document on a shared drive in our domain. It's using the protect feature which means that you'll have to type username/password before you're allowed to edit the document. The problem is that users who only want to view the document will cause it to lock, and then you can't edit it before they close it.
I thought that sharing the document would solve this issue, but when I tried to it said that Visual Basic features would not work which basically makes the document useless so that's not an option.

I am an extreme novice to using macros.
I used the 'record macro' feature to create the following: I created a rectangle box on sheet1 of NEW TEST.xlsm to link to the macros incidated below. Niether macro moves on after reaching the Workbooks.Open statement.
I am at a loss. Is there something in Excel that needs to be set? Is there something else that I need to do version of Excel is 14.0.6129.5000 (32 bit) MS Office Professional Plus 2010
What I am trying to accomplish is this: From 'NEW TEST.xlsm', open an excel file on the network, add a new sheet to this network file, calling it 'Pivot'. Then create a pivot table in this new sheet from the data in sheet data1 of this same network file. Then move control of macro / processing back to the NEW TEST file. Eventually I will do more, but for starters, I cannot even get the macro to add / name a new sheet in the network file.
[SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]PS I have attached the NEW TEST.xlsm fikle as we as the data file. NOTE: the data file has been reduced to one day's worth of data, to to the upload file size.Also, my Excel Trustred locations has "Allow trusted locations on my network" checked, and the network location to the data file in trusted user locations.
VB:
Sub Open_Add_Sheet()
Dim filename, filelocation As String
Dim wb As Workbook
filename = "11 Nov, 2013 GDO AHS Agent Productivity Report.xls"
filelocation = "R:acharukAHS ReportsGDOGDO CSR ACTIVITY Report2013" & filename
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(filelocation) '
' Open_Add_Sheet Macro
[Code]....

I run excel 2010... I have xls file (see file attached) with both English and Non English characters.
When I save this file as xls or xlsx - everything is good, but when I save the file as CSV and try to open it later - I see that the English characters stays the same but the non English characters become gibberish.
How can I save a file (that include some non English characters) as CSV without loosing the non English characters? Is there a way to do that from within the excel 2010 menus? Or maybe there is an external tool?

I have a workbook with several sheets with formulas, etc. one of the sheets its like a "resume" of the workbook. I want that sheet with the "resume" to be visualized by other person's without giving the access to the workbook.
The idea it's a file with linked data with the workbook that have the sheet with the "resume". When I change some data in the workbook the file with the linked data must be updated when someone open it and cannot edit, it is just for visualization.

I'm using Excel 2010. When I go into the Excel Options, to the Save option and try to type in a specific network drive in the Default File Location: box, I click OK and then it doesn't save the changes. I close Excel down all the way and then restart a new Excel session and it keeps going back to "LibrariesDocuments..."
It doesn't seem to be just related to Excel...having the same issue in Word and Access 2010 as well.

I have a technician who sits a desk over, has the same brand of computer running the same Windows 7 and the same Excel 2010, but when he opens a particular file the page layout or print area seems to change so that the sheet is partially cut off. All his options appear the same. I can open this file on other computers and it seems to be fine...
I notice that the Margins under Custom Margins are different and this would explain the problem but not why it occurs. It's a file I created and saved and he opened. Why would the margins change? Is this one of the Microsoft cross platform / program deals where if he changes the print set-up or page layout in WORD for example, it changes them in EXCEL?

Excel 2010.I'm using this code to print user's accessing a file:
[Code] .....
However as someone could just delete the printed user log in the Sheet2, and also you can't use this if you protect the sheet, which defeats the purpose.
I want it to print the log into a separate file. Can I add in the file path/name to this code somewhere?

I have an Excel file in Shared Mode...
Now, when it starts, I have a popup form asking for password for access for it. The problem is that for one person - AND ONLY THAT PERSON - the VBA Editor window opens and she has to press the "Play" button for it to hide and be able to enter the password to access the application.
The editor is not showing on any other computer. All computers are running Excel 2010.
