I have an auto_open macro in my workbook that sets the workbook to FullScreen. However, it also makes existing open workbooks fullscreen. Is there some way that I can leave the previously open workbooks not fullscreen (i.e. so the toolbars are still visible)?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a VBA method that goes thru and calculates a bunch of stuff and puts this calculated info into a static data structure. This method is called 'setProjectInfo()'. This method is reliant on values on my worksheets, So as the user makes changes to the worksheet, I want setProjectInfo() to get called so it refreshes the data structure with updated information. I then have a bunch of helper methods to access different parts of this data structure. These helper methods are used in the formulae of a bunch of cells on a worksheet (ie '=getPercentComplete(period)', etc, etc).
This is all working well except for one thing. Sometimes the helper methods get called BEFORE setProjectInfo() gets called.. So, the helper methods return stale information. I can only get around this by manually recalculating the spreadsheet again. setProjectInfo() does enough stuff and takes a long enough time that I don't want to have to call it at the top of each helper method.
I've put the call to setProjectInfo() in a cell formula at the top of the my spreadsheet in hopes that Excel would know enough to call it first.. But that does not seem to work. Net, how can I get VBA to always call setProjectInfo() BEFORE it calls any other VBA methods?
I have this workbook that has around 12-15 worksheets. At present there is a formula that takes a arugument called "Calc". now it is set to automatic recalculate in the prefereneces. so whenever i change a sheet i have to then go to another sheet to where the calc field resides and just change the number to any number other then zero and immediately it calculates all the sheets in the workbook.
So now,I want to recalculate only one sheet at a time instead of all the sheets and also dont want to depend on the calc field of another sheet. So i made the preferences to manual and checked the box that says 'recalculte on save'. and also in the function gets () im replacling the calc to '6'. And for each sheet in vba- i wrote:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel. Range)
ActiveSheet.Calculate
End Sub
But when i do alt+s to save it just saves but does not recalculate. how do i make it recalculate when it saves..
I've created a UserForm which the user exclusively uses to interact with a workbook.
The problem is, if the user opens another workbook, it will open in the same Excel "Process" or "Instance" and the user would have to close the UserForm in order to use the other workbook they opened.
In VBA or some obscure application setting, is there a way to force workbooks to open in a new Excel Process (or new "Instance" of Excel)?
Another possibility would be to code something in the UserForm workbook that, on Workbook Open, would start a new separate Excel process....if that's even possible (can VBA execute a system shortcut or system command string?).
I need to set the "Sheet1" to be the sheet that always displays first, regardless of what sheet was active when last saved.
The reason is that I have a sheet with instructions on it as how to use the Workbook, including "You must Enable Macros" etc. When Macros are enabled, it's all good, as most people use a USERFORM which I have coded to set "Sheet1".Select and save their work upon closing using the USERFORM.
BUT when the advanced users modify other Sheets directly without using the USERFORM, and "SAVE" and then "Close" , the next time a user opens the Workbook (If they do not enable Macros) it opens to the sheet the advanced user Saved on. Thus killing my instructions page and putting the exact people I did not want messing around on certain sheets, on those sheets, fully bypassing the USERFORM created to avoid the problem.
I can force the workbook to switch to "Sheet1" and Save and Close, every time someone closes or EXITs, BUT I quickly realized when testing that any mistakes made are then permanent because you cant EXIT without Saving.
So. Is there a setting somewhere (Not Requiring Enabled Macros) to force a Workbook to ALWAYS open "Sheet1" first, regardless of what Sheet was last saved in the Workbook?
I'm posting a workbook on our network that I want to enable users to go in and update. I have the workbook designed, with entry fields for the data they need to enter, and they then push "Submit" to submit the new data to a hidden tracking log within the workbook.
Many of the users will be complete Excel newbies, and although I haven't posted the workbook yet, I am trying to anticipate possible issues. The first that comes to mind is that the user opening the workbook may not have macros enabled in their version of Excel, and they will get a message, and can't perform the udpate. Is there a way to add a Workbook Open event that automatically enable macros in the workbook when they open it, even if it is for this workbook only?
I have multiple buyers that use an Excel workbook containing several macros to perform edits on other workbooks they receive via email. Generally, they have the workbook containing the macros open, and they can double-click the workbooks they receive in the email messages to open them, and the macros are available from the "master" workbook.
Recently, however, some of the buyers have been getting new computers running Windows 8 and Office 10. Now when they have the "master" workbook open, and double-click the attached workbook in an email, (Outlook 10), the new workbook opens in a new instance of Excel, and as a result the macros are not available to run on the newly opened workbook.
The work around has been to right-click the attachment and save it to their desktop, and then use the File/Open command from the "master" to open the new file. This is a hassle and takes extra time.
I'm sure I am overlooking a setting somewhere that tells Excel to always open new workbooks using the same instance of Excel, (there are two people using the new systems that aren't having problems, and two that are), but for the life of me I can't find where to set these parameters.
The situation is that I have created a workbook in a network folder: xprojectsexcelclientAApril
umbers
The workbook links to a few other workbooks on the same network, but in the parent folder: xprojectsexcelclientAApril
The problem occurs when my colleagues have to updates the links in the main workbook, because they have not mapped the network drive in the same way as I have. The problem is NOT the prefix, but the fact that they have a more direct link to the network folder. My collages have mapped the folder like: xclientAApril
Is there a way where I can make the links in the workbook, so they don't depend on the entire string, but only on the fact that it is in the parent folder?
I want to have a fullscreen application all the time, so for this I've added to things in my code:
1) Application.DisplayFullScreen = True in Workbook_Open
2) Same in WorkBook_WindowsResize
I open my workbook, it goes fullscreen. Until now all OK. However, if I press ESC or doubleclick on the topbar, it goes out of it.
Now the weird thing: if I click the "Restore window" button (which is right under the application maximize button that incidentally I have disabled) it snaps on fullscreen and THEN it keeps this state forever, even on ESC/doubleclick. Which is what I want.
So my question is: what does exiting from fullscreen and going back in change so that the workbook event starts triggering, and how I can replicate it programmatically? I've already tried WindowState = xlNormal followed by xlMaximize, it doesn't change anything.
My workbook opens in Full Screen mode. Now, I don't want anyone to press the ESCAPE key to go back to Normal View. I have tried many different codes but for some reason I can't seem to get it to work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedApplication.DisplayFullScreen = True
I've just noticed that putting the excel application in fullscreen mode does not take into account the "working area" (i.e. screenheight - taskbarheight ). as such, the bottom area and "down scroll" button of the vertical scroll bar are covered up by the taskbar (2rows)...(they are behind is, and therefore not visible/accessible). without disappearing/hiding the bottom-docked taskbar, is there anyway to be in fullscreen and have the bottom part of the vertical scroll bar visible?
I have a fairly elaborate close-down routine for my workbook.
1) Quit out of fullscreen (restore initial state of excel before saving)
2) Hide all sheets but one (enforces cant do anything unless macros enabled)
3) Automatically save without a prompt
4) Close the workbook
I've researched it well and implemented it to the point where it works, but only if the user clicks the excel application close button -- the "X" in the titlebar (hence not in fullscreen).
However, if I launch the process via a userform button click, then for some reason the
DisplayFullscreen = False, Sheets hiding, and save codes have no effect (fullscreen persists, sheets are not hidden, no file is saved) in the Workbook_BeforeClose() subroutine....
I repeat: all the above works fine if process was launched by "native" excel button, but does not have any effect if launched from a userform commandbutton. (?!?!) any ideas what's going on?
I'm including my code so you can get an idea how it's structured.... by it's pretty "by the forum" as far as I can tell...
Private Sub CloseButton_Click()
If(1) Then
'Method 1 - close directly from userform command button
With ThisWorkbook
'.RunAutoMacros (xlAutoClose)
.Close
End With
Else
'Method 2 - set a timer to call a function to perform
' "ThisWorkbook.close" in a function outside of the userform
CustMenuCloseTimer = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 2)
Application .OnTime CustMenuCloseTimer, "CustMenu_CloseAction"

I'm trying to link specific data from one workbook to another. So from the demo I've attahced, I need all of the 3rd row "ATP BASIC SERVICE : 1" to be linked to another workbook.
So normaly I could copy the row, go to the other workbook, "paste special" and link it to a column.
The only problem is the "ATP BASIC SERVICE : 1" data will not always be on the 3rd row.
So i assume I would need to automatically search for "ATP BASIC SERVICE : 1" and if it is found, copy the column over to the other workbook.
