Get Macros To Open Embedded Documents

Jun 11, 2014

I am trying to create a macro to add to a button that will open an embedded document (word, PPT, and excel).

I recorded the macro and it works fine the first time I try to test it but after it tells me that there is an error...

I'm not exactly sure what to do. Unfortunately, I could not find what I needed on youtube

Error: It talks about the object being out of range and allows me to debug... the code that is in the developer is:

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
'
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Windows("Worksheet in Book1").Visible = True
Selection.Verb Verb:=xlPrimary
ActiveWindow.Close
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
End Sub

The Windows line is what it tells me to fix.. from there I am lost... Is it because I am trying to do a double clicking function?

Using Macros On Excel Object Embedded In PPT

Dec 19, 2005

Setup: I have a ppt presentation with several MS excel worksheet objects embedded.

Goal: I am trying to write a macro in ppt which opens an embedded object, then once it is open applies an existing excel macro that is in my personal excel book.

The code from ppt "record a macro" stops at ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes("Object 8").Select
ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange.OLEFormat.DoVerb Index:=1

How can i let it know that the active window is an excel sheet? and if i get there, can i run a macro once in?

Workbook To Open Only If Macros Are Enabled

Mar 29, 2009

I have created an Excel Workbook and this Workbook has a VBA code that enforces an expiry date of the workbook (TimeBomb from cpearson.com). So, if the expiry date has passed, the workbook will not open. But since it is VBA related, the expiry date will work only if one has enabled macros. If macros are disabled, the workbook will open regardless of the date.

So, is there a way for Excel to check if macros are enabled? and is there a way for Excel not to open the workbook, if the macros are disabled?

Can't Open An Excel Workbook With Macros

Nov 2, 2008

My son just upgraded my computer from 2000 to xp - a new application on a new hard drive. in the process, Excel was upgraded from 97 SR-1 to 97 SR-2.

My checkbook is on excel, and I really need to open it! We just moved to a new location, with the typical problems with email, internet etc.

I can open workbooks without macros. But I cannot open any with macros.

I get this message:
"Could not register the Visual Basic environment."

When that window is closed, the next one says:
"An error occured when initializing the VBA libraries (126)"

Open Workbook, Disable Macros

Apr 22, 2006

Is it possible to open a workbook via vba, but disable the macros? I know this sounds strange, but the workbook is coded to prevent users from saving it, and the only way to save it is to either open it with macros disabled or change the variable OKtoSave to true, but the variable is global only to the sheet and I can't find a way to change it through a macro written in my personal.xls workbook.

Change Name Of Worksheet On Open Without Macros

Aug 30, 2006

I'm trying to avoid using macros in my workbook, however, I'm unable to get my worksheets to change name (based on a named range) without use of them, as follows.

I've written the macro:

Sub MyMacro()
ActiveSheet.Name = Range("MyRange")
End Sub

and then dropped the following into the worksheet
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Run "MyMacro"
End Sub

This works fine, but I'm trying to avoid using macros. When I try to place the following script in the worksheet private code, nothing happens:

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
ActiveSheet.Name = Range("MyRange")
End Sub

Force Macros Enabled On Workbook Open?

Oct 28, 2013

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?

Open A Workbook And Run 1 Of 4 Macros Based On 3 Cell Values

Jul 30, 2009

I'd like to automatically run 1 of 4 macros depending on some criteria. Every workbook created has, unfortunately, the same worksheet name, so that leaves the only differences between the 4 possible loaded workbooks in the cells area and even those can be similiar in many ways. But....I found some criteria to separate all 4 workbooks...Here they are...

run macro 1 if this

1. Worksheet name says "Screen"
2. Cell H1 has the word "Lead"


run macro 2 if this

1. Worksheet name says "Screen"
2. Cell B1 has the word "records" somewhere in the cell
3. Cell H1 has the word "Lead"


run macro 3 if this

1. Worksheet name says "Screen"
2. Cell B1 has the word "records" somewhere in the cell
3. Cell N2 has the word "Delivered"

run macro 4 if this

1. Worksheet name says "Screen"
2. Cell B1 has the word "records" somewhere in the cell
3. Cell N2 has the word "Bevel"

I don't know if this can be done, but if so, that would be fantastic! I'm thinking that the macro would have to be "global" and in the user's personal workbook?

Compare 2 Documents

Jul 13, 2009

I receive a Weekly list; let’s call it “Doc1” with a load of order numbers in column A. I then have another excel document, lets call it “Doc2” also with order numbers in column B.

Is there a way to see if an order number in Doc1 already exists in Doc2; perhaps change the font colour to red for example (in Doc1 only)? I don’t want to affect Doc2 in any way I am not allowed to alter it at all.

Linked Documents Cell Changes

Feb 7, 2014

I have several excel documents all linked to one unique excel document which I will call document A.

Document A is a performance spreadsheet where I have percentages, sales figures and times, for my sales team.

Each sales person has their own unique dashboard (another excel document) that I am currently trying to finalize.

Their personal dashboards have pie charts with text boxes. The text boxes within the charts link up to their relevant cells in document A.

When Document A is open and I open 1 of the sales person's dashboards. Everything looks good and works, however.

When I close document A the dashboard information changes. For example, the dashboard information could be showing 25% but when I close document A it reverts to 0.25

If I close down the dashboard and open document A back up, change it to 30% then close it. The dashboard recognizes the change BUT reads as 0.30. This is the same with them all.

The only fix I have figured out is creating another tab in Document A then duplicate of all the information required for the dashboards then save the cells as TEXT (as opposed to currency, percentage etc).

This kind of defeats the object because I have formulas set up in Document A and don't want to be doing twice the work.

Formula That All Reference To Different Documents

Aug 15, 2008

I have 330 lines of formula that all reference to different excel documents. These files are donated by a 4 digit number. i.e. 4186.xls.

The main document that looks at these files needs to ability to acknowledge changes in the 4 digit number in its formulas and look at a different file if necessary.

EG. =sum("4186.xls"!E4:E5)

A very simple example of the formula i am using. I just need to actively change the 4186 that is in the formula to whatever is in the contents of another cell.

I might just be stupid. Infact, i admit i am no expert. That was my first =SUM formula actually.

Links To A File In My Documents

Aug 21, 2009

I have a template that I wish to distribute to others. It will link to a second file (also distributed by me) that will be in each users' "My documents" folder (or "Documents" in Vista). I currently have the template set to look at "C:" as that is common for everyone. Turns out that creates other problems. However, now each user's file location will be unique due to the path of their documents folder

Question, is there a robust way to automate the finding of the linked file in the template without having each user "relocate" it? Reason is the template will be updated frequently and I want to ease their pain by not making them go through this every time.
