Clearing Form Control Checkboxes Automatically On Opening Workbook

Save Data From One Workbook To Another Without Opening Workbook
Mar 1, 2013I have a spreadsheet that data gets exported to from a software program. There is information such as customer name, part number, inquiry number, etc that I'd like to use to develop a log of all my estimates I create for parts. I'd like excel to take the cells I select and insert them into certain cells in the other workbook and automatically save that workbook. This will create a log of all my estimates where I can then link the full estimate to the log. The information will have to go in the next available row. Is there any way I can accomplish this without having to open the other workbook and save the work book each time?

Opening New Workbook And Pasting Values Into Current Workbook?
May 13, 2014I am using the below code (i have combined different bits of code which i found on these forums) to open a new workbook, copy all the data in it and paste it into Sheet2 in the active workbook . Also, i want the data to be pasted on the next empty row as there is already data in Sheet2. The data that is being copied and pasted has the same format and it is going to be repeated many times.
The problem i am having is that it is not offsetting the data to the next empty row - i think it is a simple change but i can't seem to get there :s
Also, the code is currently selecting all of the data from the workbook that i open - is there a way i can select all of the data, excluding the first row (the first row contains the headings which i already have in Sheet2 in the active workbook).

Add Data To A Closed Workbook Without Opening It
Apr 10, 2007I found many examples on this forum of how one can pull in data from closed workbooks, or copy it and have it stored in the active sheet. So far so good, but I need a solution which would do the opposite - I need the macro to take a range of data form the active sheet store it in a closed workbook and save any changes in the target workbook without opening it.

Nov 24, 2004I amended the range with the code from the J.Walkenbach's book. However, the closed file "budget.xls" will be populated weekly with same columns but different number of rows.

User Form To Filter Data Into New Workbook
Sep 13, 2007I have an excel file with data in it.I also have designed an user form so that the user can select few options in that to filter the excel file and get a new file. The reason i am doing this is because the people who are going to use this do not have any knowledge of excel. In the sample attached, the tab "Data" has the data in it. The User form should filter this particular sheet and throw out a new file. In the userform, I have mentioned the fields to be filtered.

Opening A File Without Opening A Workbook
Apr 17, 2007I have a need to open a file from my companies intranet. My current method was to open said file via the method that the recorder gave me. However, I would like ot be able to open a said file without having to start open another workbook.
This is the path:

So the command is this:

Links are not actual links
So what I need to know. Is how can I open this file without opening a workbook. I haven't been able to use the VB "Open Statement" to open a file and I don't believe that I've been successfull using the Filesystem object either.

Opening In Different Workbook
Jan 6, 2007I currently have a workbook that, when opened, automatically kicks off a macro (with a call from the Workbook_Open event in ThisWorkbook). I was to run that same called macro from a custom button that I put on a toolbar in Excel itself...which is pretty straight forward. However, when I do this, the macro kicks off twice...once from the button and once because the called macro's workbook opens and kicks off the macro with the Workbook_Open event.
So, what I was thinking was...is there a way to tell if a workbook is being opened by another workbook (by calling it's macro) or whether is was opened "normally (manually)"?

View 1 Replies View RelatedAdd-in Opening A Workbook As Read Only
Feb 9, 2009I have created an Add-in for use across the business, the add in calculates financial impact based on figures that are stored on the shared drive.
The addin currently opens the workbook, and sets the variables to figures contained in the workbook - and then closes the workbook.
To roll this out to the business - I need to get the add-in to open the workbook as read Only, so that it will allow multiple users to access at once. I have set to open as read only in the past - however this prompts me to save the workbook as something else.
Is there any way I can get this to just open as read only, do what it needs to - and then close; without having the option to save as something else?
VBA - Opening A Workbook On A Network
Sep 29, 2009As above i have a macro which opens a workbook which is on a network drive. This works fine for my multiple users...however i have discovered that if they do not have the drived mapped with the same drive letter at the start...it will throw up an error advsing that the file does not exist. Is there any way to by pass this.
Ex - "TestFile.xls"
File is stored in "E:NetworkTeam1Testfile.xls"
However, some users have access to this file and it is mapped as E:, but some users have been mapped as F: The advisors who have been mapped as F: cannot access the file. Is the VBA/Macro smart enough to bypass the drive letter and just search the rest of the past...NetworkTeam1Testfile.xls".

I have working code to pull the information from a worksheet within the same workbook, but I can't seem to get it to work with an external worksheet. Can someone assist me in getting this to work?
I have attached my original code that works, so all I need to do is translate it to open the external workbook and worksheet instead of using the local worksheet. This is pretty simple right?

Re-opening A Read-only Workbook
May 25, 2007I have a workbook which has a macro to loop round refreshing its data every half an hour and each time the refresh is performed the file gets saved. This file is opened by one user in the morning, and left open with the macro running to carry out the refreshing throughout the day. This workbook is then also opened by a number of users as read only who interrogate (but do not update) the data in the spreadsheet as part of their work. Periodically, they close and re-open their copy of the workbook to ensure they have the most up-to- date version open.
To let them know when a new version is available (i.e. when the refresh has been performed and the file re-saved), I have some code which compares the last saved date/time of the file they are using with the date and time of the file they loaded the file from, and displays a message when they values are different. I have, however, been unable to develop a macro which properly 're-loads' the workbook. I have been able to get the file closed and the latest version opened (through a 'ThisWorkbook.Open' statement). However, when the new version susbsequently opens, none of the open events are triggered, nor is the Auto_Open macro executed. This is a major problem, as the spreadsheet relies on this processing being performed for the file to properly work. (I know that macros are enabled (I get the 'enable macros' prompt in the course of the updated version being opened, and can run macros once the file has been opened).)
