Have Code To Block Save But How To Keep Code In Workbook Without Saving The File
Aug 1, 2013
My company has files that are already in use. I don't know too many details about how they work, but somehow saving the file will screw it up and my boss has to go back and reset something or other to correct it. Obviously it's connected to some other software somewhere. The code below will block Save and Save-As. BUT how do I get the file to hold onto the code without actually saving the file after the code is added (since the file shouldn't be saved)?
VB:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
If SaveAsUI = False Then
Cancel = True
[Code].....

if someone would review the code below and tell me why it does not cycle an autosave more than once. It is supposed to autosave automatically every five minutes but for some reason beyond me it does not. I did not author this but picked it up in a different forum.
Option Explicit
Public vartimer As Variant
Const TimeOut = 1 'set in minutes to whatever amount of time is desired
Sub Timer()
vartimer = Format(Now + TimeSerial(0, TimeOut, 0), "hh:mm:ss")
If vartimer = "" Then Exit Sub
Application .OnTime TimeValue(vartimer), "SaveOpenWorkbooks"
End Sub

I have a file that I want to name based on content in certain cells. I.e. "Q-(text from cell G1)-(text from cell B7)-Date(mm_dd_yy)". I want to be able to specify the location where I save this file each time I try to save it, but I want it to update the file's name if any of the parameters have changed.
I have some code generated that does just about everything right except that it automatically saves a version of the file in the folder where the original is located even though it also brings up the dialog box and allows me to save it in another location.
Basically, I want to fix the code below so that it doesn't save what appears to be a backup file each time. Should I be using some sort of savecopyas?
Code:
Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
'Add the quote # to the header
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightHeader = "Quote No. " & Range("G1").Value
[Code].....

Adding some additional code to prevent someone from saving the workbook under a different name. Currently if someone tried to enter data after the allotted time period, it would allow them to in any "unlocked" cells. When exiting or trying to save the file with this new data, they will get a message stating something to the effect that this is a read only file would you like to save as another name, which would allow the user to circumvent what I'm trying to accomplish. The end result would be they'd need a new spreadsheet.

I have a workbook with lots of code to automate several things that I do. It does a great job at doing things I need it to do, but it takes foreeeveeerrr to save the workbook. The code has made the workbook a large file, and it takes a few minutes to save it. Is there a way to skip saving the code everytime you open the workbook. I don't ever need to change to code so I don't need to save it every time.

I have a spreadsheet where I want to require certain fields to be completed then I want to have that file auto emailed. I have learned that I do need to have the file saved before sending otherwise the data will not appear in the email, so with this I want to have the file temporarily saved emailed then the temp file deleted.
Here is the code I have so far but it errors on the blue text, I did change the TempFileName from = "Copy of " & wb1.Name & " " & Format(Now, "dd-mmm-yy h-mm-ss") to = [C16] & "_" & [B6] & "_" & [D6]
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
If Range("B6").Value = "" Or _
Range("d6").Value = "" Or _
Range("f6").Value = "" Or _
Range("E9").Value = "" Or _

I'm trying to find a way to save a single sheet of an excel workbook and in the same process delete all vba code and shapes from the new single sheet workbook. I was looking around and found this code which does save only the single sheet to a new one sheet workbook but doesn't delete the vba and shape that I have used to assign macros to in the original.
Code:
Sub SaveSheetAsNewBook()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim InitFileName As String
Dim fileSaveName As String
Dim wshape As Shape
InitFileName = ThisWorkbook.Path & Format(Date, "mm.dd.yy")

I have a code that saves my worksheet once it closed. At the moment it saves the Active worksheet which is Sheet1
The problem i have is i have a few vlookup formulas that reference hidden worksheets Sheet2 & Sheet3
Would it be possible to modify this code so it saves the entire workbook?
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Dim bk1 As Workbook
Dim bk As Workbook
Dim myfilename As String
myfilename = "C:files" & Range("B10") & " - " & Range("J10") & ".xls"
Set bk = ActiveWorkbook
Set bk1 = Workbooks.Add(Template:=xlWBATWorksheet)
bk1.Worksheets(1).Name = "Sheet1"
bk.Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy _
bk1.Worksheets("Sheet1")
On Error GoTo 0
bk1.SaveAs Filename:=myfilename, _
FileFormat:=xlNormal, _
Password:="", _
WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, _
CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWindow.Close
End Sub

is it possible to use code to save a workbook? I know this is pretty basic, but for the life of me, I cannot answer this question searching the entire website and forums.
I'm currently creating what could be called a "yearly timesheet" for a small company and trying to automate it as much as possible. I've created several buttons along with input boxes to create the data, now I would like to make two more, one to save the worksheet (preferrably using data from one cell as the workbook name) and a second to send the workbook to the local, default printer. I've come across the topics on stopping Excel from automatically asking the user to save it, etc etc but none along the lines of "this is how you create a button that if clicked, saves the workbook."

I want o write a vba code for below: I want to download and saves a list of webpages (and contents like images, animated GIFs, sounds, videos,...) as MHT Files (1 MHT file for each link from the list). In the below files there's an example of how it should look like.
Links
[URL]
I am familiar with the URLDownloadToFile function, but it doesn't download the webpage's contents. What I need is something like a URLDownloadToMHT function that downloads the entire webpage and its contents and packs it into a MHT file. The MHT file, obviously, needs to link the content files locally for offline browsing (I don't know exactly how a MHT file works, but what I mean is that src="http://www...file.jpg" should be replaced by src="file.jpg", something like that)
I am also familiar with softwares like WinHTTrack, that do something similar(with HTML files), but I think the downloaded files get too messy and disorganized, that's why I need something simple like MHT files saved in a folder of my choice. I need this Excel file to work in any Windows XP/Windows 7 computer, without dependencies from other files like third-party dll's or any other files.

I want is a Macro that will save the file as .csv, with the same filename and location as the original (just in csv format). A hotkey would be quite handy for this. I tried using the macro recorder and fiddled around with the code a bit but my programming knowledge is quite limited and I ended up with something that doesn't quite work as i'd like. I'm sure this would only take a few seconds to code for an experienced user, which is why I post here. I would post my attempt at doing it myself but i'm on a computer that doesn't have excel at the moment.

I'm trying to make a vba that would save the file with the end date that will reference to a certain cell that user selects it. Working Sheet is a name of a File, and Current Sheet is a name of the panel where user will select the date.
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= WorkingSheet("Control Sheet").Range("D3").Value & Format(Date, "yyyymm") & ".xlsm", FileFormat:=51
But here i seem to missing the location
And I tried this one:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="X:Work2014WorkingSheet& Format(Date,"yyyymm"). & ".xlsm" _, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
but it keeps popping up as 'expected end of statement' for yyymm?

3) save that range as a text / xml file with a filename derived from a cell outside the given range
Here is where I have got to so far, but it fails

I have been out or writing code for a long time and my experience prior to that is very limited.
Rows "H" and "I" may contain the same words, "H" will be only one word, "I" will contain a string of words w/ the first word matching the word in "H", eg.
H6 = "Alien" (w/out "")
I6 = "Alien W. A.V.E (w/out "")
I would like to put a block of code that evaluates H6 to I6 and if they match then delete the first word and the space in I6.
This would be done over the range of H6:I and the last cell populated in "I".

I have developed a database that is ported to other computer systems. My problem is that I have to hard-code the filename into the VBA code to identify the correct Application Object. I found that if I have activated another spreadsheet and run the code, it performs the actions on the wrong spreadsheet.
So my question is, is there a way to get the VBA code to automatically associate itself with the file in which it resides? That way, when I move the file to another computer, it knows what .xls file to use as the "Application Object".
here is what I have now (I replaced the actual paths with {x pathname}):
fname = "FCS Hardware Inventory - Cat Rev E - Ver 2.3.xls"
'fname = "FCS Hardware Inventory - Includes IVA Cat Rev E and JCPC - ver 2.3.xls"
'fname = "FCS Hardware Inventory - Cat Rev E - Ver 2.3 - for distribution.xls"
Set xlapp = GetObject("{1st pathname}FCS Hardware Databases and Catalogs" & fname)
'Set xlApp = GetObject("{2nd pathname}" & fname)
'Set xlapp = GetObject("{3rd pathname}" & fname)
Set xlapp = xlapp.Application
When I copy the file to another location, I manually uncomment the correct fname and xlApp name... a real pain, especially if I share this with a large community. I don't want to have to teach everyone how to do this every time!

I have numerous spreadsheets that I need to open and unhide a sheet, that has XML data stored in cell A1. What I need to do is copy that data in cell A1 and paste it into a text document and save that as an XML file saved as the XLS workbook name with a date stamp.
I'm running into many issues, the main issue is the saving as current file name, and the formatting of the text/XML file.
Here is my current code, which doesn't reference the current file name and is just very generic. Once I get the saving as file-name correct and the formatting of the xml file correct, I will work on it a bit more.
Code:
Sub Test()
Dim Rng As Range
Dim wb As Workbook
Set Rng = Range("A1:A2")
Set wb = Workbooks.Add
With wb
Rng.Copy
