I wrote a macro that runs perfect when started from my pc, but if started from a different ps which is logged into the same network it doesn't run, also the macro is stored on the server. I have a code in the private section of the workbook:
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Call FINAL End Sub
then the macro 'FINAL' is stored in the 'Modules' section and starts with:
Sub FINAL() 'this part opens the Edit/Links dialog from which the user has to choose the relevant model Dim Which_financial_model_contains_the_data As String ActiveWorkbook.ChangeLink Name:= _ "T:DEALSSSalsa (Project)Financial modelsProject Salsa Model - BASED ON SPONSOR CASE - b - 20061214.xls" _ , NewName:= _ "Which_financial_model_contains_the_data" _ , Type:=xlExcelLinks
I've been tasked with writing an excel spreadsheet that will compare A directory from a "Master directory" against another networked computer directory...
Master Directory R_PC1 R_PC2 R_PC3
[Code]....
So what were trying to do is have the table show us which pc has a file that either
1) Does not show up on the master 2) Matches the master file name but the file size is different 3) Matches the master file name but the time stamp is different (Show if its Newer or Older) 4) Shows up on the master but does not show up on the remote.
The amount of rows will be between 3000 and 5000 .
I have made a program using excel vba with userforms, however upon using it on another or any computer with the same version of Office(2007) i am getting a debugging error and highlighting any lines with the words "format" & "date" in the vba code.
why the Function & Property Get below is used to return the username and computer name when the Environ method does exactly the same in only two lines of code.
I would sooner use the Environ method but not if there is a valid reason why the function is used.
Option Explicit
Private Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" _ Alias "GetUserNameA" ( _ ByVal lpBuffer As String, _ ByRef nSize As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function GetComputerName Lib "kernel32.dll" _ Alias "GetComputerNameA" ( _ ByVal lbbuffer As String, _ nSize As Long) As Long
Public Property Get UserName() As String
Dim stBuff As String * 255, lAPIResult As Long Dim lBuffLen As Long
Is there a code available that can be used to get the user's computer ID number (Not Computer Name)? I'm using a password generator to randomly generate a password and I would like to use this unique password with the user's Computer ID.
I have a problem running an excel macro on different laptops because the IP needs to be known (my program links to databases that are installed on a "server" laptop). The IP can be sourced by using the "Start, Run, cmd, ipconfig" but my users can have problems with process.
Does anyone know of a vb function that will display the ip of the computer that the code is run on?
i am experiencing runtime error '6': overflow on one computer but not on another computer when it is the exact same file running on two different computers.
Here's the scenario. A co-worker and I access the same file from the same online database and download it in the same manner. We have the same version of excel. We then open these identical files, we run a formatting macro (identical), but when it comes time to set the page breaks in order to get the items to print on the same page I have to increase a columns width to make it fit on one page and yet it still doesn't match theirs. It appears to have a different scale but I'm not sure of the option difference between our machines. I don't know how it could be the printer since it physically gives her different page break option than what mine does.
I have a Age calculating formula in an excell cell, which calculates the age as on another date. The forumala is =IF(E4="","",IF($C$1="","",ROUNDDOWN(($C$1-E4)/365,0))) where E4 is the date of birth and C1 is the date in which I want the age calculated to be.
The above formula works very well on my computer, but does not on any other computer. If I access it from my sent items or from a shared drive, it works perfectly on mine, but not on any other computer!!! I get a #value error message on all other computers.
I have tried the foll: If i enter =ISNUMBER(C1) where the age has to be calculated, I get #Name? If I enter =ISNUMBER(E4), i get TRUE
The above is on the sheet where it does not work ( on others computer ) and i get TRUE for both on mine. Also both have the same date formats and same time zones...
I am having trouble with transferring a Macros to another computer. I have saved and sent the file via e-mail as a .xls and .xlsm to no avail and tried other methods of transferring the macros to the other computer. Also No I cannot copy paste the coding information to the other computer since there are multiple macros buttons since they are add one item and subtract one item from separate rows for inventory at a warehouse (about 100+ rows x 2 = about 200+ macros buttons).
I have few macros that I use to reconfigure a particular workbook into a sort of "developer mode". I keep them in a text file that I can paste them from when I'm working on it and then delete them before I send it out to other people.
I'd like to be able to script them so they only run if the workbook is open on a specific machine (namely mine). Is there any way to identify the specific computer a spreadsheet is being run on?
I want to transfer my Excel-icons. Some of them are custom buttons where I have added user-defined functions. Is there any way I can do this? A list of icons with their function or purpose is OK as well.
When it reaches Set wbdata it says subscript out of range. I'm not sure how it cannot recognise the spreadsheet I just created and that is open and working.
I've a workbook (XL 2003) test-1.xls, and I need to restrict it to a specific computer with ID: my-a1234567k
(shown under ControlPanel::System::Computer Name::Full computer name).
Is it possible to code such restriction in the w/b Open() event to prevent opening the w/b on a different computer?
My computers each has a different OS (Win 2000, Win XP Home, Win XP Prof ), different Excel version (XL 2000, 2003, 2007), etc., and the majority of my workbooks have been developed and would work only in certain environment (e.g.; in XL 2003 only, or XL 2007 only, ... ).
I'm running Excel 2007 with Windows Vista. I also have Excel 97, which I was told would not run with Vista. I've since discovered that many programs that I was told wouldn't run with Vista seem to work fine.
Is it possible to install Office 97 on the same machine with Office 2007?
I wrote some code that runs with no problem on my computer as well as another coworkers computer, but will not work on a 2nd coworker's computer. The "subscript out of range" error shows up at the point when the EMInput worksheet in the EMInput workbook is copied to the new workbook called "Out of Plane Section Cuts" (SEE BELOW). Is there an option in EXCEL or somewhere that could affect this. I don't see why you would get a subscript out of range error since the EMInput workbook is open....
I am attempting compile a list of files from my computer into a spreadsheet but I am not sure how to get the list in the first place--I have searched many, many websites and everyone directed me here...
In my restaurant we have a master computer upstairs that collects all of the register sales info. Then we have a computer downstairs that my employees sign in and out on.
This excel timesheet keeps track of the amount of labor hours being used per day. Is there a way of doing this without putting the timesheet on a web page or putting my sales info on a web page?
