How To Launch At A Specified Time Without Someone Pressing A Button
Nov 30, 2007
Is it possible to launch Excel at a specified time without someone pressing a button?
I'm working on a network which has disabled Scheduled Tasks. The purpose of this request is to launch Excel in the early hours of the day so that a macro would run and update the data from a data source. The macro works brilliantly, but I without anyone in the office at 2am to open Excel, I need to find a way to launch it automatically.
Also, I don't have permissions to install programs or add-ins from the Internet. It doesn't leave me with many options, but I'm just wondering if there's a trick that has so far eluded me.

I have a button in a template file, that when clicked, saves the file as a new file with file name based on data in certain cells.
I want to disable the ability to save the file with the Save icon or Ctrl-S, but the button still needs to be able to save it (the button is technically doing a Save As, so no problem there). But, I, as the administrator of the template, need to somehow be able to save updates to the template file. Can this be accomplished by coding Save to work when used with a secret key combination that only I know (I can put it in password-protected VB code)?
Then, as if that's not tricky enough, the trickier part is that once the file is saved as the new file (no longer the template) - re-enable the Save button and Ctrl-S so the user can then save it as many times as they want.

I have developed a Userform button in Excel 2010 using the developer icons, which when clicked on with my mouse it runs my super dooper macro. It works great!
But one thing I want to have happen is to have the choice of using the Enter key to start the macro or use the left mouse button
For example, I place data in (say) cell A1 and the userform button is in cell A2. When I place the data in A1 and press the Enter key, the cursor moves down to A2, but doesn't highlight the user button. When I press the Enter key again, the cursor moves to cell A3.
What I want is when I fill in the data in A1 and press the Enter key, the cursor moves to cell A2 and selects the button, so that when I press the Enter key again, it activates the macro.

I have a lot of shortcuts to movies for my 5th grade students which won't work. I can launch direct file names but not shortcuts from within excel I can click on a cell to launch a direct file like this = "C:Program FilesOfficexpOffice10winword.exe" /n "c:mode.doc" but if C:modeSC.doc" is a desktop shortcut then it opens winword but not the document.
I get " document name or path is not valid" from within winword. But if I go to drive C and click on the shortcut, it opens winword and the ModeSC.doc which is a 1 KB shortcut.

how to record a value of a cell whenever F9 is pressed. The cell I want to record the value of is cell D101, which is a sum function of the previous 100 rows. I'd like to figure out a way to run 1,000 trials or so and record the value in cell D101 each time.
Some more details, if needed: I'm simulating a dice game (craps). There are 2 dice, each dice is based off of RANDBETWEEN (1,6) then the dice are added in a different column to achieve the roll. The payout is then based on whatever number was rolled. I'm summing the payout (D101) and would like to run this trial 1,000 times.

I have a formulas in Sheet1 linked to other sheets, but I have only formula and there are no sheets ( eg: in sheet 1 A1 =Data!A1) where as there is no sheet called Data. I have a macro to import this sheets from a different file.
The problem I am facing is, after importing the sheets, the formula still shows #REF but if I do double click the cell or press F2 and then "Enter" the value appears. I have about 1200 formulas in this sheets.

I recently upgraded to Excel 2007. I use Excel with "Allow editing directly in cells" unchecked. In previous versions, pressing F2 would not prevent me from using the mouse scroll, but in Excel 2007 I am unable to mouse scroll which makes it bothersome. Is there a setting somewhere that can enable mouse scroll after pressing F2?
this is a work product and we can't use VBA.

Is it possible to add a button to a spreadsheet that "self-destructs" after it is run for the first time? We have several files that compile the results of our testing and analysis that get sent off to various departments for their responses. I want the button to lock/protect the sheets/workbook, add several formulas and perform those calculations, and then delete itself upon completion so we can send the file off the respective department head for their response.
We already have the code for the formulas and to protect the workbook, just wondering about the self-delete part.

I want to know if it is possible to launch a blank notepad from an existing excel spreadsheet and then type relevant "history notes" into notepad and save.
I am creating a manual spreadsheet for the company I am working for which is being used for Maintenance Planning / Scheduling and creating of work orders. Once the work order has been raised and the job has been completed it then needs to be closed out on the spreadsheet and any relevant notes entered in. I am hoping to be able to have a link that opens notepad by the click of a button within the spreadsheet and it allows the user to record any notes against that work order and save. These notes can then viewed by future users.

I'm trying to resolve, and all my clues are leading me to the impression that using VBA is the only way to accomplish my task.
I am trying to integrate the ability to launch a program with command line arguments by clicking on a cell. More specifically, I'm trying to launch vncviewer, and point it to an IP address.
the command line would look like:
c:program filesultravncvncviewer.exe 192.168.XXX.XXX
The only text the cells will have in them is the IP address to the machine with which I would like to initiate a connection, and I'm hoping theres a way to automatically pull that information from the cell and run it in the command. Is there a way to do this? Better yet, is there a relatively simple way to do this?

Is there a way to minimize Excel when a userform is launched, so just the userform is showing? I've tried using "Application.WindowState = xlMinimized" in the UserForm initialization procedure, but it minimizes both the workbook/application and the UserForm. I can click on the Excel window on the taskbar and just the UserForm will display--which is the goal--but I'm hoping there's a way to do it automatically without needing to click the taskbar icon after it's minimized.

I have set the default in Excel to move across to the next cell after I press Enter. This is fine for most workbooks but I have a particular workbook in which it would be preferable (save keystrokes) for the cursor to move down one cell. Is it possible to have one action as the default but another for a particular workbook?

the title should read... pressing cancel in inputbox, continues the macro... In theory, pressing the cancel button should stop the macros, but it continues as if pressing ok button...

I'm looking to create a macro that launches a dialog box upon file launch. Based on the input, I want excel to only show the tab which corresponds to the dialog box entry.
For example, if it asks "What is your name?" on file launch and I respond "Alex"; i want the tab labeled "Alex" to only be shown for the user.

I've found the code below and tweaked to suit my needs but having trouble. Had it working one time. The code below calls a userform when the user double clicks on a cell. The form pops up and is not active/enabled. I cannot select anything on the form until I select a cell on the sheet, then everything on form becomes active/enabled.
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
'check cells for desired format to trigger the frmSel_WBS.show routine
'otherwise exit the sub
Dim NumberFormat, DF
NumberFormat = Array("[Blue]General")
For Each DF In NumberFormat
If DF = Target.NumberFormat Then
frmSel_WBS.Show vbModeless
End If
Next
End Sub

I have a workbook with a data entry sheet.
The name of the data entry sheet is 'Enter Data Here', and my employees will be filling in information in columns A to U.
I want to be able to accomplish 2 things.
1) When an employee opens the file, he/she is not able to edit any non-blank cells in columns A to U.
2) Employee is able to add data to a new row in columns A to U, and is able to edit this until they press 'SAVE'
Is this possible?
