I recall a few years ago that I located a program that allowed me to create an Excel spreadsheet and share it with others, but that locked the spreadsheet after a given period of time. I need to create a spreadsheet, but I want to put a time frame on it which requires users to request an access code from me every so many days. I don't want users in my business to be able to take the spreadsheet and use it should they leave the company. I know there was a subscription program that allowed me to do this, but I can't recall the name of it. It also allowed Excel to hide all of the formulas, even though the calculations worked.
I.e. it will only work for a specified time and requires the author of the script to renew it at a given point?
I want to be able to do this to strengthen my position as an independent contrator financially...and copy protect my work from unwanted exploitation
Some ideas: 1-MSG box requesting a pre-defined password to renew the time for the script to work along with contact info for the author
2-Ability to define # of days, months and or years the script will work
3-Ability to define the # of days, months and or years that a MSG box warning of pending expiration will appear
4Ability to define the # of days, months and or years that the renew will extend the use of the script with multiple pre-defined passwords allowing different lengths of time extention! Perhaps an encryption method allows you to in another excel sheet (say the comfort of your own home) generate at will a password that will extend a scripts life for 3 months?! They contact you again, and again you generate a "random" password that will extend the original script
5-Anti-hacking measures, using MS's built in security
This might be a useful way of extracting monies over time, for the use of a script you provide....pre-set
We have a spreadsheet on a server location with macros. Different users will access the spreadsheet from one pc on different shifts. Is there a way to set the area as a Trust Location for all users on the PC or enable the macros in the spreadsheet to execute for all users without having to set up the spreadsheet trust location or macros for each user? I would like to have the spreadsheet accessable to any user on the PC without setting up individual access. The users can change for shift to shift.
How do I make the column headings appear when I'm working on a large spread sheet so I don't have to scroll to the top each time to see where I am. This is on Excel 2007.
I have a spreadsheet on sheet 1 with a list of customers and their information. So on column A I have the customer number (i.e. k968, e37, p528,...), on column B i have the customer's name, on column C the street's name, on Column D the house number, on column E the zip code and finally the city on column F.
Right now there are around 600 customers in this list.
I have made a userform with a combobox in which I want to select an existing customer (pulled from the spreadsheet). On the same userform I have textboxes (customer number, name, street, number, zip, city). When I select a customer in the combobox, I want this customer's info to show up in the textboxes. I want to be able to change the info and hit Next to store the changes in the spreadsheet. When I do not select a customer from the combobox, I want to add new info in the textboxes and hit Next to store this info as a new customer. The userform also has a delete button. Then I select a customer in the combobox, this customer (and it's info) should be deleted from the spreadsheet when i hit Delete. So the spreadsheet is variable in length.
I need to run a vlookup to find some data. But I have a lot of data about 600,000 lines. Currently this list is spread over several columns (as the limit is something like 50000). How can I make my reference range access multiple columns?
I would like to know how to migrate an Access database to a spreadsheet, I do not mean Exporting.
More specifically, the migration is conditional. The spreadsheet only needs a few fields from specific tables in the database. It is basically a data dump, however, the magnitude of the amount of information that I will be handling will be far too time consuming and not within the scope of the budget to do this all by-- Exporting-->Copy-->Paste method.
Also, changes often need to be made "The night before..." so the macro will need to be able to ran possibly a number of times to update the additional data or changes in data.
In my research I have found a few snipets of VBA code from the MSDN website as well as some other websites, however none of it seems to be consistent with one another and ultimately results in it not working.
I have an Excel spreadsheet with a query to an Access table. The query pulls data from 2 columns in a table and pastes it to the spreadsheet. I am trying to update the VBA a little on one sheet and now I get the attached error whenever the code tries to run in Excel. Here is the code with the offending portion separated at the top.
I am trying to make a userform that will update a list in the spreadsheet. Basically if a user types into a multiline textbox numbers (separated by line) like so:
5 10 15 20
then the macro will paste that data at the end of a list so that each number is in a new cell. The only thing I have that comes close is Range("A1").value = listbox1.value The problem with this is that it will input the entire list into one cell. I have attemped various things, like trying to get the list into the clipboard and pasting, but I haven't really had much luck.
I have a raw of data consists of expire date. I would like the excel to control the first expire first out by highlighting the nearest expire date for each materials.
Note that for each materials there are several batch with different expire date. I want the excel to highlight to me which batch i should use first base on nearest expire date. And also highlight in different color if the batch had expired.
Example is attached. I had manually highlight suggest batch to use in yellow, and expired batch in red. How should i do it with formula? Perhaps with "conditional formatting"?
I have products that have a 3 year shelf life from date of package, I've got:
Col A: code of product. Col B: date of package. Col C: expiry date. Col D: I would like to construct an if statement which will state:
Condition 1: that if expiry date (Col C) is less than current date (today()) then to display "expired by x years, y months and z days" with reference to the current date - using pearson's DATEDIF formula:
"Expired by "&DATEDIF(C2,TODAY(),"y")&" years "&DATEDIF(C2,TODAY(),"ym")&" months "&DATEDIF(C2,TODAY(),"md")&" days"
Condition 2: that if expiry date (Col C) is greater than current date (today()) then to display "in date - x years, y months, z days left to expire" I'm unsure as to how to construct the second formula - as it will be a countdown date difference from the current date to the expiry date? Final if statement will be: If(C2<=Today(),formula for condition 1 as shown above,formula for condition 2)
I have an excel file with several worksheets and 1000's of lines of data.
Protection is already given courtesy of having to enable macros or sheets are hidden, and copying of data is not possible. It is however unfortunately possible to copy the excel file, therefore I would like to have code to to render the file inoperative if a date elapses. In addition since the file is password protected (as regards alterations - read only for others), I would like the clock to increment for example 7 days further every time the correct password is entered. In other words if the time period elapses simply entering the password will reset the clock and permit all users access for another week once the file is saved..
If you look at the file I attached you will see the tabs at the bottom are months of the year. I know how copy a sheet but every time I make a new month tab I have to retype the month in the top left corner of the table, in the tab, and other places. This gets really repetitive when I have to do this for literally around 20 other spreadsheets like this.
What I'd like is a way to create new month tabs that automatically rename the month and year in chronological order on the sheet and tab if possible. 2 months it's because I'm constantly having to tweak spreadsheets for my boss. It'd be pointless to go ahead and make a template because then I'd have to go back and change the code for every month. So I just create tabs and edit code month by month.
I have my Employees List in one Sheet and in another Sheet2 I want to Display those Employees Names and List whose Passport going to Expire in the dates entered in Sheet2 A1 and B2 Cell.
I need a front worksheet with either buttons or tick boxes that will list different options for a machine
Once a tick or push button is activated a hidden block of text related to that specific tick box needs to be selected and placed onto a final print out sheet (allocation)
when futher boxes have been ticked I would like all the information blocks to build up on the final print out sheet.
There are many examples and aspects to compare these 2 products but I just want to point one little difference which is quite crucial and interesting.
Generally if you use small amount of data - 1 Worksheet / 5000 rows / 20 columns you can use Excel without bothering about the execution time, queries and work fast and convenient with it.
The point on Excel is that in 1 Column/Row you can differently Format the data(cells). For example - format as Number or Hour the cells in Column B depending on the data in other columns. That saves you from making 2 Columns - one for Numbers and another one for Hours. This helps you to save 1 of the columns when the data structure in other column is the same.
In Access (and generally all SQL DBs) this is not possible.
I have an excel file which is shared by multiple users. I would like to make one person to have read,write or edit permissions and rest of the users to have only read only permissions.
I am trying to access another program via Excel VBA. The idea is that, we fill out out time and attendance sheets for work on excel workbooks. But, we have to go into a terminal program to enter this information so it can be uploaded to whereever it goes.
I am able to get the Shell command to work. But, it will be riddled with sendkeys commands and application.wait. I am sure that this is not the best way to program something like this. I believe I read that for this to work that it has to be COM compliant. I don't know. The program is a Java based terminal program.
This works for me
Code: ShellExecute 1, "Open", "C:UsersPublic******lib***_core.jar" But this does not
Code: CreateObject "C:UsersPublic******lib***_core.jar" It gives me a Run-time error 429, ActiveX component can't create object.
I'm running an Excel program such that the user inputs a variable. The program opens an Access database which is linked to the Excel sheet where the variable is stored. Access then runs macros containing queries based on that variable. I've noticed that the link to Excel is slowing performance and I'd like to speed things up, some code that would allow me to plug the variable into Access for use in the query without having to link to the Excel workbook.
This is a piece of the code I use in Excel which runs the Access macro:
Code: For iter = 1 To bottom_row - 1 If IsEmpty(MyMacro(iter)) = False Then Set AccessApp = CreateObject("Access.Application") With AccessApp
[Code].....
Everything works well as-is; it's just slower than I'd like. Due to other constraints I'd rather not go into here, I really am forced to use this kind of Excel/Access interaction. In other words, the user must use Excel to run an Access query.
I am trying to import database records into Excel, but i keep getting an error "run-time error 424" on the code below.
It is probably something simple, but i havent tried importing from Access to Excel before.
The code below should clear the data from "Existing" and then copy the data from test.mdb into the same sheet.
The error occurs when opening "Data Source"
Code: Private Sub Workbook_Open() Dim cnn As New ADODB.Connection Dim rst As New ADODB.Recordset Dim dbCommand As New ADODB.Command RowCount = Worksheets("Existing").Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row Worksheets("Existing").Range("A2:V" & RowCount).ClearContents
I am trying to open an access database from excel by clicking a button. I have assigned the following script and modified it for my own use as according to the microsoft kb.

I use Excel 2003 and am trying to import information from an access database. The recordset I am looking for is based on Cell B3 on a worksheet named Import.
Is there a way that Excel VBA Can do this?
The recordset contains text in the standard of Memos, Will I be able to import the entire Memo?
I have an acess database where I export the data into a blank excel workbook and then copy and paste the data into a report file. My goal is to automate this process and my first thought was to add a button into the access database and have it export to an excel template, but using/editing the access database is not an option, so, that leaves me thinking about automating this process from excel. Is it possible to export data from an access database into cell A1 of a tab?
I have created one Info path solution to gather information from different locations to one hidden Access database. And in last month or two I already have more than 30 000 entries in database. On other side I have created 2 excel workbooks, one for purpose of report that has all connection done through VBA, user just opens it, clicks button and gets report and one workbook that is for other set of users so they can change 2 specific columns of data, everything else is locked. When one department fills value it should fill based on gathered information, and clicks save that cell or cells are being locked.
At first I did on worksheet change event, when user changes a cell (enters information) it triggers worksheet_change event and saves that value in database and colours cell green. But, then users start complaining that when they use copy paste or the use fill paste option (just pull value from one cell to others) it does not save value. Ok ... that is because worksheet_change event does not trigger in situation when copy paste in any form occurs.
So how to solve it ... when pulling data in excel I pull identical table (data) in other hidden worksheet. When they change what they need to change, they click button "save to database" i have created and there is a macro that makes other sheet visible, goes through the records and saves where cell value in table that is being entered is different then same cell in hidden table.
Problem is that sometimes my code works without a problem and sometimes they get an error. I cannot figure out when. When a lot of users use that excel file, for some users it is a read only file, and as I presume that is ok, because macro works in any case and data are stores in database so excel file itself does not have to be saved.
I know that I can import data from access into excel. What I am looking for is a way to have the data linked so that any time that a change is made in access, that change will be reflected on my Excel worksheet.
I have about 180 Excel files (each one with 51 columns and around 30,000 rows) that need to be exported to an Access table.I'm using the routine below which is extremely time-consuming. I'm sure there is a better way to export an excel file to an Access table.
Sub ExportHistData() Dim rst As Object Dim cn As Object Dim i As Long Dim lstCell As Long Application.ScreenUpdating = False lstCell = [a65536].End(xlUp).Row If lstCell = 1 Then Exit Sub
I have the below code that will do a data dump of an access table into excel based on an SQL query, is there a way to do a select statement that can match against the data in column C on the spreadsheet.
like:
"Select * From Bsmart where Serial_Number = ##[EXCEL COLUMN C1:Lastrow]##
Code: Dim bkNew As Workbook Dim cnt As ADODB.Connection Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset Dim stCon As String Dim SQl1, SQL2, SQL3, SQL4, SQL5, varSQl As String
