I have a master file which users are able to open via read only or go in via password to edit.
I'm not too bothered on the read only users more on person's entering the file via password, making any changes and then saving those changes.
Is there a way to trace what changes they made and would their name be saved as the new "author" of the file?
Is it possible to write vba code that will generate a text file with ALL changes that were made to an excel file. Ex. If Cell A17 = "Monday, June 4, 2012" and a user updates Cell A17 to "N/A", I would like to know what the value was before and after the udpate was made.

When opening a new Excel file, it is asking me for a password to an old excel file that was password protected, which I have deleted from my computer. It is still asking for this password every time I open a new or existing file. When I hit cancel it lets me open the file.

I already know about eliminating unnecessary pages, and I've cleaned up defunct modules, etc., and anything else that's just clutter.
The Row & Column thing would be a big help.
I work for an environmental company and we do emission testing. We specifically use the analysis software CEMsoft and ProRATA. After each test/run we get a text file (.txt) that we print out which then has to put into a specific pre-made excel data file.
I am wondering if there is a way to export the data from the .txt file and into the specific fields within the excel sheet. Can I encode the .txt or excel file to do it for me? Trying to eliminate the need to manually put in the data from the printed out sheet.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have excel vba code to open .xls files on my server. Files to open are chosen by the user via a UserForm within my app, it shows them all their files in their directory on my server. How can I open their files (.xls) that they select but DISABLE the VBA from being able to run/execute, if they have any attched to the file?
I now have all code in place to open the file no problem, I just need to know how to disable the VBA part from being "turned on" when the file opens.
I run a macro which runs saves the active file to a different location to ensure that I retain the original like so -
If ActiveWorkbook. Name = "KEY_DATA_CFT77" + ".xls" Then
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"H:HOME imcEXCELKEY_DATA_2006KEY_DATA_2006_01KEY_DATA_CFT77_01.xls", FileFormat:= _
xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:=False _
, CreateBackup:=False
End If .................................
Pls see below codes, the codes can record down changes made "from" and "to" and put on the "Log" sheet, however it is unable to capture the original values when I first open the file and make the changes.
Also, how can I put the value of "Now" in column B?
Code:
Dim PreviousValue
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Value PreviousValue Then

the small code i'm writing just needs to do the following:
1. open an .xslx file selected by the user
2. copy 2 worksheets from that file to the current one
3. close the selected file without saving it.
This is my code:
VB:
Sub GetData()
MsgBox ("Please select a file"), vbOKOnly
Master = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xlsx), *.xlsx", Title:="Please select a file")
[Code]....
Opening the file works, but the last 3 lines don't because i don't understand how to declare "Master": however i dim it (workbook, object, variant...) i get an error on the GetOpenFilename line. If i don't declare it, i get an error while trying to copy the worksheets.
The Macro asks the user to point at the location of a report, it then copies information out of that report and pastes it into a master sheet. The part I am having trouble with is closing the file that data has been copied from.
I have tried different things to close it such as
can group all opened file in 1 excel tab instead if many tabs?
open thru window the file u want...

I was working on a tax file yesturday, just a long long list of receipts. and the file is password protected. However, I went to open it today, and I get a message that says: "Filename.xls cannot be opened. the file may be read only, or you may be trying to access a read only location. Or, the server the file is located on may not be responding."
It's on my USB Drive. I've tried copying it to my HD so I can play with a copy, but no dice. When I try that, I get another error message, : Cannot copy Filename.xls. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. I've tried the various fixed suggested in the excel help files to no avail. I did a search on the forum, but didn't find anything that seemed to apply or help me. The computer I'm trying to open it on has Office 2003, the one I most recently worked on the file on has office XP. Not sure if this was a source of the problem. Doesn't seem like it should be. Hasn't been in the past. I'm not even getting to the dialogue box asking for my password yet.
