Sep 11, 2007I have a speadsheet, and at the moment, another spreadsheet access it via a vb code. but i have 3 - 5 agents needing it sometimes at the same time. All that happens, is the agents excel sheet passes some info to the server sheet, so the vb codes opens and closes it. So only one person can do it at the same time.. but i need this so anyone of the agents can enter info via the vb code.
When i tested it, it asked me when i opened it, if i wanted to save what the last person did, I need that not to come up, so really its like the sheet is always open, but not... and lines are added. The info is added to the same sheet, and line by line.
Share With Multiple Users Allowing Macros
Oct 9, 2008I have a workbook that I would like to share and allow multiple users to add and make changes at the same time. However, the workbook is full of macros that really need to run. Is this possible? The workbook is written in excel 2003.
If this is not possible then is it possible to share the workbook in a similar fashion but not allow any other users to make changes, but update their workbook with the changes that I make?

Also provide me an alterante solutions if any
Share Workbook With "Allow Changes By Multiple Users" Code
Aug 8, 2007Although i am using VBS, the coding should be similar. I am looking for all Excel files in a folder (WORKING) and determining if they are shared, allowmultipleusers, (WORKING). The problem I am encountering is changing the Excel workbook to a [SHARED] workbook. By that I mean Multiple users can open and make changes. What is the syntax to enable that? As an FYI I can save the [SHARED] workbooks as exclusive (normal), but not the reverse. I have tried Saveas,,,,,,xlshared, but is not working. Here is the VBS code I have (For grins)
Const APPLICATION_DATA = &H1a&
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
'Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace("L:Shared Services Stock Rotation ReviewRotations for Review")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace("C:Documents and Settingsmhast14DesktopRotations for Review")
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application") ..............
Share A Toolbar That Calls Macro From An Add-in
Mar 14, 2008I have created some macros that need to be used in several workbooks by more than one users, so I put them in an add-in and gave them instructions on how to get the add-in. I also created a toolbar with buttons calling those macros, attached it to a workbook the users can open, and instructed them to open that workbook once to get the toolbar.
Both the add-in and the toolbar workbook are on a network drive that my users can access, but when they get the add-in, it gets copied to their own add-in folder.
Here's my problem:
When a user tries to click on one of the buttons in the toolbar, the button tries to call the macro using the path that would be valid on my computer to get to my add-in folder. This path includes my user name, so it doesn't go to their own add-in folder: it goes to my add-in folder on that computer if I ever logged in on that particular machine, or it goes nowhere.
When I created the button, I attached the macros by referring to the add-in workbook by name only, without referring to a path, so I don't know why MY path ended up defined on that toolbar.
How can I go around this? I manually relinked all the buttons for that user, and I can do it for the other users (there aren't that many users nor that many buttons), but I'd rather avoid it: I'll have to re-do it if the toolbar is updated and it just seems like more work than should be necessary.
I'm also opened to suggestions on a better way to share those macros. They can't be attached to the workbooks because we use new workbooks every year - they're emailed to us by the people who create them and for a variety of reasons, pasting everything into a workbook of our own is not a good option.
Multiple Spreadsheets Share The Same Macro
Feb 3, 2010I currently have a macro that can be used by multiple spreadsheets. Is there that I can execute the macro within any specific spreadsheet without saving it in each spreadsheet. I just want to place it in a general spot so that in case there is modifications, I only have to change it in one place.

May 4, 2007I created a macro in VBA that pops up a calendar with keyboard short cut and places the date in selected cell. It works great on my pc. I can't share the macro with anyone. I saved it as an add-in...installing the add-in did nothing. Then I saved it as a template...the template did not open with any macros associated. both cases, no errors. no message to enable to disable macro.

Save Macro For Multiple Users
Apr 6, 2009When saving a file, you get a popup with a suggested path. I need to find a macro that will either offer a suggested file name based on a cell's date value (a1) and a suggested path (to the desktop) for any user that uses the spreadsheet - or simply will save the file using the cell value as the name to the user's desktop.
Each user will have their own version of the file, to save to their own desktop. The macro will need to overcome the issues that each user's path to their desktop will be unique since each will have logged in to the window's session with their own profile.
Macro That Allow Users To Delete An Entry
Jan 4, 2009I am in need of a macro that will allow users to delete an entry in a named range as well as delete a range named the same. I would like the macro to open a list showing the contents of a range named "Locations". Once opened the users may select a name from the list and click on a button to remove that item from the named range. the macro can then delete the cell that name is in and shift the remaining cells up, changing the range. Second the macro should delete a named range that matches the one the user selects. once delete I would like to have a pop say "Location Removed Sucessfully".

View 11 Replies View RelatedWay To Force Paste Special Or Allow Users To Run A Macro
Aug 6, 2007I have a sheet which is protected but people are still able to change cell formats etc if they use the standard paste method. I want people to be able to paste data in but it forces paste special values to stop people pasting formats etc over already formatted and locked cells.
I know I could write a macro and run it using the shortcut keys ctrl-v but then the users lose the ability to undo if they make a mistake.
Is there a way to force paste special or allow users to run a macro but be able to do undo if they make a mistake?
Force Users To Close Via Macro Button
Sep 12, 2009I have a spreadsheet that has a button named Exit Requisition Program on it to close the application with. When the button is used everything is wonderful. All of the data on the sheet is saved and the application closes. I have a problem with some users clicking the red X without saving changes and that creates a big problem.
What I need to do is any one of several things.
1. Remove the red X completely.
2. Deactivate the red X.
3. Have a message box pop up instructing the user to use the Exit Button when the red X is used. Any one of the three methods listed above would work for me.
Allow Users To Edit Ranges Not Working After Running Macro?
Feb 14, 2013I have a sheet that I have added protection to (Tools / Protection / Protect Sheet) with a password (PostItNote). Before I protect the sheet I have allowed users to edit ranges (Tools / Protection / Allow Users To Edit Ranges). I have made my selection of the cells that users are allowed to edit and protected the sheet. I now want to run a macro that will un-protect the sheet (in order to allow the macro to edit the protected cells) make some changes and then re-protect the sheet. The macro runs as it should do but when it stops I am unable to edit the cells that I allowed users to edit? For some reason the areas that I enabled users to edit have been changed allowing users to only edit far less cells that I originally set!
Here is my macro code that I am running:

Create Master File With Macro Built In That Will Allow Multiple Users To Use It At Once
Feb 7, 2014I am trying to create a master file, with a macro built in, that will allow multiple users to use it at once. The macro is to open a dilouge(sp sorry) box showing the contents of a specific folder, allow the user to selct one of the sheets, then copy and paste the set details from the hidden tab on this sheet (All sheets will be the same barring title), append the details to the master list in the first empty row.
I've got this far thus
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
'
' Modify this folder path to point to the files you want to use.
FolderPath = "My Folder name here"
' Set the current directory to the the folder path.
ChDrive FolderPath

Apr 1, 2008I have written a VBA code.
I thought I could just save it as an ADD-IN and then have my colleagues to add it, but that does not work. The macro will be stored in a seperate workbook and that is not what I want. I want them to be able to open any workbook and want them to be able to run the macro. I.e. everytime they open a workbook the macro should be available and be ready to run.
