When you enable macros the sheets 2, 3, 4 ect are visible but if you disable macros, you only see sheet 1 and and you can place a message on the sheet saying this will only work with macros enabled.
View 2 RepliesI accidently put the Application.Quit command in the wrong place. Now Excel closes immediately when the macro executes. I can get into Excel if I disable the macro, but then it won't let me edit the macro. Is there a way to edit my macro without executing it?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have excel 2007 and I want to record a macro. I have enabled all macros via the Trust Center settings and have even saved the current workbook (created from scratch in 2007) to a macro-enabled version.
But when I click on the 'developer' toolbar, 'record macro' is grayed out.
If i have a macro, is it possible to have that macro work on a specific sheet and not the whole work book.
I.e I have two sheets one where you can insert a line and other where you cant insert a line, at the moment i can insert in both sheets.
Working with a macro enabled workbook that has many sheets what would be a good code that would save Sheet1 into a new MACRO enabled workbook so that the 'Buttons' (which are linked to macros) on this specific sheet will be the only macros that will be copied to the new workbook as opposed to the rest of the macros that are found in different sheets?
Here is what I g=have:

I have got a protected sheet with macros, how can I ensure that users can only open the sheet as Macro enabled only otherwise the sheet would not open?
I understand that some users may have different Macro security settings?
How can I write a "warning" in the form of a message box that will appear if the user does not enable macros?
Also, can I have one of the buttons on this message box turn on macros?
How can I determine if the user selected "disable" at the initial macro prompt screen.
Basically, I would like a formula/function that can say whether Macros are switched on or off by the user.
I was playing around with Macros on an excel file. I created a few and ran them. In the end, I didn't like the way they ran, so I deleted them all. However since I ran them in the excel file, every time I open the file it gives me a warning saying
"Macros have been disabled."
Is there any way to remove the possible Macros ties/links from my file? I know I can disable the warning, but if I just want to remove the Macros ties to my file.
My macros don't work when the workbook is shared. They are not stored in my personal workbook and so are available to all users. What's going on?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an excel file saved as macro-enabled that is perfectly functional and can be opened on my computer (via Security Warning - Enable Macros). The file is saved on another computer, through which I am accessing by a network.
This other computer is unable to run the macros, and when we open the file in excel there is no security warning that pops up (like there is on my computer). I have gone to the Excel Options and entered the trust center settings, and finally the Macro Settings. It is set at Disable all macros with notification. (same for both computers... but on one of the computers there is no security warning that pops up)
We tried enabling all macros (temporarily) and tried re-opening the file and running a macro. We got an error message saying that macros were not enabled.
We also made the file a trusted location and saw no changes.
I want to use data validation so that if macros are not enabled, data validation in a particular cell will not allow any entry. Maybe a helper cell that is TRUE if macros have been enabled? How is this done?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI would like to be able to password protect each sheet in a workbook and still be able to use the macros/form control (button). Below is the code that I'm using and the code that I've attempted to add to it to protect it.
Current Code:

Code added for protection but not working:

I've added this code to both the beginning and the end of my code; however, I'm getting a "400" error when I try to use the form control (button) when the sheet is protected. Is there something that I'm doing incorrectly?
I have created an Excel Workbook and this Workbook has a VBA code that enforces an expiry date of the workbook (TimeBomb from cpearson.com). So, if the expiry date has passed, the workbook will not open. But since it is VBA related, the expiry date will work only if one has enabled macros. If macros are disabled, the workbook will open regardless of the date.
So, is there a way for Excel to check if macros are enabled? and is there a way for Excel not to open the workbook, if the macros are disabled?
I have a file that contains Macros that I want to share with others. The only problem I have is that users have the right to enable or disable macros. If they disable the macro - some of the security functions could be lost.
Is there a way to create a macro that will not allow the file to be opened if they choose to Disable the Macros.
If a user disables macros when opening a file, is there a way to have the excel file automatically close?
I'm posting a workbook on our network that I want to enable users to go in and update. I have the workbook designed, with entry fields for the data they need to enter, and they then push "Submit" to submit the new data to a hidden tracking log within the workbook.
Many of the users will be complete Excel newbies, and although I haven't posted the workbook yet, I am trying to anticipate possible issues. The first that comes to mind is that the user opening the workbook may not have macros enabled in their version of Excel, and they will get a message, and can't perform the udpate. Is there a way to add a Workbook Open event that automatically enable macros in the workbook when they open it, even if it is for this workbook only?
I'm making a little calculator thing for some of my colleagues, and I've created a warning sheet at the front in case their macro security is set to high or they disable macros.
The thing is, when the workbook is opened with macros enabled, and when it's closed, this warning sheet flashes briefly. Is there any way to avoid this?
My code is:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Worksheets("Form").Visible = True
Worksheets("Form").Activate
Worksheets("Enable macros").Visible = False
UserForm1.Show
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Worksheets("Enable Macros").Visible = True
Worksheets("Form").Visible = False
Me.Save
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
I prtected several sheets with the xlVeryHidden command I got from you. But when the user does not allow Macros to be executed, also these protections are not executed. Does there exist any solution to this problem? Something like "when macros are not allowed do NOT open file"?
Sub workbook_open()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.AskToUpdateLinks = False
Windows("rechenfile.xls").Activate
Sheets("Daten").Visible = xlVeryHidden
Sheets("Koeffizient").Visible = xlVeryHidden
Sheets("Investitionen").Visible = xlVeryHidden
Sheets("Konsum").Visible = xlVeryHidden
Sheets("Zinssatz_permanent").Visible = xlVeryHidden
Sheets("Preise").Visible = xlVeryHidden
Sheets("Nettotransfers").Visible = xlVeryHidden
Sheets("Beschäftigung").Visible = xlVeryHidden
Sheets("Löhne").Visible = xlVeryHidden
Sheets("Nettoexporte").Visible = xlVeryHidden

I have been working on an excel spreadsheet and have come acrss this problem once before too. When I try to open this file it hangs and does not respond. the file size is not too big (490KB). When I disable macros i can open the same file but when the macro are enabled, it hangs. have been trying to look for a solution but just dont know what to do.
View 3 Replies View RelatedEverytime I open the excel file I am working on I get a message saying that the file contains macros.
I have deleted all the macros I could find under "Tools" and "Macros" but I still get Module1.sortie, sortie and sortie listed. I can delete Module1.sortie but for the other two, sortie and sortie, I only have the "cancel" and "create" options.
Basically, I want cell A1 to display the message "Macros must be enabled for this document to display properly", then have that text replaced with a picture (jpeg logo) if macros are enabled. I know I need to put the code in the Workbook_Open sub, but I keep getting the "error 1004, cannot modify visible property of picture object" when I try to tinker with "visible = true".
*EDIT* - The picture must be embedded in the spreadsheet somehow, and hidden from view when macros are disabled. (Having the picture crammed into a single cell at IV65536 is fine.)
Thoughts?
I have created a excel spread sheet to be set up like a schedule, including multiple macros through the sheet, when I started it put the macros into "Module 1", now if I wanted to use this same worksheet and copy it and create multiple sheets in one file via the tabs does it make a difference where the macros reside? if it remains in "Module 1" it will only be in one spot will this create problems later on or should the each reside in the sheet objects.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have come up the code below. It imports contact information from Outlook contacts in a contact folder called Private Contacts. The below code has been copied and modified from this forum.
As it stands the macro creates a new workbook and places the data on that. What I need it to do is create a new worksheet with the name of private compare on the active workbook and then place the data on that worksheet.

I am after a macro to do the following, my visual basic skills are very limited (non existant):- Look at the date in cell A1 on Sheet 'Live Report' and err 'remember it' Copy a range of cells from A3 to A10 on 'Live Report' Go to sheet 'Monthly Summary' and find the date that had been remembered previously (this date will be in column A on 'Monthly Summary' which will probably be a mixture of values and formulas). After the date has been found paste special and transpose the 'values only' copied range from 'Live Report' (A3 to A10) in column B on 'Monthly Summary' next to the date that has been found in Column A.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently using a macro to copy a sheet from a closed workbook in to my current workbook. However this copying is based on the sheet name. At present when I run the following code
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a range of cells in a work sheet "sheet 1 " my objective is to filter this range according to certain criteria (i ve succeeded to do this ) yet what i want to do now is copy this data to another existing worksheet in a certain range .
note :the existing worksheet to which i 'll copy the filtered data has some cells out of the range that i dont want to over write ..
Simply :how to copy a selected range of cells in a work sheet to already existing work sheet in a specific range aswell .
I have the following Macro:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) ' Code goes in the Worksheet specific module
Dim rng As Range
' Set Target Range, i.e. Range("A1, B2, C3"), or Range("A1:B3")
Set rng = Target.Parent.Range("C13:D25")
' Only look at single cell changes
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
' Only look at that range
If Intersect(Target, rng) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
[code]....
Which does not allow entry to range C13:D25 if D12 is empty. Works great!But I need it to work across ranges E13:F25 if F12 is empty, G13:H25 if G12 is empty etc.
I tried copy pasting the same macro over and over again but renaming it to e.g. Worksheet_Change2 causes the Macro to stop working completely.What am I doing wrong?
We have a sheet which we use to cost products. To ensure that people don't enter prices incorrectly, I have created a lookup to another sheet which shows current prices. Therefore, I have a macro that if I click a button, it looks up the prices from the relevant document. The way I have written the macro is to clear the sheet of what is already there and then to open up, vlookup and then close the lookup sheet.
The problem I had with this was that if i renamed the sheet, the macro wouldn't work - I sussed that one out by changing filename in the macro to 'ThisWorkbook'.
The problem I now have, is that the boss would like the sheet to magically do the following;
Lookup the prices on two external sheets. IF the main sheet doesn't have the corresponding reference THEN automatically go and Lookup on the other sheet for it.
He doesn't want any references to filenames so that, as long as the sheets are stored in the same place, they can be copied/renamed and moved anywhere.
Well this excel workbook has lots of sheets each for a specific region eg, Europe, austin etc and also sheets which have relevant data that gets used in the formula.
Now, say for eg lets considered the sheet called austin.
it does the calculations on the headcount needed for call center.
so the columns refer to a formula called gets() which then calls the erlanc function.
Now the problem here is this gets() function takes a value called calc
and this calc just a cell in one of the sheets called table. Now if I change the headcount value in the austin sheet nothing happens. Then I need to change the value of calc cell say make it to 5 or 6 and hit enter. It starts calulating the values to forecast thye headcount, but it does so for all the sheets . so it is taking a lot of time.
how to get make it run only for one sheet.
