Log User Changes
Jul 28, 2007
I am trying to integrate an optimization model to a simulation model using VBA in Excel. I am using ShellandWait and calling some batch files to call scripts for application command line operation. Everything ran fine until I tried to read in additional data using modules from an Excel add-in that I customized (err, more like butchered actually). Now, as far as I can tell sporadically (the call to the new module occurs randomly), Excel just closes in the middle of the simulation. Are there certain types of errors that behave this way? Is there someway to view or create an error log or similar, that I can go over after the crash?
*Edit*
I actually solved the problem (it was a database timer expiration initiated in a fortran routine by the customized add-in). This was just pure dumb luck - in effect, I was trying the brute force approach and happened to hit the solution relatively early. If anyone knows of some method of logging Excel or VBA activity (I guess that is the right term)

I have a user form that has a combo box "City" two text boxes one called "Flight" and the other "Date". What I'm trying to do is to prevent the user from saving the data input from the user form if any of those three fields is left blank. The code that I have so far checks all of the required fields, if any are left blank a message notifys which field(s) is left blank and return the focus back to that field. But the rest of code also fires.
What I really need is either to stop the code if any fields are blank and return the focus back to the blank field, the user completes the field(s) and clicks the save again, or better yet, pause the code until all the required fields are completed and then complete the save. (There is actually another 200+ lines of code in this sub, but I deleted it to keep the post a little shorter.)

I have a workbook that is used to track overtime hours worked through the year. I've received some help from users on this forum, and others, to create the necessary macros and formulas to allow a supervisor to make use of the form; however, the workbook is also used to track those that wish to volunteer to work overtime each weekend. The sheet has a list of names for the employees on each shift, then a column to allow a "Y" to be placed under the date - designating them as a volunteer for any overtime available. I've found this spreadsheet (attached - from this site) that will allow individual users to access the workbook and have unique passwords for each. I don't completely understand how it works, but I feel it may be a start to getting what I want.
Essentially, once the user selects their name and inputs their password, I'd like the workbook to be opened and then allow them to only manipulate the row associated with their name. That row will change from week to week, so specific numbers will not be able to be used, but their name will be the same as the name used in the logon.
I feel like I'm asking for a lot here, so just some initial guidance on whether this type of thing is possible would be an acceptable answer.

I have a spreadsheet with the following headings:
A
Claims Number
B
Name
C
Scheme

I need to create a user form that will "pop up" and ask the administrator to enter the above details.
A - should be created automatically (ie last claim number + 1)
B - user enters manually
C - data retrieved from a list
D - data retrieved from a list
E - date is the date the information is entered

how to get informazion with VBA code about the name of the user who opened already a workbook on the network.
Usually if somebody wants to open a file that is opened by another user, office applications give informations that the file is open and about the name who opened that file.
Is it possible to get this information with VBA code, too?

Is there a way to put a time stamp with the users name into an adjacent cell when a cell is updated?
In case that didn’t make sense I will tell you what I need this for. We are creating new time cards that require both employee and manager approval on them. We have many remote employees and getting their signature can be a pain. If they could click a button on the time card that stamped their name and time that would be ideal. They would then send to their manager they would click to verify the time and it would stamp it as well.

I have a user that is having problems with AutoSum updating after a cell is deleted. He has the following...
100
200
100
400
If he deletes one of the cells, (lets say 200), the autosum number stays at 400. I reinstalled his MS Office and it worked for a few days, but now he is having the same problem.
So now he has...
100
100
400

I have designed a spreadsheet in the office where I work, and think it would be quite flashy (gimiky) if I could have the spreadsheet show the name of the user logged on.
At the minute if I try and access a sheet currently open by another user it will come up with the standard message 'workbook1.xls is currently in use by xxxxx' then you open a read only copy until they have finished.
I was thinking there must be some way of importing this information to excel to display something like 'welcome (xxxxxxxx)(user currently logged on)'
The other part of my problem is that the excel sheet will only display the network uername of the user, but I have seen spreadsheets that cross reference this to the Microsoft Outlook global address list on the MS Exchange server, and display the users actual name.
In a nutshell, I just want to know is there anyway the excel spreadsheet can display the username currently logged into the shared spreadsheet.

I have a 3 2 user forms, plus a calandar pop-up user form. One is a Log In Screen with a user id combo box and a password textbox referenced to ranges in a very-hidden sheet.
My second form is a spend tracker with mulitple fileds, text boxes, combo boxes, etc.
One of the fields in the spend tracker is user name, what I would like to do is when a user enters their user name and password the entered user name as long as it matches one in the database be populated in the user name field and not allow it to be edited. Is there a way to do this, if so, what is the code and where do I put it.
I will attach my file so you can check it out. Log in: tester
Password: test01
Programmers Access Code is 1234.

I have created an addin that runs several macros. To enable the user to undo any changes, I keep a backup prior to them using any of the macros in the form of a worksheet named back00xx. I want a prompt to be displayed to the user to remove these backups at the closing or saving of the file. The problem is that as an addin, how do I get it to display this prompt as the open workbook is not part of the addin.
Could one have a looping routine that is checking every xx min/sec to check if the current workbook contains any sheets starting back00

When I run it it returns in A1, Jeffrey.Brown2. I would like to turn this into Brown, Jeffrey but because another user may have a shorter or longer name the Left & Right function does not work for every scenario?
Sub who()
Range("A1").Value = Environ("username")
End Sub

I have a user form that I want to take the information and have it input on the worksheet. I want it to start at A3 and check to see if that cell is "" and if it is not then enter the data from the from horizontally. If A3 is not "" then continue down column A untill the first nonblank cell is and then select that cell and have the data entered horizontally.
I have this code so far but it is not working.
Private Sub cmdSubmit_Click()
Dim Month As Variant
Month = Me.cmbMonth.Value
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(Month).Activate
I have done a bit of excel programming last year but have not done any for the last 4 months so I am a bit rusty.

Is it possible that unless a user enters the value of Z5 into Z6, Excel will not continue, or allow any futher data to be entered, this after a user first selects a institution from a drop down list in H6, which will determine the value of Z5.

I need to add a function to a worksheet that shows the name of the previous person who used the document.
I know about the Function GetUserName, but obviously this just shows the username of the person who has just opened the document. Is there anyway that we show the previous user????

How do I pause my macro until the user selects a chart in the worksheet? Or Keep prompting a message to the user till he selects the chart and when a chart is selected run the macro.
Step 1: Check if a chart is Selected
Step 2: If yes, run the macro
Step 3: If no, prompt the user with a msgbox of Retry/Cancel.
Step 4: If the user selects Retry, wait till he makes a selection.
Step 5: If the selection is a chart, run the macro. If the selection is not a chart prompt the same msgbox again and keep looping it till he selects a chart.
Sub test5()
Dim chtSelected As Chart
Dim UserResponse As Integer
On Error Resume Next

I currently have a macro that takes a user selected name and date and creates a time sheet for the selected name. This works just fine, however i have to select each individual person and run the macro for each person, how to automate that part of the macro, so it will automatically create the said sheet for all person at once, rather than me doing it manually.
[Code] .....
The 'CurrentMonth' variable is user selected from a list, and will remain that way.
