I've set up a macro to run in the workbook open event, to open a user form that restricts user access to the spreadsheet. This works fine, but I need to make the spreadsheet shared and when I open it the macro doesn't run. it's still possible to use the workbook_open event on shared workbooks or if not suggest an alternative method of running the macro on opening.
View 2 RepliesI have a shared worksheet my self and a few others key pricing into weekly, more or less a price check for stores we service. I have created another workbook that has the same basic template with links to the "shared" worksheet. In this workbook Im trying to run a macro to copy the pricing "template" into a new tab in the workbook. I keep getting this error as it pertains to "sheet". I would like the tab that is created to be named whatever the current day is if possible.

have had to try to automate a function which will transfer all rows of data that an operator "checks" in a check box, to a seperate sheet before printing. Written under pressure with boss at my elbow so I will tidy later.
My problem is that there is a command within the macro (after the filtered data is copied over to Priority sheet) which will not allow the macro to fully execute when the file is shared.

I have a workbook which I need to give shared access.
The workbook has macros which make sheets visible and VeryHidden and also give certain sheets protection. Also a filter runs on one sheet.
When I give the workbook shared access, the macros error?
how I can give me workbook shared access but still allow the macros to hide/unhide sheets, filter and protect worksheets?
Ive got a problem with a work book im working on at the moment, my company has various different documents created in excel, like a price list, cost price list & stock levels (all Independant) I have had the idea to join them all into a single shared workbook using an idea I found and modified over a year ago on this site, that had the promise of allowing multiple users to see the nessesary parts of the same document. the advantage of this being any new parts or prices or suppliers added would update all users at once. So ive got this workbook that when you open you get asked for a username & password this then hides/unhides, protects or unprotects to suit the users needs. This works great when unshared but when I share it the login box wont display
The Administrator username is jamie and the password is joshua
I have a shared workbook where 5-6 people could be updating the log sheet at any one time. The problem is a I have a macro that I would like to run to update ( cut n paste to different sheets, etc) that doesnt like running when the workbook is shared. What I currently do is have a button that when clicked - changes the document to exclusive, runs the macro, then changes back to shared. I was hoping I could run the macro on an worksheet event? But i'd like it to run only once - Possibly when its first opened for the day by anyone of the users.

I have an addin in a shared folder which was created by someone else. (it is a user form). I need to create a macro which will go to its existing folder and then save it in the users personal addin folder also picking up their user id. There will be about 100 users so easier this way than going round doing it for them.
So I suppose the query is three fold.
1, pick up the addin and save it in a personal addin folder.
2, Find the username as part of the path file. For instance my personal would be:
"C:Documents and SettingsO033116Application DataMicrosoftAddIns"
The "O033116" is where I will need a search completed to obtain the user id.
The addin is called ServiceCredt.xla
3, Activate the installed addin.
The reason I want it this way is so the user is unable to access any of the code and we are in control.

This repeats for 7 workbooks. The problem is, if a macro overruns - the whole schedule is out of sync when macro's are called depending on the time.

However, when i have tried to do this, the macro has always stopped when the workbook has been closed - the next macro doesn't run.

Rather than just export and import a module, to import a sheet macro?
I don't quite know what they're called, but basically I have a functional Worksheet_change macro, which is sitting idly in a module. When a separate macro is run which creates new workbooks, It exports that specific module to the desktop, and then the new workbooks all import the module. THat works fine.
But I want all of the new workbooks to get a worksheet_change macro (so a macro that goes into the sheet, not into a module in the workbook)
I was able to create a macro that formats the worksheet that I am working on. However, I would like this macro to be available to all worksheets that I would be downloading from a system.
I tried using the personal macro workbook, but when I ran the macro, it formats the personal worksheet and not the one that I would want to format.
I used general codes, but it pasted the formulas onto the personal.xls file.
Ive just started using vba for excel and put together a very simple peice that uses the goalseek function. See below.

The code works great (a little slow - but fine for 65,000 lines), however i have nearly 100 workbooks that i have to run this macro for. I was wondering if anyone knew how i could manipulate it so that i could incorporate all 100 files into the macro, therefore running the macro once for all 100 files. If this is not possible is it possible to link multiple worksheets.
What I'm trying to achieve.I'm trying to create a toolbar to have visible in excel which provides me with shortcuts to a selection of functions and some other useful documents.
I've created a document "Toobar 1.xls" in column B of which I have the file locations of the documents I want to open, the documents are moved from time to time and it is easier for other users to update the spreadsheet than vb.As you can see below I've written a piece of code to open up a document, I've created a function because there are a few documents I want to create links to and thought it would be cleaner to do it like this. This code is stored in "Module1" of "Toolbar 1.xls".
I've then created a new toolbar in excel and added a custom menu item and allocated it the macro "Pension_Credit_Calc".
When I run the code from within "Toolbar1.xls" it works fine, however if I try to run it from another workbook I get "run time error 1004". I suspect it's probably something to do with where I've stored my code,
PS. The reason I have not simply created a shortcut in the quicklaunch bar is that I will also be altering the workbooks once opened.

Function OpenUp(FileLocation) As String

I'd like to create a macro that will take 10 workbooks and add them to a new work book, but have each workbook as a separate sheet.
So every month from work I get a report file labeled as the current month (JAN_14). Then there about 19 folders in that folders labeled with product names; then in those folders are two excel files (they're all named MSTASCH_QUICKLOOK_1 and MSTASCH_QUICKLOOK). I figure if I can see the macro to combine 10 workbooks I can change it to do less or more workbooks. I had tried a macro that takes the workbooks from one file and puts them into two seperate sheets (although I would love to have the order changed of how they're put into the workbook).

I have a macro to get copy of sheet named "Doc Info" from workbook File 1 to active workbook.
I could do it for one file on any active workbook.
But what I would require is, upon executing this macro , i want this macro to get executed in all open workbooks( could be any numbers ).
I want to move copy of sheet from File 1 to all open workbooks ( which i am doing it manualy for every file )
All these open workbooks could be from any folder , wont be in same folder.
So logic is to execute my macro apply in all open workbooks in my computer.

I have done a search and have seen about "personal.xls", that does not seem to work. Thinking that I will have to add something to XLStart folder but not sure.
the code necessary to merge all open workbooks (each contains only one worksheet) into 1 workbook made up of all of these individual worksheets?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a way to close a group on Workbooks that are in separate instances of Excel.
These Workbooks get opened similar to running a Powerpoint program, but much different usage than Powerpoint.
AS AN EXAMPLE:
I have 7 Workbooks open in Excel . . . Could be more or less.
Each workbook has 2 sheets, the "User Sheet" (not the actual name, as all user sheet names vary) and a sheet named "Setup." (Always named "Setup.")
On the "Setup" sheet I have a list of all the possible Workbooks that I want to close. For reference purposes only, I'll call this list "To Close". All 7 Workbooks would be listed, but not all of them would be opened. If any particular Workbook on the "To Close" list is not open, it would simply be bypassed.
Example of list: Column A
Row 25 has the name of Workbook A
Row 26 has the name of Workbook B
Row 27 has the name of Workbook C
And this would continue down to the last Workbook possibly open. I will know how many Workbooks could possibly be open.
Other workbooks could also be open, but they would not be closed by this macro. In this example, I would only want Workbooks A & B & C closed.
I would have rows 25 thru 27 (or more) listed in the same location on the "Setup" sheet of each Workbook.
Each "User Sheet" would have a macro called "Close Group"
The macro would have to search through all open Workbooks and when it found one of the Workbooks listed for closing, it would close that workbook. Then, the macro would look for the next Workbook on the "To Close" list.
The Active Workbook would also be on the list and that also needs to be closed. I would guess that this would be the last Workbook to close, but it really would not make any difference if the macro would still work. I think the macro has to have the active Workbook open to close the others.
After the list has been gone through, the macro would stop.
NOTE: Each Workbook has it's own "To Close" list. If it would help, I can leave the Workbook Name A off of the list in Workbook A. I would do the same on Workbook B, etc. Then the Active Workbook could automatically be closed at the end of the macro.
