Macro To Change Security Settings
Aug 6, 2008
Is there anyway to change the security settings in Excel 2007 using VB macros? I have tried to record the macro as I change the settings but nothings is recorded.
Basically I have two workbooks, and I want to run one of the macros within workbook 1 from workbook 2. This is straight forward, however why I try to run it, excel says that the macros are disabled in the other workbook, but I know they are not, they are all enabled (bottom option)
I was hoping to find some way of fooling Excel into thinking the macros were enabled by changing the security settings (actually keeping them the same, but making excel think that i've changed them) before I try to the macro from the other sheet. I don't know if i've explained myself very well here, I hope I have, if not let me know and i'll try to go into more detail.

I am trying to use a shell command to dig into a specified directory (and ideally all sub-directories) and open every pdf file and re-save with security settings changed (adding a password to prevent printing). I can't seem to get the shell command to run from where it is:
Option Explicit
Sub OpenPDFFilesAndSave()
'opens every pdf file in a directory
Dim FSO As Object, Fld As Object, Fil As Object
Dim MainFolderName As String, i As Integer
Dim RetVal As Variant
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
MainFolderName = "C:Test"
Set Fld = FSO.GetFolder(MainFolderName)
For Each Fil In Fld.Files
i = i + 1
RetVal = Shell("C:Program FilesAdobeAcrobat 7.0
_&AcrobatAcrobat.exe MainFolderName & " " & Fil. Name")
Next
'have to add save the file, and change the print settings but not figured that out yet
End Sub

I have a range of cells ( C2, C5, C8:N1007, P8:P1007 ....) on a worksheet that I want to be able to clear the contents of through a macro - worksheet is entitled Database
I have 3 additional worksheets all of which have summary information on and some of the formulas are huge.
I've inserted a module and produced this code;
Sub ClearContents()
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Range("C2, C5, C8:N1007, P8:P1007, ....").ClearContents
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End Sub
Because of all the 3 summary page formulas the code is taking a few seconds to run.
I'm new to VBA and just wondered whether I could switch the calculation setting for the entire workbook onto manual at the beginning of the code and then switch it back to automatic at the end of the code? Think this might speed things up.

I have a sheet that will not let me use macros. I can record them, but when I go to use them it says that the Macro security level is too high. I change it to Medium or Low but it doesn't make a difference.
The same spreadsheet works with Macros on another computer, but not my main one.

How can I change the default settings I get with a new Excel document?
What I want is that when I create a new Excel document, all cells should have Comic Sans MS font, Bold & size 10, with a particular horizontal and vertical alignment etc.
I am not able to do these changes using settings in Option menu.

I am trying to change data vailidation settings on Sheet1 based on a state name provided on a separate worksheet (Sheet2). The below code is part of a macro that is assigned to a button on Sheet2. The issue is when the state name changes on Sheet2 and the button is pushed to initiate the macro to run, the state validation does not change on Sheet1.

I have a big table with lots of columns for which I want a pivot to sum the data in the columns. Most likely because there are lot of blanks in the data Excel automatic makes a count of the data when I drag it into the pivot table. Now I have to change for each column one by one the Value field settings from count to sum. Is there a way to change the Value field settings for multiple columns at once from count to sum? If not can I somehow change the settings of the pivot table so default the Value field settings will be sum when I drag it into the pivot table?

I have recently grabbed the very helpful "Macro to delete VBA code" from this site, and it's working but with one small problem.
My worksheet runs a lot of code, then deletes all macro code and saves itself.
The problem is the next time i open I still get the macro security warning!
I've checked thoroughly and there is definatley no vba left anywhere.
If I open the document, enable macros, and save it, then open it again, I no longer get the warning.

I have a spreadsheet that I regularly have to clear the data and start over on, so i recorded a macro for clearing this rather long sheet with only one cllick.
My problem is that i am not the only person who will use this sheet, if They click the control button by mistake they will clear their work and you cannot undo it. I was wondering if i could make it ask "are you sure" kind of like the save option when closing an unsaved document.

If there is code attached to a worksheet, not necessarily in a macro, does the macro security still have to be low to use it??

I have a large file of data and the data looks like this repetitively, however, there are also useless data. But I figure out that the repeat data looks the same compare to the useless data. I need to extract the data that I only need. Is there a way to set a macro to search for a String from the beginning of the excel file, when the string is found, it will keep the 2 rows above and 56 row below it, then loop.
Here is an example of it:
A1 USELESS DATA
A2 USELESS DATA
A3 USELESS DATA
A4 USELESS DATA
A5 GOOD DATA
[Code] ....
The macro will start from A1 then go down till find STRING, then will keep 2 row above it which is A5+56 row below it which is A63.
Then continue at A64, then find STRING at A66 and do the same which is copy A64 (2 row above)+till A122 (which is 56 row below), then continue.
Since A123 to A155 does have any STRING, they will all be deleted..

I've written code into excel that sends workbooks to email recipients. This works fine except for use on one friends computer. Of course it's the friend that needed the code in the first place.
What happens is that when the macro attempts to mail a spreadsheet an outlook popup occurrs warning that a macro is attempting to email a message. And so nothing gets emailed out!

I have 4 worksheets in a workbook: “choose security”, “download”, “MC” and “Lending”,
In the choose security” worksheet in CELL A2 is an HEX code, i.e. stock code.
2. In MC worksheet is raw data of all holdings related to various p’folios and securities, the information we need from this worksheet is,
a) p’folios, which are in column A,
b) Holdings which is Col B
c) Security code i.e. stock code which is in Col D
I need a macro or a formula to look at what security code is in “choose security” worksheet CELL A2, then look for this security in worksheet “MC” Col D, once matched, copy the data for this security to worksheet “download” and paste in CELL A3, I only need p’folios and holdings to be copied to “download” so data in Col A and B.
Once data has been copied to worksheet “download”, I then need another macro or formula to repeat step 2, but this time the macro will be looking at worksheet “Lending”,
a) P’folios, which are in Col B
b) Security code is in Col D
c) Holdings is in Col H
Once the macro or formula has found a match of security code, it will then copy the data from Col B and H to download worksheet CELL E3.

I've been told the latest Excels will allow any workbooks in a certain folder
to run macros as trusted (regardless of security setting?).
Can anyone confirm this please? Is there more to it? What versions are affected? Mine is 2003 so I can't check for this.

I have created a workbook. That has 35 worksheets within it. I have created a series of buttons and put in a macro code so that when the user clicks on the button it changes the active worksheet to what they clicked on.
So basically when they click button b it changes to worksheet b and if they click button c it changes to worksheet c, ETC.
The problem I have is that since it is a macro it works fine on my computer but when it is sent to other users, because of security settings on their pcs it will disable the macro [thus the buttons will not work or show up]. I have created a digital trust certificate for it. However it is alot of steps to install this for the basic user. Is there a way to create a button that will do what I want without using a macro code. In that it will be able to go to many different users and wont have to worry about the buttons not working because of security settings?

Although not a complete novice, I am fairly new to EXCEL/VBA.
Is there a script that can be embedded into an EXCEL workbook that checks the Macro security of the PC, and if set to HIGH, shows a message that states that "Macro security is too high to open this workbook".
With security set to high, Excel will open my w/ book, but not run any of my checks that are set in the module. So a "catch 22" really, I need the macros to run to that it is being opened on an authorised computer etc, but if security is set to HIGH, then they don't run, similarly, if I put a macro in to check the macro setting, it won't run unless the security is set to medium.

is it possible through vba code to determine the macro security level of Excel 2007 and inform the user. I tried the code below , it is executed when the workbook is opened, but it doesn't work.The code below is executed only when the macro security level is "Low". My goal is at least to inform , with a msgbox function, to change manually the security level.
Code:
Dim secAutomation As MsoAutomationSecurity
Dim zLevel
As String
secAutomation = Application.AutomationSecurity
Select Case secAutomation
[Code]....

I am having trouble disabling the "Preview" button when calling Application.Dialogs(xldialogprint) in XL2003. I have an xlSheetVeryHidden worksheet containing a form which is made visible programatically when the user wishes to print a copy (code below). I want the user to be able to have access to the functionality of the xlDialogPrint dialog (i.e. select desired print destination, number of copies, pages per sheet etc.) but I also want to prevent them modifying the page setup of the protected worksheet by initiating a preview from the print dialog.
Private Sub btnPrintReturnForm_Click()
wbkRUSC.Unprotect sysPass 'unprotect workbook to enable changes to sheet visibility
' (sysPass is project constant string containing password)
shtStaffForm.Visible = xlSheetVisible 'make staff form visible
shtCalc.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden 'hide main calculator in case user gets smart and hits..............................

I'm trying to find out if there is a way to call the security alert to enable a macro. Let me explain...I was working on a sheet with a macro that I hadn't enabled yet. After working for awhile the option to enable it was gone and I found that I had to close the fine and re-open to enable the macro. I'm wondering if there is a ribbon or short cut icon to put in my access toolbar that will give me the option to enable/disable the macro. Seems strange that in 2003 I could to this, but in 2007 I have to close the file.

I have been using this code and just noticed that it resets all of my options buttons to false when I exit and then re-enter (activate) the sheet with the option buttons.
I see where this is going on, but don't know how to correct it. I only want the option buttons changed to false if
The Sol named range is something other than "Primary Vendor". It seems to call the macro ClearOB whenener the sheet is activated.
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
If Range("Sol").Value = "Primary Vendor" Then
For Each OB In ActiveSheet.OptionButtons
OB.Enabled = True
Next OB
ClearOB
ActiveSheet.ScrollArea = "A1:K58"
[Code] .......

We have developed an Excel workbook with hundreds of lines of VBA code written for a specific application, and we would like to protect it.
Could someone give me an idea of what security options we have over and above the below (if any)?
We have protected all sheets and the workbook itself with passwords. The VBA itself is protected with a passoword.
My understanding is that VBA can be hacked into quite easily.....is there any way of adding another layer of security/protection without having to move to another platform altogether?
