Macro To Check If Saved Then Save Else Bring Up Save As Dialog
Sep 6, 2012
I'm trying to make a macro check if a file has been saved (ever). If so I want the macro to do a regular save (with already esatablished filename and location) before it proceeds with the rest of the macro. If the file hasnt been saved (if it runs from a new workbook) then I want it to pop up the save.as dialog, so that the user can choose the name and location of the file before the macro continues .
I am modifying a corporate macro that is used in to create a standard technical letter. This standard file has 6 macros, that once used to create the letter, are never used again. I know, the first thing that jumps out is to create an add-in. I'd prefer not to got hat route at the moment for various reasons.
What I'm looking to do is after the letter is created, and the print macro is called and prints the letter, all macros are removed (already found help for this on this site), then check to see if the file has been saved, or still has the template name, and then either save or bring up the save as dialog box for the user to save the file with the appropriate name and folder.
I would like to add some icons on the left side of excel open file pane to faciliate my work. Because i need to load some files under the same folder many times a day. Does anybody know how to do that? I've seen people has more icons on the pane before. The defaut setting has only 'History', 'My Documents', 'Favorites', 'Desktop' and ' My nutwork places' on it.
I'm building my first Add-In, which I'm using to gather all Sub's that I've created through my small VBA writting career. The thing is that when I write new code and some reason exit Excel and forget to save the XLA, obviously the code is lost. I've used:
How can i call the Save As dialog box from a macro, and pre-populate the filename field with a cell value from the workbook? I have tried this code
With Application.Dialogs(xlDialogFileSaveAs) .Name = Sheets("Calcs").Range("b37").Value .Show End With
with the cell reference being what i want to show in the filename box. Each time i run it, i get an error message, "run time error 1004, application defind or object defined error"
I have an Excel 2010 spreadsheet which I need to print to PDF. There is a simple "Save as" PDF option which always fails with just the message "Document not saved". I created a simple test sheet with just a few numbers on to check it isn't due to complexities with the particular workbook. This works on my home PC (Windows 7) but not on the Windows 7 Club PC which is where I need to run it to generate the output which eventually will go to the club's website.
It also fails the same way if I try to create an XPS file (although I don't want an XPS file).
This fails from the normal user interface "Save As". I also tried it from a VBA macro and run it: I get Run-time error '-2147467261 (80004003)' Document not saved
I've googled endlessly but all the references I tried failed to uncover a solution. I was a bit surprised that this doesn't seem particularly common and most of the reports seem to be a couple of years old or older (no workarounds were useful).
When a user tries to save a workbook I want the workbook to display the Save As dialog box. This will ensure that the template is not accidentally tempered with.
I want to be able to have the Save As dialog box come up, but with a File Name already chosen, so that the user can save it as this File Name in any location he/she wishes. I can get the Save As dialog box coming up with my code, but I don't know how to automatically enter the File Name
I am running a macro on startup from a template that opens the File Save As dialog box to allow the user to select a folder and filename and save it before continuing.
I would like it to default to the Q: drive, it defaults to where the template was opened from.
I used
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show
to open the dialog, I tried using "Q:" as an argument but it doesn't seem to work. if I try
I have a command button code on a sheet that checks if all the cells in a table have been completed before saving the worksheet. If they're not all complete a userform message box pops up with a reminder then returns to the sheet without saving. I want to be able to call this from the 'BeforeClose' event as well however, even though it still does what it's supposed to do, after the userform message box has displayed and been unloaded then it still pops up the Save Dialog box.
I'm struggling to suppress the Save Dialog box and return to the sheet.
I have the below code to have the user select a pile path and save. what can I add to have the dialog box preselect the file type to macro enabled? the .xlsm extension is not doing it.
['save it under a new name
Dim fPth As Object Set fPth = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs) With fPth .InitialFileName = Worksheets("Project Setup").Range("f19").Text & "_ROM Estimate.xlsm" .Title = "Save your File:" .InitialView = msoFileDialogViewList .Show End With]
I have a macro that copy one sheet of the Active workbook and sends it via email.
I need to add a code in this sheet so when one opens it from the email, with a command button to be able to save the file to specific, fixed folder on the local network with it’s original file name.
My spreadsheet has 32 worksheets, I've recorded a macro to do the job "save, save as with specific name", but what I want is, when save as, I wanted the file name increase in one number, and the date in a specific range "H8:J8" the date should be the next saturday.
I'm trying to have a macro that opens the save as window, places the name in cell f5 and then allows you to save the workbook with cell f5 as the filename. I have managed to get the save as window to come up and the cell f5 as the name, but when I press save is doesn't. Here is what I have (also, is there a way to direct this to a specific folder).
I am trying to create a macro to run from a form button, within a report, to save a file to a variable file path and name depending on the date value in cell B5.
The format of B5 looks like - 13/08/2014 16:39
The file path has folders for each year in format "yyyy" with each year having sub folders for each month in format "mm".
The file name is just the date only and is formatted "dd.mm.yy" e.g. 13.08.14
I have tried the code below in various permutations but always end up with an error - Method 'SaveAs' of object '_Workbook' failed.
1. User will input the file in the "INPUT SHEET", typing the Text in Root, Uric, Lot size, Lot Unit, Display name and Series name.
2. User will select the from the drop down for Category and Type.
3. After Inputting the data according to the category and type selected. it should select the data, and Replace the Root with the inputed data to "IDX MAIN SERIES" the 2nd sheet "DATA" Sheet. and it should save it in CSV format
4. Same thing goes with the "IDX CHAIN SERIES" in the second sheet. and it should also save it in CSV. format
5. so for each and every root there would be 2 CSV file one for Main Series and one for chain.
6. The Root type can be repeatable, so if there are multiple root the all Roots should be in main series csv file and all the chain should be in Chain series csv file.
7. Same thing for the modifer sheet it will replace the data highlighted in Yellow (Data updated in "INPUT SHEET" and should save in ".TXT" format
I am looking to see if a directory exists, and if it does, to save a file in it, otherwise create it, then save the file. My IsFileThere function works fine on files, but does not detect directories. The len(Dir(Filename)) statement always returns a 0, with the Dir statement always simply populating with "". It works fine on filenames - so can anyone tell me why it does not pick up directories? Shouldn't the Dir function on a directory name return "."? I have excerpted some of my code to include here: Global Const StoredJobsSubdirectory = "Jobs"
Dim AppPath As String: AppPath = ActiveWorkbook.Path 'other code in here - activeworkbook changed, hence previous line If IsFileThere(AppPath & "" & StoredJobsSubdirectory) Then ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=AppPath & "" & StoredJobsSubdirectory & _ "" & NameString & ".xls" Else MkDir AppPath & "" & StoredJobsSubdirectory ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=AppPath & "" & StoredJobsSubdirectory & _ "" & NameString & ".xls" End If............................
I have a summary file (I'll call it File A) from which a macro is run. It opens other files, finds a "total line" then copies it into File A. Then it closes that file, opens another, and repeats the process. The macro works fine for most of the files it opens and closes, but on some of them, upon the close command, a dialog box pops up asking "Do you want to save the changes you made to "File B.xls"?
I'm not sure why this comes up as there were no changes made. Cells were only copied and pasted into another file. Is there a way to stop this annoying box from popping up? It slows down the macro by waiting for human input. here is my
Need VBA code to save column J of open workbook called LmbcAcctsPayable.xls, Sheet1, to same workbook & sheet called LmbcAcctsPayable.xls, Sheet1, when save is not selected.
Reason: The workbook is usually not saved because it is more of a templet with names in column A. Column J is updated with a date when a row is used so I need the column J to copy automatically to the blank templet when exiting without saving (using ThisWorkbook.Save = True in Auto_Close). That way, rows not being used for a long period of time can be periodically eleminated.
am using Excel 2010 and having issues trying to save a worksheet to a specified file location with the save date....
I have tried several posts form this forum and elsewhere and can't seem to get the macro to do what I want.....
I want to save a 'worksheet' from an open workbook that I use for updating information to the same file path as the workbook with the date the file saved...
I have an expense report, which was originally done in Excel 2003. It still prompts users to open as read only however if they select no, they are not prompted for the password, and it has allowed them to save, so when the next person opens it, they have the previous person's report instead of the clean workbook. I have tried everything to put a password onto it. I know this is really basic stuff, but maybe I am missing a step? I want the end user to be able to make all the changes they want in read only mode and then do a save as, but if the select No when prompted "Open as Read-only?" they should have to put a password in.
I have three cells checked to make sure data is in them and then the code is meant to save the file with some of the data from those three cells. The checks work but now the save part doesn't! If I comment out two of the checks the save does work.

What I am trying to do is that I have an excel file with macros and it is a read-only file. In order for the user to save, I want them to only be able to save as a .xlsx file as it disables all macros. If for whatever reason, the user wants to save the file as another .xlsm file, they should be allowed but before they save, a "are you sure you want to save as .xlsm?" message should pop up.
All the options in the save as box should still be available in case they want to save in that particular format. Just that the .xlsx should be the default.
I have a UserForm in which i have inserted a CommandButton. I also have a Table on a Sheet in Excel that i would like to save as PDF.
When i click the CommandButton on the UserForm i would like the SaveAs screen to come up and have the Table (or Used Range in the Excel Sheet) as the selection to be Saved as .PDF format.
