I need a macro to open when opening an excel workbook. Viz: When a workbook is opened I would like it to immediately display an 'info/warning' box with some basic advice on how to operate the sheets, once read click yes (continue) and do what is required.
View 4 RepliesI have a great bit of code for a spreadsheet I'm working on by a board regular called Norie;
The code is;
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
If ActiveSheet.Name "ThankYou" Then
Worksheets("ThankYou").Visible = xlSheetVisible
Application.Goto Worksheets("ThankYou").Range("A1"), True
Cancel = True
UserForm1.Show
[code]....
When I open the workbook it shows for about 1 second another sheet in the workbook rather than just instantly showing the "START" tab.
Is there any way to get over this to make this code 100% perfect?
I just really would love upon opening this workbook for the sheet that 1st comes into view to be the START SCREEN TAB, without any flash preview of another sheet.
I want that when i open the workbook i created, it will display a text that seems to look or has an effect that looks like the excel type itself that words on the spreadsheet..Example the text will display in cell D10... i hope i am clear enough... this is the text i want to display upon opening...

To make it user friendly I would like, if possible, to save it so that when opening the file, the two sheets open side by side without the user having to open the new window and juggle with window sizes etc.
I'm looking for a command for a macro, haven't been able to find it thus far. Is it possible to get excel to open a .txt for example, and copy its contents into excel at an activecell?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to write a macro (in Excel) that uses a path that is given in one of the fields of the worksheet to open a workbook and get find a field to return to the original worksheet. I have working code to pull the information from a worksheet within the same workbook, but I can't seem to get it to work with an external worksheet. Can someone assist me in getting this to work?
I have attached my original code that works, so all I need to do is translate it to open the external workbook and worksheet instead of using the local worksheet. This is pretty simple right?
Public Function GetRate(strClassification As String, strContractNo As String) As Integer
I would like to something arranged where a macro I currently have assigned to a button is automatically run once the workbook is opened. The reason being because I would it to be current with todays date. I have done the following and it results in nothing I still need to click the button to get the macro to work.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()

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.

VB:
Function OpenUp(FileLocation) As String
Workbooks.Open (FileLocation)
End Function [code]....
I am having problems to read a number inside a .txt file.
I use this code to open a .txt
Workbooks.OpenText filename:=data_DMC_filename _
, Origin:=xlWindows, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlDelimited, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=True, Semicolon:= _
False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo:=Array(Array _
(1, 1), Array(2, 1)), DecimalSeparator:=",", ThousandsSeparator:=".", _
TrailingMinusNumbers:=True
At original file the number is like this format: 003791689000011403700010, but after opening as workbook it is like this 3,7917E+21
I tried changing the forma to text with this code bellow, but it looses information
Selection.NumberFormat = "0"
and the result is: 3791689000011400000000
I already wrote a lot of my code for other values, using this Workbooks.OpenText command, opening as workbook so I would not like to open the file in text format or so...
I'm having a problem to use the macro for opening a specific worksheet in a workbook. My plan to setup the workbook to open the first worksheet no matter which worksheet that was last saved and close.
What i have in mind is like below macros but it is not working.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Worksheets("Main").Activate
End Sub
Attached is the sample for the workbook. Test file.xlsm
I have a long list of .xls files. I have to open each file, copy a few columns of data and paste it into a single xls file. I can write a macro to do this, the only problem I have is how do I get the macro to open all the xls files with different names ? I am thinking something like sorting the files by date and then let the macro open files from the oldest to the most recent one, but is there a command to do that ?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have attached a spreadsheet with a simple macro. How do i make the macro automatically run when the file is opened.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wrote code for a few macros in a "save as" or practice version of a spreadsheet. Once I got the bugs worked out on the practice book I pasted the code into the actual spreadsheet I want to use. The problem is that whenever I run one of the macros it opens the practice book that I was using when I wrote the code. There should be no need for this and I can't figure out why that's happening. The code doesn't mention any workbook by name so I don't know why it would want to open the practice book.

I am wirking on a macro which opens a 'sourcefile' and then do some filtering and vlookuping to distribute the data to several files. When i run the macro from the VBA editor, everything runs fine. But if i run it from .xls file, the macro stops after opening the 'sourcefile'
Workbooks.Open Filename:=sourcefile

Because I am still a novice and because i wrote this myself, it doesn't work.
I am a novice at excel macro programming. My Excel 2000 macro inexplicably stops after the line: Workbooks.Open Filename:=stAddrFullname, ReadOnly:=True
1) I know that the remainder of the code is not executed because a breakpoint on the following line is never reached.
2) I know that this line is executed because the stAddrFullname workbook is clearly opened and is displayed when the code stops prematurely.
3) No error message is displayed and I have no 'OnError' instructions in the code.
4) (This is the bit I really don't understand). If I put a Breakpoint in the macro anywhere in the function preceding the "Workbooks.Open" statement, the macro reaches the Breakpoint and then runs through to completion with no problem. When I remove the breakpoint, it reverts to stopping as soon as it has opened the Workbook.
5) The stAddrFullname workbook has no macros in it.
I have software that exports to an excel file. The files are one or two page reports. The way the software dumps the reports into excel, it comes out looking pretty rough. The rows and columns aren't spaced very well, the fonts look like garbage, and nobody likes them.
I would like to apply formatting changes to these reports automatically without the end user having to do anything. So as soon as the document is opened up it bolds the column headers, adjusts column widths etc. The reports are auto generated so no formatting can be done when the reports are made.
There may also be different formatting done to different reports. The files will come out named something like, "Report_A_DDMMYYY.xls, Report_B_DDMMYYY.xls," etc. Report A, and Report B will likely need different formatting.
I'm not opposed to using VBA or whatever might be necessary to make this happen. I can learn anything I need to pretty quickly, I just don't know where to start with this.
I'm using a macro to open an other excel file to get data from it. this goes by Workbooks.Open Filename:=totalopen (totalopen =Filepath & filename earlier defined) Because the opening file can have the same filename, my question; is it possible to open the latest/newest saved file? So also look at the saving date/time of opening excel file.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI Have a tool which will be used online & offline.
I would like a box to appear on the opening of the spreadsheet which asks the user "Are you online?", with options "Yes" & "No", if the user selects "Yes" then a macro (which i have already written) refreshes the spreadsheet.
if the user selects "No", the sheet is not resfreshed.
What is the best way to do this?
I'm working on a macro for work. It's a simple workbook with about 10 tabs. I would like for the user to open up the workbook but it not have the prompt foir enabling or disabling macros. Just on this one sheet, not other macros on other sheets.
I have a macro that at the moment just opens a workbook SpreadsheetA.xls,
Sub OpenA
Workbooks.Open Filename:=C:DocumentsSpreadsheetA.xls, UpdateLinks:=0
End Sub
SpreadsheetA.xls has a macro called "ExpectedRun" which is currently operated by clicking a commandbutton.
What is the code to run the "ExpectedRun" Macro in Sub OpenA?
Eventually I'll be opening a bunch of these workbooks, each with its own unique "ExpectedRun" macro, so is there any special command to call on the "ExpectedRun" macro for specifically the opened workbook?
I was wondering if there is a way to open up a given program (notepad in my example) ..paste data from cells copied in excel and save the notepad file to a specific location and close it out??
The file path will be given from a data cell in excel as well as the file name.
From searching the forums i've come up with the way to open notepad
using the lines
Dim RetVal As Variant
RetVal = Shell("C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32
otepad.exe")
I've been using the following bit of code to run a macro at the specified time:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Application .OnTime TimeValue("12:00:00"), "GetData"
End Sub
The GetData sub executes a shell script and then pulls data from the result. The problem is that the macro runs 140+ times, and so I get 140 windows popping up and the system practically stops. I can't figure out why this is happening, as there are no loops or any sort of repetition in the code. Any help is greatly appreciated as this problem occurs with more than just the one spreadsheet.
I am basically using a combobox in word that opens an excel spreadsheet and pulls information about the people entered in the combobox. The information pulled from excel is then pasted into the original word document.
The problem that I am having is that the macro may be needed to run twice (ex. suppose the user forgot to include an individual in the first run) and on the second run the excel document cannot be opened and it gets stuck on the loop. The macro will only work again if the word document is closed and reopend. I suspect that the excel document is not completly closing on the first runthrough.
I've included my code below. The initialize combobox code is on the bottom. I

I have been trying to create a Macro that can do the following.
Open a Excel Workbook, Copy the Worksheets that I need (ignoring ones that are not needed.), Save them in the correct location with a new folder of date and time and saving them as csv files.
I have all the elements but can't seem to get them to gel correctly.
Just wondering if anyone has anything like this that I could adapt or edit.
I have a user form with a TextBox (TextBox1), the user enters a filename and presses CommandButton1, this then opens the file. I have set an error trap so that if the file does not exist a MsgBox prompts the user to re-enter. So far so good, however if the error trap operates any further files entered are declared as non-existent even if I know they exist. I thought this would be quite easy but once again VBA bites me back!!
here is my code
Sub CommandButton1_Click()
stPath = ThisWorkbook.Path
stFilename = "Retention" & "" & TextBox1 & ".xls"
stFullname = stPath & "" & stFilename 'completes full path of for TextBox1
On Error Goto Errorhandler: 'go to this if file does not exist
Workbooks.Open stFullname
ActiveWorkbook.RunAutoMacros xlAutoOpen
Currently I am using VBA Code below to Stop Update links prompts
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Workbooks.Open "C:TempBook2.xls", UpdateLinks:=False
End Sub
Is there code I can use such This Workbook so that I can save this file as another name and it will work? Biz Auto Merged Post;Dear All, I have found VBA code that works.

Code to save a file C:DesktopFile.xls to a different path say F:New.xls as a backup.
I want this to happen every 1 hour so that if in case my original sheet File.xls is corrupted or deleted, I have a backup data (New.xls) which was last saved.
And also File.xls need not be necessarily open.
