Prevent To Only Save On Specified Workbook With VBA
Jan 28, 2013am trying to create a workbook template which collects data from users with user forms and some macros. Users assign a project name when workbook opens and then they are able to save as the workbook with name of project name. But i don't want them to save on my template mistakenly. How do i prevent this? I tried workbook_before close sub but i can manage that it recommends to save workbook with project name and if you don't want, it still asks you if you want to save workbook before close

View 9 Replies View RelatedSave Today() As Value To Prevent Changes On Reopen
Jul 30, 2008I have a spreadsheet that containt a conditional formula to place the current date aka Today() into a cell based on if an entry in the previous cell.
I put in this formula:
=IF(I131>="1",TODAY()," ")
My boss told me to update to this one: (same result)
=IF(I130>="1",DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY()))," ")
BOTH will change the saved sheet data if we open it tomorrow (due to using Today()). We want to retain the date that it was entered on (which will always be the date he puts entry into sheet).
Is there a way to save the sheet and update the code for Today() to the date value so it will appear as a date when it's opened in the future?
Prevent Save Option If Condition Not Met
Sep 28, 2006I have a list dropdown from cells A2 to A10. If only when a user selects "orange", he has to key in some description in column B.
Eg if he selects orange in A2, he has to key in some description in B2.
Is it possible to set some formula or macro which prevents user to save this file if he leave blank in B2 or B10, depending on which row he has select "orange"?
Prevent Save As Version Message
Oct 17, 2006I have an extensive application which I wrote using Excel 2002 (XP - Version 10). However it will likely be used on anything ranging from 2003 - 1997. When I tested it using Excel 97 it gave me the traditional [annoying] message asking if I was sure I wanted to save it under an earlier version than which it was created.
I want to get rid of this message (a lot of my users aren't the most computer literate and the more annoying messages I can avoid the better!)
I tried using:
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
but it doesn't affect this particular message. I need to know how to keep this message from popping up. Please Help.
Under 97 (NOT on my 2002) it also gives a "Do you want to save the changes" message upon closing even though the "DisplayAlerts" is set to false. I'm not sure why this is still coming up.
Prevent Saving Certain Worksheets On Save As
Jan 19, 2008In my program I have prevented the user from saving the Workbook with the following code
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim p As String
Cancel = True
Do While Cancel = True
p = InputBox("Enter password to save file:", "Password Required To Save", "")
If p = "Enter Password Here" Then
Cancel = False
Else
yn = MsgBox("Wrong password. Try again?", vbYesNo, "Invalid Password")
If yn = vbNo Then
Exit Sub
End If
End If
Loop
End Sub
I also need to prevent the user, when they use the save as, from saving certain worksheets. Ex: There are 6 worksheets in the workbook. I only want them to be able to save the first three. Issues: One of the workbooks that I want to allow them to change has a tab name that changes frequently.
Prevent Workbook Save But Allow SaveAs
Jun 24, 2008I've got a workbook that I want to keep intact in a central location on our local network, to make it easier for everybody to access, but don't want people to be able to save changes to the master workbook itself. I'd like to be able to disable the 'Save' feature while still allowing 'SaveAs'. The following code (installed in ThisWorkbook) results in the OPPOSITE of what I'm trying to accomplish (i.e., it allows 'Save' but disables 'SaveAs'):
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
If SaveUI Then
MsgBox "The 'Save' function for this workbook has " & Chr(10) & "been disabled. Please use 'Save As'.", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Save Disabled"
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
Obviously I'd also like to check the filename they're performing the 'SaveAs' under and disallow it if it matches the master filename.
I've thought about making the workbook into a template, which would sort of accomplish the same thing, but it would be much easier to just keep it as a workbook.
Prevent Save Until Save As Used
Mar 21, 2008I am trying to hide/grey SAVE option from the menu bar and reset menu back to normal after Save AS has been used.
I was able to do disable SAVE using the following code.
Application. CommandBars("worksheet menu bar").Controls("File").Controls(4).Visible = False
But
the SAVE icon on the Standard toolbar still exist. Is there any way I can disable it and also prevent CTRL. S being used.
Second part of the question.
Once I use Save as I would like menu to be reset back to normal.

Sep 6, 2012I'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 .
The macro itself is saved in personal.xlsx.
Save As Macro (macro That Opens The Save As Window)
Oct 22, 2008I'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).

Dec 2, 2007I have a spreadsheet that is emailed to someone to fill in. They then fill in some information and send it on to someone else.
Sometimes they don't fill in all the information so is it possible to have excel check that cells are filled in and to prevent someone from saving unless this is so? Or maybe a message stating that the cells need to be completed if Excel is being closed or saved?

Prevent Saving And Allow Only Through Macro
Mar 14, 2007Prevent saving and allow only through Macro
I am contracting an excel template and need to stop users saving the file using “Save” or “Save As”. I am able to do this by using the private sub below:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Me.Saved = True
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
End Sub
I also understand that by switching to “Designer” mode you can save the file and once re opened designer mode will be switched off. What I need is to allow saving using a macro, is there a code that I can insert in the macro to switch designer mode?
Prevent Macro Interruption
Aug 8, 2007I have a macro, that when running needs to display certain sheets that should be hidden again when the macro is done. I solve this by using the code
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = True
'macro code

But what if the macro fails? Or if the user ends it by pressing Esc? Then he will be able to see the hidden sheet. Is there something I can write in the code that makes the macro hide the sheet, then show the error message?

Feb 9, 2009Is there a way to prevent access to the code of a macro? I am interested in sending out some macro's, but would prefer that the user only be able to run them, and not be able to access the code via the edit button. Curiously, there have been occasion's where I wanted to edit my own work, but the edit button did not function, so I had to exit and start over to proceed. From this I'm guessing there must be a way.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMacro To Prevent Changing The Value Within A Cell
Jan 11, 2007I would like to write a macro that performs the following function:
I have a value in cell A1
In cell A2, I have the formula "=A1"
I want to make it so that cell A2 can never be directly changed; the only way to change the value in A2 is by changing A1. A2 should always equal A1.
I want a message box to pop up and alert the user whenever they attempt to modify A2, instructing them that if they wish to change A2, they have to change A1.
I had written this macro, and it kinda does the trick:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("a2") Range("a1") Then
MsgBox "text goes here"
Range("a2").Value = Range("a1")
End If
End Sub
When I attempt to change cell A2, I get the MsgBox popup and it works how I want it to. However, when I alter cell A1, I get the same popup before cell A2 updates (to be precise, the popup occurs after I click another cell). I would like this to be immediate and without a MsgBox.
Prevent Macro From Running If Cell Is Red
Apr 29, 2008I have a macro that is run by clicking on a macro button. The macro copies the data from Sheet1 and pastes it in another sheet, Sheet2.

I would like to add some code to my macro that will not allow it to copy and paste from sheet1 to sheet2 if there are any red cells in the range.

Aug 6, 2008I have an add-in that I'm passing around to my users, and though it has 8 or 9 subs, it only has 2 that they need to see. However, I'd rather not relegate all of the code to a single module, as there is quite a bit of it. I'm aware that I could change all the subs to functions, but they would still appear in the UDF list, and this would also be confusing to the individual responsible for the upkeep of these macros (and I'd have to rework the code a little bit).
I'm just asking if there is any direct way to do this, before I go to the trouble of making a lesser workaround. Google seems to think no, but "don't show macros in list" isn't a very solid search.
Prevent Formula #REF! When VBA Macro Deletes Columns
Aug 5, 2009I'm using the following code to delete columns:
Dim rng As Range
Dim i As Integer, counter As Integer
Set rng = Range("1:1")
i = 1
For counter = 1 To rng.Columns.Count
'If cell i in the range contains an "x",
'delete the column
If rng.Cells(i) = "x" Then
rng.Cells(i).EntireColumn.Delete
Else
i = i + 1
End If
Next
My problem is that I have cells in other worksheets linked to the worksheet that is running this macro and everytime I run it, I get a handful of "#REF" errors. I think this problem might be solved if I could simply delete the contents of the column rather than deleting the entire column. How can I modify my code to do this?

Sep 8, 2006I have to issue template workbooks to people for budgeting purposes.
Within the workbooks are various numbers of worksheets pre -formatted and ready for these people to enter data.
Some of the data in the worksheets is important to them as individuals but not to me so I have a series of macros that lift the information from the worksheets and put it into a worksheet more specific to me.
Because the users are on the whole not that good with Excel I have put in easy to use look up tables and various proctections to stop them adding or deleting rows or columns as this plays havoc with my macros.
There is one thing I have "so far" been unable to do and I wondered if anyone could help.
Is there a macro that I could put somewhere in the workbook which would detect when someone tried to cut and paste and would either put up a message box or stop them doing this?
The reason being they are cutting from one row to another and this is messing up the calculations which are protected.
Is there also a way to stop them changing the name on the sheet tab in the smae way?
Prevent Sheet Change Macro When Solver Runs
May 26, 2009Is there a way to prevent the Workbook_SheetChange event macro from triggering when I run Excel's Solver?
The solver goes through 100 or so iterations changing multiple cells each of which seemed to trigger the Workbook_SheetChange event. If there was a Solver Run event, I could turn off application events, but as far as I know such an event does not exist.
Macro To Save File - Save Name From Cell Containing Date Using Different Date Formatting
Aug 15, 2014I 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.

Excel 3003 :: How To Prevent To Stop Macro Called From A Function
May 3, 2014I am trying to use the simplest code possible (being a novice) to execute a macro which makes a copy of Cell A1:A4 and paste its values to Cells B1:B4 if cell B5=1 (or whatever). The Macro with copy and paste works (I recorded it and in my testing it was ok). And also the function, that contains If-Then status of cell B5, works and calls correctly the Macro.
Yet when the macro is called by the function (=CopyMyCells(B5)), the Macro (MacroCopy) runs - I tested this with a Msgbox - but stops just in doing what I need, i.e. in doing the copy-paste process. Here the code which is placed in a module of the proper Worksheet (Excel 2003, on WinXPSp3):
