I'm trying to close out excel through a user form (excel is hidden) button but excel crashes when it reaches the application.quit line of code.
I searched google and found one message that said that if you have add-ins that they can cause excel to crash when closing but there was no explanation or work around.
I hate to have to come back to the forum after I Thanked you all for solving my problem, but here I am.
The code below disables the (X) button, no problems
Option Explicit Public BooleanForClosing As Boolean Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) If BooleanForClosing = False Then Cancel = True MsgBox "Please Use Exit Button" End If End Sub
The next code saves the workbook , but won't Quit the programme and goes back to the Exit Button ...
I did the huge macro that names a bunch of dynamic ranges, all similar to the following: Range("=OFFSET(BD!$C$32,0,1,1,COUNT(BD!$32:$32))").Name = "ChtBDLabel"
I tested it as I went along, so I know it was working. Then I worked on several other tasks (copying the range to another location on the sheet, making graphs from the ranges). Now when I go back to run this again, I get: Run-time error '1004': method 'Range' of object '_Global' failed. I went and looked what I thought were my named ranges, and they were wrong (not dynamic, just a cell reference). I deleted them and tried again with same error.
why my keyboard navigation keys (Tab and arrow keys) quit working after the code below executes? Other keyboard keys like alpha or numeric characters and Enter work but I can't move to another cell without clicking it. Selecting another ws, then returning to the "Master" ws fixes the problem. I tried activating Master near the end of the code but that didn't help. Master is not a protected sheet.

I'm having a bit of a issue at getting Excel to fully shut down. it is still running in the Task Manager. There is a bit of infomation on the net about but i can;t seem to make it go away. I'm using Excel 2007 and running VBA code out of MSaccess 2007
I Wrote a little program that seems to be working quite nice. The user never sees Excel but will work with userforms. I have lately come across a very irritating problem: If the user clicks on "Exit" I run the code
It does the job but about a minute after the whole program has exited and you are "back in windows" I get the. Microsoft Office Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close. error message. Is my file corrupt? Can I fix it? Am I exiting the wrong way?
I'm sure there is a way to disable the 'X' (quit) button in the top right-hand corner of the EXcel application (not the 'X' for individual workbooks), or the hook the quit event so that I can run code that shut down the application cleanly? I'm sure a Windows API call is involved but do not know enough about that side of programming to know for sure.
I have a worksheet using several columns and 100 rows. Column B and column C can contain a value "x" in either coulmn but not both in a specific row. The macro illustrated works perfectly for what I need but there must be a way to point the macro to a range of rows rather than using an "if" statement for each row as I've done.
I want to create a new excel application through macro. I basically want to transfer few columns from the parent workbook to new workbook. but these new workbook must be contained in a new excel application.
Ive got a script in which I call another script using the Application.Run method. The exact line is below:
Application.Run "'" & wb & ".xls'!save_case", sheetname, fieldvalue The macro runs fine, but after that a different workbook becomes active. There are a couple more lines of code after the line above that don't get executed (ive tested this by putting a MsgBox command after it).
How do i pass control back to the starting subroutine? Or should it and there is something wrong with my code?
I want a macro that run the application GetOpenFilename (or something that is similar) but when I push the OK button, i don't want to open the file, I just want the filename of the file I have browsed to.
I was looking at Colo's website for the Application.SendKeys method, http://puremis.net/excel/code/039.shtml ,so that I can speed up a page/print setup macro that I have.
I was partially successful in setting this up, but I did notice that there was no argument number in that method for setting up the "Fit to x Pages Wide" and "y Pages tall".... I really need that functionality....
I saw something here that is supposed to get the zoomfactor : http://groups.google.com/group/micro...8d0?scoring=d& but I can't seem to incorporate it into my code so that it works.
I want to change Arg13:=79 to Arg13:= Zoomfactor, but I just ain't cutting it as each page is a different size and I am running this from Personal.xls ....
Is it possible to use a macro that needs parmeters as part of an application.ontime instruction? - I am getting a macro cannot be found error message. If I change the called macro so that parameters are not required, it is found OK (but obviously isn't doing what I want anymore!).
I reckon it is something to do with the quotations around the macro name
I have a program that produces data while im working on it, i want to start an excel macro (excel app running in background) from a keyboard shortcut that imports the current data. I cant think of a workaround, letting the macro run on a timer isnt possible since i want to be able to decide when exactly it imports the data, without the need for alt-tabbing out of the program (since its an directX app so alt-tab takes time and is annoying).
I have macro running with time application. when msgbox pops up, excel tab on windows taskbar should flashes, but it doesn't.When switch to excel, didn't even see the msgbox until I click on any cell.
I have a fairly elaborate close-down routine for my workbook.
1) Quit out of fullscreen (restore initial state of excel before saving) 2) Hide all sheets but one (enforces cant do anything unless macros enabled) 3) Automatically save without a prompt 4) Close the workbook
I've researched it well and implemented it to the point where it works, but only if the user clicks the excel application close button -- the "X" in the titlebar (hence not in fullscreen).
However, if I launch the process via a userform button click, then for some reason the DisplayFullscreen = False, Sheets hiding, and save codes have no effect (fullscreen persists, sheets are not hidden, no file is saved) in the Workbook_BeforeClose() subroutine....
I repeat: all the above works fine if process was launched by "native" excel button, but does not have any effect if launched from a userform commandbutton. (?!?!) any ideas what's going on?
I'm including my code so you can get an idea how it's structured.... by it's pretty "by the forum" as far as I can tell...
Private Sub CloseButton_Click() If(1) Then 'Method 1 - close directly from userform command button With ThisWorkbook '.RunAutoMacros (xlAutoClose) .Close End With Else 'Method 2 - set a timer to call a function to perform ' "ThisWorkbook.close" in a function outside of the userform CustMenuCloseTimer = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 2) Application .OnTime CustMenuCloseTimer, "CustMenu_CloseAction" End If
Im copying and pasting data from one workbook to another but when I want to close the source workbook, it comes up with this message that I have much data and if I want to keep this in a clipboard. I thought I could disable this with Application.DisplayAlerts = False but when I do this, Excel freezes. Im I doing something wrong. How can I supress this window?
Public path As String Sub Get_data() path = "\Nlchoosa.nlOPS_Processes$OPS_ProcessesReports Sector performance" Workbooks.Open Filename:=path & "ReportsSector Performance Reporting week.xls" Range("A1").Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select Selection.copy Windows("Sector Performance report Week.xls").Activate ActiveSheet.Paste Application.DisplayClipboardWindow = False Windows("Sector Performance Reporting week.xls").Activate Application.DisplayAlerts = False End Sub
Firstly you don't need to know anything about Bloomberg to answer this query, only that Bloomberg has various functions that take time to update.
The code Application.Run "RefreshEntireWorkbook" will update these functions but Application.OnTime (Now + TimeValue("00:00:25")), "RunList" is required to allow them time to get the data from the feed. However this only works if the refresh and wait commands are in a seperate function. So in simplified terms it must go like this in vba:
I want to make a macro where it will use the current filename of the workbook I have open (where is says New Quote Sheet 2.xls below) Is there something I can put where it will use the current filename when the filename is changed?
New Quote Sheet is a read-only template, and when a new quote is started, it is renamed.
With the help of Professional Excel Developement by Bullen Bovey and Green, I am building a Dictator Application. All-in-all, it is coming very well, EXCEPT that I can't seem to get the IgnoreRemoteRequests setting to get written to the registry properly on ShutDown.
On Open, I change this setting to True. In the BeforeClose event, I reset it to False, along with all of the Settings that I hosed on Open. All of the other settings get properly saved on exit, however, the IgnoreRemoteRequests is still set to True the next time Excel gets re-opened.
I've probably spent the last 4 hours reading posts from a bunch of different boards as well as this one, and I can't seem to pinpoint my problem. I'm trying to access data from a closed workbook via the following:
