Message Box "Macro Running OK"
Oct 12, 2008
I'm running a macro that can take a while so I want to let the user know that the macro is running OK. I've put the following line in my code
MsgBox "Searching BOM's", vbInformation
The problem is that it requires the user to press OK before it runs the macro, then the box goes off and the macro runs. What I really want to do is display a box that doesn't require user input, and stays on the screen while the macro is running and goes off automatically when the macro is finished. When the macro is finished it will either show a page of search results, or another message box saying Not Found, which requires an OK response from the user.

Is it possible to have a confirmation message box if you click a button to run a macro, eg "Are you sure you want to Insert a new row?" with "Yes" and "Cancel".
For purpose of this question my current macro is
Code:
Sub Button3_Click()
Rows(ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller).TopLeftCell.Row + 2).Insert Shift:=xlDown
End Sub

I'm trying to control the number of ways people can mess-up this worksheet. I have several buttons that copy one object from a worksheet "FISH PARTS" and paste them onto another "THE JUMPER FISHBONE"
My question is can I prevent people from copying objects from the first worksheet if they already exist on the second? Specific to the code below: how do I make sure "BONE_1" doesn't already exist on the worksheet "THE JUMPER FISHBONE" before allowing it to be copied from the other worksheet. And can I generate a message box that tells the user the object already exists on the page.

When clicking the button on my userform, it goes through a quite complex process of changing the views in several pivot tables that are linked to an "report" sheet, which has all the figures the user needs in a neat format.
Changing these pivot tables takes up to a minute, so I wanted a userform, called "frmwait", to pop when clicking the command button. It would say "Generating Your Report - Please Wait". At the same time, the initial userform, which is called "frmroutedashboard", would be hidden.
This does not happen - the "frmwait" userform shows, however the "frmroutedashboard" does not hide.
Is this because the code I composed uses the values on the "frmroutedashboard" to generate the view, and it cannot hide until the report is completed? If so, there must be a way around this. Anyone know how?
The initial code so far looks like this:
frmroutedashboard.hide
Application.Cursor = xlWait
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayStatusBar = True
Application.StatusBar = "Updating Route Dashboard..."
I thought if it looked like this, it would be sufficient. Unfortunately, the file is too large to attach, so I hope the code suffices.
frmroutedashboard.hide
frmwait.show
Application.Cursor = xlWait
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayStatusBar = True
Application.StatusBar = "Updating Route Dashboard..."

I have code to open another workbook and run a specific macro. I plan to then take that and copy it over to my workbook.
The problem I am encountering is when I run this macro, at the end of the code, a form/msg pops up stating it is complete. This then automatically stops my code from running (from my original workbook). How do I close this form in order to keep my code running?

Here in our department we made a pretty elaborate macro that takes a report and sorts them out to 17 different sheets in a one workbook. This Macro pulls a file from a specific location on our server and then opens the CSV sorts it out color codes all the important information and saves it back onto the server under you specific initials.
They are four PC's along with our Managers laptop that run this Macro daily.
About 3 weeks ago my Managers laptop stops running the Macro completely and hangs in the middle of the whole thing. Eventually crashing Excel.
We try to remove the modules and re-import them back into the personal macro workbork but this does not work. The Macro's did not change and still fully function on the other four desktops to this day.
I uninstall Office on my Managers laptop and reinstall. Import the Modules again and still hangs up in very same spot it did 3 weeks ago.
I've tried to lower the macro security to the lowest level also and I've still had no luck with this laptop. I don't understand. The Macro's function perfectly on other PC's but will not function on this laptop.

I have a Macro (AutomateReport) that, among other things, calls and runs a macro (ReportStep1) in another workbook.
ReportStep1 includes three prompts asking the user to press "OK" to confirm that the data included is correct. When I call ReportStep1 as part of my larger macro I would like to suppress these prompts or automatically respond "OK" so that I don't have to be bothered with them.
SendKeys works sometimes, but I am hoping for a more reliable method.

I'm trying to get a macro to run when the user presses the save button. I have the following code:
[Code] .......
This code is supposed to apply the TRIM function to every worksheet in the workbook when the user presses save, and the saves the results. I understand the Private Sub bit is the code to have the macro run during the save, but for some reason the macro itself isn't actually running. I'm not getting any error message, its just that the cells which should have the TRIM function applied to them aren't being corrected.

I have a macro that takes about a minute to run. I would like to add a progress bar to appear once the macro starts running. There are no loops in the macro. What are my options?

I have 3 different sheets with a private sub on each all labelled
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
The macro's runs fine on each page.
I want to put a macro on a separate sheet that i can run each of those macro's
I did initially copy the original private macro and change the
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
to
sub report()
But I couldn't do all 3 in the same manner. i did change each name to something different... the other 2 subs did run, but they didn't do anything except put the massage box on the end saying that "the macro has finished".
The private macros are on sheets 26, 28 and 12.

I have 7 different workbooks as part of my daily routine.
At present the first workbook is opened via the task scheduler, and the macro is run using the following code
[Code] .....
This then opens the next workbook and closes the current one. The next workbook then runs its macro again from a timed call
[Code] ...........
This repeats for 7 workbooks. The problem is, if a macro overruns - the whole schedule is out of sync when macro's are called depending on the time. What I would like to do, is link each macro by calling for the next one, and closing the current workbook. However, when i have tried to do this, the macro has always stopped when the workbook has been closed - the next macro doesn't run.

Below is the entire code that I am using. It is a simple routine which checks whether a part has started its release process or not, based upon dates. The code works and does what I want.
The problem that I have is that it is very slow, for example it takes 35 seconds to go through 530 lines items. In my (limeted) experiance, based on other VBA doodlings this slow.

I have 2 workbooks (Workbook1 and Workbook2).
Workbook 1 contains a button, that calls a macro. This macro calls a macro from Workbook 2.
For this, I am using the Application.Run function.
The Macro in Workbook2 is a simple one line macro that updates cell A2 to a value of 6.
Range("A2").Value = 6
This works fine!
However, I want the the cell A2 in WORKBOOK1 to change to 6, not the cell in Workbook 2.
To add an element of difficulty, Workbook 1 could have any name (I won't know what it is, as the user could change it).
How can I get the Macro in Workbook 2 (Called from Workbook1), to update the cells in Workbook 1.

How do I ask for a confirmation box before running a macro, but only one time. What I mean is some of the macros I use loop and it wouldn't be practical to click on "ok" for each time the macro ran.
So again I just need some code to tack on to the beginning of a couple of my macros that will ask me before they run but only once.

I have a spreadsheet containing a macro to automatically sum values from week to week and display the max/min and average. This is almost fully working. The problem I have is the macro copies the sum formula down the page and doesn't stop at the last row. It always adds one or two extra rows. The formula should stop at row 77 however this does not happen and therefore the sum keeps going. Which in turn, distorts the max/min figures.

I am trying to utilise a vba script for DNS resolution which i got from Followup: DNS Lookup and Ping in Excel - CodeProject
I have a list of IP addresses that I want to use this on, however if I test this by using the test instructions, excel does nothing, its just text in a cell, so I would like to know how would this procedure get called from the spreadsheet?
Code:
GetHostname("4.2.2.1") in any Excel cell.
or
Use: GetIpAddress("www.google.com") in any Excel cell.

Sub Auto_Close()
FileCopy "C:Documents and SettingsdaveDesktopWorking olderPlanner.xls", "S:LeavePlanner.xls"
End Sub
I've checked that the Auto_Close feature is what I need, but it just doesn't seem to be running
I've tried it from clicking the x, and also File>Close, but with the same lack of success

I have a problem which involves calling an excel macro from another application – in this case, ruby.
$excel.Run "ActionCommands.xlsm!CreateDynamicDataSources"
Here is the simplified macro that it calls
Sub CreateDynamicDataSources()
MsgBox "Hello"
ActiveCell.Select
ActiveCell.Formula = "Hello"
End Sub
The good news is, the macro is indeed being called because the MsgBox is executing. It may even be able to read cells and send the data back to ruby or display it in a message box. The bad news is I can’t select a sheet or cell and actually write to it! When I call this macro from Excel it works as expected. How do I fool Excel (2007) into thinking it’s OK to allow these operations. There is no explicit message that says “Hey this is in read only mode” but I suspect that is what is going on.

I have a macro running with columns from A to H and ''infinite'' rows
+conditionnal formating and one formula for the value in column D
I'd like to add one more condition, but I can't figure how...
*I'd like to add a step to the macro on sheet1 to automatically move a whole row (a to h) to sheet2 as soon as my equation in column D find a value = 0
after each row is transfered, i'd like to sort it in a descending order on sheet2 based on the number value in column A
what to add to get this to work
Private Sub WorkSheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub 'Only run if 1 cell is changed
If Target.Column 8 Then Exit Sub 'Only run if change is in Column "F"
If Target = Cells(Target.Row, "A") Then 'Check to see if entry matches column "A"
Else:
MsgBox "Invalid entry"
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Undo
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
Range(Cells(2, 1), Cells(Target.Row, 8)).Sort Key1:=Cells(2, 8), Order1:=xlDescending
End Sub

I am trying to run a Macro every tenth of a second. The usual method (with "Now" and "TimeDate") cannot do that; I found on the website that one can use "Timer" but I did not manage to make it work.
