Minimize Excel Window But Keep It Visible In Taskbar
Jun 27, 2014
I'm working on an Excel workbook that is opened by a batch file, updates information, copy and pastes that information to PowerPoint, and closes itself after spending two minutes idle. This is all for an employee communication monitor that runs 24/7. However, I don't like that the Excel spreadsheet displays on the monitors for two minutes every time it opens and runs.
Right now I was using the bit of code below to minimize the workbook when it was done copying and pasting the information. It works fine for the monitors, but the application is not visible in the Taskbar.
Sub Workbook_Open()
...
Application.Visible = False
End Sub
Is there anyway to minimize the workbook while keeping the window visible in the taskbar?

i was recently upgraded to Excel 2003 and have found that whenever i open more than one workbook, it opens in a new window on the taskbar (similar to opening another application)... I remember having this in my previous version of excel but i can't for the life of me remember how i switched this off?

I currently have a small userform placed at the bottom right of the screen (with a command button on it) and this opens up on top of excel instances and other applications/windows and it is set so that you can't interact with anything except the userform.
I wanted to minimize the userform and give focus to immediate next window (can be excel or non excel applications) for 10 seconds and then activate/show the userform back again, when the "Button 1" on the userform is clicked.
I tried hiding the userform, but this doesn't give focus to the immediate next window. Below is the code
Private Sub Button_Click()
Me.Hide
PauseApp (10)
Me.Show
End Sub
I could only find answers for adding minimize and maximize buttons to userform.
When the button is clicked, it should perform
Step a - Minimize the userform
Step b - Give focus to the next immediate window behind the userform
Step c - Wait for 10 seconds
Step d - Bring back the userform its to state.

When I open more than one Excel file, it used to display them as separate icons on my task bar. But for some reason, now I only get one one icon, and I have to go to Windows on the Menu Bar to switch between them. I can't use Alt/Tab anymore. It only affects Excel.

In Excel 2003 multiple Excel workbooks were separate tabs in the Task Bar.
Very easy to tab between open workbooks, with the keyboard -OR- minimum mouse travel to select an alternative tab/workbook.
In Excel 2010 there is only one tab for "Excel", and the only way I can find to toggle between workbooks is the "File" ribbon tab and the oceanic flourishes of "lists" and mouse travel and clicks ... to activate another open workbook. And guessing at file names because the left hand strip, "Recent Files", is way to narrow for even a modest file name.
Is there a setting/shortcut-keys that makes tabbing between workbooks more 21st century "time" efficient ?

I recon, IF Excel is hidden than Windows doesnt see it with ALT Tabs as program and doesnt put it as program in the taskbar.
Is it possible to set a form active as a program? While hide Excel?

Excel will hang up as if it's gone into a continuous loop (Although no looping macros are active) when you open or close a user form. The task bar in Excel will flash Ready Calculate. Visual basic reports no code is running but excel either crashes or becomes very unresponsive. I have to exit and reopen excel in order to fix the problem . It also doesn't happen at any one specific point it can vary. I have various VLOOKUPs around the workbook and userforms display the correct information. I use the INDEX formula in the control source of textboxes. I also use the offset formula to make sure DTPICKER displays correctly.
I am using 'Option Explicit' at the start of all my code. I have tried a 3rd party code cleaner. No visual Basic references are MISSING

I am using Windows 7 and have a piece of code that brings up a warning message after 20 minutes to warn the user they have been in a workbook for too long.
If they have the Excel application window minimized, is there a way to get Excel to take the application out of minimized mode into max screen, before revealing the message.
Currently when the warning message activates, the excel icon just flashes in the start bar. Some users may not see this.
Here is the code I have so far:
[Code] ....
I have already tried simply adding a piece of code with maximize screen, however this doesn't seem to work.

I am very new to programming in excel, so bear with me. I need to have a window that pops up when you load excel. I need it to say something like
If A2 > A1, then the popup should say "value exceeded in row 1"
If B2 > B1, then the popup should say "value exceeded in row 2"
If both of the statements above are true, then I would like both of the errors to be in the same window/popup, instead of two seperate ones. I hope thats clear.

I am in a middle of creating macro that makes some calculations in a file downloaded from SAP.
This Macro is in a form of a userform with 8 optionBoxes more then10 Option Buttons then after clicking on a specific button a certain action is being performed it looks like this:
Capture.JPG - PicShot.pl
The code is in one file and I would like the macro operations to be performed on data that are in separate file.
Both are open while perforing macro action, and sometimes I'm getting a stop because macro is being performed in a file with code.
Referencing it with something like:
Windows(FN).activate where FN is defined as the name of a file that is being prepared by "Prepare Template" button.

I have a spread sheet that I have written that has 2 html links in it. The links work, but they only open in one browser tab. How do I get them to open in different tabs? Opening in two different browser sessions would be acceptable too. I have Excel 2007 and IE 9 but the users may have different versions.

I compared data between excel worksheets all the time, well recently my computer was upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 and since then I have not been able to figure out how to have an Excel file to open in the Excel window selected(or last active window) when I have more than one workbook open. Is there a way to do this?

How to use an Excel worksheet I have, so I decided to make a button with a macro, which when clicked a kind of message box pops up and you can read the tutorial. When you are done you just press ok and the pop up window closes.
I know about vba I just have to use msgbox, keep on adding lines with the text and that's it! But after many attempts I found out that it ain't that easy.
[Code] ......
So I made something like this:
[Code] ....
but at a point I got this error: "Too many lines continuations".
I wanna make something that looks a bit like this: p69pxC8.jpg
But way simpler, with my text, a scroll bar to roll up and down to read and an ok button at the end. I don't need special text with hyperlinks or anything at all, plain text does the job.
It just now crossed my mind, would it be viable to also add a "Print" button next to the "Ok" button in the pop up windows with the tutorial, so when the "Print" button is clicked, the tutorial is printed?

I have this module that is supposed to delete rows containing some words and those that are entirely empty..
The macro works fine when I open the file for the first time (excel as well) but subsequently if i try to run it again, the macro doesnt work anymore. What could possibly be causing this bug?
Private Sub DeleteRows()
ScreenUpdating = True
Dim Rng1 As Range
Dim X As String
X = " TOTAL"
Do
Set Rng1 = ActiveSheet.UsedRange. Find(X)
If Rng1 Is Nothing Then
Exit Do
Else
Rows(Rng1.Row).Delete
End If
Loop............

We are running Office 2010 part of Office Professional Plus 1010 (corporate install). We have added both the Analysis Toolpak and Analysis Toolpak - VBA to the add-Ins and have the button on the toolbar, however when we click on the button, we don't get the popup window allowing the user to pick the analysis tool they want to use. Have tried this on a number of PCs (we all run the same version) and it doesn't work on any of them.
What we have to do do make this toolpak work?

I have tried to define an alternative start-up folder (my goal is to have a PUBLIC.XLSB to store Macros every one can use)
BUT: When I do this, Excel does not start with any open workbook anymore. It starts with a blue background, and need to click "New" first for a workbook to open and work in.
How do I avoid this? One solution that would work, but requires the user to have Macros activated, is to add a workbook during the opening of Excel, but I would like to avoid this.

I am using Excel2010.
My sheet displays values collected from a database via an AddIn. The values are updated by pressing CTRL+G (AddIn function).
I have an OnTime macro running SendKeys "^G" to update the values every minute. When the values exceed a certain limit, a sound is played from a custom Alarm function.
This all works as long as the excel window is active.
But if excel is minimized or another window is opened, the values stop updating until Excel is active again.
When the values dont update the sound is not played and that defeats the purpose of the sheet.

I was wondering if this code is supposed to make the icon on the taskbar change to the custom icon as well?
If not, what would need to be added or changed to make it so?
It changes the Userform Icon without issue and adds the userform to the taskbar, but it is not updating the icon on the taskbar.
