Msgbox Won't Disappear When Opening Inputbox

Sep 17, 2012

I've created some code so that when users want to update something on and Excel template I'm creating for them that the information they've put in is backed up. They give the backup a name using an inputbox and it loops through previously loaded backups that I've stored in a separate sheet and checks if the backup already exists. If it does a msgbox appears to ask them if they want to replace the existing copy. If they choose not to, it re-opens the inputbox.

The issue I'm having is that the msgbox doesn't close before the input box opens and it looks messy and may be confusing. Is there any way, without creating a useform, that I can force the msgbox to close once the user has made a choice before the inputbox opens?

Here is the code:

Code:
1
BackName = InputBox("Give the backup a name", "Backup Name")
If BackName = "" Then GoTo 2

For i = 1 To LR1
If UCase(Sheet18.Cells(i, 1).Value) = UCase(BackName) Then
If MsgBox("Backup already exists. Replace?", vbYesNo) = vbYes Then

[Code] ......

What Can Cause A Variable Type To Disappear

Apr 20, 2009

One of my workbooks won't allow me to use the VBE variable types (VBProject, VBComponent, etc.) They aren't on the popup list that appears when I type " as ". If I just type in "VBProject", I get a compile error "User-defined type not defined". I have to define the variable as object, and the macro still works. I do not have this problem in any other workbook.

Buttons Disappear On Some Machines

Nov 9, 2006

In recent weeks, when I've been asked to demonstrate excel applications which make use of buttons, I've found that on some machines the buttons will variably display as flat grey rectangles with no label, or boxes with red 'x's, or alternatively not appear at all. There seems to be no pattern since the variations have all happened on single machines, then not at all on similar machines.

So far it has only been company laptops (not my own machine), hooked up to overhead projectors which end up with this problem. I can't think of anything I would have done manually to disable the buttons from appearing.

Is this a known issue, or is this simply down to the user preferences and/or security settings?

Column Disappear When Using Advanced Filtering Through VBA

Jul 9, 2014

Why after the first loop (Z=2) all of a sudden column A in WS ATT disappears. Worth adding that column M in WS L is a "dynamic" range (at first it contains 7 cells) in the sense that it shrinks with each loop (M2:M8, second loop: M2:M7 etc.).

Formulas Won't Disappear When Leave The Cell

Dec 5, 2011

I have a worksheet (in a workbook with many worksheets) where some of the cells display the formula I put in after I leave the cell. I've made sure that the cell format is General before I type anything in the cell. I've inserted new rows, above where the problem is and have tried going to another cell in a different part of the work sheet but I have the same problem. I use the same formulas in two other worksheets. The formulas include other worksheets in them. example =IF(PlotMaster!B2="","",PlotMaster!B2). I can't figure out what is going on.

Userform Print Preview Pop-Up Won't Disappear?

Jun 19, 2013

I created a macro that prints a label from a userform. The macro used to reside on an XP platform and performed without issues. IT decided they wanted to upgrade the machine to a Windows 7 platform. Now when the userform prints a small window pops up that looks like a print preview of the label, however it is transparent and has a window caption of 'Precut Label' as identified in the userform design. I am including a screenshot of the pop-up. The unusual thing about this is the window cannot be closed, moved or selected in any way shape or form. The only way to get it to close is to view the userform object in the vba editor. The line of code that triggers the print sequence as well as cause the pop-up is: frmLabel.PrintForm. This line of code is housed in the sheet1 object.

Grid Lines Disappear When Importing Data

Jan 16, 2007

I sometimes import data in the copy-paste way from completely different sources, eg. a program on the web or whatever, which has arranged the data in a table.

It is often succesful with the data neatly arranged in the spreadsheet in columns and rows and all, but sometimes the gridlines disappear even though 'cell format' is set to 'none' in 'grid lines' and the settings have a mark for 'visible grid lines' and their color is 'automatic'. Only the imported area misses the gridlines.

It is of course possible to set some grey gridlines manually in cell format, but then I get them on the print also and I don't want that.

Cells With Instructions Which Disappear When Data Entered?

Jan 29, 2009

creating a template for people. In the template, I want to create cells which instruct the user on what need to be filled in that cell.

For eg. go to [URL] In the box, it says 'Enter word or phrase'. When you click to enter a word, this line vanishes. I want to create a similar thing in Excel.

In Excel, for eg, in a cell it should say 'Enter Name' and when the user enter his name, this instruction should vanish. Also, this instruction should be in GREY and when they user enters his name it should be BOLD BLUE.

I'm using excel 2010. I have a spreadsheet with a row that is hidden. One cell in this row contains a button.

Graph Lines Disappear When Group Or Hide Data

Mar 11, 2014

I have a file sheet named "ratio summary." The data to this is linked to a number of different working sheets (not in the attachment for obvious reasons)

Currently the data in the ratio summary is grouped by year but "open" and the Graph worksheet is automatically linked to the data in row11.

However when I group the data by year (i.e. clicking the "-" figure) the graph also changes.

I haven't deleted the data so don't understand why the graph data is changing.

MouseOver Cell That Makes Apear And Disappear An Image

Dec 15, 2009

I would like to do a routine in VBA on excel 2007 that makes the following:

1- When the mouse is over a cell it pops-up a window that shows a picture;
2- When the pointer is removed from the cell the window that contains the picture closes;
It is very important that the picture that is shown be adressed by a relative path from the folder in which is the excel file.

The pictures can change; this is the reason that the picture should be addressed by a path.

Opening A File Without Opening A Workbook

Apr 17, 2007

I have a need to open a file from my companies intranet. My current method was to open said file via the method that the recorder gave me. However, I would like ot be able to open a said file without having to start open another workbook.

This is the path:
[url]

So the command is this:
Workbooks.Open [url]

Links are not actual links

So what I need to know. Is how can I open this file without opening a workbook. I haven't been able to use the VB "Open Statement" to open a file and I don't believe that I've been successfull using the Filesystem object either.

Macro That Deletes Sheet With Control & Shows UserForm Causes UserForm To Disappear

Jun 15, 2009

This is weird - if you delete a sheet that contained a control then

a. showing a modeless userform resluts in a userofrm that goes invisible at subroutine End
b. public variables lose their value

These things do not happen if the sheet did not contain a control. Attached is an example file - put the inputfile.xls in your default file location (or add a path in the code) then open the ProblemDemo.xls and run the main macro to see it fal - isthis another Excelbug I've found?

VBA Inputbox

Sep 25, 2008

I have another dilema. I am writing a macro that essentially takes a template from a workbook and copies it to another workbook that already has data. the data is then imputed into the pasted template through the macro... my dilema is that I have numerous data sheets so at the begining of the code I need the macro to pause so the user can manually select the cell or range that the copied template is to be pasted too... I was thinking an inputbox would work but I am unsure how to write this part of the code.
