the following workbook open event which repeats a macro called "Refresh" every 30 minutes. However, there is another macro "tame_blph" that i wanna call at 12 midnight everyday.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Call tame_blph
NextTick = Now + TimeValue("00:30:00")
Application .OnTime NextTick, "Refresh", , True
End Sub
Is it even possible to have multiple Workbook open events and/or multiple NextTick or something?
Private Sub Workbook_Open() If ActiveWorkbook. Name = "UserA.xls" Then Call PreviewList Else Cancel = True End If End Sub
After the macro auto-startup, UserA works on the worksheet and input some procedures and save as ClientA.xls. However, before save as ClientA.xls and close, UserA wants to change the worksheet name and Procedure name as below, how to do that?
Private Sub Workbook_Open() If ActiveWorkbook.Name = "ClientA.xls" Then Call RevisedList Else Cancel = True End If End Sub
I have a real simple question about what command to enter in order to stop a macro. All the macro does is "press the F9 key" every second. I use a button to start the loop but I am unable to find a way to use another button to stop the process. Ive copied my macro below:
Sub Go() Calculate Application .OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "Go" End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() "Go Button" Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "Go" End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click() "Stop Button" '???????????????????????? End Sub
I've been setting the above property to TRUE after making some changes in the Workbook_open event in order to stop annoying messages if you haven't physically made changes.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to copy through to the workbook_beforeclose event and I'm being asked if I want to save changes even though the macro made the changes and then set the property. Here's my code for the open event :-
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Application.ScreenUpdating = False On Error Resume Next For counter = Worksheets.Count To 2 Step -1 Sheets(counter).Visible = xlVeryHidden Next Sheets("Desktop").Visible = True Sheets(1).Visible = xlVeryHidden.....
I want to use this command when I open every workbook.
How do I do that? I know you're supposed to put the macro in the thisworkbook module in the workbook, but I have 600 workbooks that needs to be changed. That is just not a good idea. I've tried to put the macro in the workbook called own.xls (I use a swedish version of excel, dont know what it is called in english) thisworkbook,
I script that on open would pop up asking if a sync was done with an option for yes or no. If yes is pressed then it would just open, if no selected it would give a message "must sync before use" and close the workbook.
I do not want this message to pop up when other spreadsheets are open when this one is still open so im guessing private workbook_open
I am using the following code in my Workbook_Open sub, located in the ThisWorkbook code module. I am enabling macros when opening. All other VBA code in the project is running correctly.
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Worksheets("Sheet1").init MsgBox "starting" End Sub
The init sub did not appear to be running so I inserted the MsgBox to confirm, but that doesn't come up either.
I have an Excel add-in file (stored .xla format) that is used by a lot of other spreadsheets on a network location because it is modified often, and all workbooks made from a template reference it. everything with that works fine, and any changes made to the add-in file are always reflected upon startup in the workbooks. So there isn't a problem with that. Recently I've had to add a Workbook_Open() sub into this add-in (which I wrote in 'ThisWorkbook'). However, this macro is never entered by any of the workbooks. Is it possible to have a workbook_open sub in another file? If so, what can be causing it to fail (there aren't any errors or anything like that in the sub)?
I have noticed this on more than one workbook with an Workbook_Open macro. When you open Excel, open Workbook1, do some work , save or don't save and close, then reOpen Workbook1 without having closed the Excel application, the Workbook_Open macro in Workbook1 doesn't run.
Closing Excel and reopening Workbook1 initiates the Workbook_Open macro. It's as if Excel remembers having previously opened Workbook1 and so it doesn't rerun the Workbook_Open macro the next time you open it.
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Dim x As Date x = InputBox("Enter End Date!") Range("B2") = x With Application. CommandBars("File") .Controls("Save").Enabled = False .Controls("Save").Visible = False .Controls("Save As...").Enabled = False .Controls("Save As...").Visible = False End With With Application.CommandBars("Standard") .Controls("Save").Enabled = False .................
from 1 sheet i am opening several other worksheets and read in the bits i want. i am finding that on occasions the workbook_open on these sheets is causing great performance issues because of the calc mode set to automatic in the open routine of the individual sheets. i dont need it to be set to auto but the sheet owners perfer it to be set like this and i cant turn it off their sheets. is ther a way of opening a workbook from a macro and then override its workbook_open routine?
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(sSourceFolder & "" & "mySheet.xls", False, True)
i cant find any other switches that i could use to disable this.
i have a workbook iam using as a template.(workbook "template") the user opens which then requests a job number which will then saves the workbook as the enterd job number. this workbook also contains all the material data. eg: price and type which is on sheet "data". I am hopin to get to the sheet "data" from another workbooks command button by bypassing the job enter request by the workbook_open sub. basically i need some code that disables a workbook_open sub
In the Workook_open Sub I want to define 2 global static Variables. For some reason I can't get it to work. Whenever I try to access these vars they have the value "0" I use Excel 2000.
Here is what i did:
Dim i As Integer Dim ws As Worksheet Public Static GlobalStartX As Integer Public Static GlobalStartY As Integer
I have built a complex vba & multisheet spreadsheet that I am looking to secure against all the common attacks. So I have:A Workbook Open pw; VBA password (29 symbols/numbers/Caps/lower case) Very Hidden worksheets Hidden rows/columns Restricted scroll areas Workbook protection Code that auto protects all sheets upon opening Registry referencing in Workbook Open with timed closure if not matched Now I am on the last leg of implementing protection against Application.EnableEvents = False; force enabling of Macros and hiding of toolbars, scrollbars etc... Phew.
Soooo, in my research, I have learnt that if EnableEvents = False, Workbook_Open is essentially skipped and the security VBA routines are disabled. To get around, I have copied the entire contents of the Workbook_Open routine to a module under Auto_Open. The first line of both these scripts is: Application.EnableEvents = True.
Works! So far so good. However, I have a Msgbox prompt in the scripts that displays twice. So in essence, Excel is running Workbook Open first, then Auto Open second. If I open another instance of Excel and run Application.EnableEvents = False first before opening my spreadsheet, I only get one message. So only the Auto Open script runs.
I found this great macro here but I need it target more than column 1. does anyone knoe how to target column 1 and 3 at the same time?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Column = 1 Then If IsEmpty(Target) Then Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = Empty Else Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = Now() End If
I want to create an event handler for multiple buttons. I know that it can be done in VB but I'm not sure about VBA. Auto Merged Post;bump* Auto Merged Post;bump*
i have this code which askes the user for a job number once the workbook is opened.
Private Sub Workbook_open()
' If sheet was named by original open routine, exit
If ActiveSheet.Name = "Main Roof" Then Exit Sub
' otherwise
Do Returnvalue = InputBox("Please Enter a New Job Number.", "Information")
' Allow changes by entering q as the Job Number If Returnvalue = "q" Then Exit Sub
' Delete the ' from the front of the following two lines and ' then when you enter q as the Job Number you will also be ' asked for a password. The default password is toe.
what iam trying to do is get it to open the userform "WorkSelection" after it has completed the above code.
i have been trying to hide the userform from the workbook open event with no luck
Private Sub Workbook_Open() ufmTheEstimator.Show Dim Worksheet As Excel.Worksheet If Me.Worksheets("Main Roof"). Name = True Then ufmTheEstimator.Hide End If End Sub
Below is code. However, I need this to happen for multiple cells.
The cells that I need to monitor are B10, B12, B14.... through B96 and F, J, N, R columns for the same rows. The input values will be stored in cells AM10, AM12, AM14 .... through 96 for the B column results. Then for F, J, N, R will be AQ, AU, AY and BC respectively.
Additionally, when B10 has an input, and the user input box displays for the number of hours, there is a cancel button available, but it does not work. How can I exit the loop and clear contents of B10 if the "Cancel" button is clicked in the dialogue box.
The use of this userform is to find a customer reference number. Im using two combobox's and a textbox.value that are populated from another workbook.
Though the way it is at the moment it opens the workbook and closes the workbook every time a new value is set to one of the combobox's.
I want to open the workbook on the useform initialize and do everthink the useform need from it. And then on the userform terminate close the workbook. Or somehink to this equlivent so this process of finding the customer referance number goes faster.
I have a userform with about 20 textboxes. I would like to use the same "data validation" procedure on each textbox as the user enters data into the form. I'll use the exit event to trigger the validation. As the user moves from one textbox to the next, the data will be validated; if it's out of range, the user will be prompted to correct it.
Is there a way to have a common event procedure so I don't have to have a separate procedure for each textbox individually? I know I can put the actual validation code in its own procedure and then call it from each event procedure but that would still leave me with 20 event procedures like:
Private Sub Textbox1_Exit(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean) ValidateData End Sub
I wrote some code to validate an inputfield. I want to keep the focus on this field until a correct (numeric) value is inputed. Therefore I use teh beforeUpdate event instead of the afterUpdate event. Some strange things happen (see code below):
1. When I press enter after putting some non-numeric data in the inpBedrag2 field the msgbox is displayed three times in a row. This doesn't happen when the field loses focus by clicking another field (-> msgbox only displays once = correct behaviour) 2. What's really driving me nuts is the fact that the (more or lesse the same sub) works perfectly.
What am I doing wrong? I'm not getting it. Probably I'm doing something very stupid ... but I can't figure it out myself.
I have a workbook with 33 worksheets (31 date tabs and a Month To Date and Year To Date tab)
I want to have a clickable cell on each of the 1-31 date tabs to point to the MTD
I know I could do this easily with a hyperlink but I would rather have a clickable cell.
I have achieved this on an individual worksheet using the following code
Code: Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range) If Not Intersect(Target, Range("$R$3")) Is Nothing Then Sheets("MTD").Select End Sub
My question is: Do I have to copy this to every single worksheets code or is there some way have all sheets read the same private sub? (I guess it negates the point of a "private sub")
Way to do this as it would make editing any changes easier than having to do it 31 times.
I'm trying to run a macro anytime cells G2, J2, M2, O2, P2, S2, V2, Y2, AB2, AE2, AH2, AK2, AN2, AQ2 change.
Right now I have the below code which is working well, but I only have it set for G2. Do you know what the notation is to make the target range multiple cells?
Also, I use the xlDown command in my sorting code, but later on it reverts back to "A5:AT60"... is there any way I can remove these specific cell references? I want to avoid having to re-write the macro every time my selection shrinks or expands.
Code: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Not Intersect(Target, Range("G2")) Is Nothing Then Rows("5:5").Select
I'm trying to create a macro that will save backup copies of documents that have changed when a user closes them. I created an add-in and put a Workbook_BeforeClose sub in "ThisWorkbook" that saves a copy of the document in a temp location on the hard drive.
If I have three Excel documents opened and each one has changes and I close Excel (with the "big red X") it only seems to call the Workbook_BeforeClose once backing up one of the files. If I use the "Close Window" (the "little X") it doesn't call that event at all.
Is there a better event to use or a better way to backup these files when closing them or Excel?
