I'm looking to have a doc where people time stamp their start and stop times. I have found that Control(apple) - Shift -semi colon works. The problem i'm having is that I want people to be able to use a command icon in their toolbars for this task as opposed to people have to use the keyboard. I can use a button with a macro but this is not possible as our excel corrupts when there are too many macro's
View 4 RepliesI need to send out an order form (spreadsheet) to 100's of people that need to complete the form and email back to me as an attachment. If I was completing the order form myself I would use the "email" icon that I have pinned to my Quick Access Toolbar (QAT). However, most of the recipients don't even know the Toolbar exists.
Is there a way I can insert an icon / hyperlink in the spreadsheet that does the same thing as the QAT icon. I can insert text to say "click here to email your order" (or similar).
I need to keep it in an excel format and an icon is so much better that asking them to save to their hard-drive and attach to an email, etc.
The QAT icon is exactly what is needed but I need to provide a spreadsheet that works for folk who haven't got the icon.
Is it possible that when you press a command button, that the first thing it does is to execute the code assigned to another command button (IE in another sub).

Excel 2003. How can I put an icon in the title bar of an Excel Workbook? And can it be a .jpg or does it need to be a .icon. How can I put a title and NOT see " Microsoft Excel" in the title bar.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was wondering how I could change my desktop icon for one specific workbook to something other than the excel icon. I saw the below link (2nd tip) but that changes the icon for every file of a specific file type. I just want to change one specific file's icon on my desktop to something custom, like a clipart picture of my choosing. I also know that this can be done with shortcuts, but I need it to be changed on the original file. I tried using the IconChanger program, but the icon stayed with the file name so if I did a "save as" or emailed the file, it disappeared. I want it to stick with that file for good, or any file I duplicate from the original, and work on other computers as well.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThe following code is for a macro button I have setup, but it is in text only form. I want to add an icon to the text. Also, are there other icons to use than the lame ones from Microsoft?

myButton.Caption = "Hours Entry"

I can't for the life of me get it apply a second command (such as getting the file size of each file)..

VB:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim Z

[Code]....
The end result being the filename and the filesize shown..

How to use the Camera Icon Tool using a Macro?
I want to copy the First Row which is the Column heading of one Sheet to a different Sheet
Example : From Col A till Col G First Row is to be copied as an Image. Normally I do it using the Camera Icon, however when I tried recording a Macro for the same it did not work..
So how do I that if I provide the Start Column and End Column Alphabet as a Variable is that possible.. I want this Image to not remain Volatile which is the case using the Camera Tool..
So, how do i get the picture of only the first row or any row and store it is an Image in a different sheet as static picture so that even when the sheet is moved to a different location it does not make a difference to the Image.
I went to record a macro but I can't seem to get the relative reference button anywhere. I am using Excel 97 - does anyone know why this might be or how I can get it back?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have one sheet with about 100 activex controls (and another few 100 on the other sheets in the file), most combobox, but some checkbox as well. There are 30 of them lined up, one in each row. One at a time, one control will basically change to an icon only. If you select it in design mode, the name shows in the range name area of the toolbar, but when you select properties you get the properties for the sheet. Effectively I have an icon with nothing linked to it anymore.
For a while, it seemed to be somewhat random. But for the last few days, it is now cascading down. First combobox #6, then #7, etc. I'm now on #11 or so. Seems to happen when you save then reopen the file, not if you just keep working in the file without closing it.
The macros behind the boxes are still there and run once I recreate the missing box (normally with an Alt-D, and editing the properties; but I've also created from scratch from the toolbar, and used alt-C, alt-V) they work fine. I've run a compile, with no change. Any thoughts on finding the root cause? I thought it might be from blowing up a macro, but I've tried it without even editing a macro and it has the issue.
I am running WinNT and need to find the folder containing the default icons available for use on buttons in the toolbar window. I can copy the image but it saves as a picture (device independent bitmap). I want to be able to send the icon to other people so they can put it in their directory and choose to select it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to insert a simple conditional formatting rule - icon sets according to rule percentages I've selected (Green > 90%; Yellow < 90% but > 80%; < 80% red). The conditional formatting does not work once i select okay. For example. The data set shows 95% as red, 83% as red, it's just not working for me. I've tried opening a new workbook, new worksheet and nothing seems to work. I've been able to do insert this rule based on "number" setting but unsuccessful with percentages.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using conditional formatting for some times now, but this is the first time I have this problem..
I've using conditional formatting to display icon besides a sets of numbers/percentage. The condition is as follows:
--- >= 75, green
--- >= 60, yellow
--- < 60, red
When I used this for "number", it works flawlessly.
But when it comes to "percentage", disaster strikes.. I am getting a Yellow for 75%, and red for 60%.
Below is a screen shot that I did to illustrate the issues. The set of numbers on the left is OK. But the same set on the right, just in percentage, doesn't work well..
I'm trying to do a pull down menu with three selections - green,yellow, and red dots? I set up the data validation and referred it to a list. That is under Data Validation -> Settings -> Allow: List; Source: a range of cells where I put 3 colored dots(graphics). Now in the pull down menu when I select the first choice, it just gives me a black dot. The second choice gives me the same black dot. And so does the 3rd choice gives me a black dot.
So, how do I carry the 3 colored dots over? Or it's not possible using the Data Validation approach? If not what is the best and easiest way to go about doing this....
