I have a Userform in Excel.
My requirement, is whenever I open the Excel file, it should open the userform and should not show the excel file at all. And the form is closed, the excel file should be saved and closed.
Also, I need the minimize button on the form and in the taskbar, it should not display the Excel file, it should display only the Userform.
I want to open a specific sheet and refresh only said sheet when i open another sheet for example x.xls
So opening x.xls will automatically open y.xls
I've tried this in the workbook code area but it doesn't do anything.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHi, I'm trying to use a userform to open a previously saved file to avoid having the users dig through the folder and maybe work on the wrong file.

I have a userform that should open a file and then figure out if a integer meets a condition. All this works.
My problem is that i want to run another sub from this userform after the file is open(this will be the active file).
Two workbook, A & B. Code in B copies some data over to a sheet in workbook A.
It does this not problems if A has remained open, but if it has just been opened, I get a "subscript out of range" error at the "With Workbooks" line.
The bit in red is what I have recently added to allow workbook A to be closed unless needed. Since adding this, the debug error has emerged, even though there was no problem when workbook A remained permanently open.
Need vba code to automatically open sheet one when a workbook is opened? At the moment it opens on the page on which the workbook was last saved.
While using an userform, is it not possible to swap to other files in the window?
I.e Alt+tab function is not working while an userform is opened.
I have a userform that opens, and allows the user to enter data into it for each row where a specific cell is blank. If the user hasn't updated in a couple of days that could be 15-20 entries that need to be made. Currently when the user clicks the close button the userform closes the form for the current row and shows for the next row, acting more like a Next button. I would like to be able to assign Previous, Next and Exit, where exit closes all instances of the userform, and not just the one the user currently sees. Even if we cant do previous and next, the exit button is really important sot he user doesnt have to click through in order to exit the userform.
The following is the code that brings up the array, followed by userform code
Code:
Sub ErrLogSupEntry()
'Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wsErrLog = Worksheets("Error Log")
UserName = Environ("UserName")
If UserName = "09070403" Then

I have a MultiPage User Form, it has 2 tabs within the User Form.
I want to display Tab #1 (the first tab) as the 'visible/active' Tab for the user upon opening the user form. How do I do that?
Usually, I would open a User Form with frmMyForm.Show in a private module, to show the form. But now I have 2 Tabs, and want to select a certain Tab upon opening it?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have excel vba code to open .xls files on my server. Files to open are chosen by the user via a UserForm within my app, it shows them all their files in their directory on my server. How can I open their files (.xls) that they select but DISABLE the VBA from being able to run/execute, if they have any attched to the file?
I now have all code in place to open the file no problem, I just need to know how to disable the VBA part from being "turned on" when the file opens.

the small code i'm writing just needs to do the following:
1. open an .xslx file selected by the user
2. copy 2 worksheets from that file to the current one
3. close the selected file without saving it.
This is my code:
VB:
Sub GetData()
MsgBox ("Please select a file"), vbOKOnly
Master = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Excel Files (*.xlsx), *.xlsx", Title:="Please select a file")
[Code]....
Opening the file works, but the last 3 lines don't because i don't understand how to declare "Master": however i dim it (workbook, object, variant...) i get an error on the GetOpenFilename line. If i don't declare it, i get an error while trying to copy the worksheets.
The Macro asks the user to point at the location of a report, it then copies information out of that report and pastes it into a master sheet. The part I am having trouble with is closing the file that data has been copied from.
I have tried different things to close it such as
can group all opened file in 1 excel tab instead if many tabs?
open thru window the file u want...

I was working on a tax file yesturday, just a long long list of receipts. and the file is password protected. However, I went to open it today, and I get a message that says: "Filename.xls cannot be opened. the file may be read only, or you may be trying to access a read only location. Or, the server the file is located on may not be responding."
It's on my USB Drive. I've tried copying it to my HD so I can play with a copy, but no dice. When I try that, I get another error message, : Cannot copy Filename.xls. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. I've tried the various fixed suggested in the excel help files to no avail. I did a search on the forum, but didn't find anything that seemed to apply or help me. The computer I'm trying to open it on has Office 2003, the one I most recently worked on the file on has office XP. Not sure if this was a source of the problem. Doesn't seem like it should be. Hasn't been in the past. I'm not even getting to the dialogue box asking for my password yet.
how to alert and force second user to quit (i.e. even cannot open the file as "read-only) if the excel file is being opened by other?

I have a master file which users are able to open via read only or go in via password to edit.
I'm not too bothered on the read only users more on person's entering the file via password, making any changes and then saving those changes.
Is there a way to trace what changes they made and would their name be saved as the new "author" of the file?
