I had made some code changes that didn't end up working as I wanted and this called for PERSONAL to be called and acted on when excel was activated. Now I have deleted the code but still on opening excel is persists in loading PERSONAL. urk. How can I go back to loading Book1 on open?
I have a macro that I run every day that creates a new book - Book 1, does stuff to it and saves it with a new name.
I always leave my computer on (and logged on) overnight. when i leave for the day, I just Lock it - CTRL ALT DEL - Lock Computer.
almost always this works fine, I run that macro every day, and almost always it uses Book 1 when creating the new book. Even though I haven't logged off/on since the last time it ran...And the macro works fine referring to Book1.
But every once in a while, I can't put any schedule on it, it doesn't work. Excel remembers that I've already created book1, and moves to book2. then the macro fails because it's looking for book1. - easily remedied by debugging and replacing book1 with book2....but a pain.
I also notice that at the same time that happens, I have another wierd problem...
I have a web query that I refresh every day. When I first open the worksheet for the day, I have to go and enter the userid/password for the web query.
but any time the 1st problem is happening, I no longer have to put in the userid/password in the web query.
here's the snippet of code that copies 4 tabs from one workbook and puts it into a new workbook...
Sheets("Manager MTD").Select
Sheets("Manager MTD").Copy
ActiveWindow.ActivateNext
Sheets("Manager WTD").Select
Sheets("Manager WTD").Copy Before:=Workbooks("Book1").Sheets(1)
ActiveWindow.ActivateNext
Sheets("Agent MTD").Select
Sheets("Agent MTD").Copy Before:=Workbooks("Book1").Sheets(1)
ActiveWindow.ActivateNext
Sheets("Agent WTD").Select
Sheets("Agent WTD").Copy Before:=Workbooks("Book1").Sheets(1)
the end of the macro saves the new file with filename ACP_Temp.xls
I'm tryign to create a macro which will copy certain worksheets into a new workbook (i.e. Book1), and the macro continues to work with this Book1. Is it possible to create a more robust macro which will rename Book1 into something usable (i.e. "Report")? because if the session of Excel has already had another worksheet, it will go to Book2, and then the macro won't work.

I have tried various ways of doing it but for some reason It just wont pull the info right. The previous posts have shown me scripts for Vlookups and a variety of other things. But the end result was not exact.

I've recently purchased an add-in for Excel 2010 called Image Assistant. It allows you to insert loads of images at once and automatically puts them in the cells for you, which is what I need to create quotes for my business. It was painstaking to go through resizing each picture individually so I thought I'd give this a go...
The demo of the program worked fine, except it restricted you to one picture at a time and I have thousands to go through. It resized the picture great and put it in the cell as I expected.
So I purchased the full product. There didn't seem to be an option to just put a license key into the demo version to make it full, and I was sent a link to download the full version, so I did.
When in Excel, I click the icon in the add-ins window and Excel grinds to a halt. It stops responding instantly and then won't do anything until I force close it, at which point it pops up with "Automation Error" and then closes the program.
I've checked DEP settings, trust center settings, add-in settings. I've tried 'repairing' Microsoft Office in case it was an issue with Excel itself but that didn't work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the add-in several times and it still freezes every time I open it.

View 7 Replies View Relatedwhat is the proper terminology for the Outlook "Thing" that opens up in excel (shown below)? Is it simply a toolbar? Add-in?
Second question, I have a excel file that automatically loads the outlook "Toolbar" each time it is opened.
The file was made in 2010 and password protected and locked, sent to a worker who edited the appropriate fields and saved, and then they sent the file back to me (2003 Format). Now this file automatically loads the outlook toolbar. I am trying to trouble shoot so what would cause this behavior?
I have this code in Book1:
sub OpenCloseMacro1()
Workbooks.Open Filename:="E:closeopenBook2.xlsm"
Workbooks("Book1.xlsm").Close SaveChanges:=True
Application.Run ("Book2.xlsm!Macro1")
End Sub
It closes Book1 and saves it, it opens book2, but Macro1 does not activate. Why?
by the way. Macro1 is:
Sub Macro1()
Userform1.show
End sub
sub OpenCloseMacro1()
Workbooks.Open Filename:="E:closeopenBook2.xlsm"
Application.Run ("Book2.xlsm!Macro1")
Workbooks("Book1.xlsm").Close SaveChanges:=True
End Sub
It opens book2, and activates macro1, but Book1 is not closed
I have one userform that loads combobox values upon userform Initialize. Though through a second userform changes can be made to anotherworkbook this workbook is saves any changes. when i close the second userform i need to rerun the 1st userform Initialize event to update the combobox's incase changes have been made.
View 5 Replies View RelatedAfter using =Char(Mid(A1, 15, 1)), =Char(Mid(A1, 16, 1)), =Char(Mid(A1, 17, 1)), ... a few hundred times in years past, I made a form and wrote some code to list the contents of a cell in binary. It's been handy.
I recently added support for Unicode, so it may not be fully cooked (or maybe reheated), and double-width Unicode characters are problematic.
In addition to adding the attached form to the workbook, this needs to go in a code module.

I have a function saved in my Personal.xls (attached) but it is returning a #NAME error when used in other sheets. I am guessing that the NAME error means that the function can't be seen by other excel woorkbooks. I have already checked the following with no result:
1. Testing the code in a different workbook.
2. The code is visible in the script editor, but personal.xls is open but hidden.
3. When I open Tools>Macro>Macros the option of "All Open workbooks" is selected from the drop downbox.
4. Macro security is on low.
5. saving the function as a .xla file and running as an add-in
I have been working from help pages to try and learn and have added a personal(.xls) to my version of excel. Unfortunately I have saved some lines of code (as in the attachment screenshot) that appear to be interfering with the code that I have in some other workbooks. I cannot find a way of deleting this code or how to delete the personal(.xls) part of the VBA editor.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have installed Excel on my new computer. Went to save a macro and I cannot locate the file "Personal.Xls"
Inside of Excel I can unhide "Personal.Xls" and it is visible.
I have several macros set up as modules in my personal.xls. There is one particluar macro (for purposes here I will call it "SourceMacro") which I use repeatedly in other macros (also stored in personal.xls). What I have been doing is copying the code from SourceMacro and pasting it into other macros.
I understand that I can actually run the SourceMacro without pasting the code by using a run command. I have inserted the following code into one of my other macros, but get an error message saying that the SourceMacro can not be found. (I have checked spelling carefully.)
Run "Personal.xls!SourceMacro"

I have a macro to insert rows and add formatting in personal.xls, which will run from another worksheet when using alt+ f8 with no problems.
However, I am trying to run it from a macro in the second worksheet and have tried :
Call InsertRows
and get a Compile Error: Sub or Function not defined.
Application.Run "insertrows"
and get a Runtime Error '1004': the macro '...' can not be found.
Application.Run "Personal.xls!insertrows"
and get no error message, but the rows are not inserted.
If I copy the Sub code into the new worksheet, and then use Call, everything acts as it should.
Is the third method the correct way of calling the macro, and if so, what would cause it not to do what it is supposed to do?
I have (and will be) creating a number of macro in my personal workbook, a number of which will be run from within other macro also in my personal workbook. I am creating these to be distributed to members of staff within my work. This will be done by creating a template workbook for the job to be done, and e-mailing them all a copy. Now, I can not work out how to move the macro from my personal workbook into the new template so they can be run from there? Also, the macro that access other macro have a path to my personal workbook, will this be updated automatically when they are moved, or will I need to manually change them

Last friday my personal.xls file went missing. I cannot find it anywhere which means I am missing about 10 key macros.
