Prevent Editing After Date And Force Enable Macros

Apr 7, 2014

So I have a Workbook that I want to make read-only/protect after a certain date. I also want to force the user to have macros enabled. So far I have the following script, but despite changing it to read-only it doesn't seem to do anything. I have also tried to enable protection on the sheets after that date, but am getting errors.

Excel 2003 :: Force Enable Macros - Crash / Need Toclose

Mar 13, 2012

I have been using Erik's fantastic "Force Enable Macros" code (exactly as it appears)...

force enable macros & ASK to save changes (SOLUTION)

...with the desired results (and comfort) under Excel 2003.

The code works under Excel 2007. However, if there is another workbook open at the sametime (regardless of whether Workbook two has macros or not), I get an Excel "crash";

Code:
Microsoft Office Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close.

[ ] Recover my work and restart Microsoft Excel There is also a Event ID 7001 in the Event Viewer. I have run Excel diagnostics and there are no issues.

Enable/Disable Macros When No Macros Are Present

Jul 28, 2008

I have a user that keeps a maintenance log in an Excel worksheet and sends an updated copy once a week to a board member. Two weeks ago, the board member started complaining that he was prompted to enable/disable macros on opening and became worried when my user stated that no macros were used in the book. He is now concerned that we have sent him a virus.

I know the file is clean because I've scanned it, and when I look at the file in VB, there are no modules or classes present just the Sheets 1-3 and the ThisWorkbook file. None of these objects have any code in them. My user does have some macros in PERSONAL.XLS but they are not used in the workbook in question.

No one else gets the prompt for enabling/disabling macros. Even if I set my security to prompt for any macros, I get no message. I'm convinced that there must be some setting in his Excel that is causing this individual to get this message. Is there anything else other than a macro that would cause this?

Prevent Now Available For Editing Message

Jun 29, 2007

I have an accounting spreadsheet that is used by 25-30 people. This spreadsheet has a button the user can use to save this spreadsheet allowing the spreadsheet to save itself to a specific folder path base on the dates entered in the spreadsheet.

I have begun tracking certain items in the accounting spreadsheet and have added a section to the save macro that gathers data from the accounting spreadsheet and saves the data to a ‘Spreadsheet Stats’ spreadsheet. Since it was possible that more than one person might try saving the spreadsheet at the same time and try to open the ‘Spreadsheet Stats’ spreadsheet at the same time, I placed a loop in the macro that determines if the 'logging data' spreadsheet when opened is marked as "read-only". If the ‘Spreadsheet Stats’ spreadsheet is opened as "read-only", the macro closes the ‘Spreadsheet Stats’ spreadsheet then reopens the ‘Spreadsheet Stats’ spreadsheet again and again until opened without the "read-only" status. Code seen below.

Do Until Now() = start_time + 0.002082 Or Now() > start_time + 0.002082
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"G:EDCUSTSERV1_ACCTGIPL SpreadsheetsBilling SpreadsheetsData DropSpreadsheet Stats.xls"
Set WB = ActiveWorkbook
If WB.ReadOnly = False Then
Exit Do
End If
WB.Close
Loop

The macro works great, however, should a user try to save the spreadsheet and the loop happens to open and reopen the spreadsheet until the "read-only" status is gone, when the macro completes, a window pops up and alerts the user that the ‘Spreadsheet Stats’ spreadsheet is now available for editing.

My question: Is there any way to prevent that pop up window? I don’t want the user to think they need to edit the ‘Spreadsheet Stats’. Remember that the macro has completed when the popup window shows up, so Application.display alerts set to false

Code To Prevent Editing & Selecting Of Range Worksheet

Sep 3, 2008

I have the following code that Ger Plante very kindly helped me with which, depending on whether there is an 'x' by someone's name in a list, creates a new workbook, copies some information to it and saves it before moving on to the next 'x'. Loop Through Rows & Copy Each Row To New Workbook

For lLoop = 2 To 251 'first row of data to last row.
If ws1.Cells(lLoop, 4).Value = "x" Then '4 = Column D
ws1.Activate
ws1.Range("e" & lLoop & ":g" & lLoop).Copy
ws1.Range("B1").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=True
Rng1.Copy
Workbooks.Add
ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteColumnWidths, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select
ActiveSheet.SaveAs varPath & "Student Data Files" & ActiveSheet.Range("B1") & ".xls"
ActiveWorkbook.Close

Else
End If

Next lLoop

how I can modify the code such that any cells in the range "b1:b504" in Sheet1 of the the new workbook can't be selected or edited without a password....I have tried unsuccessfully using Protect but am not sure how to get vba to set it to specific cells and determine exactly what is allowed in those cells.

Enable Different Macros Based On Combo Box Selection

Mar 10, 2009

I have a spreadsheet with 2 combo boxes - Combobox 1 enables a user to specify if they want to look at the data on the sheet by week or month - it has just 2 options - "select by week" or "select by month"

The list in combobox 2 changes based on the selection in combobox1 - so if you select "select by week" , a date list by week shows up.

Combobox 2 is supposed to run a macro which updates some backend pivot tables. there are 2 types of backend pivottable - weekly tables and monthly tables.

What i am not sure about is how to get the selections in combobox 2 to run either the weekly macro or the monthly macro based on if combobox1 is set to week or month ...?

Force Macros Enabled On Workbook Open?

Oct 28, 2013

I'm posting a workbook on our network that I want to enable users to go in and update. I have the workbook designed, with entry fields for the data they need to enter, and they then push "Submit" to submit the new data to a hidden tracking log within the workbook.

Many of the users will be complete Excel newbies, and although I haven't posted the workbook yet, I am trying to anticipate possible issues. The first that comes to mind is that the user opening the workbook may not have macros enabled in their version of Excel, and they will get a message, and can't perform the udpate. Is there a way to add a Workbook Open event that automatically enable macros in the workbook when they open it, even if it is for this workbook only?

Putting Enable Macros Button Into Userform Type Display

May 12, 2013

In reference to my other topci here: Userform Error

In this workbook I have successfully made it act like a userform calculator, the user does not ever see the actual sheets in the workbook, their only interface is the Userform calculator I created.

This is exactly how I want it, they do not need to see the sheets, nor do I want them to.

This leads me only to my next problem... Some of the users obviously wont have Macros automatically enabled, what I am wondering is, is there a way to put the normal "Enable Macros" button which appears along the top of a macro containing workbook when opened, I want to put this button into a userform like display without showing the workbook at all.

So here the process I envision:

1. User double clicks the file
2. It opens and automatically goes invisable (like it does already)
3. If the user does not have macro enabled, a userform like box appears and says "Please enable Marcros to user" with a button below for "Enable" and "Exit"
4. If exit is pressed excel closes
5. If enabled is pressed Macros are enabled and then they will automatically see my calculator userform like normal.

As you see, at no point do I want them to see excel or a workbook, just userforms so its not like they are using excel at all.

I have searched around the net and found a few ideas to tackle this, mainly one that has a "Prompt" workbook that shows when macros are disabled, but that is not ideal for me. However perhaps I could just edit this "prompt" code thing for my situation?

Here is the prompt sheet code I talked about:

Code:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
With Application

[Code]....

How to use:

Open an Excel workbook Select Tools/Macro/Visual Basic Editor in the VBE window, select View/Project ExplorerSelect the This Workbook module Copy and paste the code above into this ModuleNow select File/Close and Return To Microsoft Excel Don't forget to save your changes...

8. Name one of your sheets "Prompt"

Run VBA Macros In Specific Order, Turn Off Calculations & Force Calculation Of Range

Apr 22, 2009

I have a VBA method that goes thru and calculates a bunch of stuff and puts this calculated info into a static data structure. This method is called 'setProjectInfo()'. This method is reliant on values on my worksheets, So as the user makes changes to the worksheet, I want setProjectInfo() to get called so it refreshes the data structure with updated information. I then have a bunch of helper methods to access different parts of this data structure. These helper methods are used in the formulae of a bunch of cells on a worksheet (ie '=getPercentComplete(period)', etc, etc).

This is all working well except for one thing. Sometimes the helper methods get called BEFORE setProjectInfo() gets called.. So, the helper methods return stale information. I can only get around this by manually recalculating the spreadsheet again. setProjectInfo() does enough stuff and takes a long enough time that I don't want to have to call it at the top of each helper method.

I've put the call to setProjectInfo() in a cell formula at the top of the my spreadsheet in hopes that Excel would know enough to call it first.. But that does not seem to work. Net, how can I get VBA to always call setProjectInfo() BEFORE it calls any other VBA methods?

How To Prevent Auto Macros From Running

Sep 11, 2008

I have made a vba program in excel 2003 that opens a worksheet using Workbooks.Open, and copies all the worksheets out into the program etc. The worksheets that I am opening have macros that automatically execute when the worksheet is opened (opening up some forms ). These macros are running when I open the file using VBA. How can I prevent this from happening. The automatically executed code in the workbook being opened is located in "this workbook" and can be seen below.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim CfileName As String
'Check Config sheet for template state
If Config.Cells(10, 3) = 1 Then
CustomizeDirInfo.Show
End If

If Config.Cells(10, 3) = 2 Then
GetConfData
GetGrpData
StdFileGen.Show
Else

Prevent Automatic Date Format When Referencing Date Cell

I have been struggling with my Excel 07 Date format. Nearly every time I perform a calculation, enter in a value etc in a spreadsheet my answer is returned as a date. So for example if I enter in a cell: = 5 - 4. I get the answer "1-Jan-1900" instead of 1. I have to manually set the formats to general or number if I want the correct format. The setting seems to be the default one and occurs for all workbooks I open. What can I do to change this.
