Prevent Save Until Save As Used
Mar 21, 2008
I am trying to hide/grey SAVE option from the menu bar and reset menu back to normal after Save AS has been used.
I was able to do disable SAVE using the following code.
Application. CommandBars("worksheet menu bar").Controls("File").Controls(4).Visible = False
But
the SAVE icon on the Standard toolbar still exist. Is there any way I can disable it and also prevent CTRL. S being used.
Second part of the question.
Once I use Save as I would like menu to be reset back to normal.

am trying to create a workbook template which collects data from users with user forms and some macros. Users assign a project name when workbook opens and then they are able to save as the workbook with name of project name. But i don't want them to save on my template mistakenly. How do i prevent this? I tried workbook_before close sub but i can manage that it recommends to save workbook with project name and if you don't want, it still asks you if you want to save workbook before close

I want to make sure that the user of a file only saves from a button on a particular sheet. Can I ensure that if the user goes File Save at any time that they cannot use it?

I have a spreadsheet that containt a conditional formula to place the current date aka Today() into a cell based on if an entry in the previous cell.
I put in this formula:
=IF(I131>="1",TODAY()," ")
My boss told me to update to this one: (same result)
=IF(I130>="1",DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),DAY(TODAY()))," ")
BOTH will change the saved sheet data if we open it tomorrow (due to using Today()). We want to retain the date that it was entered on (which will always be the date he puts entry into sheet).
Is there a way to save the sheet and update the code for Today() to the date value so it will appear as a date when it's opened in the future?

I have a list dropdown from cells A2 to A10. If only when a user selects "orange", he has to key in some description in column B.
Eg if he selects orange in A2, he has to key in some description in B2.
Is it possible to set some formula or macro which prevents user to save this file if he leave blank in B2 or B10, depending on which row he has select "orange"?

I have an extensive application which I wrote using Excel 2002 (XP - Version 10). However it will likely be used on anything ranging from 2003 - 1997. When I tested it using Excel 97 it gave me the traditional [annoying] message asking if I was sure I wanted to save it under an earlier version than which it was created.
I want to get rid of this message (a lot of my users aren't the most computer literate and the more annoying messages I can avoid the better!)
I tried using:
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
but it doesn't affect this particular message. I need to know how to keep this message from popping up. Please Help.
Under 97 (NOT on my 2002) it also gives a "Do you want to save the changes" message upon closing even though the "DisplayAlerts" is set to false. I'm not sure why this is still coming up.

In my program I have prevented the user from saving the Workbook with the following code
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim p As String
Cancel = True
Do While Cancel = True
p = InputBox("Enter password to save file:", "Password Required To Save", "")
If p = "Enter Password Here" Then
Cancel = False
Else
yn = MsgBox("Wrong password. Try again?", vbYesNo, "Invalid Password")
If yn = vbNo Then
Exit Sub
End If
End If
Loop
End Sub
I also need to prevent the user, when they use the save as, from saving certain worksheets. Ex: There are 6 worksheets in the workbook. I only want them to be able to save the first three. Issues: One of the workbooks that I want to allow them to change has a tab name that changes frequently.

I've got a workbook that I want to keep intact in a central location on our local network, to make it easier for everybody to access, but don't want people to be able to save changes to the master workbook itself. I'd like to be able to disable the 'Save' feature while still allowing 'SaveAs'. The following code (installed in ThisWorkbook) results in the OPPOSITE of what I'm trying to accomplish (i.e., it allows 'Save' but disables 'SaveAs'):
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
If SaveUI Then
MsgBox "The 'Save' function for this workbook has " & Chr(10) & "been disabled. Please use 'Save As'.", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Save Disabled"
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
Obviously I'd also like to check the filename they're performing the 'SaveAs' under and disallow it if it matches the master filename.
I've thought about making the workbook into a template, which would sort of accomplish the same thing, but it would be much easier to just keep it as a workbook.

I have an expense report, which was originally done in Excel 2003. It still prompts users to open as read only however if they select no, they are not prompted for the password, and it has allowed them to save, so when the next person opens it, they have the previous person's report instead of the clean workbook. I have tried everything to put a password onto it. I know this is really basic stuff, but maybe I am missing a step? I want the end user to be able to make all the changes they want in read only mode and then do a save as, but if the select No when prompted "Open as Read-only?" they should have to put a password in.

What I am trying to do is that I have an excel file with macros and it is a read-only file. In order for the user to save, I want them to only be able to save as a .xlsx file as it disables all macros. If for whatever reason, the user wants to save the file as another .xlsm file, they should be allowed but before they save, a "are you sure you want to save as .xlsm?" message should pop up.
All the options in the save as box should still be available in case they want to save in that particular format. Just that the .xlsx should be the default.

I'm trying to make a macro check if a file has been saved (ever). If so I want the macro to do a regular save (with already esatablished filename and location) before it proceeds with the rest of the macro. If the file hasnt been saved (if it runs from a new workbook) then I want it to pop up the save.as dialog, so that the user can choose the name and location of the file before the macro continues .
The macro itself is saved in personal.xlsx.

Each of the worksheets in my model use A1 as a control cell for any errors and inconsistencies. My aim is to disable save and close commands in case A1 is not equal to 0 in any of the worksheets.
The code I currently use for that purpose is as follows.

I have a sheet which I would like to back up online every time it is saved.
I have a sub, OnlineFile(), which I have used many times without any problems, which creates a .BAT file to use ftp to upload files onto our server. As arguments, it takes the local file path that you want to upload (or download to), the name of the file as you would like it stored, the online file path, and whether you want to upload the file onto the server, or download it off the server.
It should be very easy to combine the two: what I tried was:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, cancel As Boolean)
ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & "Rubbish.xls"
Call OnlineFile(ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & "Rubbish.xls", "Rubbish.xls", "wwwrootexcelfilesMasters", "Upload")
Kill ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & "Rubbish.xls"
End Sub
Every time I ran this, the file got uploaded correctly, but Excel had a series of problems. Often the code ran fine the first time it was run, but crashed the second time round.
After a fair bit of troubleshooting, I found that the problem came about when the file was trying to save itself - i.e. after the end of the sub. If you pause any macros from running, it still saved fine, but when the code ran, it found errors, froze or closed excel.
My thought at this point was that the code was fragmented or something. I made a new sheet, and retyped just the relevant bits of code (i.e. the BeforeSave sub, the OnlineFile sub and created the form called by OnlineFile). The problem persisted.
I've come up with a workaround for this now (which uses the same OnlineFile sub & form, and works fine), but it's driving me crazy - why does this cause excel to die? Particularly on the second time through? The code seems far too simple to cause such problems - is there a bug in Excel perhaps (I'm using Excel 2000 on Windows XP).

I have a spreadsheet that is emailed to someone to fill in. They then fill in some information and send it on to someone else.
Sometimes they don't fill in all the information so is it possible to have excel check that cells are filled in and to prevent someone from saving unless this is so? Or maybe a message stating that the cells need to be completed if Excel is being closed or saved?

I need my spreadsheet to require that the user save it by clicking a macro button, and not the Save or SaveAs options in the file menu. I have found out how to disable saving entirely:
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
If SaveAsUI Then SaveAsUI = False
End Sub
But this of course prevents my macro button from saving too!
Is there any way to allow VBA code to save the spreadsheet while simultaneously preventing the user from saving through the menu?

I have written the following simple macro to import some data into a worksheet and then prompt the user to save the file in Excel 2003 format (the system to which we will upload this data does not accept formats later than 2003). The template is in "*.xlsm" format.
The code executes without error, but when the user hits the "Save" button in the "Save As" dialog box, nothing happens. The "Save As" box closes, but no file is saved.
Code:
Private Sub cmdImportData_Click()
Dim sFName As String
'On Error Resume Next
PrepData
CopyData
FormatColumns
'prompt the user to save the file in "*.xls" format
sFName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("upload", "Excel files (*.xls), *.xls")
End Sub

I have a file that I have created that the users will use as a master template to create data that I need. Once they have finished, I want the file to define what the filename should be when they click save.
At the same time, I want to disable "Save As..." as some users will just use that and then will use a file name that another macro (that I will use) won't recognise.

i have a master workbook. it gets used daily as a template and saved as another file name. the file name is generated by 5 cells that each contain different data (date, street, town, state). is it possible when i hit the save or save as button/icon, for a file name to be automatically generated from the cells i have data in??
PostPosted: Wed Oct 15, 2003 5:12 pm Post subject: Re: change default saveas name for new file w/o saving
Okay, so you want to create a workbook via code, prompt the user for a SaveAs name, then save this workbook?
Sub CreateAndSave()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim SaveFileName As Variant
Set wb = Workbooks.Add
ChDrive "C"
ChDir "C:VBA Code"
SaveFileName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("It is a new file.xls", _
"Microsoft Excel Workbook (*.xls),*.xls")
On Error Resume Next
If SaveFileName False Then wb.SaveAs FileName:=SaveFileName........................
