Prevent Screen Changes During Procedure
Apr 26, 2014
I have 2 workbooks open. In the workbook that I am working in I run a macro from a userform to copy a worksheet from the other workbook that is idle in the back ground. I also display another user form that says "please wait" while the macro is running.
The problem I have is even though screen updating is set to false the screen switches over to the other workbook while it is copying the desired sheet and switches back to the workbook I am copying to after the macro completes. Also the "Please Wait" userform disappears while the other workbook is displayed and reappears when the initial workbook returns.
Below is my code which works without issue but perhaps there's a better way to copy between workbooks that would prevent the screen changes?

I have an excel workbook that I would like to
a) appear more app-like, and
b) show more data in the available space.
I do not want to go too elaborate by hiding (remembering and restoring) control bars and I reckon the View Full Screen is pretty much okay for my purposes.
I am currently invoking View Full Screen on Workbook_Activate but hitting the ESC key returns to normal view. I can already see my users hitting the ESC key for various reasons and ruining my master plan.
Is there are any way to prevent unintended ESC from Full-Screen or otherwise lock in the full-screen mode until revoked intentionally by macro (shortcut)?

I'm working with text boxes in Excel that have hyperlinks attached to defined names on a worksheet. Basically just to navigate around a large sheet.
They work fine, but when the mouse is hovered over the text box it automatically displays the address of the defined name, which looks messy and I want to get rid of it.
I have tried inserting a single space in the screen tip box, but that displays a small rectangular box. I have also tried "" hoping nullstring maybe interpreted as not to display, but it instead displays the speech marks.
Has anybody done this before? I've seen it done, but I have no idea how the model creator did it.

I have a VBA code that copy data from multiple files into my workbook.
I find the first file, copy the ranges I need into my workbook and continue to the next file until all files are done.
The copy operation in each file is - row by row - because I need to ask questions about each row.
As you understand - what the user sees is a flickering window because I activate the source workbbok -> copy the data -> activate this workbook-> paste the data.
I want to avoid the flickering.
An acceptable solution could be to generate a pop up message box that will say "data is being copied. Pleasd wait while operation is completed". BUT - I don't know how to identify that the action is done and message box can be closed.

I've created a macro with a custom dialog box, but I don't know how to make the transition from when I make the dialog box pop up, the user enters the information, then they click "Continue" or "Cancel" or whatever it may be, how to do I make it happen from there out?
Do I make the command buttons a boolean and if they click it's true? How do I make it work?

I need in column E the value "complete" but only against the last row of each system from column B, if column D ="draft del" and is not null. For example system V0523 is draft del and so is complete, therefore I would like "complete" in column E row 10.

I have a userform in an add-in (which is loaded), when I try and call it from an excel sheet, I get the following error "Variable not defined"
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub
The code in the userform is all private subs.
Similarly when calling a public sub from the add-in such as;
Private Sub CommandButton3_Click()
Call SillySub
End Sub
I get the error "Sub or Function not defined".
How should I be doing this?

how do you call another sub's function from another sub? For example:
Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
StartingDate:
Static STempHolding As String
If STempHolding <> "" Then OldStartingDate = STempHolding
STempHolding = Target.Value
EndingDate:
Static ETempHolding As String
If ETempHolding <> "" Then OldEndingDate = ETempHolding
ETempHolding = Target.Value
End Sub
If i just wanted to call the StartingDate function, from my Worksheet_Change sub how would i do that?

The code below is fired from a Worksheet Change Event on cell c18. The cell has a userform calendar control to select Date of Birth. What I want the code to do is check the age at the current date and if it is below 16 or over 25, then show the appropriate message. I cannot use data validation to not allow values outside this age range because there will be instances where a person's details can be added if their age is under 16 or over 25. I just need to alert the inputter in case they are unaware or have inputted incorrectly.
When the message box pops up, if they click Yes then the code should take them to the next cell for inputting. If they click No then it should stay in cell C18 and hopefully pop the calendar back up (I've not tested this bit yet).
The code as it stands brings up the "This person is under 16 years...." message no matter what date of birth is input.
VB:
Sub AgeValidation()
Dim age As Integer
Dim dob As Range
Dim AgeMsgAnswer16 As String
Dim AgeMsgAnswer25 As String
Set dob = Worksheets("Monitoring Form").Range("c18")
[Code] ....

If you run it type in 3.5. What gets returned from the procedure is the number 4 NOT 3.5. I think its related to the data type declaration but i thought a data type of long would include the number 3.5.

I need to extract the filename “My Excel File” from Worksheets(“Sheet1”).Range(“A1”), whose value = C:Documents and Settingsuser1DesktopMy Excel File
I found on Chip Pearson’s site a Function TrimToChar which, using SearchFromRight and a TrimChar of “” will trim OFF the filename “My Excel File”, leaving the Path.
But, I think I could use his function to tell me the number of characters in the Path and then use that to extract the remaining characters from the total character length (Mid Function)
Problem is, I don’t have a clue how to call a Function in VBA to work on Worksheets(“Sheet1”).Range(“A1”). How do you set the InputText , TrimChar, & SearchFromRight?????
(eventually, this will be in a loop, where I extract the filename from a Dynamic Named Range (list) in Column A)

I have a VBA procedure in Excel that opens PowerPoint presentations and searches each slide for embedded objects, opens, and attempts to save the objects as separate files utilizing the following statement:
Shape.OLEFormat.DoVerb Count
Where Count is the "Open" verb. 90% of the time it works great but there are times where the object simply wont open so the application just stops. I don't get any errors so I don't see how I can trap for this incident.
What I would like to do is emulate something similar to C#'s Try/Catch function.
Is there a way to do something like this in VBA?

I am getting an invalid procedure call when the portion of the code that has the ASC function runs. The only change I made to the workbook was to increase the available rows that this macro is totaling from 150 to 300. If I don't increase the rows I do not get the error.
What this code is doing is grouping information from 20 different sheets and totaling them and placing the total in the correct group. Most of the totals will begin with a number, however there will be a small amount that will begin with a letter. The items with letters need to be grouped in the 17000 category.
Dim c As Range
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Range(Cells(3, "R"), Cells(lastrow, "R"))
For Each c In rng
If c < 20 Then c.Offset(0, 1) = "01000"
If (c > 19) * (c < 26) Then c.Offset(0, 1) = "02000"
If (c > 25) * (c < 161) Then c.Offset(0, 1) = "02600"
If c > 159 Then c.Offset(0, 1) = WorksheetFunction.Text(c, "000") & "00"
If Asc(Left(c, 1)) > 58 Then c.Offset(0, 1) = "17000"
If c > 170 Then c.Offset(0, 1) = "18000"
Next c

If Sub A is calling Sub B which is calling Sub C, then how to exit the entire procedure from Sub C, if one needs to?
Placing Exit Sub in Sub C would exit the sub and returns control to Sub B, and the execution of procedure continues!

In trying to set up a structure for a bigger and better worksheet, I've come up against a problem that doesn't make sense to me: When the Worksheet is activated, the startTimer sub is in fact run with the OnTime application. But I keep getting the error message "Macro MakeNote not found," when that macro is in fact right there.
The code is very simple:
Sub Worksheet_Activate()
startTimer
End Sub
Sub startTimer()
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "MakeNote"
End Sub
Sub MakeNote()
ActiveSheet.Cells(6, 5).Value = "YES"
End Sub
Sub TimerExpired()
checkNewBar
End Sub
Sub checkNewBar()
ActiveSheet.Cells(4, 1).Value = "123"
End Sub
A second question: witll the TimerExpired macro run all by itself when the Timer expires, or do I need to do something special ?

I have designed a multipage userform which is executed through a toolbar button in my Excel. How can I access this Userform from another workbook with a different file name?
I have tried by using the tool>References and checking the VBAProject in the original workbook, however, when I click on the toolbar button in Excel (to activate the userform dialog box), the error message "A document with the filename already exists. Cannot open two documents with same name." Problem is....the filenames are not the same.

I want to write a procedure similar to MMULT. I find that
Public Function aa_ok(arg1 As Range)
works to get the data.
I have not been able to figure how to get the result back to the spreadsheet.
Documentation sez that args are passed by ref, but I am unable to modify args and see the change in the spreadsheet (thank god).
I find that statements like
aa_ok = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
work just fine but statements like
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A5").Value = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
don't, even though I copied that statement from the help system.
I tried
Function calculate(ByRef X As Range, ByRef Y As Range)
calculate = X * Y
End Function
which I got here - and it doesn't work on my system.
I get a block of cells with repeats of #VALUE! where I expect my result to be displayed.
I have Excel 2000 9.0.2720 and VBA Retail 6.0.8714
I have looked at security and it is set low.
