Prevent Users *Selecting* Cells Using VB
Jun 2, 2006I am currently setting up protection on an excel sheet - I have a proceedure to open a specific worsheet and lock and unlock cells according to whether or not certain information exisit. My question is, although I can lock cells and prevent users changing them using code I can't seem to stop them selecting cells in the first place - this is obviously achieveable from the 'Protection'>'protect workbook' menu but I want to do it from code since the sheet is unprotected and reprotected a number of times during a session....

Prevent The Users From Inserting Columns Within A Certain Range?
Jan 7, 2010I am instantiating Excel 2003 from vb.net and populating the spreadsheet from SQL. The workbook itself will be maintained even when the .Net program is inactive (so that the column headers are established and saved.) Is it possible to prevent the users from inserting columns within a certain range?

Sep 30, 2007I have a spreadsheet that is very large and formated a certain way. I want to make sure that a user cant put the cursor in the lower left corner and copy cells by dragging, copy & paste, or do anything other than input data and be able to highleght text and reinput data in case they mistyped or misspelled the data.
ex: user clicks on cell E33 and types in '1234568' and then move to next cell. The user can click back on E33 and can correct by retyping. That is all the user is allowed.
The cells in question are also in ranges if this helps. EX: 'E33:AJ67'
Prevent A User From Opening Another Workbook
Feb 12, 2009How can I prevent a user from opening another workbook in an Excel session "from the outside"?
I'm fairly new to VB. I'm developing (in VB 2003) a simple but SECURE Excel environment which will allow a user to update a hidden Master_Records workbook. I need to keep the user's Excel session secure...for example, I've disabled all Excel Toolbars and Command Buttons, effectively preventing the user from doing anything except filling in some cell values and clicking on a few custom buttons in the worksheet. But how can I prevent the user from opening another workbook into the active session from his desktop and introducing some malicious code into the session via that route?
One respondent in another forum (the only one, in fact) suggested that I look into "instantiating workbook level events" so that I can detect when other workbooks are open. I'm not sure what that means, is there someone here who could give me some guidance into that solution?
Prevent Spreadsheet From Opening When Being Updated
Jun 19, 2007I currently have a spreadsheet that my deparment use at work. Its just a full time equivallent sheet, nothing fancy. However I added code onto it to prevent users opening it as I was updating it.
However I went to open it and It wouldnt open. It wouldn't recognise me as being the exception. Its just a code on the workbook open that says if user is "slb090" (which is me) then do nothing, else msgbox and just a quickie sayign come back later".
I have attached the spreadsheet, in the hope someone can open this for me and remove the message so I can open it!
Prevent Email Code From Opening New Instance Of Outlook Every Time
Aug 28, 2013the code always opens a new instance of Outlook even though one may already be open. If left unchecked I may have like 30 instances open if I leave the computer for a few hours. So I was wondering is there some snippet of code I can add in here to check if excel is open first and if so do not open a new instance?
Code:
Dim OutApp As Object
Dim OutMail As Object
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
On Error Resume Next
' Change the mail address and subject in the macro before you run it.
With OutMail
.To = "xxxx@live.com"

Wordpad To Excel
Jun 17, 2009I am hoping someone can help me out of a problem i have. I have some numerical data (temperature readings) that was recorded / stored to a wordpad file.
I have to do some analysis of the data, such as finding mean / maximum and temperature differentials, which i thought would be as easy as opeining up the wordpad file in excel, and then doing formulas (such as =D7-E7).
However, i cannot get any formulas to cork - they all arrive back with VALUE and although all the data is numbers to look at, it might be stored as a text format? (my laymen knowledge isn't that great!)
am i missing out any steps to be able to use the data i have in wordpad as numbers in excel so i can use formulas?
Open Csv With Wordpad
Oct 19, 2007I would like to Use my Excel VBA program to do this:
User Selectable: Open a CSV file using wordpad.
Once the program is opened I would like to search each row in the document for a name (value of 5 as a unique identifier) if the name exists then I would like to delete the entire row.
After the whole document is done I would like to close it and save changes.
The reason that I cant do this using excel is because the file gets screwed up, whenever I try to do the above in excel, even when I save in csv format and everything. The file has to be procesed through a nother program once I delete the unvanted info that is very picky about commas and any alteration in excel results in the file being incorrectly used.
The only method that I found that works is when I MANUALY open the csv in wordpad delete the lines I dont want and then close and save changes. Using this method the other program acepts the chaged file without a problem.
I can write the code to use excel to do it and it seams preaty simple. If what I need requires too complex an answer then please dont worry as I probably wouldnt understand it anyway.
I have included the code that does what I want in excel but results in the csv file being unusable.
'Read in path from setup area on front sheet and open "Open" box
DPath = Cells(2, "C").Value & Cells(2, "D").Value
ChDrive (Cells(2, "C").Value)
ChDir (DPath)
strFile = Application. GetOpenFilename(" (*.csv), *.csv", 1, "Select your System CSV file in Price Folder (Double Click on it)")
If strFile = False Then Goto 1001

Address Formatting From Wordpad To Make Mailing List
Mar 11, 2013I have a data set for over 9000 addresses and can't get it formatted the way I need to. Attached is a small version of the doc. I need colums with "Name, address, zip, state, etc." and need to get rid of any duplicate addresses. address mock1.xlsx.
The main issue i'm running into is some of the addresses are 3 rows, some are 4 or 5. If there is a way to group all the data automatically between the "----------------------" that seperate them I think the offset or concatenate tools might work?
This document was originally wordpad in this form and I don't neccesarily need all the data, mainly need to make a mailing list. address mock1.txt
Opening A File Without Opening A Workbook
Apr 17, 2007I have a need to open a file from my companies intranet. My current method was to open said file via the method that the recorder gave me. However, I would like ot be able to open a said file without having to start open another workbook.
This is the path:
[url]
So the command is this:
Workbooks.Open [url]
Links are not actual links
So what I need to know. Is how can I open this file without opening a workbook. I haven't been able to use the VB "Open Statement" to open a file and I don't believe that I've been successfull using the Filesystem object either.

Feb 27, 2009Although I'm able to write UDFs and distribute addins, one thing I've found is that if you use a UDF formula on a sheet on one machine, save it, then open it on another, Excel doesn't automatically look in the local .xla for the formula. In fact it tries to find it on the network (expecting to locate the originating user's machine, I suspect) and then throw a strop....

View 1 Replies View RelatedFormulas Not Calculating For Some But Not All Users
Apr 21, 2009I have a workbook that is linked to 2 text files and updates just fine for me but when someone else opens it it does not calculate the new information just keeps the old. New text files are ran from our database to excel every night. When the workbook is opened the formulas should recalculate based on the updated info in the text files. Problem is when I open the file it performs perfectly and updates as it is supposed to but when my colleague opens the file it is not updating and does not show the new updates. I have checked to make sure the calculation is set to automatic. I have also confirmed that we are both working with 2003 version. I even had her open the text files and close and reopen the workbook and no go. I hat her do ctrl+alt+f9, even ctrl+alt+shift+f9. Had her click on the function, hit enter and nothing. Even tried find and replace = with = to wake up excel and nada.
