Private Sub Workbook_Open() Doesn't Execute

Feb 25, 2008

why the code below might not execute ? It just seems like it skips over the code and doesn't run at all.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'AssignRequestNumber()
MsgBox ("Whoa")
Run "AssignTrackNumber"

End Sub

I have a macro assigning a unique number to the file in a fixed cell whenever the .xlt file is opened from File-New.

Both 'Private Sub Workbook_Open' And 'Auto Open' Run Sequentially

Aug 1, 2009

I have built a complex vba & multisheet spreadsheet that I am looking to secure against all the common attacks. So I have:A Workbook Open pw;
VBA password (29 symbols/numbers/Caps/lower case)
Very Hidden worksheets
Hidden rows/columns
Restricted scroll areas
Workbook protection
Code that auto protects all sheets upon opening
Registry referencing in Workbook Open with timed closure if not matched
Now I am on the last leg of implementing protection against Application.EnableEvents = False; force enabling of Macros and hiding of toolbars, scrollbars etc... Phew.

Soooo, in my research, I have learnt that if EnableEvents = False, Workbook_Open is essentially skipped and the security VBA routines are disabled. To get around, I have copied the entire contents of the Workbook_Open routine to a module under Auto_Open. The first line of both these scripts is: Application.EnableEvents = True.

Works! So far so good.
However, I have a Msgbox prompt in the scripts that displays twice. So in essence, Excel is running Workbook Open first, then Auto Open second.
If I open another instance of Excel and run Application.EnableEvents = False first before opening my spreadsheet, I only get one message. So only the Auto Open script runs.

Workbook_Open Doesn't Run On Second Open

Dec 29, 2009

I have noticed this on more than one workbook with an Workbook_Open macro. When you open Excel, open Workbook1, do some work , save or don't save and close, then reOpen Workbook1 without having closed the Excel application, the Workbook_Open macro in Workbook1 doesn't run.

Closing Excel and reopening Workbook1 initiates the Workbook_Open macro. It's as if Excel remembers having previously opened Workbook1 and so it doesn't rerun the Workbook_Open macro the next time you open it.

Workbook_open() To Every Workbook

I want to use this command when I open every workbook.

How do I do that? I know you're supposed to put the macro in the thisworkbook module in the workbook, but I have 600 workbooks that needs to be changed. That is just not a good idea. I've tried to put the macro in the workbook called own.xls (I use a swedish version of excel, dont know what it is called in english) thisworkbook,

Workbook_open Yes/No Popup

Nov 18, 2009

I script that on open would pop up asking if a sync was done with an option for yes or no. If yes is pressed then it would just open, if no selected it would give a message "must sync before use" and close the workbook.

I do not want this message to pop up when other spreadsheets are open when this one is still open so im guessing private workbook_open

Workbook_open Not Firing

Jun 26, 2007

I am using the following code in my Workbook_Open sub, located in the ThisWorkbook code module. I am enabling macros when opening. All other VBA code in the project is running correctly.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Worksheets("Sheet1").init
MsgBox "starting"
End Sub

The init sub did not appear to be running so I inserted the MsgBox to confirm, but that doesn't come up either.

Workbook_Open() In Separate File

Oct 14, 2008

I have an Excel add-in file (stored .xla format) that is used by a lot of other spreadsheets on a network location because it is modified often, and all workbooks made from a template reference it. everything with that works fine, and any changes made to the add-in file are always reflected upon startup in the workbooks. So there isn't a problem with that. Recently I've had to add a Workbook_Open() sub into this add-in (which I wrote in 'ThisWorkbook'). However, this macro is never entered by any of the workbooks. Is it possible to have a workbook_open sub in another file? If so, what can be causing it to fail (there aren't any errors or anything like that in the sub)?

Disable Workbook_open From Another Macro

Jun 14, 2007

from 1 sheet i am opening several other worksheets and read in the bits i want.
i am finding that on occasions the workbook_open on these sheets is causing great performance issues because of the calc mode set to automatic in the open routine of the individual sheets. i dont need it to be set to auto but the sheet owners perfer it to be set like this and i cant turn it off their sheets. is ther a way of opening a workbook from a macro and then override its workbook_open routine?

Set wb = Workbooks.Open(sSourceFolder & "" & "mySheet.xls", False, True)

i cant find any other switches that i could use to disable this.

Workbook_open Event In Order To Stop Annoying Messages If You Haven't Physically Made Changes

Jul 3, 2007

I've been setting the above property to TRUE after making some changes in the Workbook_open event in order to stop annoying messages if you haven't physically made changes.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to copy through to the workbook_beforeclose event and I'm being asked if I want to save changes even though the macro made the changes and then set the property.
Here's my code for the open event :-

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error Resume Next
For counter = Worksheets.Count To 2 Step -1
Sheets(counter).Visible = xlVeryHidden
Next
Sheets("Desktop").Visible = True
Sheets(1).Visible = xlVeryHidden.....

Private Sub Running Twice

Oct 22, 2013

I have a drop down box selecting from a list of dates (Oct-13 - Dec-14) that I need to display as "mmm-yy" to the end user so have written the following code to format when a date is selected:

Code:
Private Sub SDatePicker_Change()
SDatePicker.Value = Format(SDatePicker.Value, "mmm-yy")
End Sub

For some reason the code seems to run through itself twice and I can't figure out why. The result of this is an incorrect date being displayed (strangely when I select 'Jan-14' for example, the result is 'Jan-13'.

Perhaps I should point out that the default formatting of the date values seems to be in number format e.g. 41976.

Difference Between Private Sub And Sub

May 30, 2007

I have two funtions which I am trying to put in ThisWorkbook.

Private Sub Workbook_Open and Private Sub 2. The Workbook_Open calls on Sub 2.

Now, with both of these in ThisWorkbook, I get the error that Sub 2 macro cannot be found.

And if I put the Sub 2 in a module, everything works.

Now, I am trying to put both in ThisWorkbook instead of only one.

Running Private Sub From A Macro

Mar 17, 2014

I have 3 different sheets with a private sub on each all labelled

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

The macro's runs fine on each page.

I want to put a macro on a separate sheet that i can run each of those macro's

I did initially copy the original private macro and change the

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

to

sub report()

But I couldn't do all 3 in the same manner. i did change each name to something different... the other 2 subs did run, but they didn't do anything except put the massage box on the end saying that "the macro has finished".

The private macros are on sheets 26, 28 and 12.
