Protecting Code Against Work Arounds
Feb 3, 2009
I've written some code that passwords a sheet, and that code needs to be entered each time you access the sheet because you can carry out any changes.
I've written it so that the password changes every 30 days, and it's protected from the ctrl + break function.
The code will be activated after a certain date (28/02/09). Is it possible to add a bit of code to this, so that once the date has passed 28/02/09, it cannot be 'tricked' by changing the system clock to before this date?

I am working in the D3:K20
I have set my column width at 3.6 and row height at 19.6
I want to protect this area so that the column width or row height don't change.

I have a macro that runs through a list and stores elements to an array. If the element is not found in my list, it adds to the next available row and adds the value from the array to that cell. Right now, I am searching in column d but am storing the value of column a at that location. When I switch the reference to column D, the value is not inserted into my new list.
Here is my current code:
Code:
Sub Arraytest()
Dim arr As Variant, lastrow As Long, i As Long, f As Long, l As Long, lastrow2 As Long, insertrow As Long
[Code].....
Why does the code not work properly when I switch to D? The value is storing correctly in the array. I test this by the last line of the code and it executes properly.

I have this code...
Code:
Sub Macro1()
'
Sheets("Log").Select
Range("F1").Copy
For Each wb In Workbooks
If wb.Name Like "Test Book*" Then
wb.Activate
Sheets("Data").Select
Range("O2").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
[code].....
can't get it to work properly...Basically I want the code to copy the date in cell F1 of the 'Log' sheet in Workbook 'Main' - then goto an open Workbook called 'Test Book' (note: this Test Book is a partial string name used hence the other code around it) and paste the copied date into cell O2 in sheet 'Data'
Using this pasted date in cell O2 carry out the required filter function.
The copy/paste of the date from my Workbook Main to Test Book isn't working so the code then shows error when trying to filter the data using the pasted date.

One thing that absolutely drives me nuts is when I copy code letter for letter from the book (Excel VBA Programing For Dummies) and it doesn't work. You don't know if it's the book or yourself. Here's the latest piece of code that doesn't work.
Sub SetAlarm()
Application.OnTime TimeValue("7:30:00 pm"), "DisplayAlarm"
End Sub
Sub DisplayAlarm()
Beep
MsgBox "Wake up, homey!"
End Sub
The message and time are mine, of course, but the rest of the code is exact. I've changed the time multiple times, but it just flat-out won't execute.

SaveASheet
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("Open").Activate
End Sub
Sub SaveASheet()
Dim fName As String

I've selected a case statement (see below) but I want to that code to work automatically. So i do not want to press a button to show a certain value in S2. But I want cell c2 to automatically pop up the value (depending of the value in V4). So kind like an if/then statement.
Sub CASEMEDEWERKER()
Select Case Range("F4").Value
Case "Medewerker"
Range("S2") = "M"
Case "Interview"
Range("S2") = "I"
Case "Data"
Range("S2") = "D"
Case "Observatie"
Range("S2") = "O"
End Select
End Sub

I am trying to simultaneously use two Excel workbooks that are open at the same time--one is calculations--other is data scenarios...one worksheet = one scenario: A macro uses "Set" to specify workbooks for "current_wb" and "wbkFrom". Code here
Set current_wb = ThisWorkbook
Dat_Fil = Application. GetOpenFilename
Workbooks.Open Dat_Fil
Set wbkFrom = Application.ActiveWorkbook
NOTE-Workbook object variables are declared outside any macro, and as "public." Code here
Public current_wb As Workbook
Public wbkFrom As Workbook
In a second macro I want to use the Current_wb and wbkFrom object variables I set in first macro, but get the following error: "object variable or With block variable not set" for any of the following statements in the second macro
current_wb.Activate
current_wb.Worksheets(1).Select
wbkFrom.Activate
I've declared the object variables as public in a different code module where there is no other code; I've tried declaring as public at the top of the code module that has my macros, but declared at top of code module and outside any macro; I've tried declaring the object variables as "static" variables (instead of "public") within the first macro. I can't figure this out.

I had to remove a lot of pictures in the xls file in order to attach it, (since the original is about 5.3mb) but it worked out. When you move your arrow over the titles in column A a picture shows up thanks to a code. When you change the status in column G, the color changes together with the title in column A, as it should.

I am having trouble trying to develop a code to include into a spreadsheet for work. It will be a live spreadsheet accessed by a few people who will have control over there own columns in the spreadsheet (2 columns are designated for one project) Each Project director is to edit the info about their project.
So my goal is to put a code in cell C3 that shows the date that cells C4-32 and D4-32 were last updated.

I have a folder on a public drive. (\CFDIVIX1PublicPurchasing2009)
This folder contains multiple sub-folders (the sub folders are vendors which I purchase merchandise from) each sub-folder has 1 .xls file in it. Each file has 1 sheet containing all the information I need to retrieve.
Each one of these files has the same header information in cells A1 through I2 so I manually place that when I create this new workbook prior to inserting the macro. Each work sheet has a different # of rows depending on the number of items I buy from that particular vendor but I feel safe saying it never exceeds 250 rows per worksheet.
What I need
For the macro to pull up the first work sheet and pull out the data from cells A3 through I250 and place that data into my new work sheet in the same format. Then I want the code to move on to the next worksheet and pull out the A3 through I250 and place that data in the new worksheet directly below the last row of data that was pulled in. (Also it would be great if the code ignored blank values. Like if the first work sheet it pulled data from only had data in the first 10 rows I don’t want 240 rows of blank rows before the next set of data)
I hope that running this macro will accomplish transferring all of my data from these multiple sheets into a single work sheet containing all of the pricing for all of my vendors. Once I have this I can place a second sheet on the workbook and use a formula to pull out pricing information that I need on a per basis without having to search through 50 vendors to find who it comes from. I don’t control the vendor work sheets that I want to extract data from so I need to use the macro to run it weekly incase my purchasing dept makes changes.

My company recently upgraded everyone to Microsoft 2010 from 2007 version. I have no substantial VBA skill and left with a VBA code which is supposed to extract a list of outlook emails sitting in a shared mailbox into Excel.
I was using that VBA code in Outlook 2007 and it worked fine but shows the following error when run in Outlook 2010: 'Run-time error '-2147221233 (8004010f)': The attempted operation failed. An object could not be found. Here is part of the code:
[Code] .....
It worked after one of the members suggested to "click on any line of this code and press F8 repeatedly until the yellow focus moves to the error line, don't press F8 anymore. Now in immediate window, copy paste each of below lines, press enter after each line. Let us know where the error occur." However, it stop working the next day.
? olNS.Folders("Mailbox - Market Intelligence").Folders.Count
? olNS.Folders("Mailbox - Market Intelligence").Folders("Inbox").Items.Count
? olNS.Folders("Mailbox - Market Intelligence").Folders("Inbox").Folders("MI").Items.Count

I asked for a macro to delete the whole row if a duplicate customer number was found in column B. Sometimes, though, my column numbers change. So, logically thinking, I simply changed the criteria, but the macro ONLY seems to work if duplicate customer numbers are in column B only.
This code below won't work if the Customer Number is in column D instead of B even if the reference of B:B is changed to D:D, it doesn't carry the macro over.?

I have some VBA code which hides columns based on a cell value. The cell value changes according to which option button is selected. The code works but not when the button is selected and the cell value changes. It is necessary to click elsewhere in the sheet or press Enter to get the columns to hide. I want it to do it automatically as a user wouldn't know to click elsewhere.
The working code is:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("N5").Value = 2 Then
Columns("O:R").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Else
Columns("O:R").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
End If
End Sub
N5 is the linked cell for the option button.

I have some code for changing the scale of my chart axes so that when new data is inserted into the column which the chart sources from (say column B), the axis scales on my chart will automatically adjust (as the Excel algorithm sometimes leads to charts which are a bit squashed). This code works fine, and I have included it below.
I have then tried to introduce an ActiveX listbox so that when you select an item in the box, the reference number generated (1,2,3...etc) then determines which data series is inserted into column B using a vlookup function. However, when I do this, the original VBA code for automatically adjusting the chart axes no longer works.
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects(1).Chart

I have my code here:
VB:
Sub openfiles()Dim Path As String
Dim ExcelFile As String
' Path = GetFolder("C:UsersKinteshDesktop")
Path = "C:UsersKinteshDesktopVBA programmingMaps"
ExcelFile = Dir(Path & "*.xls")
[Code] ....
NextCode:
GetFolder = sitem
Set fldr = Nothing
End Function
My problem is that the code all actually works (including the function and when I use the commented part), but pointing to this one specific directory (the one I'm using right now), literally nothing happens.

i need to work out a formula for my spreadsheet which I use to work out cutting lists for timber frames. I need it to work out if the width of a job is for eg 2400mm i need to work out how many timber studs I need so the space between each stud is between 400mm and 500mm and this will need to work for a range of different sizes of frames. I have it written at the moment and it just devides the width by 400 and gives me a amount of studs but it would work much better if it could space them between 400 & 500.

I would like to protect the worksheet from modification by other users except column A ( suppose A1: A15).
I have been doing this by removing Locked on format cell and then Protect Sheet on Review tab.
Is it the right way or there are other more reliable way?

I have created a form that allows users to input data to an excel sheet, and also will enable users to view the data once they are done.
Is there a way to unprotect the sheet using VBA so that the data can be written, and then protecting once the data has been input?

I've got about 50 worksheets in a workbook and I'd like to protect them all.
Problem however is that I've got buttons in my worksheets that insert rows, delete rows.
I've also got a dynamic chart with listboxes that select data.
When I protect my worksheets all this is disabled.
Is there a way around this?
This is what I've done so far:

I have a bunch of worksheets in my workbook say around 50
Each worksheet has the same template layout!
I am trying to figure out a macro that will select all worksheets from 'KLKN':'KFSN' and protect the cells L45:L52 accross to AL45:AL52
Unfortunately I cannot select all worksheets and protect them, instead I would have to manually do this, or create a macros that will do it for me...

I am trying to protect all sheets on a Workbook Close event.
I don't want the user to even be able to Select the Loked cells so I set it up that way through formating of cells.
This is what I have tried:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim sh As Worksheet
For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
sh.Protect Password:="P@ssword", DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
ActiveSheet.EnableSelection = xlUnlockedCells
' sh.Protect Password:="P@ssword"
Next sh
End Sub
I even tried the commented out line in that postion instead of where it is now.
It does protect but still allows selection of locked cells.
