I'm just finishing up a project involving migrating an old Excel 4 macro to VBA. Unfortunately, now that my spiffy (and slow) VBA is finished, I can't find a way to delete the Excel 4 macro! I've tried going to Tools -> Macro -> Macros, and while the old macros are shown there, the delete button is greyed out!
View 3 Repliesi have quite a lot of excel 2003 spreadsheets which once edited and saved by excel2007. now, i'm using back excel 2003. (because my efficiency dropped by half by searching the command i wanted in excel2007.) when i open them with excel2003 again, there are a lot of styles. i want to remove them. but it is a tedious job to remove them one by one for these spreadsheets.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to modify the 1st style under the Light category? I like it because it's the most simple but it won't allow me to Modify or Duplicate. Is there a work around to duplicating/copying it? I've tried manually creating a new style but I can't get it to get the lines fills correctly.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm a fan of the Excel 2010 table styles, but can't figure one thing out. When I create a table in excel (Ctrl+T), I like to reformat it with a new defined style. When I save the style, I can use it while I'm in that instance of excel, but when I close and reopen excel, the style is gone. How to save the custom formats to they are always available?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a website that I have been posting filtered worksheets of specific formats of items for interested viewers to view. The Looker can click on the Button and Open or Save a Copy of the Worksheet. I hide unused rows and columns to reduce size.
I filter my main worksheet to find the item type that I want to isolate - I copy the Result to another file - Run a Macro to Remove the information that I dont want to show. Hide Unused rows and Columns. Save as my File name and Upload to the Website.
BUT -- In my Excel Workbooks I have Macros - Some in the personal file. Some attached to Specific Files. When the Viewer clicks to see the file -- it offers the Macros ( Enable or Disable ). This Scares off many viewers and they Cancel.
When I delete the macros and save -- it deletes the Macros from MY computer as well.
How can I remove Macros from only the Sheet that I want to post for my website.
Here is the URL of one of the Current Buttons to a posted file if you care to view and see what I mean and am attempting to do.
I have developed a series of spreadhseets in which I use a macro to derive and insert the data from a SQL Server db. These spreadsheets may have one or more worksheets, some of which start as blank "canvases", others are preformatted with static data.
They are used for client reporting so are heavily formatted and include graphs; some manual preformatting, some coded, some graphs drawn completely by the code, some already in place - I just populate the data source. The VBA for the most complex one extends to around 5-6000 lines of code.
While this code does not add a huge amount to the footprint of the files, I feel that it is inappropriate for the spreadsheets to be distributed to the end clients with all this code included. The code is password "protected" but we all know how effective that can be although that is not really the point anyway - I simply feel it would be more professional if the code were not there at all.
There doesn't seem to be any options on a "Save As" method which enable the resulting sheets to be saved without the macros. I have tried recording a macro in which all I did was to delete the macros concerned - nothing was recorded. So a macro to remove macros seems to be out of the question.
These spreadsheets are held in a master folder on a server and are set as "read only". The users start the a sheet, run the macro (via a menu item which displays a selection form) and then save the resulting spreadsheet as another file in another location. I am wondering if there is some way I can cut into this process and develop my own "save" routine.
What is the commands or script for deleting a macro automatically using
another workbook macro.
I would like to email an Excel file without the macros so the end recipients will only see the data and not be confused or excited about the prompt to enable/disable macros.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have several workbooks that contain the same worksheets. The worksheets within the several workbooks are structurally the same but have a different number of elements within the structure of the worksheets. I've written Macros that accommodate the difference in the number of elements in the worksheets and will perform the same appropriate tasks within all workbooks.
I use one of the workbooks for development and as I make changes in the Macros within this development workbook, I wish to update all the macros in the other workbooks.
I've been Exporting and Importing to accomplish the update. Is there a utility available that will accomplish this task? Something like "Copy all Modules from "Workbook1.xls"

View 10 Replies View RelatedI want to delete all macros from my workbook (so it will work well in Mac 2008). I went to Alt-F11 and deleted all Macros there and check every sheet and found no references. I did all that and when I try to open it in Excel for Mac it says there are still Macros.
How can I ensure my workbook has no macros?
I want to copy some macro's from one workbook to another one. But I don't want to copy all macro's to the new workbook. For example: I have 20 macro's, and only want to copy 2 of them every time.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have made 7 macros for inserting a blank row above certain text, which are located in single column but in different row. 3 macros are for one sheet and 4 are for other. I am able to run them at once but the changes are getting done in only one sheet (which is active when I run macro)
Below is the code of macro:
Sub Space1()
Dim c As Range
For Each c In Range("D1:D60")
[Code]......
In addition to the code below that hides data if macros not enabled, prevents copy and cut (I know its still possible) I would like to as well as protect the sheets (which works fine) also protect the workbook to prevent moves etc. Unfortunately while the protection may be easily applied, the veryhidden bit to ensure macros are selected then conks out. Does anyone out there know of a way where say the workbook protection may remain and at the same time allow the veryhidden etc bits do their stuff as normal as if the workbook protection was off?
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave _
(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)

View 2 Replies View RelatedOur department receives weekly and fortnighly updated workbooks from a number of different departments. Each workbook contains 10s of worksheets. Our department analyzes the data and generates reports from those worksheets.
I have developed a few macros to automate the report generation for making the computing of my colleagues easier.
Now, the problem is that all the macros are developed behind individual sheets and some modules. For this reason, my colleagues have to copy each updated sheet and paste over the older ones individually, each and every time. It is really quite time-consuming task - deleting older data from all the worksheets and then copying fresh data on each of them, one by one.
They want to make their life easier by just replacing the entire workbooks with the new ones and still want the macros functioning, as usual.
My concern is how I can put all the code in a separate workbook and how to reference data from the other workbook.
I have created an Excel Workbook and this Workbook has a VBA code that enforces an expiry date of the workbook (TimeBomb from cpearson.com). So, if the expiry date has passed, the workbook will not open. But since it is VBA related, the expiry date will work only if one has enabled macros. If macros are disabled, the workbook will open regardless of the date.
So, is there a way for Excel to check if macros are enabled? and is there a way for Excel not to open the workbook, if the macros are disabled?
I've used excel for awhile now but never really tapped into the tough stuff. I'm trying to create a workbook for work for Purchase Orders. I figured excel would be workable. The big thing I need is that for each worksheet that is created, I need it to automatically have the next P.O. number on the sheet. I have no idea if that is possible though. Each worksheet will be the same style but the P.O. would automatically change from say 105 to 106 when the new sheet is made. I was hoping maybe the date could automatically be entered as well. That doesn't have to happen but it could be helpful. Working with Excel 2003.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to open a workbook that someone sends me once a week, and suddenly it's timing out (hourglass) and not opening.
I know for a fact that he put in some formulas (but no macros) that reference a file only he has access to.
And, auto calculation, he leaves on.
I see the file open on one of the 3 sheets in it, but the hourglass never goes away, and when I Ctrl Alt Del, it says Excel is Not Responding.
Is there any way I can get this file to open so that I can fix it or transfer the raw data to a new workbook?
First of I have a workbook, that runs several macros. All works fine. However I need to better secure the workbook. I realize that there is no guarantee on the security with excel but am hoping for something to solve the problem stated below.
When a user (with high security settings) opens the workbook in question, I would like the workbook to CLOSE out if the user chooses to disable macros when the asked by excel.
I have a "template" that runs a few processes and then saves the results in a new workbook...is there any way that I can have my vba code save the workbook without saving any of the vba code in the new workbook?
I would also like to exclude one of the worksheets from the new workbook if possible (but the first part is more important).
The current code I have is: ...
A macro to automaticlly run macros in my workbook when I schedule it to open through scheduler at a given time.
I would like to place a command in a macro to have a workbook replicate itself WITHOUT replicating its macros. Is that possible? Is there a command? I am using Excel 2003.

Is it possible to open a workbook via vba, but disable the macros? I know this sounds strange, but the workbook is coded to prevent users from saving it, and the only way to save it is to either open it with macros disabled or change the variable OKtoSave to true, but the variable is global only to the sheet and I can't find a way to change it through a macro written in my personal.xls workbook.
