How can i manage that my code in the Workbook_Open() event is run when i open that workbook with some code from an other workbook?
When i manually open that workbook, excel runs all events, including my Workbook_Open() event, but i need to open this one out of an event of an other workbook.
Why can't I get this code to work? The first line seems to work ok but not yet sure as the rest doen't work.
I have tried NEXT_YEAR as a string and as a number but I keep getting an error.
Sub test()
NEXT_YEAR = "2013"
ChDir "J:Maxtor backupFire DeptVacations " & NEXT_YEAR
Workbooks.Open(Filename:= _
"J:Maxtor backupFire DeptVacations " & NEXT_YEAR "VacGrp - 1 - " & NEXT_YEAR & ".xls""", UpdateLinks _
:=3).RunAutoMacros Which:=xlAutoOpen
End sub
Below is the code I am trying to replace and it works fine.
ChDir "J:Maxtor backupFire DeptVacations 2013"
Workbooks.Open(Filename:= _
"J:Maxtor backupFire DeptVacations 2013VacGrp - 1 - 2013.xls", UpdateLinks _
:=3).RunAutoMacros Which:=xlAutoOpen
I want to be able to launch code in an add-in to perform a check when other workbooks are opened by the user. Code in the Open event for the add-in launches when Excel opens, not when each workbook is opened

I cannot figure out how to get my error handler to work, or actually, not work. It seems to work fine when there is an error, but the code still gets read even when there was not an error. Basically, I am trying to open a file, which may or may not be there. When it is not there I want a message to pop up informing the user. However, when the file is there and it opens, the error handler still gives the message box. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Private Sub btnOK_Click()
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Dim LCSfile As String
LCSfile = frmSelectFile.Listbox1.Value

I am trying to write a code where user has to respond to input box option depending on yes or no selection. There are two types of responses to different questions. One needs to respond between 1 and 100 (if yes) and for some other questions needs between 1 and 4 (if yes). A "no" will enter zeo value. But it is not working.

This is the path:

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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI wrote a small .xla add-in for Excel, which puts a command bar on top, and provides several buttons that do some tasks on the workbook that are frequently needed in our office. At some point, I needed to catch the event of a newly activated sheet, because my add-in will do something upon this event (namely, change the state of one of the buttons on its own command bar)
After some reading and searching, I managed to accomplish the task, however not completely. I first want to copy my code. The code has some tags in it, in order to make it easy to follow the flow and find out where the error lies. Here is the class module in the xla, which handles the events of the application:
' Class name is EventClassModule
Public WithEvents App As Application
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
MsgBox "Event Class initialized" ' Just to follow
End Sub
Private Sub App_WorkbookOpen(ByVal Wb As Workbook)
MsgBox "WB Opened: " & Wb.Name ' Just to follow
End Sub.......................
I have several similar statements in different events in my UserForm code. Is it possible to separate these statements in a procedure and call it each it when I need it? The similar statements are:
With Sheets("Knowledge")
For Each rw In .Range("A2:A" & .Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
If ListBox5.List(, 4) = Trim(rw.Value) Then
Label1.Caption = rw.Offset(, 1).Value
Label2.Caption = rw.Offset(, 4).Value
Label3.Caption = rw.Offset(, 5).Value
Exit For
End If
Next rw
End With
If it's not possible to make my code shorter with a procedure, can I optimize somehow this repeated code?

After the Sub is run 1 time, it runs again. Why? I've disabled Events?
I have a program that uses the Document Open event to display a custom form. This program is being used on about 50 computers for the past 8 years with no problems. One user has a problem now. They can open the program once and the code fires. But when the user tries to open the same file a second time, the "Microsoft Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close" dialog box is displayed. The document that is recovered has no vba modules and no code in the Document open event. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Office Professional. Shut down all firewalls.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am using the below code (i have combined different bits of code which i found on these forums) to open a new workbook, copy all the data in it and paste it into Sheet2 in the active workbook . Also, i want the data to be pasted on the next empty row as there is already data in Sheet2. The data that is being copied and pasted has the same format and it is going to be repeated many times.
The problem i am having is that it is not offsetting the data to the next empty row - i think it is a simple change but i can't seem to get there :s
Also, the code is currently selecting all of the data from the workbook that i open - is there a way i can select all of the data, excluding the first row (the first row contains the headings which i already have in Sheet2 in the active workbook).

I have a spreadsheet that data gets exported to from a software program. There is information such as customer name, part number, inquiry number, etc that I'd like to use to develop a log of all my estimates I create for parts. I'd like excel to take the cells I select and insert them into certain cells in the other workbook and automatically save that workbook. This will create a log of all my estimates where I can then link the full estimate to the log. The information will have to go in the next available row. Is there any way I can accomplish this without having to open the other workbook and save the work book each time?

I currently have a workbook that, when opened, automatically kicks off a macro (with a call from the Workbook_Open event in ThisWorkbook). I was to run that same called macro from a custom button that I put on a toolbar in Excel itself...which is pretty straight forward. However, when I do this, the macro kicks off twice...once from the button and once because the called macro's workbook opens and kicks off the macro with the Workbook_Open event.
So, what I was thinking was...is there a way to tell if a workbook is being opened by another workbook (by calling it's macro) or whether is was opened "normally (manually)"?
My friend emailed me a workbook. When she or I open the workbook, it opens two instances of it. Is there an option in excel that is causing it to do this? I need to send this a client and I do not want this to happen on their side.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with a button that will run a macro to open files and import sheets based on if the user checked the box. Everything works perfectly EXCEPT for the importing of the sheets from newly opened workbook.
Here is what I want the code to do:
1. if the box is checked then open the file
2. Copy (import) the first sheet in the newly opened workbook and put it before the 1st sheet.
3. Close the workbook that the sheet was copied from and do not save changes
4. active the workbook that has the newly imported sheet.
And here is what i have thus far:
Code:
Sub OpenFiles()
Dim Folderpath As String
Dim cell As Range
Dim r, LRow As Single
Dim Dbook As Workbook
Set Dbook = ActiveWorkbook
[code]....
After stepping through it, the problem is here:
Code:
Workbooks.Open Filename:=Folderpath & Range("B" & r).Value
Source = Range("B" & r)
Sheets(1).Copy Before:=Workbooks("CompletionWorksheet.xlsm").Sheets(1)
'How the hell do I close this ^ workbook
ActiveWorkbook.Close savechanges:=False 'This closes the workbook where the sheet was copied to
Windows("CompletionWorksheet.xlsm").Activate
Not sure what to do.
I have a workbook that consists of 3 sheets, it's a template I use. Once I am done filling out sheet 3, I save as a new workbook. When I have to go back to the template workbook it always opens on sheet 3. Is there anyway that once I open the template workbook it will open on sheet 1?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created an Add-in for use across the business, the add in calculates financial impact based on figures that are stored on the shared drive.
The addin currently opens the workbook, and sets the variables to figures contained in the workbook - and then closes the workbook.
To roll this out to the business - I need to get the add-in to open the workbook as read Only, so that it will allow multiple users to access at once. I have set to open as read only in the past - however this prompts me to save the workbook as something else.
Is there any way I can get this to just open as read only, do what it needs to - and then close; without having the option to save as something else?
As above i have a macro which opens a workbook which is on a network drive. This works fine for my multiple users...however i have discovered that if they do not have the drived mapped with the same drive letter at the start...it will throw up an error advsing that the file does not exist. Is there any way to by pass this.
Ex - "TestFile.xls"
File is stored in "E:NetworkTeam1Testfile.xls"
However, some users have access to this file and it is mapped as E:, but some users have been mapped as F: The advisors who have been mapped as F: cannot access the file. Is the VBA/Macro smart enough to bypass the drive letter and just search the rest of the past...NetworkTeam1Testfile.xls".

I'm attempting to write a macro (in Excel) that uses a path that is given in one of the fields of the worksheet to open a workbook and get find a field to return to the original worksheet. I have working code to pull the information from a worksheet within the same workbook, but I can't seem to get it to work with an external worksheet. Can someone assist me in getting this to work?
I have attached my original code that works, so all I need to do is translate it to open the external workbook and worksheet instead of using the local worksheet. This is pretty simple right?

I have a Workbook that will freeze while trying to open.
Macro Security is set to Medium (klik "Disable Macro" )
The Hour Glass mouse pointer will stay on "Wait" then a "Not Responding" Alert will appear on the top blue bar of Excel.
The only way to shutdown Excel is by using the Task Manager ( Cnt_Alt+Del)
All other workbooks open OK on their own, but as soon as I trt to open the problem workbook, everything Excel freezes.
