I was able to find the coding that I needed for being able to have a backup of my file. So when I save a workbook and close I also get a backup copy in another folder that is dated. But I am having problems getting the code to work. Probably because I do not understand it correctly. Here it is.
Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs "C:Documents and SettingsTeacherDesktopTEST" & _
Format( Date, "yyyy-mm-dd") & " - " & ThisWorkbook. Name
End Sub
Where it has, ThisWorkbook.Name, do I put the name of the workbook? Not sure.
I need to save an excel workbook when a "backup" button is pressed to a folder named "Backups". I want the name to be the "date" (09/07/2013) only and I want it to automatically overwrite anything previously saved for that day.
I have a shared document used by as many as 11 different people. right now I go into a document and save a copy each week in case one of them messes it up.
I want to have a user press a button on a worksheet page to save a copy of the workbook (and be able to name it and choose where to save it to) without closing or modifying the original. Note that if you "save as" manually it renames the workbook and closes the original.
I call the macro below from a Workbook_BeforeClose sub; however, if the user has not saved changes before they hit the close then the Sub SaveFile runs and then after the backup save they are then asked do you want to save changes.
I initially had this sub run with Workbook_BeforeSave, but I don't really want to run this everytime the user selects save.
Any ideas on how to how the save changes first and then the backup?
Something seems to have happened to my Excel. When I make changes and close the workbook or application, the pop-up box asking "Do you want to save the changes you made to [Book1]?" no longer shows up.
So far I've tried running a macro with Application.DisplayAlerts = True, but that only seems to work while the macro is running.
I close an existing excel file I need to automatically save it to another folder as the same name. I don't want any prompts or save as boxes to appear when this happens.
I need to do this as I use the file all the time, but need to save it on to a network where others can view it.
I am using this code to create a backup copy of my workbook:
Code: Sub DOUGHMON()Dim fname fname = "C:UsersAndrewDesktopWEEKLY SALES REPORTS" & Format(Now, "dd mmm yy") & ".xlsm" ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fname End Sub
The only problem with this code is that my current file gets closed and the backup is open. I'm not sure if that is exactly what happens, but when it is done the current file that is open is the copy, and I would like the original file to stay open.
I am trying to fix the width of a column everytime I open it but I can't. After I have fixed the column width and saved it before I close the file, when i reopen it, the column width will expand. The data source of that column is a real time query. I tried to lock the cell but when i locked it, I can't refresh the data from the query as it is locked. So, is there any way for me to achieve that?
There is only one task left I need to automate. On closing the document I would like a copy to be saved in a specific folder and be given the file name of a cell (B9). Obviously I would not want the 'saved copy' to retain the Incrementing invoice number or the clear cells function. Even if the invoice copy was exported as a flat jpeg that would be fine. I am using Office Exce 2003 (Sp2) - I have attached my invoice should anyone be kind enough to take a look.
I have a database (attached) that has data entered into the "Progression" sheet. This data is continually updated, and once each row has a section date, I have a macro that moves the data from "Progression" to the "Complete" sheet (and from there, into a specific month sheet). I AM REALLY CONCERNED with data accidentally getting deleted (especially when/after getting moved to "Complete"). I know that you can link cell values from one worksheet to another, but since my data is continually changing in the Progression and Complete sheets, the linkage wouldn't maintain the correct cell values from day to day. Is there a better approach to creating "backup" data in excel than this linkage option? Preferably something that runs in the background without my input?
An option could be that I move my data from Progression into both the Complete sheet and then a hidden "Master" sheet when I run the macro. If I chose that route, how would I modify my coding to include transferring to the Master sheet as well?
Lastly, a simple linkage between the Master sheet and another sheet in a second workbook should be sufficient as a backup method?
I would like to create a copy of an open workbook.
Workbook.SaveAs would seem to be a possibility, but this closes the original workbook - I need to keep the original workbook open as well as the workbook it has been "SavedAs".
I do not want to close the first workbook and repoen it as there are instances where it may be protected and I do not want the user to have to reinput any passwords etc.
I have a worksheet template with details in cell A1,B1,C1,D1,E1,F1,G1,H1 & I1and when the sheet closes I would like to save a copy of the cell contents to a different workbook called transaction history, is there any way that vba code could write this to the workbook and when the transaction happens again, it then writes the new transaction data to the next row within the same workbook transaction history
I have a userform which opens when the workbook opens. Ideally Id like to have the userform open without the workbook coming up and have the workbook close when you close the userform. If thats not doable then is there a way to just close the workbook when the userform is closed?
I have a sheet which I would like to back up online every time it is saved.
I have a sub, OnlineFile(), which I have used many times without any problems, which creates a .BAT file to use ftp to upload files onto our server. As arguments, it takes the local file path that you want to upload (or download to), the name of the file as you would like it stored, the online file path, and whether you want to upload the file onto the server, or download it off the server.
It should be very easy to combine the two: what I tried was:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, cancel As Boolean) ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & "Rubbish.xls" Call OnlineFile(ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & "Rubbish.xls", "Rubbish.xls", "wwwrootexcelfilesMasters", "Upload") Kill ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & "Rubbish.xls" End Sub
Every time I ran this, the file got uploaded correctly, but Excel had a series of problems. Often the code ran fine the first time it was run, but crashed the second time round.
After a fair bit of troubleshooting, I found that the problem came about when the file was trying to save itself - i.e. after the end of the sub. If you pause any macros from running, it still saved fine, but when the code ran, it found errors, froze or closed excel.
My thought at this point was that the code was fragmented or something. I made a new sheet, and retyped just the relevant bits of code (i.e. the BeforeSave sub, the OnlineFile sub and created the form called by OnlineFile). The problem persisted.
I've come up with a workaround for this now (which uses the same OnlineFile sub & form, and works fine), but it's driving me crazy - why does this cause excel to die? Particularly on the second time through? The code seems far too simple to cause such problems - is there a bug in Excel perhaps (I'm using Excel 2000 on Windows XP).
The code below works. Now I need that while it does the backup file in the same location, we also took into C: Backup_Contabilidade. Finally also put the date and time.
VB: Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) With Application .CommandBars("Cell").Reset End With
I have a spreadsheet on a server, password protected, and certain columns, rows locked...
This is shared with 6 others and can only be accessed one at a time.
If It so that when the user saves the spreadsheet it saves over itself on the server it's located AND on the individual users computer as backup; how would I go about doing this!?
Whenever I make a change to any of my spreadsheets and click save, a backup is created in the same folder. A sample document is attached. Download it, make a change, then save it.
I know how to create a backup file for an excel file (General Options Menu in Save As dialog box, we have to tick the "Always create backup" check box). When we tick this option the backup file is created in the same folder. Can we specify the path were this backup file can be stored and updated each time when we save the main file.
I have trouble with the last part of a backup script, this part checks in subdir and should delete the oldest file (of 4) but since a while back it instead delete the new file saved earlier in the script and I dont know how to fix it. Here is the ...
I have some data in sheet1 (as per attached sheet), every month i have to enter this data more than 1000 rows..i want a formula so that automatically this data should go to sheet2 and get a seperate report shape (as mentioned in sheet2) and also add a row below of each report in case ColumnA (Shipp) data is increased for some shipp name and also report heading shoudl be change according to columnA (shipp) and renumbering it.
