I try to save another workbook, say Book_B, inside a BeforeSave routine for say Workbook A. It works fine when triggered by the CommandBar for saving A, but skips the "Save" when triggered by saving A from another workbook, say Book_1. Is this my fault, or some inherent limitation in Excel, and if so:
Following is some simplified code to illustrate the situation:
This is the code for Book_A:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim fName As String
fName = "Book_C"
For Each w In Workbooks
If w. Name = "Book_B.xls" Then w.SaveAs Filename:=fName
Next w
End Sub
This is the code for Book_1:
Sub Book_A_saving()
For Each w In Workbooks
If w.Name = "Book_A.xls" Then w.Save
Next w
End Sub
The dialog box comes up with file name formatted correctly and shows .xls as file type but when you choose save the dialog box disappears as if the file was saved but the file never gets saved.
I have a form which has col A Surname Col D Post Code Col E The month (for example)
through a formular this gives the unic customer reference number surnamepostcodemonth given in col G but when I save the document I have to copy and paste the value in G1 for the file name is there away of pressing Save As and it auto fills the file name?
the actual value in the field G1 is ='Raw Data'!D2&" "&'Raw Data'!E2&" "&TEXT(('Raw Data'!F2),"MMMYY")&" "&'Raw Data'!G2 I obviously want the result "Smith TW6 Jul09" to be the file name when I save it..
if someone would review the code below and tell me why it does not cycle an autosave more than once. It is supposed to autosave automatically every five minutes but for some reason beyond me it does not. I did not author this but picked it up in a different forum.
Option Explicit Public vartimer As Variant Const TimeOut = 1 'set in minutes to whatever amount of time is desired Sub Timer() vartimer = Format(Now + TimeSerial(0, TimeOut, 0), "hh:mm:ss") If vartimer = "" Then Exit Sub Application .OnTime TimeValue(vartimer), "SaveOpenWorkbooks" End Sub
I want to be able to have the Save As dialog box come up, but with a File Name already chosen, so that the user can save it as this File Name in any location he/she wishes. I can get the Save As dialog box coming up with my code, but I don't know how to automatically enter the File Name
In my program I have prevented the user from saving the Workbook with the following code
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) Dim p As String Cancel = True Do While Cancel = True p = InputBox("Enter password to save file:", "Password Required To Save", "") If p = "Enter Password Here" Then Cancel = False Else yn = MsgBox("Wrong password. Try again?", vbYesNo, "Invalid Password") If yn = vbNo Then Exit Sub End If End If Loop End Sub
I also need to prevent the user, when they use the save as, from saving certain worksheets. Ex: There are 6 worksheets in the workbook. I only want them to be able to save the first three. Issues: One of the workbooks that I want to allow them to change has a tab name that changes frequently.
My company has files that are already in use. I don't know too many details about how they work, but somehow saving the file will screw it up and my boss has to go back and reset something or other to correct it. Obviously it's connected to some other software somewhere. The code below will block Save and Save-As. BUT how do I get the file to hold onto the code without actually saving the file after the code is added (since the file shouldn't be saved)?
VB: Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) If SaveAsUI = False Then Cancel = True
I have a spreadsheet that imports data, manipulates it then deletes 2 of the sheets then saves the file under a different name to the network. Is there any way to save this new worksheet without it storing the macros - so when the user open it, only the data is there and they get no prompt to enable macros?
I have created a form in a worksheet which I have added questions too and then locked all cells except the ones where I want the answers in.
I have then added a button to the bottom of the sheet called "Print and Save". This work sheet is called "form"
On a second sheet called "database", I have all the titles of the questions running from a -> k and nother else.
What I want to happen is the user input the information on "form" into the boxes available. Once they have completed the questions, I want them to be able to click on "Print and Save" so that firstly the page "form" prints, and then for all of the answers to be saved in "database" below the titles for each question.
I have had a play, but just don't know where to start. Also, once there is a row of questions below the titles, I don't want it to overwrite information already there, it needs to go onto the next empty row available.
Attached is my excel file.
You will see in the code that I have the code for printing.. I just found this on the net and it seems to work fine for me.
am using Excel 2010 and having issues trying to save a worksheet to a specified file location with the save date....
I have tried several posts form this forum and elsewhere and can't seem to get the macro to do what I want.....
I want to save a 'worksheet' from an open workbook that I use for updating information to the same file path as the workbook with the date the file saved...
I have an expense report, which was originally done in Excel 2003. It still prompts users to open as read only however if they select no, they are not prompted for the password, and it has allowed them to save, so when the next person opens it, they have the previous person's report instead of the clean workbook. I have tried everything to put a password onto it. I know this is really basic stuff, but maybe I am missing a step? I want the end user to be able to make all the changes they want in read only mode and then do a save as, but if the select No when prompted "Open as Read-only?" they should have to put a password in.
What I am trying to do is that I have an excel file with macros and it is a read-only file. In order for the user to save, I want them to only be able to save as a .xlsx file as it disables all macros. If for whatever reason, the user wants to save the file as another .xlsm file, they should be allowed but before they save, a "are you sure you want to save as .xlsm?" message should pop up.
All the options in the save as box should still be available in case they want to save in that particular format. Just that the .xlsx should be the default.
I'm trying to make a macro check if a file has been saved (ever). If so I want the macro to do a regular save (with already esatablished filename and location) before it proceeds with the rest of the macro. If the file hasnt been saved (if it runs from a new workbook) then I want it to pop up the save.as dialog, so that the user can choose the name and location of the file before the macro continues .
I would like to add some icons on the left side of excel open file pane to faciliate my work. Because i need to load some files under the same folder many times a day. Does anybody know how to do that? I've seen people has more icons on the pane before. The defaut setting has only 'History', 'My Documents', 'Favorites', 'Desktop' and ' My nutwork places' on it.
I have a UserForm in which i have inserted a CommandButton. I also have a Table on a Sheet in Excel that i would like to save as PDF.
When i click the CommandButton on the UserForm i would like the SaveAs screen to come up and have the Table (or Used Range in the Excel Sheet) as the selection to be Saved as .PDF format.
Each of the worksheets in my model use A1 as a control cell for any errors and inconsistencies. My aim is to disable save and close commands in case A1 is not equal to 0 in any of the worksheets.
The code I currently use for that purpose is as follows.
I have figured out how to save the workbook using a variable to saveas but I would like to create a new folder to place the new workbook into. I have tried a few things a am not having any luck. I recorded a macro and the code it produced is as follows.
I have a macro that copy one sheet of the Active workbook and sends it via email.
I need to add a code in this sheet so when one opens it from the email, with a command button to be able to save the file to specific, fixed folder on the local network with it’s original file name.
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).
I am trying to disable the save and save as function using a macro, i know that this in its self is quite simple but i am making VBA create a new workbook and i want this (nameless) workbook to have the save feature disabled.
when i try to save data in other sheet. it is save but, if middle name is null in last record. then after i save other record the data is not save in same row.
i also want "sr.no" come automatically form data..
for.ex.
if in sheet2 last "sr.no" is "7" then it automatically display "sr.no" "8" in sheet1
I have a spreadsheet with 32 worksheet, I want to write a macro to "save the work, save as.. in a specific location and with a specific name and then reseting all data in specific cells.
I need my spreadsheet to require that the user save it by clicking a macro button, and not the Save or SaveAs options in the file menu. I have found out how to disable saving entirely:
Code: Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) Cancel = True If SaveAsUI Then SaveAsUI = False End Sub
But this of course prevents my macro button from saving too!
Is there any way to allow VBA code to save the spreadsheet while simultaneously preventing the user from saving through the menu?
I have written the following simple macro to import some data into a worksheet and then prompt the user to save the file in Excel 2003 format (the system to which we will upload this data does not accept formats later than 2003). The template is in "*.xlsm" format.
The code executes without error, but when the user hits the "Save" button in the "Save As" dialog box, nothing happens. The "Save As" box closes, but no file is saved.
Code: Private Sub cmdImportData_Click() Dim sFName As String 'On Error Resume Next PrepData CopyData FormatColumns 'prompt the user to save the file in "*.xls" format sFName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("upload", "Excel files (*.xls), *.xls") End Sub
I have a file that I have created that the users will use as a master template to create data that I need. Once they have finished, I want the file to define what the filename should be when they click save.
At the same time, I want to disable "Save As..." as some users will just use that and then will use a file name that another macro (that I will use) won't recognise.
i have a master workbook. it gets used daily as a template and saved as another file name. the file name is generated by 5 cells that each contain different data (date, street, town, state). is it possible when i hit the save or save as button/icon, for a file name to be automatically generated from the cells i have data in??
PostPosted: Wed Oct 15, 2003 5:12 pm Post subject: Re: change default saveas name for new file w/o saving Okay, so you want to create a workbook via code, prompt the user for a SaveAs name, then save this workbook?

I have a update/Save button on a spreadsheet. So when clicked it updates another sheet and saves the workbook. how can i have it run the macro when they don't click the button and do File -> Save.
I use to send reports to my seniors on daily basis. I want these reports to be with me and they can just open and check the reports, when I send them. If they try to save file through File-Save or File-Save As, they should not get these options at all in the File Menu.
My spreadsheet has 32 worksheets, I've recorded a macro to do the job "save, save as with specific name", but what I want is, when save as, I wanted the file name increase in one number, and the date in a specific range "H8:J8" the date should be the next saturday.
