Everytime I open a Shared Workbook my OPTIONS get changed and my excel tasks in my start bar and consolidated. Is there a way to prevent that?
As of now I have to keep going through Tools>Options>Show Windows in Taskbar
Macro's aren't allowed in shared workbooks - so what are other options? I would want the same for anyone who opens the file, so a local fix on my machine won't be enough.
I have 3 worksheets in a workbook. How can I have the view go to A2 and View that on each worksheet? I do a Range("A2").Select But, it still shows the window on another column - row.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have autofilter enabled on the header row across the top of my worksheet. Is there a quick line of VBA I can use to toggle EACH one to (ALL). This would act as a "Reset" in my spreadsheet and display all content. I had a solution that worked, until I made the workbook shared / password protected.

I have an Excel workbook which is networked throughout our business. Its been in daily use for years with no problems. Every month I add a new sheet and to do that I untick the "allow changes by more than one user...etc". However this month the tick is greyed out and wont let me clear it. The pc's run windows XP professional with Excel 2003.

What I like to do is on a userform set up a "frameoptions" with two option buttons and depanding on what option I click either frame A shows or frame B shows.
When I click on "option" one it shows "frame 1" and if I click on "option two" it should show "frame two". both frames I would like to have on the exact same location of the userform. So the look of the userform stays the same.
Is there a solution to this?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHow do I get a shared workbook to automatically save upon every change by each user. The only way I can get this to work (at this point) is to run a macro that updates every 45 seconds IN EACH WORKBOOK! It's counterintuitive because the workbook is shared (on a network), but each user must start the "time" macro in their "individual" SHARED workbook to allow the automatic saving.
What am I missing? There has to be a more efficient way to do this, right?
Code below
HTML Sub Time()
Call Save
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:45"), "Time"
End Sub
HTML Sub Save()
ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub
I have a workbook that i am trying to make a shared workbook.
Shared workbooks have all kinds of functionality limitations. The one specifically giving me problems is the ability to protect workbooks.
Once a workbook is shared it's protection cannot be changed.
I protect a workbook prior to sharing and set the UserInterfaceOnly property = true (this allows my code to do whatever it wants but still maintains protection in the user interface).
Once i share and excel makes me save, everything works super and all the code in my auto_open macro works perfectly. But as soon as i close and open the file it seems that the UserInterfaceOnly property i set to true turns off and my code stops working.
Because it's a shared workbook i cannot turn it back on in the auto_open because that functionality is disabled.
We have a worksheet, which contains charts and data which requires updating by different department.
However, when I have this work- book as a Shared workbook (Tools - share workbook), The charting and macro has all been deactivated.
Would anyone have any idea on how do I share a workbook - while being able to also update the Excel Charts within it ?
(Different user will be updating different charts, and there will be no conflict in between them)
HTML Code:
Private Sub SaveAsAndShare()
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
"S:LdnPath1Path2Path32012Folder1Folder 2Aug12ReportName " & Format(Date, "MM-DD") & ".xlsx", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook, CreateBackup:=False
End Sub
HTML Code:
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName, , , , , , xlShared
My code is the first bit, the 2nd code I found from another post, I want to add xlshared to my code above so it is shared when saved down.
I have 7 different listboxes, laying on top of eachother. When I select OptionButton1 I would like to see ListBox1.
This works fine the first time I push the radiobuttons. But I can't go back again..
This is my codes for the optionbuttons;
Code:
Private Sub OptionButton1_Click()
If OptionButton1.Enabled = True Then
ListBox1.Visible = True

View 3 Replies View Related1. I have a shared and protected workboook that about 15 people update. For some reason, when people open it they can't always scroll. Anyone know why this happens and how to fix?
2. Is there a setting so that whoever opens the workbook will see the same view (instead of whatever view the last person saved the file in)?
Is there a way to setup personal views of a shared workbook ? For eg : I might hide columns f to j and the other person might have to hide columns h to m. Also, one person might be using ver 2003 and other person using 2010.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOur main spreadsheet in the office is a shared filed which is accessed by 3 pc's.
We have been using this set-up for nearly 3 years and no problems until this last week. Now, over the past week, this message pops up when we try to save the file on the PC's not hosting the file.
"Excel was unable to save the workbook because there was a problem reading or applying part of the revision history. You can unshare the work book or save to a non shared workbook format to fix the problem"
I have shared/unshared/reshared and shared again but a week later, I still keep getting this message popping up. Any ideas?
One thing I have noticed is that we have set it in the advanced tab of the share workbook options not to keep revision history, but sometimes it also shows 'keep history for 30 days'.
i have a workbook with picture and that workbook in share mode.
i have to move picture in share mode.
I have a shared workbook is it at all possible to leave the cells unprotected so a user can enter data but prevent cells from being formated
for instance someone on night shift with nothing better to do has decided that black text on a white background is boring and changes it frequently to a rainbow of colors. and text types
it is making a well laid out and good sheet look like something a child has done
I would pursue this down a discipline line but it has proved impossible to nail down the culprit from the many users
My macros don't work when the workbook is shared. They are not stored in my personal workbook and so are available to all users. What's going on?
View 3 Replies View RelatedUsing Excel 2000, I have a shared workbook which is effectively a single sheet, flat database. Rows contain dates, and when certain dates occur, I want to send an email alert to specific users. I have searched and found lots of guidance on that aspect, but am wondering how best to trigger the email alert. At least one, and up to 10 users access the shared workbook at different times of day, and I only want to review the data and send the email alerts to the relevant users once per day.
I thought about a timed event, but cannot be sure the shared workbook will be open. I wondered whether an event in Personal.xls might do it, if I ensure I open Excel every day, but it's not ideal. Finally, I wondered if I could somehow trigger the alerts when the first user opens the workbook - but can't find how to capture that.
Can you use or apply advanced filters in a shared workbook?
I have a workbook project where I am dynamically applying advanced filters through VBA.
The intention is to share the workbook at some point for data entry among a group of people. I did not see advanced filtering listed in Excel Help as one of the features that are not available, but I did note that if I try to apply one through the menu bar it is greyed out in a shared workbook (autofilter is still available).
SETUP: I have a shared workbook that is accessed by many people. It is designed to control the flow of work during the monthly close process. These processes are controlled by macros. There are 40 sheets in this workbook.
PROBLEM: On of my location's workbooks frequently loses half of it's sheets in the workbook. Counted in the neighborhood of 14 to 19 sheets go missing.
EFFORTS: I have attempted to Delete, Cut, Move, etc... these sheets with no success.
Only when I put the file in an exclusive state can I manipulate the sheets.
I have a workbook which I need to give shared access.
The workbook has macros which make sheets visible and VeryHidden and also give certain sheets protection. Also a filter runs on one sheet.
When I give the workbook shared access, the macros error?
how I can give me workbook shared access but still allow the macros to hide/unhide sheets, filter and protect worksheets?
Split from Macro To Insert Rows In Protected Worksheet. I have found this code wgich appears to be very close to what i want. Just to re-iterate -
A) i want to detect if any other user has the shared book open, if yes-display msg and exit - it seems to do this by just adding an appropriate msg box
B) if no - open it and lock other users out by temporarily remving share or allowing them in but as read only - not sure if it does that.
Also not sure if it works for a shared file - cannot test as i do not have access to shared network from location.
Function IsFileOpened(StrFilePath As String) As Integer
Dim FileNum As Integer
'First check filepath exists
If Len(Dir(StrFilePath)) > 0 Then
FileNum = FreeFile()
On Error Resume Next
Open StrFilePath For Input Lock Read As #FileNum ' Open file and lock it.
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
IsFileOpened = 1 'File open
Else
IsFileOpened = 0 'File Closed
End If
Close FileNum
Else
IsFileOpened = 2 'File not found
End If
End Function
I've designed a performance indicator (PI) recorder for up to 12 users, it has a userform allowing the users to input their data and a button to save the data and unload the user form. the data is saved using the following
Dim NextRow As Integer
On Error Resume Next 'skips line if workbook is not open
ActiveWorkbook. Sheets("DATA").Activate 'sets the "data" worksheets as active
NextRow = Worksheets("DATA"). Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row + 1 ' finds the next empty row
With Worksheets("DATA").Range("A" & NextRow) 'inserts the data from the user form
there follows a series of offsets to slot the data into the correct column,
then this code to save the workbook
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("reports").Activate
Application.DisplayAlerts = False ' suppress overwrite warning message
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "MY PATH"
CreateBackup=False
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
MsgBox "Spread sheet Saved"
The problem I'm having is that when the user then closes the excel application there is a conflict between the users 'saves' i.e. one ultimately will overwrite the other. is there a way round this ?? (this is in EXCEL 2000)
If I have a dropdown with
A (value 1)
B (value 2)
C (value 3)
D (value 4)
and a person selects one of those letters in the dropdown in column 1, I would like column 2 to show the number value associated with it
When I protect my worksheet the option buttons, on occasion, give the error message "The cell or chart that you are trying to change is protected and therefore read only. To modify a protected cell or chart, first remove protection using the Unprotect sheet command. You may be prompted for a password." Sometimes I click on an option button and this error pops up and other times i can click the same button and no error occurs.
