I have a file that shows a rolling screen and updates information every 30 mins. I want to be able to stop the screensaver from activating while this file is open.
I have found this code on the forum that does this, how do I call this function from another module? ...
Attached is an example of the program. The purpose of this program is to allow someone with very little knowledge about the information to enter data. The first tab labeled "Instructions" is will have two macros assigned to the buttons at the bottom of the page. The first macro labeled "Move Data" will move data will clear data in the shaded cell on the "Entry Form" sheet and fill those cells in with '----. The second macro labeled "Generate and Save" will save a master copy of the program, save a historical copy of the program by date, and print/save a pdf copy of the "Reports" sheet.
Each one of the historical (the last 8 sheets of the program) sheet receives data from the "Entry Form" and then moves the data by date into the table for archiving purposes.
If you look at the code for the "Entry Form". I have a couple of subs. The first being Worksheet_change. the first section of this code is to force certain cells to be uppercase. This part of the code is working fine. The second part of the code is the Dim MyValues. This part is working fine also, but...
My issue is... When I run the move data macro from the "Instructions" sheet the Dim MyValues reads these as changes to the cells and wants to push the data to the historical sheets.
What I would like is an IF Statement above the Dim MyValues part of this code that stops the Dim MyValue part of the code running if those values are blank, 0, or have '---- entered into them.

I have the following code to add dash mark to TextBox1 value depending on some condtions (mentioned in the code), the code works perfectly, but when we use Backspace Key to clear some charactors it is conflicting with the code running when changing Textbox1 value.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI've got a worksheet_selectionchange macro on a sheet, and another macro that you can run after it. The issue is that when the second macro runs, it also runs the selectionchange macro, and wipes some of the info that the second macro should be copying.
Is there a piece of code that I can use in the second macro to block the selectionchance code from running until it's compelte?
Is there any way I can activate a sub routine when the user passes the mouse cursor over an activeX object.
For example this activates code when the user interacts with an activeX scroll bar:
VB:
Private Sub ScrollBar2_gotfocus()
Dim A, B, C
If OLEObjects("checkbox1").Object.Value = False Then
B = Range("B4").Value
A = (100 - B) / 2
C = (100 - B) / 2
End If
IS there a "gotfocus" equivalent such that code will run if the user simply passes their mouse cursor over the scroll bar EVEN IF they dont click it?
I am trying to write a small bit of VBA code, so that I can record the row and column of the active cell. I have got it working when I CHANGE the value of the cell, but I need to get the code to fire off when I ENTER the cell.
The code section is below:-
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal target As Range)
'Store the row and column into G1 and G2 for the drop down loading
Call RowNum(target)
End Sub
[Code]....
how I can do this, as I cannot find reference to a Worksheet_Enter function ?
Hi, I am runnning this marquee label function in a userform (Dash). When I close the form, using 'unload frmDash' the function is still running in the background. Can someone give me a tip on how to end it at the same time as the form is closed?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet containing a macro to automatically sum values from week to week and display the max/min and average. This is almost fully working. The problem I have is the macro copies the sum formula down the page and doesn't stop at the last row. It always adds one or two extra rows. The formula should stop at row 77 however this does not happen and therefore the sum keeps going. Which in turn, distorts the max/min figures.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a large macro called SplitData, which takes a load of data and splits it and reformats it each month.
I have 4 Activex Control combo boxes on one sheet that are linked to a range...this range changes each month, so I blank out the range and then repopulate.
My problem is that when I blank out the range, it triggers the Private Sub ComboBox1_Change() and throws some errors because there is no data to select.
So, I was wondering if there is something I can set in my SpltData macro that will not run the ComboBox1_Change sub while the SplitData macro is running?
I have a vba function linked to conditional formatting that i want to temporarily stop while a sub to insert a line is running as the sub stops when it hits the sheet where the vba function operates. When i disable the vba function (or remove the vba function) the sub works fine, if the vba function is not disabled the sub stops.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy users log on with unique PIN numbers for example 1234. I have a worksheet that has approximately 10 different VBA codes. What I would like is the ability at the start of the code to say if the current users pin is not in a hidden range then exit the code. If not run it. Is this possible?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI wanted to run a macro at 08:00 each day. I tested the macro would auto start and run, and set the test to start at 13:00.
In the Private module of the Workbook I put
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application .OnTime TimeValue("08:00:00"), "MyMacro"
End Sub
and in a standard module
Sub TestTimeMacro()
Application.OnTime TimeValue("08:00:00"), "MyMacro"
End Sub
Initially I had the TimeValue set as 13:00:00. The test worked OK so I changed the timevalue to 08:00:00.
The macro now runs at 08:00 and 13:00.
How do I stop the 13:00 event?
I currently have a userform that runs a bunch of code for me. There are a lot of listboxes on the userform that have rowsources of various dynamic named ranges. I'm running into a problem when I have the used click the "Remove Item" button from the userform. Normally it is supposed to go back to the sourcerow and remove all of the cells that contain values that are selected in the listbox.
The code for removing the cells works just fine, however when it deletes a cell, for some reason the code executes a private sub that is in a different sheet. I can't figure out why and it's messing up my macro.
Here's the
FROM USERFORM:
Private Sub cmdAIRemove_Click()
For i = 0 To lbAISummary.ListCount - 1
If lbAISummary.Selected(i) = True Then
For Each cItem In Worksheets("Lists").Range("YourAI")
If lbAISummary.List(i) = cItem.Value Then
cItem.Delete (xlUp) '<- right after this line it jumps to NWSMonth_Change
i = i - 1
End If
Next cItem
End If
Next i
End sub...
How to stop macro while running SendKeys statement. I am not able to stop the process while running SendKeys statement. this is my Sendkeys VBA
For Each cell In Selection
SendKeys cell.Text, True
Next cell
I've created a macro that runs for about 3 seconds. While the macro runs, the active worksheet display jumps around because of the various cell references being addressed in the macro.
Is there a way to stop the jumping around? How can a simple "Progress" screen be displayed while the macro is running?
I have a couple of functions running in my workbook, and for no reason that I can see, when one of them runs during a simple macro I use to show/hide some columns, the worksheet vanishes. Is there a way to stop all functions running while I show/hide columns?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using a macro that automatically updates data obtained through a DDE link at 5 second intervals. My code is based off of the article "Automatically Run Macros at a Set Time or Date" found on the Ozgrid FAQs found here: http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/run-macro-on-time.htm
However, I have this macro execute when I activate a Form Button, not when the workbook opens. So far, this macro works perfectly, and I have no problems. Although, I'd also like to include a Form button to STOP the macro from automatically running if the user chose to do so. How exactly would I go about making this STOP button?
I'm opening a workbook and then running the macro in the workbook. The problem is I would like to build a "timeout" feature if the macro is running too long (as some of the macro's this will run can take days to complete) but I don't know how to run the macro asynchronously. Also I need to know if i can get it to run asynchronous is there an event that will tell me when the process is finished. The calling application of the macro is written in VB6 and opening excel workbooks to run the macros out of. also the "timeout" feature must be done from the VB6 application it cannot be edited into the the workbooks containing the macro.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a 'few' workbooks that I have added some code to which auto closes the workbook if it has been inactive for more than 60 minutes.
Problem seems to be is that this doesn't envoke if a screen saver is active, does anyone have any VB code to disable the screen saver until after the workbook has closed.
I am dealing with several very large spreadsheets using VBA to do various things. I found that my code worked well, but was taking a long time to run. The biggest time consumer was my use of the AutoFilter features. I have since turned calculations to manual before my code runs and set it back to auto when my code is done running. What are the potential consequences of my turning calculations to manual and then back to auto?

I use a code in ThisWorkbook to always open on sheet 1 when opening up the excel spreadsheet.Is there a code that I could put in to ThisWorkbook that would do a check that the workbook was e.g. "WorkbookA". If it wasn't then the start up code would be cancelled/ignored.The reason for this is that I am copying this workbook whenthe user has entered details in to it and so I do not want this code to run in the saved workbook, that will have a different name.
Workbook A is the master copy or template
I have the below code (pieced together and donated by other users on the forum)

I have written a code but i can not make it stop where i want it to stop. I would like the code stop when cells(31,4).value reaches 0. Pls refer to attached sheet for a clear example.
The code is as follows
Sub production2()
If Cells(35, 4).Value > 0 Then
Cells(31, 4).Value = Cells(35, 4).Value
For j = 5 To 16
If Cells(36, j).Value < Cells(29, 4).Value Then If Cells(31, 4).Value > Cells(29, 4).Value Then Cells(37, j).Value = Cells(29, 4).Value
If Cells(36, j).Value < Cells(29, 4).Value Then Cells(37, j).Value = Cells(29, 4).Value
Cells(31, 4).Value = Cells(31, 4).Value - Cells(37, j).Value
Next j
End If
End Sub
I enter 1 record using the form, the next records does not populated correctly. It looks like the code just keeps looping by ....
Trying to get my code to loop for one minute. Have tried this code (after searching through a few threads):
Sub LoopUsingTime()
x = 1
EndTime = Now + TimeValue("00:01:00")
For lCount = Now() To EndTime
Sheet1. Cells(x, 1) = "the time is now " & Now()
Sleep 5000
x = x + 1
Next lCount
MsgBox ("loop finished")
End Sub
This is bizarre - over the last year or so, on two machines (one Win98SE/Off2K, the other Win2KSP4/Off2K3), very occasionally a change I've made to Excel/VBA code has been ignored (eg to add a MSGBOX call) - even after I've restarted Excel. The workaround is to add a blank line and remove it again in the actual code module, but its both annoying and intriguing,

I have created a few macros and once I was happy that they worked independently I joined them to run as one macro in several steps. I have just discovered a bug ...
The macro filters on a column and copies and pastes that range into another sheet.
HOwever, sometimes (as I have just discovered) when it filters, there will be no data against the value it is looking for.
I need to say, if no value, move to next step.
I.e. here's my code. It's looking for ASIA and it will copy and paste all rows with Asia to another page. It then does the same for EMEA. Thing is, in my example just now, there was no EMEA data and some times there may be no ASIA data so I need to build in some rules that if it does not find either of these it continues to finish macro or pops up and says 'NO ASIA found, CLick to continue' or something?
Selection.AutoFilter
ActiveSheet.Range("$A$12:AA" & lngLast).AutoFilter Field:=27, Criteria1:="ASIA"
Range("A13:Z" & lngLast).Select
Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("ASIA DETAIL ").Select
Range("A19").Select

I have the following code that gets stuck in the Loop and will not stop unless I press the Esc key:
Sub WIP()
Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet
Dim lastrow As Long
Dim newRow As Long
Set ws1 = Sheets("PAYCALC")
Set ws2 = Sheets("WIP")
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ws2
.Range("A2:C" & .Range("A2:C2").End(xlDown).Row).Clear
End With
x = 10
lastrow = ws1.Range("C5").End(xlUp)
Do
newRow = ws2.Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
ws2.Cells(newRow, 1) = ws1.Cells(x, 2).Offset(-2, 0).Value
ws2.Cells(newRow, 2) = ws1.Cells(x, 2).Value
ws2.Cells(newRow, 3) = ws1.Cells(x, 2).Offset(3, 0).Value
x = x + 21
Loop Until x >= lastrow
There's a twist to this. I have the same identiclecode in a different module. The only difference is ws2 is different and there are 7 newRow's. Other then that the two are the same.
That one works just fine without getting stuck. It will go through 200+ sets of records and stop when it reaches the last one.
The one above will not stop even though I just put in three records on ws1 for testing.
