I have a spreadsheet that has hyperlinks in it and is mostly protected to prevent changes. Is there a way to prevent the "save changes" dialog box from appearing when this file is closed as I have to make this file available to others and don't want them to get this message or make save any changes.

I am trying to figure out a way to use an InputBox to popup and ask the user where all the new workbooks will be saved at. Thus, avoiding the need to change the code each time you want the new workbooks saved in a different folder .....
I have an excel spreadsheet that when opened and closed prompts to save changes, even when no changes have been made.
The spreadsheet is a copy of another spreadsheet which has then been modified. The original spreadsheet doesn't have this quirk.
There are no 'links' in the spreadsheets. Which was my first thought.
I'd like a macro that will:
Save my workbook
Then
Open the SaveAs box with the path already pointing to a specific directory and with the Name and file format already entered (.xls)
This is basically to save time navigating through our folder structure (which is a real mess). I don't want to automatically saveas the file as the target folder will change each month and the last part of the file name will chance (month). So I'd like a bit of flexibility rather than total automation.
Is there a code I can use, through a private command button, that will exit the Excel program (not just the current workbook) without asking to save?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow to save a file onto the computer using VBA. The code template below that I found on another forum seems promising, except when I go to the desktop to access it, the .csv file has what looks like the page's source code instead of the actual file I want. This may be because when I go to the url, it doesn't automatically download the file; rather, I am asked to save the file to a certain location (since I don't know the path name of the uploaded file on the site).
Is there any way to alter this code to accommodate this, or will I have to use a different code entirely?

For a sheet that many non-expert users will use on different systems I need a macro that let's them save, print and send the results of their work. So I made a macro that makes a copy of only 1 sheet of the workbook and saves it with a given name to a given location. The problem is that I want a location prompt to ask the user where they want the file saved, while giving/suggesting them a fixed filename. A lot of different users will make and use their sheets so I need a certain naming policy to manage all the files. (date, location, etc)

I have a an Excel workbook (wb1) with 4 worksheets.
I also have a personal.xls that contains 4 worksheets.
wb1 has volatile functions.
I have calenders, dropdown lists, read from a file that is closed, etc..
When I open wb1, look at it (I do not make any changes by hand) then close it, it gives me the " Do you want to save?" prompt.
I have tried numerous codes to stop it and I can not get it.
I need it to give me the prompt if I have made a change and not give me the prompt if it is just a change from the volatile functions.
I cannot just tell it to save in the background because my boss does not want the date changed if it is just looked at.
The user opens numerous files when searching for a file that is almost what he needs, then he saves it with a new name and goes from there. Or he just opens numerous files to get ideas on how to make the new file.
The user cannot have to do anything to make it work.
I know that the code will need to be copied to any existing workbooks. I have the code to do that.
That would be done as the files are created to new ones. Also when he is starting from scratch the code would be in the template he uses. Eventually all of the files would be converted
Private Sub workbook_Open( )
Me.Saved = True
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
End Sub

I have a sheet that highlight cells to show that they need to still be filled out if another cell in the same row has a number in it. What happens is that when you put the number in the row the cells won't become shaded or partially shade until the workbook is saved.. Maybe I can put some code in that tells the work book to update whenever a cell is changed?

Is that feasable?

I've not used Input Box function before. When a user opens my workbook I want to check whether a named range ("Name") is blank and, if it is, to prompt the user to type their name in an Input Box which then returns that value to the named range. This is what I have tried but I don't think I am referring to the named range correctly,
Dim strName
If IsNull("Name") Then
strName = InputBox("Please enter your name", "Name Required", "1")
Range("Name") = strName
End If
I have created an addin that runs several macros. To enable the user to undo any changes, I keep a backup prior to them using any of the macros in the form of a worksheet named back00xx. I want a prompt to be displayed to the user to remove these backups at the closing or saving of the file. The problem is that as an addin, how do I get it to display this prompt as the open workbook is not part of the addin.
Could one have a looping routine that is checking every xx min/sec to check if the current workbook contains any sheets starting back00

I run a macro to open multiple workbooks and run a macro within those workbooks. All worked fine until a message/input box was included in the individual workbook macros [that I cannot change] to notify the single workbook user when the macro had successfully completed and prompts for an “ok” input.
Can I get my macro to ignore this prompt and not wait for an input – I am currently clicking “ok” everytime it comes up on screen. Have searched help and forum but nothing jumps out.
