I placed the code below in the ThisWorkbook section of a Service Request macro. The intention was to block users of saving the input they had just entered into the blank template. However, some continue to do it, despite the code. Obviously it is not as tight as I expected.
Does anyone know a better, tighter method, short of killing the offending user (which I am tempted to do, believe me!)?
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim LoginName As String
LoginName = Environ("username")
If LoginName "chuckdrago" Then
If SaveAsUI = True Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Saving this form is not allowed! Print a Copy"
Else
ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Saving this form is not allowed! Print a Copy"
End If
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
End Sub
I am running code that updates several excel sheets from a database, but quite often other users on the network are already in the sheets, is there a way i can remove the users just before the macro saves the file? Or alternatively saves it to the new filename whether or not someone is in it?
I have macros that pulls data from an SQL db. Users need the ability to modify the data on the worksheets BUT they can NOT have the ability to save the document.
Is there a way to disable the "save" function from the FILE drop-down box?
I have a few excel files in a common shared folder. I want to allow other users to access this folder to make changes in the worksheet but should never allow them to delete the file. How can i do this?
The code that I'm using is supposedly not allow spreadsheet to be opened after a certain date, or does not allow a user to press any of the command buttons and comes up with a message saying the spreadsheet is closed for new entries.But is not working for me.
I have a sheet with 3 columns and I would like to have these 3 columns fit the screen so that an attractive user interface is created. I do not want to be able to scroll to blank area to the right of column C
I know nothing about Visual Basic and was trying to follow the following
Private Sub Worksheet_ Active () Me. ScrollArea = Range (Me. Used Range, Me. UsedRange (2.2) .Address End Sub
I am using Excel 2000 and I either kept getting error messages or after changing the visual basic sheet headings to worksheet and Active respectively ( two headers at top of page) the macro still failed to work.
Colo HTML does not seen to work in the visual basic window so I cannot show you the page.
I am looking at not allowing users to select the header and footer info. I don't want them to delete it. I have tried to protect the sheet and workbook but not working.
I am creating time sheet application , obviously i need to store the time when the user logs & logs out .. The issue is, the user can "Cheat" by changing the system time ...
Any alternatives?? Is it possible to store the time from a particular server etc or some other source.
Amongst the several sheets contained in my workbook, there is one called 'Inspection Report'. Users fill in whatever data is required in the other sheets, and once they get to this one, they are supposed to enter a number from 1 to 3 into Cell X1 (which is currently selected) before they select anything else. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to stop them from doing what they should not be doing.
So, I would like to have a notification of some sort pop up into their face if they click or move the selection anywhere else while Cell X1 is still empty. Something like a validation would be nice.
I have an excel worksheet which I would like to email to people however I want them to be able to view it i.e. so they can see the content of the worksheet but I do not want them to be able to copy and paste, save the file etc. etc. basically all I would like them to do is view it, if they want to copy and paste or actually save it to their computer they must enter a password.
I already have a macro that on opening the workbook checks to see if the workbook has been renamed outside excel in windows and if so closes the workbook. I need a macro to intercept the save as command and prevent the user from saving the workbook as another name. I would however still like the user to be able to save. I would also like them to be able to save the workbook in another directory but only with the same workbook name.
I have a fantasy baseball spreadsheet I've built. It includes player projections and people can input their league details. It then creates custom player cheatsheets for the user. There are a number of form options including buttons and drop-downs.
I've created this spreadsheet for a few years. For some unknown reason, since I finished version 2.0 of 2007 a few people have emailed me indicating they cannot see the form options. I still see them in my version of Excel. I definitely would have received more emails if this was impacting everyone, so it appears to only hit a few people. I asked about the version of Excel these people have, and that does not seem consistent. Plus, version 1.0 works for them. I only made some formula changes between 1.0 and 2.0.
Has anyone ever seen an issue like this before? Any idea why this might be happening?
The file download is available at the following address (download link on the right):

There are 2 spreadsheets in the download file. The Compiler is the one with the reported problem.
I have a template excel file that is loaded with macros. When the file is opened, a userform opens and the user makes several different selections. Based on the selections, the excel file is populated with information and pictures. I want to make sure that the user does not accidentally save over the template file when he/she is finished with the document.
My original solution was: when the user opened the excel file, it would automatically save under a different name in a temporary location. This would stop the user from being able to overwrite the source file. The users were not happy because the excel file is very large and takes a long time to save.
on another method to stop the user from overwriting the source file? using code? or another method?
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.
Is it possible to save information entered on a form to a named cell in a worksheet as opposed to in a range of adjacent cells? I am trying to use a form to populate a worksheet where the values stored will not be near one another.
I have a useform that loads up with two buttons and I waat to force the user to chose one of the buttons. However, I have noticed that the user can just press the cross in the top right corner of the form to close the window and therefore not press either button.
Is there anyway I can stop the close form button working?
when my userform opens, it automatically puts the cursor into the first text box (based on the tab order) of the userform. I also set this text box value to read "0" (zero) when it first opens.
My questions is, can I make the userform open up as it does now (above), but ALSO highlight the zero ("0") in the text box? The reason is so that when the user inputs a number into this box, it also overwrites the zero in the box at the same time (because the zero would already be highlighted)?
I would like to know the easiest way to temporarily keep a worksheet code from running while I am editing, then turn it back on when I am done. I was thinking a button with these commands(?)>
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.EnableEvents = True
but I don't know which button to use, or if I would need a button for each.
I have a user form that has a combo box "City" two text boxes one called "Flight" and the other "Date". What I'm trying to do is to prevent the user from saving the data input from the user form if any of those three fields is left blank. The code that I have so far checks all of the required fields, if any are left blank a message notifys which field(s) is left blank and return the focus back to that field. But the rest of code also fires.
What I really need is either to stop the code if any fields are blank and return the focus back to the blank field, the user completes the field(s) and clicks the save again, or better yet, pause the code until all the required fields are completed and then complete the save. (There is actually another 200+ lines of code in this sub, but I deleted it to keep the post a little shorter.)
my excel sheet runs through a lot of calculations, opens Flowmaster, a simulations program, passes on data, receivs data and so on. Is there any way to have a user input to stop the whole simulation. During the first tries I had a lot of break point in my debugger. But now I want to have a button to hit or better just some keys to hit to stop it without using the ctrl+alt+del which closes everything.
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.
I'm missing something in my UserForm initialization code. If I fill the form out once and click 'OK' (run the code to put the form data into a sheet), when I go back into the form all the old info is still there. If I then click 'Cancel' (Unload Me) and reopen the form, the old data is cleared out. What am I missing to make it clear it out the first time?
I'm having trouble trying to come up with a way to insert data fields into a spreadsheet form. I have a travel authorization form that I would like to have automatically fill in the required fields based on typing in a name. i.e. I would type in an employees name, and it would automatically fill-in the correct address, etc for that employee. I have attached a spreadsheet that contains one sheet as the form, and another sheet containing the employee data. I know nothing about VBA, but I have a feeling that is where I need to go.
I am needing to create a form that exports data (a quote) to an Excel Db (table) and is then able to recall the data back into the form. (the default form in excel does this and I want to copy that.)
Once the data is called back in, I can then export it to another Table to show that the quote has been approved and will be used.
I am having trouble with the VBA coding that copies the inputted quote in Cell C2 (the reference for the quote number) of the "Form" sheet and looks it up in the "Database" sheet. I have tried several variations of code, but nothing works so far.
-SS Sub RecallQuote() ' ' RecallQuote Macro ' Sheets("Form").Select Range("C2").Select 'this is the cell that holds the quote number to look up from the table
I have a spreadsheet I use to keep track of weekly sales patterns and use for estimating the amount of a product I would need to order taking into account what I would expect to sell in a given week and what stock I have at present. On the example I've attached, I show where I enter my storeroom count figures, which are organised by supplier and the position in which a particular product appears on the supplier's order form. I have a page which lists the orders by suppliers and which are used to place the orders by e-mail or telephone.
At present I have each supplier section of the order form directly linked to a cell on the storeroom count as per columns K to M on the attached file. However, this means that as products are de-listed by suppliers and extra products become available, I have to edit the formula in each cell as the products now appear in a different position on the storeroom count and may otherwise end up on the order form for a different supplier. I would like to set it up so that I just have to select the supplier name and the table below will automatically fill with the required info, in order of the position they appear on the supplier's form. I'm struggling to combine vlookup and hlookup. Is there a way to do it or do I need to rethink?
I'm trying to pull up a second form from a command button within a form. There's a command button in a sheet to open the first form (frmOrderInput.) Then there's another command button in that form to open the second form (frmPriceInput.)
I have got a userform that fits my 24inch monitor screen perfectly, however it doesn't fit other screens. How do I get windows style scrollbars added to the form so people can use these to see the whole form?
I have a Database and user form, in the user form i have a field named “Vehicle No” this is a combo box from which a user needs to select the Vehicle numbers, and all these are working fine now, I need your help in the following:
When user selects the second field named "Select Vendor name" i need a pop up window which shows all the Vehicles belongs to the vendor which they have selected, and with the popup window user selects the vehicle number then the Vehicle number combo box should be filled.
Currently users have to select by scrolling through Combo box which takes long time and difficult to find by scrolling.
