Toggle Between Two Excel Applications
Apr 8, 2013
I have a macro that cycles every 5 minutes. I have tried everything I can to get this program to run while I modify a sheet in the workbook to no avail. I have however figured out that if I open up a separate excel application that my macro can continuously run without preventing me from modifying the other application. Now I need to figure out a way toggle between the two excel application windows if a condition is met. The basis of this is to allow production associates to create a schedule and modify it while a macro looks into the defect database and if a defect becomes too problematic, the macro interrupts the schedule to display the issue.

If the admins or you would like to change or recommend a change, I am trying to figure out what the code would look like for cells B22:B28. I need it to count the number of occurrences of the part number in A4:A17 and then combine the applications from the corresponding cells in column F (F4:F170 into a single cell (B22:B28).
On sheet 2 I would manually copy/paste the list of part #s from sheet 1 and remove duplicates. The add the formula that I can't figure out into column 2.

I am running Excel 2010 using a very basic macro in a form with randomly placed merged cells. Every time I use the macro it toggles the NumLock key on or off.
Below is the code:
Sub sendkey_F2pasteTAB()Application.SendKeys "{F2}"Application.SendKeys "^v"Application.SendKeys "{TAB}"End Sub

I am trying to make an excel toggle button and am stumped. I am trying to create a toggle button that hides the entire row if it finds a 0 in a preset range that I am calling "Alpha". I have tried this code but it's not working.

Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
If ToggleButton1.Value = True Then
For Each cell In Range("Alpha")

Is there any way you can use VBA to assign a key to toggle between two different cell formats? I want to toggle a cell from white border with black text to black border with white text and visa versa, with the same key or button. I've searched the posts but can't find this mentioned.

I am trying to run multiple applications. I can run one application i.e.
Application.Run (Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A8").Value) but not multiple i.e Application.Run (Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A8").Value) & Application.Run (Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A9").Value) at the same time.
I have also tried Application.Run (Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A8:A9").Value) but to no avail.

A VBA macro uses the Shell command to open several DOS command boxes. Each DOS command box is copying a file from one location to another. Since I am copying the files over a network, it is most efficient to copy the files in parallel (simultaneously) rather than sequentially. I would like to pause the program until all of the files are copied, i.e., until all of the DOS command boxes have closed. Is there a way to pause the program until all command boxes are complete?

I am using MS Word to create a list to go into Excel, it seems advantageous to do it this way because I'm using the Heading Outline Numbering feature of Word.
Presently my macro assumes the word document is closed. How do I modify the macro to:
1. check if the file is open?
2. if already open, switch the focus to word?
3. switch the focus back to excel?
Sub GetDataFromWordDoc()
Dim FileToOpen As String
FileToOpen = ThisWorkbook.Path & "5Whys.doc"
Sheets("Data1").Select
' MsgBox "Active sheet is " & ActiveSheet. Name ' My check
ActiveSheet.Range("WordClear").Select ' Existing data to remove
Selection.Clear
Set appWD = CreateObject("Word.Application")
' here I would like to check if the word file is open
appWD.Documents.Open Filename:=FileToOpen '
appWD.Visible = True
appWD.Selection.WholeStory
appWD.Selection.Copy
Range("WTarget").Select ' Single cell range to start paste
ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:="Text", Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:= _
False
'Range("D3").Select
'ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
Sheets("5_Why_O").Select
' At this point word in the fore, excel in the back,
End Sub

so i'm building an application that'll allow users to manipulate records in Excel with just a GUI, using Userforms, Modules and Class Modules. it's all working but i'm feeling like i skipped a little on structuring it properly.
for example (from my Java work in college), you'd call just one object from the main method, which would create a GUI object, and create/manipulate instances of the different Classes when buttons are pushed. basically you one object whose main created other objects, who ran procedures, etc. what i'm hoping for is to make it as modular and easy to maintain as possible. would anyone have a good resource for optimising a medium-sized application? (the tips Excel/VBA Golden Rules. These Should NOT Be Optional were very good, by the way.)

I'm using a VBA UserForm (ShowModal=False) as the front-end on a spreadsheet for logging purposes. Here's the progression of the problem:
1. I have the UserForm loaded and the cursor is in any given textbox/ combobox on the form.
2. I switch to another program, then come back to the UserForm.
3. The cursor no longer appears in whatever textbox/combobox I was in when I left the UserForm. If I type, nothing happens (I have to click the field again first, then type).
However, if I TAB, it will go to the next field in the Tab Order just fine. It seems that the control has "pseudo-focus"--it knows which field to tab to next, but the control won't accept input unless you click it. The odd thing is--this UserForm has a button which launches another "child" UserForm. That "child" UserForm does not have this problem.

The VBA shell command is as follows:
programPath = "C:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe" ' works
'programPath = "iexplore.exe" ' does not work
Shell programPath + " " + fileToLaunch, vbNormalFocus
but the drawback is that the invoked program (iexplore.exe, at least in my case) needs to have the FULL PATH to where the program exists = the "C:Program FilesInternet Explorer" which may or may not work on someone elses computer. This hardcoding will not work and is not transportable.
Is there a trick to find where the executing program lives? or launching it without the path?

I am working on a sheet in Excel 2007 and am having trouble with Excel toggling with a checkbox. What I want is for a cell to have "A" in it if the box is checked and a "B" if it isn't. The code I have is:
Sub CheckBox6_Click()
If CheckBox6 = True Then
Range("B20") = "A"
Else
Range("B20") = "B"
End If

Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target = "" Then Exit Sub
If Target.Address "$B$9" Then Exit Sub
Sh.Name = Right(Sh.Range("B9"), 4)
End Sub
Problem is i still have to toggle it in the formula bar before it changes. I have this formula ='Class List'!B10 in B10 which is feeding from another worksheet called Class List.

Is there a way to keep the drop-box on a combobox from showing at all? I am trying to build one that has several different values that will just cycle through when clicked.
Here a bit of code I am using so far, just as an example:
Private Sub ComboBox1_DropButt*******()
If Range("F7").Value = "Yes" Then
Me.ComboBox1.Value = "No"
Else
Me.ComboBox1.Value = "Yes"
End If
End Sub

Attempting to toggle autofilter (if on - then off, if off - then on). Found this here at Ozgrid, apologies lost the thread and author
Sub CheckForAutoFilters2()
With ActiveSheet
If .AutoFilterMode = True And .FilterMode = True Then
.AutoFilterMode = False And .FilterMode = False
Else
.AutoFilterMode = True And .FilterMode = True
End If
End With
End Sub
I added the Else... piece. The code does turn autofilter off - if on. But not on - if off. (Hard to read) ObjectiveAdd drop down arrows to header row if autofilter off. That's it all data to reamin visible until user (me) takes some action.Show all data, remove drop down arrows if autofilter onThanks

I'm looking for a way to have mutually exclusive toggle buttons (i.e. only one can be selected at a time) embedded in a worksheet. It is possible with radio buttons but they won't serve my needs.

Is there a way to get a sound toggle button on excel?
What I need is a button to turn the sound alerts on and off on my spreadsheet. Ideally I'd like a button that either changed an image to the speaker image when on and the speaker image with line through it when off. Is that possible?
If not, is it possible to have a button that just says: "Sound:ON" or "Sound:OFF"?
I guess it could be done with tick boxes, or drop down options.

I wanted to know how do I keep a toggle button in the on(ture) position after I close the userform? How do I keep the toggle button off(false) positoin after I close the userform? In order words, once I run my macro again, I want it to remain in memory that my toggle button was in the on(true) or off(false)?
For example,I have an application that I am developing which involves some what-if analysis for some projects. There is a command button located on my worksheet. After the command button is clicked, I have include some toggle buttons on a userform for all of the various projects. If I assume that sine projects will not be used, I click the associated toggle buttons. This puts them in the on(true) position. After I close the userform and reclick the command button, my toggle buttons are all back in the off(false) position.

it's possible to use this macro code in a toggle to perform this action when it's true and when the toggle is click again it can undo it.
This macro does lookups and finds the max on sets of value when it is run and i was wondering if by clicking the button again it can undo what it placed in the cells.

This code toggles between a blank cell and an "a" each time the user selects V81.
Code:
If Target.Address = "$V$81" Then
If Target.Value = "" Then
ActiveCell.Value = "a"
Else
ActiveCell.Value = ""
End If
End If
I'd like to expand it so this toggle works not only on V81, but also on V89, V100:105, and V120:124.

I am having a small issue with my toggle buttons.
I have approximately 20 sheets that all have 4 toggle buttons on them. Coded as below (with different ranges for each button). So when I wrote them I took the easy (for me anyway) way and copied all the code for all the buttons in each sheet. (Buttons are named Zoom1, Zoom2 etc.)
Private Sub Zoom1_Click()
If Zoom1.Value = True Then
ActiveWindow.Zoom = 143
Range("A1").Select
ActiveWindow.LargeScroll ToRight:=-10, Down:=-10
Else
ActiveWindow.Zoom = 75
ActiveWindow.LargeScroll ToRight:=-10, Down:=-10
End If
End Sub.........
