Track Changes In Workbook By User Name
Jun 27, 2008
I am unable to add which user made the change to the specific cell. The code used is:
Dim vOldVal 'Must be at top of module
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim bBold As Boolean
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
With Application
. ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
If IsEmpty(vOldVal) Then vOldVal = "Empty Cell"
bBold = Target.HasFormula
With Sheet1
. Unprotect Password:="Secret"
If .Range("A1") = vbNullString Then
.Range("A1:E1") = Array("CELL CHANGED", "OLD VALUE", _
"NEW VALUE", "TIME OF CHANGE", " DATE OF CHANGE")
End If..................................................

The module that you wrote on tracking changes made in a workbook was fabulous I had been looking for so long for that. I was just wondering if there was a way to find out WHO made the changes to the workbook. I am on a network and everyone in my office can make changes to this particular workbook, therefore there are some mistakes. I would like to know who is making the mistakes.
Dim vOldVal 'Must be at top of module
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Dim bBold As Boolean
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next
With Application
. ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
End With
If IsEmpty(vOldVal) Then vOldVal = "Empty Cell"
bBold = Target.HasFormula
With Sheet1.............................

I'm trying to see if the same numbers exists in two different spreasheets on the same workbook. Both "asset tags" columns are sorted ascending. If the number appears on both table I would like my formula to add a "Y" (for yes) on the proper cell. Not sure if I should use Vlookup, sumproduct or sumif formula. Here is the main table where I want that "Y" to appear in Column D .....

when i put a file across a network, it should be shared among all the users, but it appears as read only file and the option of track changes in the tools function is disabled. However, when i open an excel file in a stand alone pc, and use the track changes option, i get the file as (shared) as the header. what is the significane or meaning of this word "shared" in a stand alone pc?

My team and I are attempting to track how much time we are spending in each Excel workbook we create (all workbooks are created from a single template). The problem is that we are often jumping back and forth between different workbooks throughout the day so manual entry methods are neither accurate or practical. Is there a way, with macros or formulas, to embed a time tracker in the template workbook that would only record active (when workbook is selected) time in the workbook?

Trying to determine who has a file open, the code below works for simple files. However if the workbook contains macros and user forms it seems there are multiple occurances of the search terms strFlag1, strFlag2. How can I determine the last user
Function LastUser(path As String)
Dim text As String
Dim strFlag1 As String, strflag2 As String
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer
strFlag1 = Chr(0) & Chr(0)
strflag2 = Chr(32) & Chr(32)
Open path For Binary As #1
text = Space(LOF(1))
Get 1, , text
Close #1
j = InStr(1, text, strflag2)
i = InStrRev(text, strFlag1, j) + Len(strFlag1)
LastUser = Mid(text, i, j - i)
End Function
Above code taken from Determine Last User

How can I prevent a user from opening another workbook in an Excel session "from the outside"?
I'm fairly new to VB. I'm developing (in VB 2003) a simple but SECURE Excel environment which will allow a user to update a hidden Master_Records workbook. I need to keep the user's Excel session secure...for example, I've disabled all Excel Toolbars and Command Buttons, effectively preventing the user from doing anything except filling in some cell values and clicking on a few custom buttons in the worksheet. But how can I prevent the user from opening another workbook into the active session from his desktop and introducing some malicious code into the session via that route?
One respondent in another forum (the only one, in fact) suggested that I look into "instantiating workbook level events" so that I can detect when other workbooks are open. I'm not sure what that means, is there someone here who could give me some guidance into that solution?

Need a way of quickly telling whther a user as a workbook open without trying to open the workbook yourself? I have many individual workbooks which I need to regularly update, before I can update them I have to check whether anybody else has them open and then wait until they are out before I can do the update.

if it is possible to prevent a workbook from being saved other than by a macro (So no saves on Ctrl + S or File Saves). Basically, I want to allow users to use a template that I have set up, but I do not want to allow them to be able to save the document.

Using 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.

I have a program in Excel with VBA code. The VBA code is all under password protection.
Is it possible for Excel to carry a virus or worm or whatever to another user?
If it can, how does a virus get into the Workbook?
If it can, how do I protect the program from carrying a virus?

I am using this code to copy columns C,D, and P from a user selected workbook into position C,D,E of workbook "Checklist.xlsx" (the one from were I run the VBA code). I don't have a clue about VBA, just have been gathering info, but the code works pretty fine. The only issue is that it opens twice the workbook "wbExt" hence the system prompts me if i want to reopen the already open workbook.
Some questions:
1) Is there a way to copy the 3 columns at once? something like "Columns("C:D, P").Select".
2) Is there a way to select the workbook from were to copy the column without needing it to actually open?
3) is there a way to paste the columns starting from row 3 instead of row 1 (Range("C1").Select)?

I've been tasked at work to make an excel file to do more than what I think I can figure out on my own. What I need done is this:
1. Every Monday, check excel file for data
2. If data exists, send email with said data
Here's my issues:
How do I get the workbook to open while logged off the computer? The file is stored on a share network drive, not locally. How do I get it to send an email without someone logged on to click "send"?
I tried using windows scheduler, but I don't have sufficient privileges to run as batch (IT restrictions).

I have a worksheet that contains about six different tabs. When this form is completed some users might want to have certain tabs copied into a different workbook. Unfortunately each user might want to copy different tabs. I was wondering if there was a Macro that I could write that would ask the users which tabs they want to copy into a new workbook.

I have a program that opens an excel-workbook, I first check whether the file is opened by another user(open for read-write). This works fine, but I'd like to know which user has the file open with VBa code. ex.
workbooks.open ....
if open
then msgbox " Book opened by user"
end if
So it's the same as you open an excel(with your windows explorer) on a network and you get the message that the file is already opened by the user....

I'm trying to limit the controls users have on a specific workbook. Problem is I would like for them to have this workbook open throughout the day and if I look all the controls then they will be locked out of these controls on other seperate workbooks they open. The only reason I ask is because of some awesome code I just found by Dave Hawley. The code is...
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
With Application
. CommandBars(1).Enabled = Not Sh. Name = "Sheet1"
.CommandBars(" Formatting").Enabled = Not Sh.Name = "Sheet1"
.CommandBars("Standard").Enabled = Not Sh.Name = "Sheet1"
.DisplayFormulaBar = Not Sh.Name = "Sheet1"
End With
ActiveWindow.DisplayHeadings = Not Sh.Name = "Sheet1"
End Sub
This works great with one exception. It will only block the menus for one Sheet.
In my workbook I have 8 sheets and would like to apply this to 4 of them. Is there any way to modify code to hide menus on mores than one sheet. Also while I'm in the neighborhood. Is there a way to hide the sheet tabs for this workbook only. So once again if a user opened another workbook they would be there?

how to create user logins and passwords for five users for one workbook. Also, preferrably to have a message to prompt for entering the user name and password at the first worksheet (e.g. the main page where there it is usually the company logo page) when the workbook is open.
E.g. there are five employees and we would like to create five different logins and passwords for them. So when they open the workbook, it would be the first sheet of the workbook to appear first and they would then be prompt to enter their username and password. If one of the employees leave the company, we can still quite easily change the name to the new employee.

I have a workbook that has a macro that needs to run before it is closed. I have a button on my sheet that runs that macro and then closes the sheet. Is there a way that I can disable the "X" at the top right hand of the workbook and force the user to close the workbook via my button?

Is it possible to have an "if then" statement that would send the user to another page in the workbook? For instance..... =IF(D12="Mobile","Sheet2!","Sheet3!"). I know this does not work but is there another function that would do it? I am very new to vba and am sure it is easy there but I do not have a good handle on it yet.

I have an excel file with data in it.I also have designed an user form so that the user can select few options in that to filter the excel file and get a new file. The reason i am doing this is because the people who are going to use this do not have any knowledge of excel. In the sample attached, the tab "Data" has the data in it. The User form should filter this particular sheet and throw out a new file. In the userform, I have mentioned the fields to be filtered.

I have a macro that runs when the workbook opens. At the end of my macro I've added a Yes/No box. If 'No' the workbook closes without saving. If 'Yes' I would like to restart the macro. I can close it ok, but I don't know how to restart the macro from line 1 when 'Yes' is selected. Here is what I have:
YesNo = MsgBox("Done! Would you like to run again?", vbYesNo + vbCritical, "Caution")
Select Case YesNo
Case vbYes
'I don't know what to put here :(
Case vbNo
ActiveWorkbook.Close savechanges:=False
End Select
