Trapping File Version In VBA?
Dec 11, 2012
how I could amend the following code so that my target worksheet includes file versions? The worksheet range "Folder" contains a string specifying the target folder and the worksheet range "IncludeSubFolders" is either TRUE or FALSE. I can trap FilePath, FileName, FileSize and DateModified fine but not File Version (I'm working with DLL libraries).
Code:
Dim iRow As Long
Sub ListFiles()
iRow = Range("DatabaseStart").Offset(1, 0).Row
Call ListMyFiles(Range("Folder"), Range("IncludeSubFolders"))
End Sub
[Code]......

The other day, I had posted a macro, which copies one of the sheets from a workbook, on to a blank sheet, and then saves it with a name obtained from the value of cell E7. I required certain modifications to it, before I could implement it.
You will find it here and the code looks like this:

I have a file that is on a server. When I open it on my excel it opens an old version of it and not the newest copy. If I open it on a coworkers computer, it does open the correct newer version. How do I change this?

I'm creating a template xlsm file that has built in marcos. This file will be used by the Engineer as a template, where they fill in the data, and then send it to the team. when the case in finished, they will use clear data macro.
The Problem I want the template to have a macro runs with startup of the file that checks for the lastest template in a network folder (shared folder where they will have read only access). If the used file is the latest one, OK. If not, give a custom msg with the location on the network.

I am using excel 2010 on windows 8. I load a file which has been sent to me via e-mail and save it with an upgraded name, I then do a large amount of data input and save the file again, I do this regularly and even test load it at times to check it has saved, finally I save and close the file and then on reloading I discover the version I have is the first one I saved! all the work I have done on it has disappeared! I also sometimes find random .tmp files with non-sensical names in the folder to which I have saved, but I do not have the rights to open these .tmp files.

Since I practically never deliberately hit Control-2 through Control-5 -- and do hit them "more than never," I thought I'd grab them with the KeyPress event (or KeyDown?). Then it hit me that I'm not sure where it would go.
This is for every workbook so this would generically reside in personal.xls. ThisWorkbook doesn't seem like the right place; I want its scope to be ActiveWorkbook. Would it require a class module (actually, I already looked, and don't see any keyboard events under "App")?

I only want to do a "macro" in VBA that must do two things
record the keys pressed (during only 5 minutes)
and save the results in a text file
It is the only code in VBA I try to write
I found public documentation (legal stuff I mean)
about GetKeyState
I have snippets of code for save data as txt file
But I don't succeed in finishing the all code.
My purpose is to show to my daughter in law that if she doesn't respect rules
on the net, I'm able (but I don't want to really do it, it's just a threat) to know what she's doing.
If I want a real keylooger, I've downloaded one on the net.
I haven't done that and I don't want to.
I don't think a vba code with
the function getkeystate and Open file (an only that)
is a danger.

The below code validates values in a combined range. Values can be a 0 or a 3-digit combo of values 0 through 4. The problem is that whenever the Delete key is pressed to delete an acceptable value, the msgbox appears. How can the msgbox appear ONLY if a user tries to enter a wrong value--the cells can be, and are, left null regularly, so the msgbox is annoying.

I'm using VBA to open several files and pull information from them into a workbook with the hopes of eventually outputting the information to a formatted text file that can be uploaded to a data transfer system that will fill out a form for me. The problem I am finding is that the workbook that I need to access has faulty VBA code that executes everytime the workbook is opened. I realize the easiest solution would be to fix the code that is faulty however the workbook that I am accessing is automatically generated for each product with the faulty code embedded requiring me to handle the error on the back end. Attached is my code and I attempted using error trapping to handle this issue but I've concluded that I either lack understanding of error trapping or the fact that the error is in a cascaded workbook complicates the error trapping code.

I suspect I need a class module for this...
How do I trap the event when a user chooses to expand / collapse outlines (columns in this instance) on a worksheet?
Basicallly, when attempting to expand I want to prompt the user to enter a password and then unprotect the sheet. And if collapsing to prompt again and then protect the sheet. I have this bit covered, just not sure how to trap the event.

How can we "read" information from the VBE Error Trapping options (Break on All Errors/ Break in Class Module/ Break in Unhandled Errors) programmatically?
Background: I am developping a spreadsheet that needs to be sent around to distant users. Some of them might not have the default "Break on Unhandled Errors" setting), which would just make my programme fail or risk to fail...
This issue has been covered in the thread below, but the proposed solution doesn't work on my side (always returning the same output!): [URL] .....
Hint: it has been suggested to look into the registry, which the linked post does.
Ideally, I would love to be able to change the setting programatically, but that seem near to impossible in excel 2007 VBA (unless calling an external programme that closes and restarts excel after having changed the option?...)

I have Excel 2003 and 2007 on my computer and I want open excel from vb6 but they are both called Excel.exe. So it opens both of them when I run my code. I renamed one of the exe's and I was going to do it that way but then it was going to do a whole bunch of reinstalling.
Can I specify which version of excel I want to run, in vba or vb6 code ?
Maybe by specify the path some how.

If I want to create an Excel file that other users would use, and want to create a specific version number of the file. Is there a place I can save that information outside of the worksheets?
For example, lets say I create a file that is version 1.0. Can I save that somewhere in "Properties" or somewhere else so that "1.0" can't be modified, and if I come out with a different version say 2.0, I can update it?

As per title, I have both Excel 2003 & 2007 installed - I need to set 2003 as the default for opening xls files when double-clicking but can't seem to override 2007 which wants to hog all the action. I've been through the File Types menu and selected the 2003 version of Excel as the default, but it doesn't make the slightest difference.

In a previous thread I asked for a solution to the following problem
Cells
A1 = 1
A2 = 2
A3 = 3
A4 = 4
etc.
What I want to do is when I click on cell A1 the value is put in cell C1.
When I click on cell A2, C1 changes to to A2 value and so on.
VERSION 2
The VBA I received is good for 1 range.
Is there a way to use multiple ranges? In my example above column A is the 1st range and cell C1 changes accordingly. Now i would like to use column B as a 2nd range and have cell D1 change accordingly.

I have an excel based appliction that I distribute to about 150 people in the US, London, Hong Kong and Singapore. Distribution is currently done by email containing a link to a Sharepoint site (the email has the link, release notes, etc). The end users open the file and save it to their desktops, overwritting the previous version. I'm finding that many users are not updating their versions as they should be.
So what I'm wondering is if there's a way to have this process automated - so that when the user opens the file, it checks a repository (sharepoint or otherwise) for a more current version, then prompts the user to download it.

I need to create a multipage with tabs running down the left hand side. I cannot use the normal horizontal multipage control because this would result in an impossibly wide page. Is there a vertical multipage control? I could not find one? Or a way to convert the multipage control to show vertical tabs?
Please bare in mind that this vertical multipage will be shown in a form that already includes a normal horizontal multipage (I am using multipages within multipages too!).

We have a club membership database in Excel 2003. Unfortunately too many people can change it and we sometime use an old version for a mailout when there is a later version around. We have no easy, foolproof way of establishing which is the latest version.
Is there a way that a cell in the database can automatically have the date & time it was last changed (NOT last time it was read - Windows does that). Also a user name.
Failing that, is it possible to detect when anything has changed & when you try to close the file it requests a date & user which have to be entered before it closes ( this relies on the user putting in valid info but at least it's a start).
Ideally when you re-open the file it should say in A1, A2 - last changed .... by .....

I am writing an excel 'tool' that must be compatabile with both Excel 2003 and Excel 2007. I originally wrote some functions using Application.Filesearch, and had to re-write that code due to the lack of Application.Filesearch in Excel 2007 (I used the chdir method). The chdir method is much slower the way I am using it, therefore, I would like to still use the Application.Filesearch method for those using Excel 2003. Now, I have the user select their excel version and run the correct macro. Is there a way to detect the Excel Version automatically and the call the correct macro?

I recently bought a new Dell XPS 10 tablet with a keyboard. When I copied my spreadsheets from my old notebook, none of the countifs or countif functions are working, all popping out a zero. It work completely fine on my old notebook on which I have Excel 2010 installed. On the tablet I have the pre-installed Home & Student 2013 RT. Could this version have limitations to my functions? What can I do to get my functions working again?

Is there a way in vba to test to see what version of Excel is being used? My macro would crash if their data would exceed the 65K row limit in Excel 2003. I have a message that pops up if they do that, and it handles the problem just fine, but if they are ALREADY using Excel 2007 (or whatever comes later) I don't want the message to appear.
