Without using VBA can you suppress alerts in Excel?
Specifically when you are creating copies of many sheets in a workbook,
"A formula or sheet you want to move or copy contains the name "Month", which already exists on the destination sheet. Do you want to use this version of the name?"
The reason for turning the alerts off is that the answer is always yes and it appears too many time in this workbook.

Is there a way to disable updating to the screen but have a message displayed to the user while a macro is running? Something like a userform displayed on the screen or a message in the status bar. I vaguley remember you could "print" message to the status bar in LotusScript, wondering if there is something similar in Excel.
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
"the macro is running, hang tight"
...macro code in here...
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Private Sub Workbook_Open ()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False

I have a personal.xls macro that basically does a comparison of two different workbooks. One of these workbooks ihas it's own macros (which are there in case the user wants to run them separately)...anyways my main macro calls these other macros one at a time.
It seems that at each call, the screen updates, alternating sheets and/or workbooks....
I know about the Application.Screenupdating=True / False statements....but I am not sure where I should be putting them to get the whole thing to work seamlessly.... I tried them at the start and end of my main macro, but that doesn't do the job.

I have a macro that opens many excel documents. I used the application.screenupdating to turn off viewing these excel documents opening unfortunately they are still viewable. I counted the number of trues and falses in the module and there are 4. I believe the 2 pairs are unrelated. I keep both subs in the same module since they share functions.
Code:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'turbospeed
Debug.Print Application.ScreenUpdating 'shows true in break mode

I have some code that opens several different spreadsheets, copies data and pastes it to the main sheet (that contains the code)
I have added the Application.screenupdating = False line of code, but it still does not seem to freeze the screen.

The following short macro moves data into an area from where a series of graphs can either be displayed on the screen or printed. It may not be the most elegant of code and the way in which I "jump" around the hard copy option may raise some eyebrows, however except for what follows, it generally works.
When the "S"creen option is taken only the first graph is displayed, subsequent ones are not shown, (the screen does not refresh). What do I need to add to the coding to ensure each graph is shown? .....

I am using this macro to open a selected folder and apply a macro to all the file in the folder. However, I don't want the user to see what is the loaded file doing. I mean, all the selected file will be formatted by the calling macro in minimize way.

I have now seen a few codes, both from my instructor and on the web that is using code like this;
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
...... CODE HERE .....
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Would there be any reason to this madness. Can't see why you wouldn't set it back to true and absolutly no reason to double false it?

I need a method of updating a set of data held on tab1 from tab2 where details of one record is shown using VLOOKUP, possibly via a macro? For example:
Sheet 1 holds info on various companies - (Column headers: Name, address1,
address2, postcode, " DATE LETTER SENT")
Sheet 2 Uses a drop down menu to select the desired company and some VLOOKUP
formulas show the info from sheet1 on that one particular company. Sheet 3 There is a printable standard template letter which draws info from the record selected on sheet 2 (using standard =Sheet1!A1 formula) formated so the letter is addressed to the specific company selected. Back to: Sheet 2 - At the bottom there is a button which says 'Print' This runs a macro which selects sheet3, prints it then returns to sheet2. I need this macro to also go back to sheet1 and update the relevant record with ideally todays date (the date the letter was printed) in the "DATE
LETTER SENT" column mentioned before but can just be an 'X' to show a letter
has been printed for this company/record at some point. So in the future, by looking at sheet1 you can easil determine which companys have had letters printed against, and which havn't.

i was wondering if there is a way to display a pop up message that a stating that the spreadsheet is currently updating.
What i have is a macro running on Auto_Open when workbook is opened. I have switch off the screen updating. What i want now is for maybe to have a pop up stating the spreadsheet is updating. Setting screen updating to false means that my excel freezes for a few seconds. I think users might be thinking that excel has crashed and therefore would like to include the message that the spreadsheet is updating its information.

I cannot solve problem 1, thus I tried workarounds, however there are also problems with them (problem 2, problem 3). I do not use .activate or .select in my code. I have recreated the problem in sample workbook.

I have a workbook which is set up to take an average heart rate of a participant from a series of data points. I have set the spreadsheet up before I have collected some of the data. (so I can review the project at the 3 months period and its an ongoing project).
The problem is that if there is no data in a participants column then excel correctly gives you readout of “#DIV//0!”. On my results page this #DIV//0!” makes it hard to read the spreadsheet. Is it possible to get excel to turn #DIV//0!” to “0” or even turn it to a blank cell?

Students choose different electives, upto a maximum of 20. In the example below, I have shown them with only four electives. Some choices require a pre-requisite subject to be chosen. In the example below, let us assume that you must select WXY101 in your choices if you want to include WXY102 as an option as well. Jane Doe fits this criteria, so there is no alert.
However, John Smith is trying to complete WXY102 without having chosen WXY101, and hence WXY102 appears in the alert column as a problem selection. Note that choosing WXY101 without choosing WXY102 is OK, as you can just complete a pre-requisite subject.

Is there a way I can have an Excel 2003 worksheet notify me of upcoming
dates? Ex: I have a spreadsheet tracking safety course expirey dates, and
would like to have the cells highlight prior to that date, say 1 month in
advance. Will conditional formatting do this.

Using VBA automation - set ObjXL as an Excel.Application
Lots of code and data transfer
then:
3410 ObjXL.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=strSaveAsFileName
3420 ObjXL.Visible = False
3430 ObjXL.Quit
Set Objxl= nothing
should the line be set : ObjXL.displayAlerts = True
- befor the objxl.Quit ?
- before the Objxl.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:= aname
how to close the ObjXL with out orphaning a process.
OR???
ObjXL.ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="Data1", RefersToR1C1Local:=ObjXL.Range("A5").CurrentRegion
Will this line of code create a 2nd instance of Excel?

I'm trying to format a worksheet to show a one year due date with an alert 30 days out so that I can complete the task before the date due. I am using this for a preventative maintenance sheet for respiratory protection equipment that needs to be serviced annually. For instance; if I service a mask today the next service will be in one year. I'd like it to alert me 30 days out. If I could get that alert through outlook that would be fantastic.

I've just written a bit of looping vba script that generates an overwrite alert (i.e. "Output range will overwrite existing data. Press OK to overwrite..."). This is fine and was purposely built into the script, but I want to be able to automatically ignore these alerts and loop through the script unhindered.

I just finished a great macro and right at the end of deleting a sheet, I got a message box saying
"Data may exist in the sheet(s) selected for deletion. To permanently delete the data, press Delete"
How can I eliminate this from popping up in the middle of code?

I need to disable all kinds of messages that could appear in front of the user when it opens the workbook. I am already using DisplayAlerts=False and On Error Resume Next? Can we also do this through excel application itself and not using VBA ?

I am trying to hide the excel 2010 application, open a csv file on a network drive, show the excel application.
The problem is a "Downloading" progress indicator appears, during the workbook open event I assume.
Code:
Sub Macro1 ()
Application.Visible = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Workbooks.Open Filename:="S:LOGT5.CSV"
Application.Visible = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
I have seen the similar progress indicator during the "Save" event too. How to hide this?

I have attached a sample file. All the data is inserted into this file via a text file, except one column "G". Someone in this forum was kind enough to help me in being able to include the city name 'G' to a parcel number 'A'. However, the page is constantly trying to complete 'Calculations' and won't let me do anything without first hitting 'Control Break'.
This is fine except that when I try to save the file into .txt, I don't have the option of 'Control Break' and I have to end up closing the file. As the 'real' file has over 100,000 rows, nothing happens very fast. I have tied changing the 'Calculation Options' but that doesn't seem to change anything.

The use of * as a wildcard in excel can be extremely useful, however, can it be turned off? I work in the education sector and am currently number crunching GCSE results. When it comes to calculating A* grades versus A grades, B grades, etc, I cannot seem to do it because of the wildcard.

I have a code that will look in column C for all rows with data, turn on autofilter and copy the data into column A.
Then do the same in column D, paste into column A.
And finally the same in column E, paste into column A.
But I think the autofilter turning on and off might be a problem.
Code:
Sheets("PP").RAnge("A2:A50").ClearContents
Dim LastRow1 As Long
RAnge("C1").Select
[Code].....
