Unable To Open Excel File
Oct 12, 2013I was able to open and read this file before installing Windows 8.
The background to this is that after installing Windows 8 and reinstalling Windows University 2010 my word documents and excel files where all opening up as word pad documents. I figured out the solution to the above on my own and I am now able to properly read the excel and word documents that I tested. But I am not able to read a very important excel file. It is very important that I restore somehow this file.
When I open the excel file a dialogue box open up saying "Excel found unreadable content in "Account.xlsx". Do you want to recover the content of this workbook? When I choose Yes the following dialogue box opens up saying "Excel cannot open the file "Account.xlsx" because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the extension matches the format of the file".
The file extension is set to xlsx however how do I test to see if it is corrupt. Is there anything I can do to restore this excel workbook?

VB- Open File With KNOWN Password
Oct 22, 2009I have a macro that opens Spreadsheet_A, copies the contents to Spreadsheet_Master, closes Spreadsheet_A, then repeats the process for Spreadsheet_B then ss_C then ss_D etc etc etc.....
Each spreadsheet is password protected, and the password is the same for all spreadsheet to stop casual browsing only. I have set the password.
When I run the macro, I have to type the password in each instance, ie 20 or more times for 2 or more files.
Anyone know the code to insert so the spreadsheet opens without my typing the password.
[It's Excel 2007, but I presume the same code as Excel 2003]

View 1 Replies View RelatedUnable To Edit Links With Workbook Open Because Of Invalid Reference?
May 31, 2013I'd prefer to edit links with the source workbook open, however I receive this error when I do "A formula in this worksheet contains one or more invalid references." I am able to edit links with the source workbook closed but this takes far too much time to be satisfied with that as the solution. I have used vlookup formulas and the index-match method and they both take about the same amount of time to update. I've separated each worksheet and used the "name manager" add-in and have searched all links for any type of error. I feel like I'm missing something. Is there a way to fix this "invalid reference" error so that I can edit my links with the source workbook open?

View 2 Replies View RelatedPassword Box For Spreadsheet Open
Apr 19, 2006I am just wondering if it is possible to insert a module or a code such that it is user specific.
In detail, there are two types of users: Administrator and User.
If it were administrator, it should ask for a password. If user, it should give the read-only or a protected form of the spreadsheet.
I just need the workbook to pop-up with a msgbox of administrator/user with a radio button or a select button. If administrator, it should ask for a password. Also, disabling the macros should not open the spreadsheet as making this would lead to nothing.

View 5 Replies View RelatedUnable To Break Links To Another File
May 8, 2006Last week I copied a worksheet from one spreadsheet into another, and have since been working from the new one. When I open the file I get a message box asking if I want to Update links from the other workbook. But I've deleted all named ranges, formulae, shapes, everything that could possibly link to the other workbook. I've also (in my frustration) completely deleted the sheet that was originally copied and re-made it from scratch. But it STILL comes up with this update box. In Excel's Help it says to go to Edit/Links and press Break Link, which I have tried but it doesn't do a thing. The link is still sitting there in the display box in the Links window - it says that the Type is Worksheet, I don't know if this makes any difference that it's not a formula or anything?
Also, in complete desperation when it wasn't deleting the link, I changed the source to a random file, so it now comes up with an error in updating (which it obviously would) however this doesn't have any effect on my file because as far as I can tell it no longer has links to the other file! I'm tempted to just go to the option that says don't show the Update prompt on opening (the file is to be handed in as coursework on Wednesday) but this doesn't solve the problem, only bypasses it! Each time I made a major change (e.g. recreating the copied worksheet, changing the source) I saved the file under a different name, so I have all old copies just incase I've completely messed it up!

View 3 Replies View RelatedRequire Password To Open If Username Does Not Match A List
Aug 8, 2014I have a spreadsheet (don't we all) that is currently password protected - you double click the file and need to input a password before it will open.
I have some code that will protect a workbook from changes and only unlock for specific usernames, and i wonder if there is some code that will do the following:
-User opens spreadsheet
-VBA looks at the username trying to open the sheet, for this example the username is Paul.Smith
-Paul.Smith is not one of the people who should have regular access to this sheet - so the VBA requests a password from him prior to opening the sheet.
My username opens the same sheet (galvin.paddy), VBA see's that my name is one of the 'Authorised Users', removes the password and opens the sheet for me ready for use.
