I am working in Excel 2003 and have recently lost the Task Pane when I start Excel. The box in Tools Options to display the task pane is checked. I have modified the registry to include a DoNotDismissFileNewTaskPane value and have even added the following code to the Personal.xls file:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("Task Pane").Visible = True
End Sub
If I remove the On Error Resume Next line I get the following error:
Runtime error '-2147467259 (80004005)' Method 'Visible' of object 'commandBar' failed
I did add the Analysis Toolpak last week but am not sure that this had anything to do with it.
I can go into the View menu and show the Task Pane and do have the CTRL+F1 option to display it.
i'm trying to put together a spreadsheet using excel 97 that uses forms for data input & display - the spreadsheet itself is used solely for data storage & no editing is done directly to ensure people aren't trying to mess about with the spreadsheet i thought it would be an idea to minimise excel when the spreadsheet is launched & have the forms pop up on screen instead. the problem i've got is getting the first form on screen whilst excel is minimised
Private Sub Workbook_Open() frmSplash.Show Application.WindowState = xlMinimized End Sub
the spreadsheet launches, the splash screen launches, but excel doesn't minimise
if i use
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Application.WindowState = xlMinimized frmSplash.Show End Sub
the spreadsheet minimises, but the form doesn't display - the excel taskbar button flashes to indicate something is going on clicking the taskbar button brings up the form & keeps excel minimised....but the staff who will be using this won't be happy with this at all!!!
I use Excel 2007 and I have an .xls that I've had set to auto-open at startup and has worked fine for months now. Alll of a sudden a couple days ago it stopped auto-opening, and I have to now manually open the .xls. I looved in the Advanced>At Startup setting and it's set to the correct folder. What other setting in Excel 2007 do I need to check that would be causing this startup problem?
Recently my HELP was unable to display certain objects. Now I get an Internet Explorer Script Error message popping up almost ever time I display Help.
I found some code that is working great, but I'd like to add some functionality to it if it can be done. When a cell is clicked in Column G it is displaying a % found in Column F in the same row as G under the cell similar to a comment without using the comments option. The problem I'm finding though is that if Column F is hidden then it is not displaying the results in the cell found in Column G. Here is the Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Dim Row As Integer Dim Amount As String
I would like to have the column titles stay so I have frozen row 1. But I would also like to freeze row 200 so I can keep up with the running totals at the bottom of the form as I fill in information. Is it possible to freeze a pain at the top and the bottom?
I have a chart with data displayed in columns A thru F and chart to the right of data. Chart width is adjusted programmatically based on amount of data from the user input.
I have been able to split screen and freeze panes so I can horizontally scroll through chart without moving data. Is there a way to be able to scroll vertically through data and have chart frozen?
I want to freeze pane in sheet 2 without need to activate it since sheet 1 is active sheet. all the code that i found using ActiveWindow like code in below. is there any way to freeze pane without activate it?
In the below code I am trying to Freeze the panes on "B3" and Zoom out of the page to 90%. I keep getting errors on these two lines and I believe I am not coding these lines properly. (Errors are occurring in the "With" statement with all the PasteSpecials)
Code:
Sub Export() Dim LastRow As Long Dim TabString1 As Variant Dim TabString2 As Variant Set NewBook = Workbooks.Add' With NewBook'
Simple question: How can I disable the Research Task Pane from launching when I Alt-click in Excel 2003?
Further Explanation: I have an Excel Add-in (commercial, not my own) that will retrieve data from an outside server when the user presses Alt-Double Click. Work's great. I've now upgraded to Excel 2003, so anytime I Alt-Double Click, Excel opens up the "Research Task Pane" (Pain?). To make matters worse, I'm behind a corporate firewall, so I get an authentication challange in order to connect to the internet when this opens. Don't want it, don't need it, want to get rid of it. Any solution is fine - Option setting, VBA, Registry setting
I need to list all freeze pane position from every sheets in my workbook in order to reverse a "unfreeze all" function. I don't know if i need to be more specific ?
Situation : I have a workbook with many sheets. Every worksheet has a different freeze pane position. I hate freeze panes, so while i'm working in a workbook, i remove them all. My boss likes those ones so i want to give him back my work with the same layout.
The main thing i don't know here if how you ask Excel to fetch freeze pane info. Ideally the information will be reported in a new sheet, columns : Sheets, HorizontalFreezePanePosition, VerticalFPP...
Once i will have this list, i will create a new macro and set back freeze pane individually.
I would like to create a pop up message that would automatically come up when someone opens one of my Excel workbooks. Essentially, I want to have some text regarding the confidentiality of the document, then require the user to click an "OK" button to continue.
How do I setup a STARTUP WIZARD in EXCEL which allows user can input information, and these information will be stored in the excel worksheet automatically.
The startup wizard is defined as a window which will pop up automatically when you open the Excel document. The wizard contains forms.
when I powered up my workstation, the workbook has reverted back to calculating upon startup. I have provided a sanitized version of the workbook. I think the issue with the calculations during startup may not be apparent to you due to your inability to access the Access database this workbook extracts data from. I attached a test database which should hopefully work correctly with the workbook to demonstrate the calculation issue. Extract and save the test database in c:emp. That is where the workbook import queries will look for it.
The live workbook is much larger and on a remote server so the calculations take a lot longer than what you might see here.
Is there some way to detect that a key (specific or any) is being pressed when an Excel workbook is being opened to activate optional precessing in the macro code?
I am trying to launch the userforms with the below codes during startup(that is when you click the excel file, the userform will automatically pop up). Please, Can somebody guide me through ? Compare_Map is a subroutine which is to be called when optionbutton3 is being selected.
Private Sub OptionButton1_Click()
End Sub
Private Sub OptionButton2_Click()
End Sub
Private Sub OptionButton3_Click() Call Compare_Map Exit Sub End Sub
I have a macro that runs when a spreadsheet is opened however i sometimes need it not to run. Rather then furiously hit escape i was hoping to get a dialog box that would prompt yes/no to run the macro and if an option was not chosen after a few second then to run the macro anyway (so basically only by clicking "no" would you stop the macro from running).
I found this code here that gives me the yes/no message box and the 5 second time-out to get rid of the message box, however if the message times out it doesn't run the macro. what i need to tweak to make it do so if no input comes from the user? [URL]
There are two macros that i'd liek to add to my personal macro workbook upon startup of excel.
i tried to do them without coding but it appears that some actual coding is necessary.
1) i'd like to be able to select any # of cells anywhere on the page and hit ctrl+shift + n and have all of those selected cells read #N/A (the forumula is =na() )
2) i'd like to be able to select any number of columns (i do finance/econ research so all data is in chronological order from 1960-present along the columns. i.e. each variable is a column vector.) and be able to hit ctrl+shift+b and have VBA make a chart in a new sheet with my default settings
i've tried to do these but recording the macro hard codes the select cells for 1) and always runs into weird problems for 2).
It seems to work, except that the workbook is visible for about 1 second. I have a user form that opens for username/password verification. Is there any way to prevent the workbook from becoming visible at all until I want it to?
I'm currently running MS Excel 2003 on Windows XP SP 3. When I launch Excel from the start menu, it starts right up. When double-clicking an Excel file, it takes approximately 45 seconds to a minute to launch and open the file. This happens no matter what the file size.
the system i'm creating involves many user ... some may know how to decode the system esp. on the startup ... if they click disable macro they can view, edit and delete important data in the system ... can somebody guide me on how to automatically enables macro on excel file on startup???
I've tried: - setting security to low - but got auto reset by administrator.
