Userform And ESC - How To Prevent?
Feb 2, 2009
When user presses "ESC" key on an open userform, data he has changed in controls (simple textbox for example) gets resetted. Right? I'm seeing such behavior in Excel 2003. How about other versions?
I'd like to see some documentation about what exactly is going on, and how to prevent such unexpected feature (that forces data loss), but could not find.
I mean that i have no commandbutton with cancel=true. By default I want to keep the data user has entered/changed. Unfortunately this data reset finds place before any trappable event, or am i wrong?
I have not found any working way to capture keypresses on userform level. Userform has _KeyPress and other events, but those are not firing? If there is one, that would be helpful. Perhaps even on system level with some APIs? Altough that sounds way too complicated for a problem that should need only one little-known flag set. Perhaps there is such property somewhere?

I have a spreadsheet with a User From that transfers data from the user form to a sheet each time OK is pressed. On my workstation, the form stays in the middle of the screen. On the PC where it is in production, it moves to the left of screen a little each time OK is pressed until it is hard up against the edge. We recently moved to Excel 2003, and I'm wondering if there is a setting in Excel that contols this.

I am trying to prevent/remove duplicates and blank rows from occuring in a spreadsheet which is being populated via a Userform. The user must be able to add items to the spreadsheet during the normal course of work, so I guess that the blank line removal should occur when they exit the module or application.
However, duplicate prevention is particularly important as the data being captured pertains to products. Column A of the spreadsheet contains the product code and that will be the "watch" column. I have tried various options, particularly for removing blank rows and have so far have not had success.
Something that I have noticed is that when a new item is 'added' to the spreadsheet and the job is either cancelled or not saved, that a simple resize of the range through a recount of the rows to the first one empty does not remove the blank lines which is interesting too.

I am using a macro that copied a string from another app, and I would like to know if there is a way to remove the sign "_" (underscore) before it paste to the TextBox1?
I declare the textbox as : TextBox1.Value = DATA
When the macro run, it takes the info from the app and send the string DATA to the TextBox1.Value, however there is ugly _ from the data. I want to be able to remove that sign right after it paste into the TextBox1.

I have created a userform with 3 text boxes. It also has three buttons - clear, Cancel and Generate record button.
User form takes entries in the three text boxes and on clicking the Generate Record button, the values of the three Text Boxes are inserted in Column A, B and C of sheet1. The columns keep on populating with new data on each submit in the row below the last record.
Now it is required to enter data only if the value entered in TextBox1 is new and has not been entered previously in column A. If textbox entry is already aviailable in column A, a message box of 'Record available' shoud be prompted and the text entry must not be allowed until the data entered in TextBox1 is not unique.

I have a userform with several textboxes and 2 comboboxes. The data that I need protected from duplication is based in the comboboxes. If I ignore the other fields and presume the following it may be easier to understand:
The comboboxes are populated by the data stored in sheet1 and when the userform is complete, the OK button populates all the data into sheet2
Combobox1 contains names eg, John, Julie, Bob etc
Combobox2 contains colours eg, Red, Blue, Green etc
I want the userform to allow the data to be entered into sheet2 only if it is not an exact duplicate of the choices in BOTH of the comboboxes
For Example
John Red
Julie Red
Bob Blue
John Blue
These are all ok, however, to try and enter John Red again would bring up a message box indicating a duplicate entry and prevent the data from being entered.

This is weird - if you delete a sheet that contained a control then
a. showing a modeless userform resluts in a userofrm that goes invisible at subroutine End
b. public variables lose their value
These things do not happen if the sheet did not contain a control. Attached is an example file - put the inputfile.xls in your default file location (or add a path in the code) then open the ProblemDemo.xls and run the main macro to see it fal - isthis another Excelbug I've found?

I am trying to write a VBA code that prevents the user from deleting row 8.
I do not want to use the sheet protection with password approach.
I simply want a code that prevents the user from deleting row 8 and notifies him via MSGBOX that such action is prohibited.

I made up a small subprocedure that searches through a large list of zipcodes (These zipcodes are in a separate sheet). Whenever I execute my subprocedure in another sheet, it jumps to the zipcode sheet and then goes back to where I originally executed the subprocedure.
Is there any way that I can prevent the sheets from switching back and forth?

I have several non-modal userforms in my App, some of them have date-fields that require manual entry typing of dd/mm/yy etc (No single userform has more than one date-box in it, this I think may be pivotally useful)
Now the Userform 'Calendar' that is built on the class of the same (cCalendar) name, has the write value line 'ActiveCell.value = theCal.value'
I'm looking to change this to refer to the correct userform.Textbox value, depending on which form is open.
I would imagine I could simply have a global string, whose value is set (or re-set) whenever a Userform is initialized (some sort of 'ActiveUF.value = Me.Name), where I get lost is referring to the components by name, so as to have a case statement by where I go:
Code:
Private Sub theCal_AfterUpdate()
Select Case ActiveUF
Case "AddForm"
application.vbe.components("AddForm").controls("AddFormDatePicker").value = theCal.value
Case "EditForm"
'.... etc
end select
end sub
better way of doing this (instead of passing around the userform name as a variable) - or proper syntax for referring to controls outside of the 'active' userform (but an open userform nonetheless)?
Every time I have to do this particular thing with userforms, I completely forget how, and the object browser always leads me on an infinite loop of Application.vbe.activevbproject.vbcomponents.vbe.active....
PS - there may be one slight complication to the process - one of the forms, has a 2-tab page in it, each page having similar (but named differently) fields. So I may need to be able to throw in 'Activepage' or whatnot

am trying to create a workbook template which collects data from users with user forms and some macros. Users assign a project name when workbook opens and then they are able to save as the workbook with name of project name. But i don't want them to save on my template mistakenly. How do i prevent this? I tried workbook_before close sub but i can manage that it recommends to save workbook with project name and if you don't want, it still asks you if you want to save workbook before close

I've got the following code which opens/gets the excel files from a specified directory and imports them into an open workbook. I've added a GoTo Error before my loop which checks if there are any files in the directory and shows an error message if it's the case. Problem is since the loop goes on till there are no more files in the directory, it goes back to the error. How to change that ?

I have 2 workbooks open. In the workbook that I am working in I run a macro from a userform to copy a worksheet from the other workbook that is idle in the back ground. I also display another user form that says "please wait" while the macro is running.
The problem I have is even though screen updating is set to false the screen switches over to the other workbook while it is copying the desired sheet and switches back to the workbook I am copying to after the macro completes. Also the "Please Wait" userform disappears while the other workbook is displayed and reappears when the initial workbook returns.
Below is my code which works without issue but perhaps there's a better way to copy between workbooks that would prevent the screen changes?

I use a few Functions in my VBA code. All these functions, are declared as "Public", and reside in a single module. However, they are called from many different modules during code execution. (i.e. many functions called from many modules - hence the "Public" declaration).
My issue is that in addition to being available to different VBA Modules, these Functions are also available on the worksheet as a UDF (so if a user presses "=" in the formula bar, the auto-complete shows these functions when the first characters match). Is there a way to remove the availability of the function on user worksheet? i.e. to allow a Function to be called from different modules in VBA, but prevent it from being available on the worksheet.
My current work-around is to prefix all Public Function names with letter "j" - as no excel formula seems to begin with it - none of them show up as auto-complete options. Nevertheless, the Functions are still available to the user - which is what I would like to prevent.

I want to allow users to select a cell in a column, but not allow them to change the contents of the cell. Also, don't want to allow them to select all the cells on the sheet.
I'm guessing that I need to use the Change event, and restore the contents back to what they were before the change.
Is there a better way to do this?

An old post provided the following macros that purportedly prevent users from deleting a worksheet. Unfortunately, it also makes it so you can't delete ANY worksheet in ANY file, which is of course not what was intended. Need figure a way to remove this nuisance? All attempts to delete a sheet keep looking back to the offending workbook, even though the macro has since been deleted from it.
Try pasting the following two event procedures into the Help sheet module:
'==========================>>
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Dim CB As CommandBar
Dim Ctrl As CommandBarControl
For Each CB In Application.CommandBars
Set Ctrl = CB.FindControl(ID:=847, recursive:=True)
If Not Ctrl Is Nothing Then
Ctrl.OnAction = "RefuseToDelete"
Ctrl.State = msoButtonUp
End If
Next
End Sub................

I have 2 sheets, List 1 and List 2 Both lists contain generic part numbers in column A, so because there could be 2 manfacturers of the same part there will be duplication of the generic part number.
What I want is to prevent someone entering a generic part number in list 1, which already exists on list 2.
I there any cde which can be put in the sheet which will show an error message for this?

I have a excel worksheet that I am looking to market and I want to give the prospective customer a 30 day free trial before purchasing my worksheet. What I would like to do it be able to lock the worksheet so it can not be used after 30 days and also display a message telling them that the trial period has ended. I would also like to keep all formula cells locked at all times to prevent unathorized copying of my calculations.

How do I write a sub to prevent all changes to a worksheet?
This is part of my thinking in covering all possible mishaps that could occur when working with sheet movement. If I could somehow introduce an active protection on either my Sheets(1) or Sheets("Main"), then I could prevent accidental writing to or removal of said sheet.
