VB To Edit Another Workbook
Jun 6, 2006
My purpose is to give my endusers a workbook with a macro in it which applies changes to existing workbooks on their computers. I want the enduser to select each workbook to apply the changes and have the macro capture the names of the workbooks so they can verify that all of the appropriate workbooks have been changed.
I’m trying to change two types of data: (1) text, (2) formulas.
Here's what little I have, but not much is working.
Sub ChangeBACKLOG()
MsgBox "Open the FILE to which the Backlog fix is to be applied."
Dim targetWorkbook
dlgSource = Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show
Set sourceWorkbook = ThisWorkbook
Set targetWorkbook = Workbooks.Item(Workbooks.Count)
On Error Resume Next

I'm writing a macro that opens another Excel file, opens a userform within that file, and manipulates the data. I've never tried to do this before. I keep getting "Object Required" error. My macro fails on the "frmMain.Show" where "frmMain" is the userform I am interested in. Here's the
Excel.Application.Workbooks.Open ("C:DataCalculations.xls") 'Open file
frmMain.Show 'Bring-up UserForm
frmMain.cbUser.Value = "Guest" 'Sign as Guest
frmMain.cbVariables.Value = var 'number of variables

I have a macro where I try to edit the links after I open the workbook. I used the macro recorder to get the code, and if I use it, it works great. However, when I try to insert some variables in the code, I get an error saying "Method 'ChangeLink' of object'_Workbook' failed. I don't know why I'm getting this error. Below is code.
Sub MyCode
Dim VarianceMonth As Variant
VarianceMonth = VarianceReport.cboMonth.ListIndex + 1
Windows(VarianceMonth & "_2007 Forecast (LGBU).xls").Activate
ActiveWorkbook.ChangeLink Name:= _
"\sf1d3shareLGBU_ FinanceAdministrative ReportsMonthly Forecasts" & VarianceMonth & "_2007" & VarianceMonth - 1 & "_2007 Forecast (Ancillary).xls" _
, NewName:= _
"\sf1d3shareLGBU_ FinanceAdministrative ReportsMonthly Forecasts" & VarianceMonth & "_2007" & variancmeonth & "_2007 Forecast (Ancillary).xls" _
, Type:=xlExcelLinks

I have a workbook which contains a list of data on the first worksheet. I need for a macro to copy the name in each row,along with its data in that row and paste it into the corresponding locations on a template located on another worksheet. It would then save the file using the date (col. a) , then the words " Scorecard for" and then the name (col. b), then loop for each row until it reaches the end of the list.
I located this code here here.However I dont know how to modify it to fit my needs. I dont have 2 separate categories for two score cards in column b. It would all run off one scorecard and each row of data.
[Code] .....

I'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?

I want to amend the ' Date Modified' for a spreadsheet. I have just made changes to it - so the 'Date Modified' shows today's date and time. Is there a way of changing the 'Date Modified' so it shows as yesterday's date?

1) I need to add an edit check
2) have a copy of Active Workbook Path stamped onto spreadsheet with date and time to create a visual record of where the file has been saved (described after the code below).
1) I need to verify that two cells (S7 and S9) are not blank before running my code below (=IF(OR(S7<>"",S9<>""),RUN CODE,"You must select your Provider or Division before you can save this document")).
- If both of these cells are blank a message box should notify the user that they must select the provider and/or division before they can continue with the save.
- If one or more of these cells are not blank the code below should run.

I am using Excel 2000
I have recently opened a file sent to me, and since closing it my Edit menu does not work properly when I open any existing files or start a new file
The problem is with Copy, Cut Paste and Paste Special, when I click on the Edit menu they are all greyed out, also if I right click they are also greyed out
Obviously the file I opened has changed some settings, how do I re-set this

Is there a way to setup a spreadsheet so data that has been entered cannot ne deleted or edited, and only the last field in the column can be accessible? So if I have info entered in a1, a2, a3, b1, b2, b3, no one can edit or delete them, and can only add to a4 and b4? Will I need to write a macro for this or is it something I can do with certain settings?

The edit box used to make or edit ranges for Defined Names is VERY difficult to use for long char strings. The arrow keys do not move the cursor within the edit box & the end key does not work.
How to edit range names that are 100-200 characters long?
Are there settings to alter behavior of arrow keys withing these "range definition boxes"?

I am facing problem with my footer, which is as under:
___________________________________________
E-mail: xxx_yyyy@somewhere.com
My footer should be printed at the bottom of my paper as shown above. But, as expected, when I change margins of page or even change the printing preference, like best print to draft print or like that, it goes changing like this:
________________________________________________E
-mail:xxx_yyyy@somewhere.com
or like this:
_________________________________________________
__E-mail:xxx_yyyy@somewhere.com
So, it become headache for me. i have to first see the print preview and then after I can go for printing. How to deal with this problem?
There should be two lines in footer: first will have _____________________________________only and the second one will have E-mail:xxx_yyyy@somewhere.com

I've been trying to resolve an issue with the userform that i created. It adds new records to the sheet "Data" but i can't seem to add a search/edit function to it.
It could be either a combobox with the existing Project Id's or a text box + a control button, so a user could enter Project Id and hit a button.
The spreadsheet example is attached : Project Entry Form.xls

Is it possible to edit multiple =VLOOKUP formulas to add in a "[range lookup]" = FALSE without editing each one individually? I was going to use a find and replace for the "col_index_num" and add the FALSE to the end of that, but in this case my "col_index_num"s vary too much.

This only happens on one sheet within a workbook of 7 pages. The werid thing is that it does not happen on the version before
Any ideas how this could of happened and is there a fix?

I can copy and paste them, but not delete them. how to identify them to edit and/or delete them. Password protection and all cells are unlocked as well. I have stumped as well as other forums.

I have a macro enabled spreadsheet in which I am able to paste in the customer number as text, but I need to touch the cell in order to make the customer name populate in the next column.
Double click - enter and F2 -enter both will do this, but I'd rather not be doing this for 200 rows every time I have to use it. Is there a way to touch all of these rows without VBA? The spreadsheet was built by our IT department years ago and is rather fickle. I can't risk interrupting the code or I end up having to close it and start over. It's password protected.
Text to columns doesn't work.

i have a worksheet that gets data from web - its automated, but the website goes through a tunnel - with security - requires username and password
the Query Runs ok and smooth but i have to login manually by right clicking on a table where the query is and selecting "Edit Query" so i can login, excel vba doesnt save passwords for that part...
one way i find it possible to automate that part too would be to use maybe like the sendkeys statement to pop up the context menu from right clicking the mouse button, or like the options button on the keyboard.
I found this one:
[Code] .....
It works but the context menu comes exactly from where the current mouse position is..
I needed it to do the right click on a specific range in the worksheet (where the web query is)..

I have created a complaint database with a spreadsheet and a userform in Excel. Only part of the information is known at the time the user enters the complaint. I have created a search feature so I can search for a record using a unique identifier called RecordNo. I can call up a record and change the information in the record or add additional information. When I hit the command button save it stores a duplicate record with the new information. I don't want duplicate records.
Also some of the data fields do not fill the original data. It seems to be inconsistent in the way it loads the original record data into the userform. This issue happens consistently with the weather items that are check boxes and also with the Complaint Taken By field. I am a beginner and have found most of the code to write this database online. So perhaps there are some conflicts between code from different sources. I've uploaded the spreadsheet and userform.
