I somehow need to add to the section of code below a event to have the "(Public)Archive.xls" to automatically close 15 minutes without saving everytime it is opened.
Code:
Kill "H:AllMaterial Prep Archive(Public)Archive.xls"
Columns("A:H").Select
Selection.Copy

I have an excel file stored on a network drive for the purpose of information sharing. (File protected with a password)
But some the guys leave the file open for quiet long time and hence I cannot open the file for updating the data.
-I need to have a macro that runs every 5 minutes and displays an alert message saying "Please close the File" as long as the file is kept open.
-A second macro with a modified version of the above to close the file automatically after 5 minutes from file opening time after showing an alert message "You cannot leave the File Open, File is Closed Automatically!"
At work we use a spreedsheet to control our holidays. The problem we are having is the file is stored on a network and some people are opening the file and not closeing it once done with, this is locking out others from using it.
Is there any VBA code that will close the file, if not used in say 5 mins
I am using Excel 2003.
It’s been working perfectly up until around an hour ago. However, now when I close Excel, I get compile errors.
These compile errors seem to be because Excel is trying to access controls in the workbook after it has closed. Since the workbook is closed, VBA can no longer ‘see’ the controls, and therefore it thows up errors.
I’m also getting a similar error on a Worksheets("DataExplorer").unprotect line, which seems to be because the worksheet isn’t there after closing.
These errors only occur when I close the whole excel application using the big cross in the top right. If I just close the workbook (using the smaller cross just below the big cross in the top right of excel), it doesn’t throw up these errors.
Just to clarify: all of the code runs perfectly when Excel is open. The errors are being thrown up for lines of code which run without problem until Excel is closed.
I have data that daily needs to be refreshed and printed to pdf.
I figure the simplest way to do this would be to task schedule the workbook to open daily. Then on open it will refresh the data, print it after all data has been refreshed and close the workbook.
I set it up originally without the need to print so I have all the queries set to refresh when opening the file, however when I now try and put the code to print to pdf on the workbook open event it runs before the queries are finished running. (Query notes: queries were created through Microsoft query, and are accessing a MySQL database queries set to refresh when opening the file queries set to enable background refresh).
I have a Macro that is stored in a specific workbook,"Projection Modeler.xls" the last line performed in this macro is the close workbooks without saving chages(this needs to be done due to the way this macro was written, and it would take too long to rewrite). If I would then like to reopen this workbook, and then rerun this macro, can I do this from inside the current macro (in a new sub routine, for instance), or do I have to write a macro outside of the workbook and then open the workbook and call the routine?

I am opening a second workbook in ReadOnly in the Workbook Open and Closing it in the Workbook BeforeClose.
I don't EVER want to save changes on either workbook.
I need to leave excel open as the macro created a 3rd workbook which the user will need.

I have a very brief question
dlgAnswer = Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show
Selection.Copy
Windows("Derivative YK pricing Mod G.xls").Activate
Columns("B:B").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValuesAndNumberFormats, Operation:= _
xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Range("C5").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Windows("EXPORT1.xls").Activate
ActiveWindow.Close
As you can see, I open a workbook with the dlgAnswer, I was wondering how I could close that opened workbook
Currently I have
Windows("EXPORT1.xls").Activate
ActiveWindow.Close
however the workbook will not always be called export1.xls, I want it to close whichever one I opened earlier.
I've created a MsgBox that if you do not respond or Click on it within a set time it will either disappear or perform an action upon no selection. It works great....IF it’s the only excel workbook open. If there is a second workbook open (Even if the second WB is minimized) then the MsgBox just stays up and the "Timer" no longer works. My Code is as Follows:
Sub TimedMsgBox()
Dim Box As Object
Dim varResponse As Variant
Dim Res As Long
Set Box = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
varResponse = Box.Popup(Text:="Which button will you click?", secondstowait:=5, Title:="Click Me!", Type:=vbYesNoCancel)
If varResponse = vbYes Then
MsgBox "You clicked Yes"
ElseIf varResponse = vbNo Then
MsgBox "You clicked No"
ElseIf varResponse = vbCancel Then
MsgBox "You clicked Cancel"
ElseIf varResponse = -1 Then
Res = Box.Popup(Text:="What? Do you not like me?", secondstowait:=5, Title:="You Didn't click Me!", Type:=vbOK)
End If
End Sub
I snagged this code out from another project I wrote, and it works fine in that one, but doesn't in the new project.
What I want, is when the person presses the exit button, it will save whatever was done, its running as a form printer and database. The code below is the code for my exit button.
Private Sub CommandButton4_Click()
Dim sAnswer As String
Dim i As Integer
' ****************
' ** Exit Button**
' ****************
When it gets to "If ActiveWorkbook.Saved = False Then" it does put the question out "Do you want to save changes" I click Yes and it doesn't save it.. I have tried both activeworkbook and thisworkbook ... I copied the code and verified all is good to go..
How can i save and close one workbook in excel with vba code.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow can I make one workbook close another without saving?
These all work in the immediate window, but not in the
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose
I have the below code in a macro attached to a button. Basically, if i choose yes to the message box at the beginning then the macro copies the all the cells on the sheet 'selections', opens up a new workbook, pastes into here, deletes some unused cells, rows and columns, then sends the sheet as an attachment on an e-mail.
What i also need to do is when i have sent the e-mail, the macro closes the new workbook without saving changes.
I know this is the code to close a workbook
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook that contains 4 macros. This workbook is copied by vb.net application with another name. When I run the macro in the copied worksheet, the Original file/workbook is opened automatically, and it is open until the copied workbook is closed.
My question:
1) Is this normal, when a copied workbook invokes a macro from the original workbook, the original workbook opens?
2) Is it possible to close the original workbook while executing the macro from the copied workbook?
3) Will that affect the macro in the copied workbook?
4) If possible to close the original workbook, kindly help me with the code.
I have a sheet that on open looks at the username and determines which tabs can be seen by that user. If macro's are not enabled, I want the sheet to just display sheet 4.
here is the code I have on open that works fine: -
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
If Environ("username") = "Bob" Then
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = True
Sheets("Sheet2").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet3").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet4").Visible = False
Else
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet2").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet3").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet4").Visible = True
End If
End Sub
I have a Workbook_BeforeClose() function that does not, and I am stuck as to why!
Here it is: -
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose()
If Environ("username") = "Bob" Then
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet2").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet3").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet4").Visible = True
ThisWorkbook.Save
Else
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet2").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet3").Visible = False
Sheets("Sheet4").Visible = True
End If
End Sub
So basically after "Bob" is done it will save the sheet with only tab 4 visable. This means that if someone without Macros enabled opens the sheet they can only view tab 4 (I know it isn't password protected in this example, but it will be)

View 9 Replies View RelatedOne of my computers pulls info from my cash register once everyday (sales info). Then I have a excel monthly sales sheet that pulls the info from the register info and puts it in the right places.

Here's my problem-- I need to close it.
I'm sure I could use a workbook close macro, but when it tries to close it won't it come up with a save, don't save, cancel prompt? Nobody will be there to hit SAVE so it won't close? Is there just a macro that could save it then close it?
I have an Excel workbook that runs some code in the back. When I close the workbook file it seems to close OK. However if I then open the VBA editor window I still see the file in the project explorer. If I re-open and then close I have 2 instances in the project explorer... and so on. I have tried setting all objects to nothing etc. but the problem still manifests itself.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI didn't receive a response to a previous post where I was trying to use a batch file to close and open a workbook at a scheduled time everyday. I was thinking about this problem over the weekend, and thought that it would probably be easier to just use a macro to close the file at a certain time everyday (if it is open) and then use a batch file to open the file a couple of minutes later.
I'm having problems with what I thought should be pretty simple though. I tried this to close the file at 5:15pm
I am hoping someone can help. I am new to writing macros and have the following in the this workbook page. When opening the macro does exactly what I want and expect, but does not do the "before close" part. If I select the macro in editor and run it, it does just what I want, so dont understand what is going wrong. Do I have to put in some kind of prompt, or manually run this before close - preferably I would like it to just run.
secondly, I have password protected the workbook, but have to put the password in the macro, is there any way of making this invisible to anyone who then reads the macro....
I call the macro below from a Workbook_BeforeClose sub; however, if the user has not saved changes before they hit the close then the Sub SaveFile runs and then after the backup save they are then asked do you want to save changes.
I initially had this sub run with Workbook_BeforeSave, but I don't really want to run this everytime the user selects save.
Any ideas on how to how the save changes first and then the backup?
I am trying to manipulate some worksheets during a Workbook_BeforeClose event. On sheet names that end with "sd" they need to alphabetize the data and autofit the columns. All sheets should hide on close, except "order". This is what I have but warning - it did something bad to my workbook. I can't get it back again. Had to force close Excel.
