VBA Code Opens File In Compatibility Mode?
Jan 3, 2013
I have written a macro to loop through files and subfolders to open a specific file for a specific month. I extract the datasets for every excel file into a master template. The code works flawlessly when all of the files have the .xlsm extension. However, I need to open .xls file formats also. When my code opens the first .xls file, named "Staffing Plan.xls" it opens it and automatically makes it "Staffing Plan1 [Compatibility Mode]. I can't open the file in the original "Staffing Plan.xls" file format to read data from. How can I fix this?

A client has sent me an Excel workbook that appears on the screen with the message adivising that it is Protected View as a result of having been downloaded from the internet. If I click on the Enable Editing button the workbook is completely deactivated. I have played around with my Trust Centre settings but nothing seems to work.

I currently have the following code that copies a range opens notepad pastes the range opens save dialog and types the file name. The problem I have is with overwriting the existing file.
Range("A1:A202").Select
Selection.Copy
Shell "notepad.exe", vbNormalFocus
SendKeys "^V"
SendKeys "^s"
SendKeys "Total_IEDs_Hour_Of_Day_2009.xml"
SendKeys "{TAB}"
SendKeys "a"
SendKeys "{ENTER}"
Everything works fine to this point. Then it opens the do you want to overwrite dialog and I cant get it to hit yes.

We are using Excel 2007.
I have a macro enabled spreadsheet and I need to save one sheet into a new file that is in xls format. I can do that --- is there anyway to suppress the Compatibility Checker box to make it that much easier?
The new file will not have macros as will just be a data in rows and columns so compatibility. Interesting is the compatibility checker box says there are links to the original spreadsheet, but I can't find them in the connections menu.

I've created one file, that acts as a launching file. It does several things, including environment validation, and downloading new files from a web repository, etc... Once it has done everything it needs to do, it launches a 2nd file (the main user input file - which is tied to an external DB), fires the start-up routine in that 2nd file, then quietly gets out of the way.
This all works perfectly, unless the 2nd file gets closed before the start-up routine is finished. (this could happen for several reasons, including invalid login credentials). I've oversimplified the issue below: ...

I have a .txt file created in Notepad and it contains a 4 digit number (Job ID). I am recieving the dreaded "Bad File Mode" (#54) error when writing back the file.
I would like to OPEN it as R/W locked, read it, increment it by 1 and write it back. Am perfectly willing to create the .txt as non-binary if that is causing the issue.
Dim jinChar As String
fileNumber = FreeFile()
jinFP = "JIN.txt"
Open jinFP For Binary Access Read Write Lock Read Write As #fileNumber
Input #fileNumber, jinChar
jobIDNumber = CInt(jinChar)
jobIDNumber = jobIDNumber + 1
jinChar = CStr(jobIDNumber)
Write #1, jinChar
Close #fileNumber

This is a follow-on to a great solution provided by Shg and Rylo. Here is the link. http://www.excelforum.com/excel-prog...new-sheet.html
My users have run in to an interesting issue with the file. Each time the files opens it has the same 5 questions selected. What I need the code to do is randomize the questions each time the sheet is opened. Basically, the users seem to have a problem using the "make quiz" button, so they have requested that I make sure that the quiz randomizes each time it is opened.

I have a function which selects a file and opens it.It is part of a code.
Sub Cpy()
' Macro recorded 1/16/2007 by PZCHFR
Set PresentWorkBook = ActiveWorkbook
FSel
Findlastusedrow
Cpy_Name
getmonth
End Sub
Function FSel()
filetoopen = Application. GetOpenFilename("Document Files (*.xls), *.xls", 1)
'Workbooks.Open Filename:=filetoopen
'Set OpenedWorkBook = Application.Workbook(filetoopen)
Set OpenedWorkBook = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=filetoopen)
End Function
When the user does not select any file and clicks "cancel" in the dialog box,this gives me runtime error .How do i make the code correct so as to handle the case where there is no file selected.

I need a code that will automatically run my first macro. The first macro already calls all the others. I just need everything to run as soon as someone opens the file.

why the below code opens files as read only? What this code does is open all worksheets, in four different folders, whose filenames include the desired date. For example, if i want all worksheets for the 19th, then K117819, k127819, k217819 and K226119 all open. Except they open as read-only which requires saving to a different location and then renaming - which sort of defeats the time saving reason for running the code in the first place.
Public Sub Auto_Open()
Dim sCurFile As String
Dim sPath As String
Dim mpath As String
MsgBox "This tool will print all four production lines line report total sheet for any month and day in 2007"
mpath = InputBox("Enter the month i.e. 01 for January", "print")
fpath = InputBox("Enter day of the month to print (use leading 0's)?", "print")
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.AskToUpdateLinks = False
'Get the path
sPath = "t:2007" & mpath & "k11"...............

I have the following code saving a copy of a spreadsheet as a backup every 30 minutes. The problem is the save code is running as soon as the file is opened. I want to save only after the file has been open for 30 minutes. The way it is now if I open the sheet up and something is wron the backup has already been overwritten by the messed up sheet. Will someone please let me know what needs changed to eliminate the inital running of the code?
Sub do_something()
sec = 1800
when = Now + sec / 60 / 60 / 24
Application.OnTime when, "do_something"
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ThisWorkbook.SaveCopyAs "S:QUALITYTest Results Spread SheetBackup of Riser MezRiser Mez backup.xls"
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

I have a VBA script that has been running fine for months on one computer. Today, I ran it on another computer and it opened files in read only mode which disrupted everything.
The file open command is the following:
Workbooks.Open Filename:=sourcePath & sourceFileName
I searched the entire project and appended ", readonly:=false" to every open command. So, the command became
Workbooks.Open Filename:=sourcePath & sourceFileName, readonly:=false
Still, Excel opened the file in read only mode as seen in the title bar (filename [read-only]).
If I double-clicked on the file and opened it, it's NOT in read only mode. I checked the property of the file. It is NOT read only.

Is it possible to set the default page to open when clicking the file button? In particular, I use the recents feature a lot but never have I looked at the information on the information page. Everytime I click the file button I have to then select recents which is annoying.

Normally open a file will tell me who have using it , but it show wrongly person although the person has not open the file. worse that 1 day only show 1 person name.

I put together about 10 separate macros that will log you into a site using the values in a given cell. I was having trouble with the last one because of AutoComplete remembering the username. So I put in an IF statement, and when I used F8 to go line for line, it works perfectly. However, when I click F5 and just let it play through, it doesn't log in. I tried adding a 5 second delay, but that didn't seem to work. I still get a run-time error when I hit play.
It get hung on this line:
Code:
If doc.getElementById("user_name").Value = cUsername Then
But the complete code is this:
Code:
Sub StreetLinks_Login()
'On Error Resume Next
Dim cURL As String
cURL = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B9").Value
[Code] ..........

I have a spreadsheet created in Excel 2003. All the non-entry cells are locked. When I protected the sheet I ticked the option for the auto filter to work. The problem is when I send the spreadsheet to my user - she uses Excel 2000. The auto-filter buttons do not work for her but they do work for me. Is there anyway round this? I need to have the sheet locked (apart from the entry cells) but I also need the auto filter function. I've attached the spreadsheet I'm talking about. The protection password is set to "password"

I have a two sets of data, from two different programs (Excel and Access), were the dates are not compatible with each other in vlookop in excel. The problem seems to be in the decimals of the datevalues, which I have been trying to solve the problem in various ways. The only thing I can get to work is to trunc the dates to get rid of flawed decimals somewhere in the end of the datevalue.
My question to you is how many decimals I should use when I trunc in order to keep the right date in the format of (yy-mm-dd hh:mm). So far, 10 have proven unsuccessful (=trunc(A2,10)), but 8 seems to work. I wonder if I can decrease that number even more and still keep the format above?

Currently I am working on a workbook where I am using a Save As VBA to create a folder and rename the file. The following code seems to be working fine so far with Excel 2007. Is there a way to confirm that it will work with all other versions of Excel and that my DesktopFolderPath String will work on all users machines?
In addition to these concerns, I am trying to avoid any Runtime Errors and currently, the Compatability Alert is the only thing I can see that is creating one. When it displays, in the event the user is unsure what to do, as most of our field staff is, and they select "Cancel" it displays the error Run Time Error.jpg. Can the Compatibility Alert be disabled? If so where do i add it in my code.

I have a spreadsheet where I want to require certain fields to be completed then I want to have that file auto emailed. I have learned that I do need to have the file saved before sending otherwise the data will not appear in the email, so with this I want to have the file temporarily saved emailed then the temp file deleted.
Here is the code I have so far but it errors on the blue text, I did change the TempFileName from = "Copy of " & wb1.Name & " " & Format(Now, "dd-mmm-yy h-mm-ss") to = [C16] & "_" & [B6] & "_" & [D6]
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
If Range("B6").Value = "" Or _
Range("d6").Value = "" Or _
Range("f6").Value = "" Or _
Range("E9").Value = "" Or _
[Code] ......
