Here's a problem that I having and I'm wondering if someone could give me some insight as to why this is happening.
Hist of Issue:
Most of my projects for my employer are required to run various times of the day and various days of the week. So in order to accomplish this I use the "Digital Signature" to sign my apps so that when setting macro security to Medium they will still run.
When a particular app loads there is a Userform that I created which displays and allows the user to bypass automatic execution. This allows me to be able to work on the workbook without having to abort any automatic executing code. See "MyAutoStart.JPG" for an example of this.
Now somewhere down the line, and I'm not sure when though, up until this point I was living with the problem and now I must solve it. What happens is that I have a project that when it runs and then closes it displays the dialog box which asks for the VBA Project password.
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.
I have a command button code on a sheet that checks if all the cells in a table have been completed before saving the worksheet. If they're not all complete a userform message box pops up with a reminder then returns to the sheet without saving. I want to be able to call this from the 'BeforeClose' event as well however, even though it still does what it's supposed to do, after the userform message box has displayed and been unloaded then it still pops up the Save Dialog box.
I'm struggling to suppress the Save Dialog box and return to the sheet.
I change those files to "VeryHidden". Then I protect the workbook's VBA code by going to Tools->VBAProject- Project Properties-> Protection tab and adding a password. This worked great as it allowed all the other sheets to function as intended, but didn't allow the users to access the sheets that were hidden.
However, we recently upgraded to Excel 2007, and the password protection is stripped whenever the file is saved with the extension .xlsx. I can save it as a "macro-enabled" file with the extension .xlsm, but all that needs to be done to remove the password is to save it with the .xlsx extension again. Is there something that can be done in Excel 2007 to protect VBA code, or am I doing something completely wrong?
I have a workbook with extensive code of wich the VBE project is locked for viewing. Since i have distributed the workbook i had some users that gets prompt for a password when trying to run some code trough a button on a sheet. I have tried recreating this error by increasing the macro security level and unticking "trust access to vbe project" since i thought that is where the problem lies.
But i had no luck in recreating the error. I came accross some posts that had a similar error when you exit/close the workbook, wich was a problem with google desktop search being installed on the machine. Any ideas on why the user is being asked for a password ?, the code that should run does NOT try to alter/change anything in the code/project itself, so that shouldnt be the problem, but i can't think of anything else.
Stumbling over syntax on what should be easy. I want to password protect the active sheet using plain vanilla user input box; and then unprotect ALSO via an input box. Doesn't matter about masking the input with **** or whatever. Based on responses below, here is macro code I used:
To protect the sheet:
Sub ProtectSecurity() Dim pword As String pword = InputBox("Enter Password", "Password") ActiveSheet.Protect pword End Sub --------------------------------- To Unprotect the sheet:
Sub UnprotectSecurity() Dim pword As String pword = InputBox("Enter Password", "Password") ActiveSheet.Unprotect pword End Sub
I have a 2010 excel workbook with several locked worksheet (to which I manage the PW). I and another staff member manage different section of the macro but the other staff member doesn't have access to the locked areas.
Is there a way I can encrypt the password within VBA so it's not visible to the other staff member?
Locking the VBAProject doesn't work as the other staff member has to be able to edit his VBA section.
Many staff run the macro (via a button) and don't need to access the Macro and don't have access to the protected sheets.
I understand excel isn't ideal with PW protection for people wanting to bypass the protection and this isn't an issue.
When I close one excel document, I get prompted for a password.. And it won't close (I don't know the password) The only way I can get it away is by terminating it in task manager. I have read alot of threads in here, where the solutions should be to uninstall Google Desktop..
I have a summary file (I'll call it File A) from which a macro is run. It opens other files, finds a "total line" then copies it into File A. Then it closes that file, opens another, and repeats the process. The macro works fine for most of the files it opens and closes, but on some of them, upon the close command, a dialog box pops up asking "Do you want to save the changes you made to "File B.xls"?
I'm not sure why this comes up as there were no changes made. Cells were only copied and pasted into another file. Is there a way to stop this annoying box from popping up? It slows down the macro by waiting for human input. here is my
I have a table of projects with 1) duration in year, 2) time window (number of years of our planning cycle), and 3) start year of the project. I want to generate a list of project parts of all projects where they may take place. This will serve as an input to an optimization program.
So a project of 2-year duration should have 2 parts over any year within the time window. I am including the "impossible" ones for my developer to tag them as "0" when we run it through his code.
My task is to consolidate 4 Excel Project Lists (Workbooks) to a Master Workbook. The Project Lists has a different structure and almost different content. The relevant information is always on Sheet1 but it has completely different ranges. The only constant is the Project Number, which should be used to sort the information. Every Project should be listed only once with all the existing information.
I found a code written by Ron de Bruin which has already some components that I want to have in my VBA but I think there are still a lot of necessary adjustments to do.
Code: Sub MergeSelectedWorkbooks() Dim SummarySheet As Worksheet Dim FolderPath As String Dim SelectedFiles() As Variant Dim NRow As Long Dim FileName As String Dim NFile As Long Dim WorkBk As Workbook
[code]....
The Master Project List should has the headers in Row1 and the information listed below. The Macro should automatically places the correct information to the correct column. Some of the information are in 2 or more of the lists but they should be listed only once in the Master List.
Project Number
Project Description ... 1111E.000000001
[code]....
I guess a problem is that the structures of the Lists are quite different so there must be a kind of sorting process.
In the end I want to have an Excel File with the Macro and a Command Button and by clicking the Macro creates a new Workbook with the Master List.
It would be better if there is a variable range instead of a defined. Like the Macro searches the last row and starts at this row and column.
I am trying to get excel to open a MS Project file and then run a project macro on it.
What is happen is that when I run my code it works, and then excels VBA window freezes up and the run arrow goes away, and if I try to open project I just get a chiming noise and it won't open.
For now I have to select the MS Project file from a directory, but in the future I would like it to go through the folder and open all of the file in the folder
EXCEL CODE Sub ImportMSProject() Dim FileToOpen Dim mpApp As MSProject.Application Dim prjmacro As Object 'Identify the File to Open - START FileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename("Microsoft Project Files (*.mpp), *.mpp") If FileToOpen = False Then Exit Sub End If 'Identify the File to Open - END
I need to write a couple of functions. Firstly I want to do a count on column B (project $) depending on the criteria on column A (project description). For example a total count of all values in col B if project description is "P" or "A". [I can do sumif functions but this is a countif and I cannot get this right].
I have a userform where I have 2 comboboxes. The first combobox shows the the first column (only 1 of each) and the second comboBox shows me the secondary list that correlates to the valuse in the first from column B. Now I have a text box that I am trying to get the value from column C depending on what I have in the first 2 comboboxes. What is the easiest way to do it? This is all in VB since it is a UserForm, and using Vlookup seems to be too many lines if I go that route. Is there a way to use Index and Match in VB where it would be more efficient? I attached just a sample of how the data would be layed out in the Excel sheet.
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.
When opening a new Excel file, it is asking me for a password to an old excel file that was password protected, which I have deleted from my computer. It is still asking for this password every time I open a new or existing file. When I hit cancel it lets me open the file.
I have a spreadsheet, which has certain worksheets that are password protected. I need to make changes to some of the formulas, and the VBA modules, however I cannot remember the password!! Is there a way of identifying the password??
Range("G7").Select Selection.Copy Workbooks.Open Filename:= _ "Q:PublicPAYMENTS Q&RREPORTSSuspense Activity BUSINESS2008 - Suspense BUSINESS - Activity Reports2008 Avon.xls" Application.CutCopyMode = False ActiveWorkbook.Save ActiveWindow.Close End Sub
When i open the workbook it requires me to insert a password, i tried to type this but excel will not follow keystrokes, i then inserted the password in cell G7 which i then copy and paste, which you can see the copy at the beginning of the macro.
Is there a way where you can get it to insert the password so i can open the workbook in a macro.
What im trying to do is save 26 suspense spreadsheets by just clicking on a macro.
I need to know the command to close a workbook. I have used the information found here: http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/userform-close.htm to disable closing the workbook via the upper right "X", but I need a button that, when clicked, simply closes the workbook instead.
I have a sheet that is password protected. I have this code attached to a command button. It will unlock the worksheet, autofilter it, print it, unfilter it, and password protect the sheet again. However it is protecting it without a password. I need to have it protected with the password so that someone will not be able to just go to tools to unprotect the sheet.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() ActiveSheet.Unprotect "rainforest" Columns("O:O").Select Selection.AutoFilter Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=">0", Operator:=xlAnd ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1 Selection.AutoFilter ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _ , AllowSorting:=True, AllowFiltering:=True End Sub
I'm building my first Add-In, which I'm using to gather all Sub's that I've created through my small VBA writting career. The thing is that when I write new code and some reason exit Excel and forget to save the XLA, obviously the code is lost. I've used:
I'm trying to protect my project so that others can't unhide a sheet I have tagged as veryhidden within VB.
I followed these steps: 1. Select project in the projects window 2. choose Tools 3. Project Properties 4. Protection tab 5. checked lock porject for viewing 6. entered passwords twice 7. clicked ok and saved
On another file this has worked perfectly as I wanted it to.
However on another very large file with multiple VB projects it is not "taking" on the project I need it to.
I can open the file, the VB project and change the setting on any sheet I need to without entering a password.
