I want to run an event for specific user. In this case, only John Doe should be able to run this command. It works fine if i put john doe in there and i get the MSGBOX since my windows log in is not John doe. But when I put my windows login there (and only I can run it), i dont get any msgbox or the rest of the command does not run..

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am after increasing the number of allowed users that can log onto a form. Currently I have used someone elses code, but that seems to only allow 1 userID to be able to log in. I am not after making the sheet into Fort Knox, just a simple UserID so I know who hasd made any changes.

If txtuserid.Value = ActiveSheet. Range("b100").Value Then

We have an excel file that I've developed that people in our department are supposed to be using - not that they want to - but it is an edict from our bosses. Is there a way to track who is actually using that file so I can verify that they are using it rather than just relying on them saying that they are?
View 9 Replies View RelatedAlthough I'm able to write UDFs and distribute addins, one thing I've found is that if you use a UDF formula on a sheet on one machine, save it, then open it on another, Excel doesn't automatically look in the local .xla for the formula. In fact it tries to find it on the network (expecting to locate the originating user's machine, I suspect) and then throw a strop....
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a sheet which has many columns in it, all columns are protected except column B. When I want to enter data always I have to insert a column in column B. When I clicked insert button, my B column move to C and B column become protected and C become unprotected. My query is always I want B column should be protected (even if i clicked on insert column button too).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook that is linked to 2 text files and updates just fine for me but when someone else opens it it does not calculate the new information just keeps the old. New text files are ran from our database to excel every night. When the workbook is opened the formulas should recalculate based on the updated info in the text files. Problem is when I open the file it performs perfectly and updates as it is supposed to but when my colleague opens the file it is not updating and does not show the new updates. I have checked to make sure the calculation is set to automatic. I have also confirmed that we are both working with 2003 version. I even had her open the text files and close and reopen the workbook and no go. I hat her do ctrl+alt+f9, even ctrl+alt+shift+f9. Had her click on the function, hit enter and nothing. Even tried find and replace = with = to wake up excel and nada.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWe use a spreadsheet for developing loans. I can open and print all of them just fine and so can almost all of the other employees. We have two people, though, that have the margins change when they open them. I can open it and have it be just fine, close it, they open the exact same file and see changed margins.
How to change that. I don't want them to have to do it on each spreadsheet. I am looking for a complete, one-time-only fix.
I am looking for a code to let users select an excel file like File Manager.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have created some macros and assigned shortcut keys. The workbook is shared by other users. I want to keep these macros from being accessible to other users. I know that they can go to ToolsMacros and display the names of macros and run them. How can I prevent them from accessing the ToolsMacros? Or can I assign password to individual macros?
If I put the macros in individual sheets as Private, they don't show up on the ToolsMacros list, but then I can't assign shortcut keys.
can we use excel workbook by many users at same time ?.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a place where all our documents are stored. We have a log where we all log in what we're working on. Our trouble is, if one person has it opened nobody else can add their items to it. Is there anyway to have multiple people be able to open and enter their work for the day, save and close it out?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have made an integrated timesheet for everyone at work. Problem is, people will be funny-beggers, and want to password protect their workbooks.
I want to be able to prevent EVERYONE from creating passwords to protect their workbook.
I've created a model that uses an add-in to calculate otherwise cumbersome formulas, and 4 or so people need to access this model at any given time. It's saved (along with the add-in) in a public folder on our network drive. Everyone is able to access the model, and is able to load the add-in directly from that folder, but the cells that use the add-in point to where the add-in is stored locally on my drive (C:Documents and SettingsmeApplication DataMicrosoftAddIns) and thus they are not able to use the add-in functions without redirecting every reference to me with references to their add-ins (basically just by finding and replacing every 'me' with 'them' in those cells at this point). So I guess what I'm wondering is how do I make it so the add-in is 'universal' (instead of local) such that as long as each user has the add-in loaded they can fire up the model and use the needed functions.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI inherited an application that a co-worker deployed as an add-in to Excel and now need to change it.
I am able to find the code in the macro to change but I do not know how to update the add-in and deploy it to other users. And naturally there it does not have any included documentation.
I need to allow my users to insert rows, however I have Data valadation lists that would be affected by the insert.
Is there a way that I can lock the spreadsheet so that they have to highlight the cells and then insert the row but NOT allow them to highlight the entire row then insert?
I am creating a userform and would like to be able to automatically enter the name of the person using it. The way our network is set up is Username = 1st 5 letters of surname + 1st 2 letters of forename. Due to this i cannot use
Function UserNameWindows() As String
UserName = Environ("USERNAME")
End Function
as this returns the login name as opposed to the full name. I also cannot use
Function UserNameOffice() As String
UserNameOffice = Application.UserName
End Function
due to the fact that the office settings are defaulted to "Any Authorised User" unless manually updated by the user.
The users full name is displayed at the top of the start menu, but I have so far not been able to find a way to pull that into my form.
Is there a way to hide rows in VBA a la "VeryHiddenSheet" so that the row disappears without the blue line, etc. showing as you would when done manually in Excel?
View 8 Replies View RelatedRight now, I've this pop up box which prompts users for passwords and user name for log in. They are two main users : Admin and User. Admin is the user which is allowed to see all sheets. While User is only restricted to user interface sheets.
The problem is for the "User" I want to restrict a view in the sheet
"ELEMENT". I wish to hide columns L to AI if "User" logs in. But if "Admin" logs in, I want no columns hidden. Everything must be visible.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Sheets("Main").Select
Dim strUser As String, strPword As String, strWs As String
Dim w As Worksheet, c As Range, r As Range
strUser = Me.TextBox1.Value
strPword = Me.TextBox2.Value
Select Case strUser
Case "User"
If strPword = "User" Then
Sheets("SMXINVENTORY").Visible = xlSheetVisible
Sheets("SMVINVENTORY").Visible = xlSheetVisible
Sheets("SMIINVENTORY").Visible = xlSheetVisible
Sheets("SMF1INVENTORY").Visible = xlSheetVisible..............
Is there are a formula that will result in showing the users name in a selected cell?
I was wondering if someone know how to creat multi users in a password protection that I got from RoyUK Password/User Name Attempt Count. this works great but i'm haveing proble with the multi users oh and I was wondering if it was possible to have the user have limited visiblity to certian parts of the workbook.
Is there a structure inside of Excel which keeps track of all the actions taken by a user (something that would presumably be used to allow for an undo sequence)? If so, is there a way to get access to it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've written a VBA add-in containing a couple of custom functions and a couple of right-click menu items. I read somewhere that the best approach is to keep them all in one add-in as this will reduce the load time. Need the best way (if there is a way) of adding a checkbox menu so that people can choose which functions/menu items to install (so that it's a sub-menu system of the main add-in menu)?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 2 sheets, one with users and a tool they have been using, and one with a list of unique users, I would like to count how many unique users are using a tool. The sheets are set up like so,
Sheet 1
User Tool (number of uses)
abcdefg 1
hijklmn 5
1234567 1
1234567, abcdefg, opqurst 2
wxyz123 0
Sheet 2 Have they used the tool
abcdefg
hijklmn
1234567
wxyz123
opqurst
So yes, I am trying to count whether or not the unique users have used the tool, this is a simplifed version as my data set runs into the thousands. I was using the countifs function, but that doesnt count properly if theres more than one user in the group.
Is it possible to allow access to multiple users on one spreadsheet but they can only access one tab at a time each?
prevent multiple changes for the same thing.
Is there is any way we can protect sheet in such a way that; if user - Mr. A inputs his password he can only go and is able to input his data in sheet 1.
I've a file which have multiple sheets say about 80 tabs are present. My colleague only works on one of the tab (sheet) enters data, that file is placed on our general sharing folder I want to know if it is possible that I can assign protection in such a way that when she enters her password she is able to input data only on the sheet in which she works and cannot roam around to other sheets?
Or is it possible that on first sheet there is username or password can appear? And if the data inputting person opens that file and enter her password option appear which can take her to that particular sheet? And if a guest open that file he/she can only view particular sheets which contain reports?
This site provides a partial answer to my problem- http://www.j-walk.com/ss/excel/tips/tip98.htm
That link worked for me but there's a problem with it, it does not work if a table has different types of validations.
I need a way to protect my worksheet from any changes but allowing the users to edit certain cells (eg. allowing users to enter data only into columns A-G).
