VBA Script Stops When The Workbook Is Not Active.
Jan 3, 2010
I work in Excel with a VBA script. The purpose of my script is that every 5 seconds a procedure will be executed. This works well. If my workbook is not active, it does not work. Or when I work with another workbook. Or when I work with another program. Then the script will stop to execute. It looks like a break. I have tried several scripts that have the same effect. I want the script continues normally with execution.

I have joined out of desperation relating to a problem with an Active X control inserted into a userform. This control accesses and returns data from an instrument on the RS232 PC comms port. All works well until I try to save, copy or print the workbook using usual VBA code, then mysteriously the code just stops, and Excel needs to be restarted again. It seems to just get lost!

I am a novice at excel macro programming. My Excel 2000 macro inexplicably stops after the line: Workbooks.Open Filename:=stAddrFullname, ReadOnly:=True
1) I know that the remainder of the code is not executed because a breakpoint on the following line is never reached.
2) I know that this line is executed because the stAddrFullname workbook is clearly opened and is displayed when the code stops prematurely.
3) No error message is displayed and I have no 'OnError' instructions in the code.
4) (This is the bit I really don't understand). If I put a Breakpoint in the macro anywhere in the function preceding the "Workbooks.Open" statement, the macro reaches the Breakpoint and then runs through to completion with no problem. When I remove the breakpoint, it reverts to stopping as soon as it has opened the Workbook.
5) The stAddrFullname workbook has no macros in it.

I have a bunch of workbooks that are used to capture information about implants used in surgical cases. I use a small VBA process each morning to update a querytable which contains all of the core patient information for future cases, however it is not working properly. The code goes through the process OK, or so it appears, opens and closes each sheet, and saves them appropriately, but the query table doesn't seem to refresh no matter what I do.
Sub RevisedRefresh()
Dim lCount As Long
Dim wbResults As Workbook
Dim wbCodeBook As Workbook
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.EnableEvents = False
On Error Resume Next
Set wbCodeBook = ThisWorkbook
With Application.FileSearch
.NewSearch
.LookIn = "G:SHSTheatreCommonReceptionImplants"
.FileType = msoFileTypeExcelWorkbooks
If .Execute > 0 Then
For lCount = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
Set wbResults = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=.FoundFiles(lCount), UpdateLinks:=0)...............................

I have a simple list of data (Name, Room, etc.) in a spreadsheet. Each day I click on the spreadsheet tab and create a "copy" and (move to end). This creates a spreadsheet for the next day's data.
My problem is that the macro I use to sort this data never works in the newly created spreadsheet within the same workbook. As usual, I'm sure it is something relatively simple that I am overlooking.

I've been using the following code to bring in individual cell values from one closed workbook to an active one. I would like to modify this is possible to bring in multiple cells at once and also pull them into a different worksheet in the active workbook. Basically, my command button is on Sheet1 but I'd like the data to pull into a cell on Sheet2.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
With Range("Q9")
.Formula = "='C:Users[Workbook Name.xlsm]Worksheet Name'! N27"
.Value = .Value
End With

I run a model in Excel that automatically saves my file every xx iterations. After saving the file I want to make a backup of the file. Tried
[Code] .....
but get a permission denied error message.
I don't want to use .SaveAs as it is a huge file that takes a while to save and SaveAs has a tendency to break links that should not be broken..

I have some vba that opens a closed workbook, copies data from a named range and then pastes it to the active workbook.
However, what is happening is that the closed workbook is opened and only part of the data is pasted. What I would prefer to happen is this:
Open the closed workbook-->copy the named range-->paste(append) to next empty cell in column B.
Heres the code that I have got.
Sub Workbook_test()Dim wb As Workbook
Application.ScreenUpdating = False ' turn off the screen updating
Set wb = Workbooks.Open("G:WAREHOUSEPlanningSmartNew Training Plan raining plan.xls", True, True)

I have a workbook that is a formatted report that I need to insert data from a name variable "CSV" file. I have created a macro in this workbook that calls an "Open" dialog for CSV files that I can use to browse to and open the source file. The macro then is supposed to "select all" copy and close the workbook then make the original workbook active and paste the data starting at row 2. The macro "seems" to be working perfectly except when I do the open the macro then makes the original workbook active, selects all copies then wants to close the original workbook. How can I tell the macro that the csv file that I just opened should be the active workbook, baring in mind that the name won't be known before the time it's opened so I can't hardcode the "active. workbook (NAME) "route.

I have an add-in (MyAddin.xla) that is called from my open_workbook event in my workbook (MyBook.xls):
Private Sub workbook_open()
AddIns("MyAddin").Installed = False
AddIns("MyAddin").Installed = True
ThisWorkbook.Activate
Run "MyAddIn.xla!WbookOpen"
End Sub
I put this in my WbookOpen procedure:
Sub WbookOpen(pWorkbook As Workbook)
MsgBox "Wbook Open Active workbook is " & ActiveWorkbook. Name
End Sub
The message displayed is:
Wbook Open Active workbook is MyAddin.xla
I thought this would be:
Wbook Open Active workbook is MyBook.xls.

Copy the active sheet that is open in a work book and save it to another file with the date in the name? For example Report_11-03-08.xls
The only problem I see with this. How could I also make it append a letter to report if the file already exits Example saved as
Report1_11-03-08.xls. Then just continue incrementing.
Sub CopySave()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ActiveSheet.Copy
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveSheet.SaveAs Filename:=ThisWorkbook.Path & "/" & "Report_" & Format(Date, "mm_dd_yy") & ".xls"
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

I have this script below that removes all code from the active workbook. The reason I am removing all the code is because I am running code from my personal library and the code changes the worksheet I am working with.So while stepping through I noticed it moves over to the sheet change sub routine from the active workbook that I am working on.
So I tried to remove all the code from the Active workbook but after I remove all the code it returns a expected end of sub error, where the old worksheet change sub was? but no code is in the entire workbook? So I tried to enter something in the blank sheet mod and it returns a (Cant Edit Module) error.

An Excel file is e-mailed to my company for all the credit card transactions in a given day. Because we manage many stores and each store is a different legal entity and a different fiscal year ending, I need my macro to sort the information and separate the transaction by store and by fiscal year end. I just hit my first block.
I need to open a workbook off the server to grab information for a vlookup formula. I can get the workbook open, but I can't get back to the original workbook or find a way to reactivate it. Because the macro is going to be saved in the "personal" workbook, I can't use the "thisworkbook.activate" code. Also the workbook name and tab name that is emailed to me will always be different so I can't use other solutions that I've seen posted.

With first code user selects a sheet from drop down and that sheet is activated. (This works fine)
Now hide all other sheets is what I'm trying to do with the second code. (This IS NOT working)
I assume I can either put the second code in the change event code or call it from the change event code once it works.
Code:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address "$A$1" Or Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
[Code].....

Sub display_all_false()
With Application
.DisplayGridlines = False

.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = False
.DisplayWorkbookTabs = False
.DisplayFormulaBar = False
.DisplayStatusBar = False
.ShowWindowsInTaskbar = False
.CommandBars("Standard").Visible = False
.CommandBars("Formatting").Visible = False
.CommandBars("Control Toolbox").Visible = False
.CommandBars("Drawing").Visible = False

End Sub
But, when I run the code, seems there're run-time errors detected at these codes:
.DisplayGridlines = False
.DisplayHeadings = False
.DisplayOutline = False
.DisplayZeros = False
.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = False
.DisplayWorkbookTabs = False
1. Is there any way to correct these codes?
2. Does the bolded codes applied to ActiveWindow (Worksheet) only (eg. With ActiveWindow ...)? Can I change it to ActiveWorkbook (perhaps)?
3. Can the command menus (File Edit View Insert Format ...) be hidden also?
4. Does looping method for each worksheet
