Variables That Will Retain Value After Workbook Closes?
Aug 5, 2014
I need to create a variable that will be TRUE/FALSE based upon whether the user has made changes to a certain range without running a specific macro. Basically, if they change cells in a certain range, the 'Update' macro must be run. I want this variable to be False if the cells have changed without running 'Update' and then when 'Update' runs, it sets the variable back to True.
I've been able to make this work with a Public variable, but if the user closes the workbook, the variable resets to False. Is there a way to create a variable that will be remember even if the workbook closes?

I have a central workbook that relies on data from other workbooks during the various calculations. I am trying to write some code so that when a user closes the central workbook, all of the other workbooks close as well. I have added my code to the thisWorkbook code, but this does not seem to work. Here is an example of the code. The object is to look for a workbook called Import_Sheet5 and to close it if it is open.
Private Sub Workbook_Close()
Dim Wb As Workbook
Dim sSought As String
sSought = UCase(wbName)
For Each Wb In Application.Workbooks
If wbName = Import_Sheet5 And InStr(Wb. Name, wbName) Then
Wb.Activate
Wb.Close SaveChanges:=False
End If
Next
End Sub

I can delete Sheet5 using this macro. I would like to put this in the workbook so that when I close the workbook it will be activated if Sheet5 exists. If Sheet5 does not exist nothing will happen.
Sub DeleteSheet5 ()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Sheets("Sheet5").Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub
how to mark the post as solved other than go advanced and selecting solved from the drop down menu can you tell me how?

I'm wondering if it is possible to declare a constant in an add in, and then reference that constant from workbooks that use that add in?
Basically I want to set a version number in the add in, and check it from the workbook.

I have a macro running in a workbook that gathers some data (a date, a string and a few arrays). Towards the end of this macro, I need it to open another workbook and run a macro that sits in this other workbook, using the data from the first workbook. I then need it to return some results (several integers) back to the first macro to be pasted into the first workbook.
I gather that I can't use 'Call' as the second macro is in another workbook.
I've found that I can use Application.Run but I'm unsure how to carry variables back and forth using this.
How to move the variables between macros / workbooks using the Application.Run option, or maybe another way of doing things?

I am trying to use VB to vlookup between to workbooks
1. Make active workbook WBK1
2. Make workbook being open WBK2
3. Copy and Paste between WBK1 and WBK2
4. Have a vlookup in WBK1 and bring in the values from WBK2
5. Close WKB2
6. Copy, Paste, and transpose values in wkb1 within wkb1
The script works fine until it reaches the vlookup step. I have used the vlookup by itself without the copy and paste code successfully but when I combine the two it provides me with the error 9. Subscript out of range.

I have a simple list of about 4 hundred addresses. Like most US Address, they all start with a street number, for example 1234 Main St. What I would like to do is have a cell where I can type some of the address, maybe just the number itself, and another cell with search the array for all possible matches. So if I type is my criteria cell 1234, I will ahve a result cell that displays 1234 Main St. And if there are multiple address witht he nubmers 1234, such as 1234 Main St. and 1234 Poplar Grove Rd. and 1234 Bennington Ln then I would like for my result cell(s) to display all possible matches. Does anyone know an easy(ish) way I can do this with formulas?

I have 1 main userform and I need to open another userform using a command button from within that 1st form. The 2nd userform appear right in front of the 1st userform. When the 2nd userform is closed either via VBA or clicking on X, it closes both forms.
why this happens and how I can make only the 2nd form close when it is finished with?

I do not want ThisWorkBook to close prematurely whenever the specified Activeworkbook is closed without saving because there are other tasks to complete. The Workbook_BeforeClose dun seem to fix it for my case below.
Here’s my situation. I want to copy data from a range of a particular protected sheet in 5 (password-protected) workbooks of a similar format, to 5 worksheets(unprotected) in ThisWorkBook, which is the Master Workbook. The password of the protected sheet is common to the 5 workbooks. The passwords of the 5 workbooks are contained in a sheet in ThisWorkbook. After copying the data from Workbook1 ( 1 of 5), ThisWorkbook are prompted for closure, when Workbook1 is closed without saving. Responding to the prompt to save or not to save, forces ThisWorkbook or MasterWorkbook to break the For-Next loop. By setting Cancel = True in Workbook_BeforeClose, I can stop Thisworkbook from closure, but I will still break the For-Next loop. I have considered the method of copying data from a closed workbook, but I dun think VBA allows copying or referencing a closed workbook which is password protected at workbook and worksheet level.
Here’s my coding :
Sub UpdateMaster()
Dim MasterWB As Workbook
Dim TempWB As Workbook
Dim Source As String
Set MyWB = ThisWorkbook
For i = 1 to 5
Set TempWB = Workbooks.Open (Filename:=WB(i), Password:=password(i) )
TempWB.Sheets("ProtectedSheet").Unprotect Password:="SheetPasswd"
MyWB.Sheets(i).Range(XXX).Value = TempWB.Sheets("ProtectedSheet").Range(YYY)
TempWB.Close False ‘dun want to respond toclose ThisWorkbook else it breaks for-next loop
Next i
Application.Quit.
End Sub

Userform Loading with database turns to close all Excelworkbooks completely
Database created in Excel worksheets to load and show in various different objects on userform. At present this project file size is approximately 2.5 mb and more to go as it is not yet complete. Now you can imagine how much big this project can be.
It uses various different types of objects such as listboxes with many columns, combo-boxes, textbox, checkbox and many. Every objects has its own style to display data on userform which is set in its properties itself.
Before loading userform to display, program creates database from manual entry (which is made by user on their working sheets) to database entry sheets (which is made to make compatible to show on userform). Upon loading, it also loads/populate all datas required in their objects to display.
All works perfect when I am in editing mode. It doesn't matter how big the database can be and works as required. This Project is now Password Protected and distributed among all staffs in our company to work with.
Error Occurs, when I tested in non-editing mode. The moment I triggered the macro to load the program, it takes some few times and pops-up with Excel Recover error message box asking whether to send Error Report and to whether recover & start Excel application again??
I don't know what is wrong. Sometimes it also run successfully when in non-editing mode even there is no changes in program codes.??
Sometimes I feel there can be a virtual memory issue, but my Pc is more than enough with 1GB ram. I hv also increased virtual memory limits and tested but all vain attempt...

This code appears to do opposite of what I intended i.e., when I click 'Yes' button it closes the file without saving; and when I click 'No' button it closes the file with saving?
Private Sub btnExitNewPipes_Click()
If MsgBox("Save the Data?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "File Save") = vbYes _
Then ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges = True
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges = False

my excel sheet runs through a lot of calculations, opens Flowmaster, a simulations program, passes on data, receivs data and so on. Is there any way to have a user input to stop the whole simulation. During the first tries I had a lot of break point in my debugger. But now I want to have a button to hit or better just some keys to hit to stop it without using the ctrl+alt+del which closes everything.

I am building a large Userform and I am going back to edit some of the controls (renaming, resizing, etc). The problem is, after editing, the changes don't stick. I can open another module and then open the form again and the changes will be gone. I can save Excel, close the file, and open it again, and the changes will be gone.

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 need a solution so that each day I can get a value from a single cell but it appears in a new column each day.
eg, A1 contains a numerical value (based on a formula)
Each day there is a new column, say, Monday = B1, Tuesday = C1 etc.
On Monday B1 takes the value of A1 and 'freezes' the value in B1
On Tuesday C1 takes the value of A1 and 'freezes' the value in C1, but the value in B1 remains as it was when it was originally frozen.

I have a quantity column on an inventory sheet which automatically updates the available quantity based on sales from a sales sheet. But I need to know the date the quantity reached zero.
That date would always be "today," on the day the quantity = 0, but how do I make the date NOT update to "todays date" on the next day, and the next, etc. It needs to stay as the date that 0 qty was reached.
