Viewing A Hidden File
Jan 23, 2007
I am not sure why but when I opened a particular file, the file hides somewhere in Excel. I am unable to view the file but when I try to open the same file again, Excel prompts that the file is already open but I can't see the file.This is an important file at work and I am not sure how to actually get to view the file. I tried copy and pasting the file in another location and then trying to open in Excel. However, the same thing happened.There is no error message.The file is opened but I am unable to view, as it seems to hide from view.Is there a solution?

is it possible that when i open a .csv file in excel i can make it only display some of the columns? The program i am using exports more info then i need and it gets very tiresome to delete each column manually.

I have been sent a file that has been zipped. I am trying to open it so that I can see all the data. So I have extracted it and opened it in EXCEL my problem is that I get an error message 'File not loaded Completely' and I am only able to view 65 536 (the max records) in my EXCEL doc but I need to see the rest of the file. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Can you get Excel to open another Excel file linked to the first automatically (preferably hidden and read only) in the background ?

I created a macro and saved it into the Personal.xls file and originally the file stayed hidden whenever I ran the macro. I changed a setting somewhere and now when I run the macro the file opens up and stays open until I close it.
How can I have the file stay hidden when I run the macro?

I have an excel file which is in windows explorer has its property set to hidden.
I have another excel file, with some Vba in it, which opens the hidden file, inserts some data into it, saves the file and closes it.
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWorkbook.Close
This all works, except that the hidden property is lost in the process.
Is there a way of saving the file, and keeping the hidden property? This is just so that users cant see the file and accidently open it.

I have Excel Sheet that open with user name and password.
Like if it's open my Admin - he can view all Sheets
If open by any user - it opens only users sheet.
Problem is once file is saved by any users, all hidden files get unhidden and Admin Sheet is open.
Requirement: if User1 saves file other sheets should not get unhidden.

I am trying to format all cells on all sheets (hidden or otherwise) as "Locked" so when the sheets are protected the user can't see the formulas. This macro individually selects every sheet in the book and applys the formatting. Is there a way to modify this code to accomplish the same thing without having it actually select every sheet? The only reason it is an issue is that after running the macro you end up on the last sheet in the book.

i am using the macro below to get excel to hide all sheets but the one called "open"...
PHP
Sub savemini()
ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect "letmein"
For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If Not sh.Name = "open" Then sh.Visible = xlVeryHidden
Next sh
ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub
So the workbook is protected with the password "letmein", and the VB code above in theory should unlock the workbook, allowing all visible sheets to be hidden with the exception of the sheet called "open". Then is saves the file.
Now heres the odd bit... it works for certain people, but not for others. I have made sure those it wont work for are not doing anything weird and they are not.
The workbook i am using has a code that only opens certain sheets for certain users. I as a master user have access to all sheets. I can go into the users sheets and click the button that activates the macro above myself and it works fine, but for some users it wont work.

I have this code that first selects a sheet (data) and then imports a csv-fil to the data sheet.
I want to hide the data sheet and the the code doesn't work.
How do I change the import code so that I do not select the sheet?
[Code] ......
I believe it should be something like this: With Sheets("DATA").QueryTables. Add..... but I am not aware of the syntax.

I do not want to send each rep a file only with their own sales figures as this will be very time consuming. If I could send one file to all representatives but restrict their view to their own figures only, this would make life much easier. If necessary I can set up passwords for them.

I have a semi-large macro which I have been creating on and off for a few months now. The file will fundementally be used by people with little knowledge of Excel, hence I force the user down certain alleyways depending on what they have previously done with the aid of veryhidden sheets and such like.
Upon opening the file, some code is ran to hide all of the sheets in the file apart from the home page. This is a pain when I am still working on the code though, so a portion of it is commented out. When I uncomment the "on error.. - next sheetIn" so that the file runs as it would be used, the code itself works perfectly and hides all of the sheets apart from the home page. Unfortunately, I can't then view the VBA code as it instantly crashes Excel (and any other Excel file I currently have open). This happens whether I click the Visual Basic button in the Excel ribbon, whether I try and access it through the design mode on a control, pressing Alt+F11 or even opening up another spreadsheet containing code and attempting to click on the broken macro after viewing the VBA code for the working spreadsheet.
VB:
Sub workbook_open()
'stop screen flickering whilst running the code
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
[Code]....
The only way currently to get back into the code is to open the spreadsheet up with macros disabled and recomment the code, but obviously this loses the function of the code.

I have large workbook with various sheets. In my first worksheet I have some command buttons that call each sheet as needed. However, I would like each sheet to be displayed either as a web page or in a way that the user does not see all of the menus, bars and so on.

I'm trying to open a .xlsm on an Android tablet with only OfficeSuite installed. Initially, that didn't work. After installing a DocumentsToGo application, it shows me my spreadsheet, but none of the .jpg's that are visible in the original file. I copied all .jpg's to the tablet; both the .xlsm and the folder with the pictures are in the same parent folder, to simulate the original folder structure in Windows. Still the pictures will not show.

I have a workbook containing a number of spreadsheets. Some of the spreadsheets are user inputs. The results of the user inputs drive a number of final reports. The final reports (i.e. spreadsheets) are hidden from the user (I don't want the user to be overwhelmed with so many tabs when they open the excel spreadsheet).
I created on the main input tab spreadsheet the following:
1. Check boxes - so that user can select after making his/her inputs the reports that he/she wants to view or print.
Say there are 4 reports (call them Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3, Sheet4 - therefore, 4 check boxes. Through the Format Control, the checkboxes have cell links that yield TRUE (if selected) or FALSE if not selected - linked to cells A1, A2, A3, A4 respectively.
2. Option buttons - one for view and another one for print. Through the Format Control, the View and Print option buttons have cell links to cell A5 yielding 1 for View and 2 for Print.
3. Command button - that will clear the check boxes
Issue
I would like to know if there is a way to code in VBA to:
1. Unhide the spreadsheets corresponding to the check boxes if selected;
2. Print the spreadsheets corresponding to the check boxes if selected for printing; and
3. Clear the checked boxes to unchecked if the Command button is clicked.
I'm struggling with coding to perform the above tasks.

I am looking for the code to keep certain cells from being rested on, they can be clicked on but in order for you to view the formula in the cell you have to hold down the mouse button otherwise it will move you over to the cell next to it. I was using another worksheet a while ago and was trying to view the formulas but when I clicked on the cells holding them it would move me to the next cell, the only way I could view them was to hold the mouse button down as soon as I would release it it would be gone! I do not want to protect the sheet, if there is another way to hide formulas I am open to all ideas!

Here is what I try to achieve:
- I have a "Menu" worksheet with basic Hyperlink to Sheet1, Sheet2 etc.
- When I click on a link (or on the tab), I want a prompt asking for a password (different for each tab). I do not anyone who doesn't have the correct password to see the content of the worksheet.
(I don't know VBA and I couldn't modify the code to fit my needs)
Here is the code posted
Dim sLast As ObjectPrivate Sub Workbook_Open() 'Ensure Sheet1 is not the active sheet upon opening. If Sheet1. Name = ActiveSheet.Name Then Sheet2.SelectEnd

I have placed a workbook on a network drive. This workbook contains sensitive information and I would like to protect it to a "feasible" degree. I have written the following code
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim userid As String, valid_userid As String
Dim i As Integer
valid_userid = "MISI01/"
userid = GetUserName()
userid = UCase(userid) & "/"
i = InStr(1, userid, valid_userid)
If i = 0 Then
MsgBox ("You are not authorised to use this workbook")
ActiveWorkbook.Close False
Exit Sub
End If
'create menu when workbook opens
Call Module1.CreateMenu("")
Call Modul1.check_filedate("")
' This will disable the user from moving, renaming etc the sheets
ActiveWorkbook.Protect Structure:=True, Windows:=False
End Sub
As can be seen from the above code, I check if the current userid is one of those that are valid to open the workbook. If not the idea is to tell them and close the workbook immediately (this bit isn't tested yet). This code is not supposed to be hacker proof, but to prohibit the casual user from reviewing the the data.

I am in need of a macro. I have a column with Image No.s around 900. What i want is as soon as i click on a image No. in a cell, the image has to pop up in excel itself(Not in particular cell). The images are in separate folder in the same directory. I have to view the images only(not inserting). Just Pop up the image and as soon as i click on next image no. macro has to remove the old image and in that place new image has to pop up.

I'm trying to display in a condensed fashion (in a list box, that way users can just scroll that box instead of the entire sheet), but it keeps giving me error messages saying it doesn't have enough memory to open. Granted, it is a lot of information (a full page's worth at least), but I moved some values around and had it load a different list of only 4 values and it still gave that message- so I can only assume I'm only using it wrong.

I'm referring to a post I tried to solve:http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...ml#post2227328
NO need to read. Try the attachement instead.
Steps done:
Select Column D
CF function =D1<A1
Select Column A
CF function =A1<D1
If I select cell D3 and look at the CF then I see:
CF: =D1<A1
where I would like to see
CF: =D3<A3
I remember this was the case in <=XL 2003? (now using 2010 beta)
