I have a userform for inputing a range of vehicle details. It will not let the user add the details unless all fields are complete.
If the user complets some of the fields and closes the form it will not save any information.
They must use a command button to close the form (the red X will not show)
I am looking for a way for a warning msg box to appear when they select the close form button
I want when Mold Capacity is more than available. i.e only Show warning Message to user
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a userform which opens when the workbook opens. Ideally Id like to have the userform open without the workbook coming up and have the workbook close when you close the userform. If thats not doable then is there a way to just close the workbook when the userform is closed?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a lot of links on my excel page, links going to videos. Everytime I click the link, I have this message :

I know there must be a way to take this message off : I worked with it for months, and then it suddenly disappeared. But now that I formatted, it's back again
I have several material takeoff sheets and one material SummarySheet in my workbook.
Each material takeoff sheet has a subtotal cell at the bottom of the sheet. The subtotals are added together and the total sum is displayed in a cell on the SummarySheet. At least that is how it is supposed to work. Excel or somebody else arbitrarily changed the cell reference in the SummarySheet formula to call up the cell one row above the subtotal cell on the material takeoff sheets. This little action resulted in a loss of $674,000 and may eventually result in my unemployment. Meanwhile I am sitting here putting out fires.
This is what I would like to do: Place a formula on the SummarySheet or add a Macro that will trigger a warning message box if the total on the SummarySheet is not equal to the sum of the subtotals on the material takeoff sheets. Also would like to have the message box animated or brightly colored.
If(PlateCostsTotals+AppurtenancesCostsTotals+StructuralCostsTotals+MiscellaneousCostsTotalsSummaryCostsTotal MsgBox “Hey, Don’t You Know How to Add”) or an alternate formula that works.
I am trying to put together a code so that when a user enteres more then two decimal points in the cell value they should get a warning regardless if they formatted the cell to show 2 decimals or not...
Simply the problem is on the sheet I have a lot of people format the cell to show two decimals but when you copy and paste the cell values to other sheets the decimals are still there which causes problems.

View 3 Replies View RelatedRunning a worksheet with vba, at the start of the code I turn warnings off and at the very end of the code I turn them back on.When the routines complete a warning is raised:
A formula in this worksheet contains one or more invalid references.
Verify that your formulas contain a valid path, workbook, range name, and cell reference.
When I run Error Checking everything comes up clean.
Clicking on "Show Formulas" shows no formulas for there are no formulas on the sheet to show, just a chart, and clicking "Show Formulas" just turns my dates into serial numbers and screws up the display of the two comboboxes, messing the fonts and drop-down arrows, and since closing and reopening didn't revert the comboboxes back to normal I will now have to blow them away and resurrect them. I also see Show Formulas also messed up my command buttons. nice...
The only way I find to avoid the error is to turn Warnings OFF at the start of the charting routine and NEVER turn it back on.
I made certain that none of my names had any errors in them. Everything looks proper. So what next?
I fear something will create an error for me now along the lines of Murphy's Law
Is there a way to make excel 2007 pop up a warning whenever calculation is set to manual by a macro or any other means? I have on several occasions noticed formulas not working, only to discover that calculation was set to manual without me noticing. And then I don't know how much of my work may have been afffected. This seems like a pretty vital piece of information, and I am surprised that it's not made more obvious.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have one excel workbook (called “workbookA”) stored on network device (hard drive with its own ip address). The idea is not to allow users to save that excel workbook locally on individual pcs; otherwise, others wont be able to see updates done by a particular user that saved the workbook on his or her computer (regardless of intention).
The idea I have is to have a second workbook (called “workbookB”) on the same network drive; and cell $A$1 of this workbookB is being referenced by workbookA.
$A$1 cell of workbookB has value of ‘20’. And, cell A8 of workbookA refers to that cell
My code below checks the value of A8 cell of workbookA against the value of $A$1 cell of workbookB has value of ‘20’. If the values do not match, cell A9 of workbookA displays “Unauthorized Copy”. (One can even elect to have the VBA code to overwrite all cells - thus destroying the workbook.)
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("$A$8") "'[NO_NO.xls]SHEET00'!$A$1" Then
' places "Unauthorized Copy" to Cell $A$9
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("FID").Unprotect Password:="password"
Range("'[FID.xls]FID'!$A$9").Value = "UNAUTHORIZED COPY"
Sheets("FID").Protect Password:="password"
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End If
End Sub
I feel embarrassed, but this is the best idea I’ve got. Plus I am getting "Run-time error '1004'; Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed" & whenever the workbook is being opened, excel asks is the links (referenced) are to be updated or not (whole another story). Are there any simpler & more interesting ideas to ensure that the user gets alerted whenever the workbookA is removed from (saved in a location other then) the network device?

This part of the form is where the user selects the supplier of the fitness equipment via 3 buttons;
CmdLF
CmdTG
CmdOther
Clicking CmdOther checks if there is a text value in other so we have a record of the supplier.
We can't limit this to a definitive list as there may be new suppliers/some in other regions. However, I would like, when user click CmdOther, excel to look up the value they enter into TxtOther.
If it is in a set list, then it goes straight through, if not a MsgBox propmpts the user to check the name and gives them the option to edit the supplier or accept
Private Sub CmdOther_Click()
If TxtOther.Value = "" Then
MsgBox "You must enter a Supplier!"
Exit Sub

I keep getting this warning. I temporarily used a 4.0 macro, but found a better way to do it, so I no longer am using that function. How do I remove whatever it is that is calling it so that user's don't have to see this message. There is a small probability that something else somewhere is calling a 4.0 command, but I have no idea how to find out what that is.
I've checked the references, and excel 4.0 Macro's aren't listed, and I'm pretty sure they were before when I was using them.
I would like to create a macro that looks at a specifc cell with a formula that compares the values of two other cells on the spreadsheet. If the variance is more that $10, I would like a popup window to come up telling the user that they are not in balance. I would like this to happen when they attempt to save the file.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have used the OWC.Spreadsheet 11 object in a form. But since then, I get a warning, usually when I open the spreadsheet, saying "This application is about to initialize an ActiveX Control that might be unsafe. If you trust the source of this file Select OK.etc,etc". I am using Excel 2003. Is there anyway of getting rid of this message? I am worried that users will see it, worry about using it and press cancel instead of OK at the prompt, thus rendering my form useless.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an excel document which automatically runs a macro when it opens. The macro itself opens various excel documents, copies, Pastes and Deletes work sheets then saves the updated files in a new location. I simply used the Application. ScreenUpdating = False at the start of the macro and Application.ScreenUpdating = True at the end of the macro to hide all the various opening and closing and formatting of workbooks.
My aim is for the user to be able to open the document, wait a few moments while the macro runs, then be presented with the finished article when the macro ends without any need for interaction. The problem I am getting is as the macro runs, various windows pop up with messages such as "The file C:... already exists do you wish to replace the file" with a yes or no wchoice and "Data may exist in the sheet(s) selected for deletion. with a delete or cancel choice To Permanently delete the data press Delete". What I want to be able to do is stop these windows popping up and for the macro to go ahead with replacing the file or deleting the sheets without being manually told each time.
I need to test whether one or more rows are about to be deleted in a worksheet.
Users delete rows to edit a worksheet, which affects other columns. I need an opportunity to warn them before the delete occurs.
I was playing around with Macros on an excel file. I created a few and ran them. In the end, I didn't like the way they ran, so I deleted them all. However since I ran them in the excel file, every time I open the file it gives me a warning saying
"Macros have been disabled."
Is there any way to remove the possible Macros ties/links from my file? I know I can disable the warning, but if I just want to remove the Macros ties to my file.
I have a couple spreadsheet Excel 2003 that I have to Email, I use a few macros with these spreadsheets. The Macros are kept in my personal workbook.

If they see the warning is it possible for me to Email so they will not have to contend with that?
