Workbook Automatically Opens When Opening/Closing Any Other

Mar 14, 2008

I have a problem, where every time I close or open any workbook, Excel prompts me to "Enable or Disable Macros" in one particular workbook, wether I have tried to open it or not. In the said workbook, I have a macro that automatically updates a pivot table upon selecting the worksheet where the pivot table resides.

The code for it is as follows:

Sub UpdateIt()
Dim iP As Integer
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
For iP = 1 To ActiveSheet.PivotTables.Count
ActiveSheet.PivotTables(iP).RefreshTable
Next
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Call UpdateIt
End Sub

There is something in the code that calls UpdateIt any time a workbook is opened, closed or selected.

Workbook Automatically Opens After Closing

Jan 6, 2010

I have a workbook on a share drive that is used by multiple people. In the event that someone leaves the workbook open after using it, I have a timer function that pops up a splash screen after 4 minutes of inactivity which states, "This workbook will close in 1 minute if there is no further activity". If there is no further activity in that minute, the workbook closes.

The code works fine...unless the workbook is manually closed in that minute between the splash screen and when the timer would have closed the workbook. If that happens, the workbook closes normally and then briefly reopens and closes a minute later when the timer would have closed the workbook. Is there any code to prevent this?

VB Error With Opening/closing Workbook

Jul 6, 2006

I do not understand why my code returns a Run Time Error"9" Subscript out of range. With the following code, I opened a workbook and then wish to close that same workbook without saving. Eventually I will be pulling information from the workbook but for now I just want it to open and then close right away.

Private Sub cb_NewDate_Change()
ListIndex = cb_NewDate.ListIndex

If ListIndex = 0 Then

Application. ScreenUpdating = False

Workbooks.Open Filename:="I:JoeNetwork Conversion FactorsNetworkConversionFactors_Ver_2_0_0.xls"
Application.Workbooks("I:JoeNetwork Conversion FactorsNetworkConversionFactors_Ver_2_0_0.xls").Close False
End Sub

Hide Workbook Opening/closing Operation On The Screen

Jul 6, 2007

I am running a script that populates about 70 or so workbooks based on information from the database. Naturally this script is quite slow but what seems to take the most time is opening and closing workbooks. Is there a way to "hide" the workbook opening/closing operation on the screen? I have tried using the

Application. ScreenUpdating = False

this sped the code up but you still see the workbooks opening on the screen.

Closing The Workbook & Saving Automatically

Jan 25, 2008

I have my Excel workbook open & have made changes. Now I close it and Excel prompts me if I want to save the changes. Is there a way to just close the workbook and automatically accept any changes without have the "Do you want to save changes" message appear?

What about if it is opened in read-only mode? Typically the workbook will not save any changes unless you save it off as another file name. If there is a solution to my question above, can it be enabled only when the workbook is opened in edit mode, or will it not auto-save changes over the file because Excel knows it was opened in read-only mode?

Automatically Closing One Workbook When Another Closes

Jul 22, 2006

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

Automatically Save Sheet To New Workbook When Closing

Jun 30, 2008

I am in the process of setting up an Excel invoice. So far I have managed to implement the following:

On open: Incrementing invoice number
Cells cleared ready for next use

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("Sales Invoice").Range("H2").Value = Sheets("Sales Invoice").Range("H2").Value + 1 .....................

There is only one task left I need to automate. On closing the document I would like a copy to be saved in a specific folder and be given the file name of a cell (B9). Obviously I would not want the 'saved copy' to retain the Incrementing invoice number or the clear cells function. Even if the invoice copy was exported as a flat jpeg that would be fine. I am using Office Exce 2003 (Sp2) - I have attached my invoice should anyone be kind enough to take a look.

VBA / Macro Automatically Opening Different Workbook

Dec 1, 2011

I wrote code for a few macros in a "save as" or practice version of a spreadsheet. Once I got the bugs worked out on the practice book I pasted the code into the actual spreadsheet I want to use. The problem is that whenever I run one of the macros it opens the practice book that I was using when I wrote the code. There should be no need for this and I can't figure out why that's happening. The code doesn't mention any workbook by name so I don't know why it would want to open the practice book.

Automatically Minimize The 2007 Ribbon On Opening A Particular Workbook

Feb 22, 2009

I would like to be able to automatically minimize the Excel 2007 ribbon on opening a particular workbook. My preference is to be able to apply that minimization to certain worksheets only, but if that's not possible then minimizing the ribbons on all sheets in the workbook will be ok.

Will I also need a BeforeClose code as well to reinstate the ribbon so that it is visible when opening subsequent workbooks?

Closing And Re-opening The Same File In Excel On-click Method

Oct 15, 2008

I was wondering if there is any code using an on-click method. When clicking a button i need excel to exit the file/sheet without saving (no prompts) and then re-open the exact same file/sheet once it has closed.

In a way this is like a refresh button.

Reduce Number Of Times Opening And Closing Blank Source File

Jul 9, 2012

I have code in VBA that takes a source Excel file and parses it to multiple re-formatted worksheets. Each formatted worksheet is different depending on a variable in the source. There are n of each type of data (1:n Water Sources, 1:n Water Treatment, 1:n Water Storage). Each item needs a copy of a blank re-formatted worksheet appended to the end of the existing data-type worksheet. For example: Water Source #2 is appended to the bottom of Water Source #1 on the same worksheet.

Currently, I am opening the blank re-formatted workbook each time an additional variable of same type is found in the source file. Meaning, if there are 8 Water Sources, I am opening and closing the blank re-formatted workbook 7 times to copy a blank Water Source to the bottom of the Water Source worksheet and then populate the data. AND if there are 3 Water Treatment, I would open and close the blank formatted workbook 2 more times to copy a blank Water Treatment to the bottom of the Water Treatment worksheet. The same goes for Water Treatment.

Obviously, a huge waste of resources and performance. I would rather open the blank re-formatted workbook once (first time an additional worksheet is needed), use the worksheets as needed, and close it at the end.

Attached is my current, working code of the above.

How should I re-write it to check if the blank workbook is already open use it, if not open it?

Code:
Sub Add_Facility(ByVal Worksheet_Name, Copy_Range, Max_Limit)
Dim Last_Row As Integer
Dim Source_Range As Range
Dim Dest_Range As Range
Dim wkb As Workbook

Set wkb = ActiveWorkbook

[Code] ........

Visual Basic Opens Automatically

Oct 19, 2009

I have a VB problem, and it's driving me nuts.

Whenever I run a macro on excel the Microsoft VB editor opens and shows me what the macro looks like. It also runs the macro.
Now, I would very much like it to keep running macros, but I really don't need to see my code every time. It gets really annoying, and I need to run about 40 or 50 different macros on one sheet. How can I make it go away?

PS! It's Excel 2007 for students, Norwegian version.

Excel 2010 :: Crash - Ready Calculate Flashing Taskbar When Closing / Opening Userform

Jan 8, 2014

Excel will hang up as if it's gone into a continuous loop (Although no looping macros are active) when you open or close a user form. The task bar in Excel will flash Ready Calculate. Visual basic reports no code is running but excel either crashes or becomes very unresponsive. I have to exit and reopen excel in order to fix the problem . It also doesn't happen at any one specific point it can vary. I have various VLOOKUPs around the workbook and userforms display the correct information. I use the INDEX formula in the control source of textboxes. I also use the offset formula to make sure DTPICKER displays correctly.

I am using 'Option Explicit' at the start of all my code. I have tried a 3rd party code cleaner. No visual Basic references are MISSING

Autofilter When Workbook Opens

Jul 16, 2008

My workbooks contains 2 worksheets with data and autofilters on for each column in use.

When my workbook opens I am trying to reset the autofilters of each worksheet in the workbook and to filter the data according to one criteria in one column.

This is what I have that works to reset each worksheet but I haven't been able to figure out how to subsequently filter each worksheet.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each w In Worksheets
w.Unprotect
If w.FilterMode Then w.ShowAllData
w.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _
, AllowFiltering:=True
Next w
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

The autofilter sits in A3 to N3 and I am trying to filter according to column M (i.e. 13th column)

Add-in Opens Workbook It Was Created In

I've created an add-in that runs a simple macro. The problem I have is that when I run the add-in it opens the workbook I originally created it from - is this what I should expect it to do? How do I stop this from happening?

Also, do I need to have the workbook from which I created the add in located in the same place on every machine I want to use the add in on? At the moment if I move the original workbook the add-in won't work.
