Workbook_open Event In Order To Stop Annoying Messages If You Haven't Physically Made Changes
Jul 3, 2007
I've been setting the above property to TRUE after making some changes in the Workbook_open event in order to stop annoying messages if you haven't physically made changes.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to copy through to the workbook_beforeclose event and I'm being asked if I want to save changes even though the macro made the changes and then set the property.
Here's my code for the open event :-
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error Resume Next
For counter = Worksheets.Count To 2 Step -1
Sheets(counter).Visible = xlVeryHidden
Next
Sheets("Desktop").Visible = True
Sheets(1).Visible = xlVeryHidden.....
I have set up some cells with formulas to be worked out in the future. But the #VALUE! error message appears because there is nothing to work out yet! I've attached the sheet
Private Sub Workbook_Open() If ActiveWorkbook. Name = "UserA.xls" Then Call PreviewList Else Cancel = True End If End Sub
After the macro auto-startup, UserA works on the worksheet and input some procedures and save as ClientA.xls. However, before save as ClientA.xls and close, UserA wants to change the worksheet name and Procedure name as below, how to do that?
Private Sub Workbook_Open() If ActiveWorkbook.Name = "ClientA.xls" Then Call RevisedList Else Cancel = True End If End Sub
the following workbook open event which repeats a macro called "Refresh" every 30 minutes. However, there is another macro "tame_blph" that i wanna call at 12 midnight everyday.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Call tame_blph
NextTick = Now + TimeValue("00:30:00")
Application .OnTime NextTick, "Refresh", , True
End Sub
Is it even possible to have multiple Workbook open events and/or multiple NextTick or something?
every time i choose Action X, i have a series of warning messageboxes appear. i want to run some code so that default option for each message box is selected every time a message box appears. this way i don't need to press Enter every time for each message box.
I am trying to determine if it's possible to control the order of like events. In other words, if I have set up two Worksheet_Change events, can I control which one fires first? Or, as a second best, can I determine which one will fire first?
I am using Office XP on Windows XP, but I'm looking for a generic solution if possible.
I want to be able to reset the value in a combobox, but without the combobox executing code, when it resets. Is there any way of doing this?
I have tried the code below but the ComboBox still executes when its value is changed.
Sub Reset_combobox() Worksheets("Sheet1").ComboBox1.Enabled = False Worksheets("Sheet1").ComboBox1.Value = 1 Worksheets("Sheet1").ComboBox1.Enabled = True End Sub
I have a real simple question about what command to enter in order to stop a macro. All the macro does is "press the F9 key" every second. I use a button to start the loop but I am unable to find a way to use another button to stop the process. Ive copied my macro below:
Sub Go() Calculate Application .OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "Go" End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() "Go Button" Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), "Go" End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click() "Stop Button" '???????????????????????? End Sub
I've set up code where when a cell within a specified range of cells is selected, a macro will run. This works all well and good except for when a whole row, column or range containing the defined cells is selected, there is a run time error. There is no situation where I want multiple cells selected to run the macro, so I only want to run the macro when only a single cell within that range is selected.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) If Not Intersect(Target, Range("GoToRange")) Is Nothing Then Application.Run "'Macro Test Current MY PFEP Metrics.xls'!PFEP_Filter" End If
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("GoToRange2")) Is Nothing Then Application.Run "'Macro Test Current MY PFEP Metrics.xls'!PFEP_Filter" End If End Sub
I have a "submit" button macro which user would click after he has finished his input. This macro would update a reference number on the worksheet named "orange" and then print out this worksheet.
My purpose is "orange" is printed out with a reference number.
I want to use this command when I open every workbook.
How do I do that? I know you're supposed to put the macro in the thisworkbook module in the workbook, but I have 600 workbooks that needs to be changed. That is just not a good idea. I've tried to put the macro in the workbook called own.xls (I use a swedish version of excel, dont know what it is called in english) thisworkbook,
I script that on open would pop up asking if a sync was done with an option for yes or no. If yes is pressed then it would just open, if no selected it would give a message "must sync before use" and close the workbook.
I do not want this message to pop up when other spreadsheets are open when this one is still open so im guessing private workbook_open
I am using the following code in my Workbook_Open sub, located in the ThisWorkbook code module. I am enabling macros when opening. All other VBA code in the project is running correctly.
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Worksheets("Sheet1").init MsgBox "starting" End Sub
The init sub did not appear to be running so I inserted the MsgBox to confirm, but that doesn't come up either.
I have an Excel add-in file (stored .xla format) that is used by a lot of other spreadsheets on a network location because it is modified often, and all workbooks made from a template reference it. everything with that works fine, and any changes made to the add-in file are always reflected upon startup in the workbooks. So there isn't a problem with that. Recently I've had to add a Workbook_Open() sub into this add-in (which I wrote in 'ThisWorkbook'). However, this macro is never entered by any of the workbooks. Is it possible to have a workbook_open sub in another file? If so, what can be causing it to fail (there aren't any errors or anything like that in the sub)?
I have noticed this on more than one workbook with an Workbook_Open macro. When you open Excel, open Workbook1, do some work , save or don't save and close, then reOpen Workbook1 without having closed the Excel application, the Workbook_Open macro in Workbook1 doesn't run.
Closing Excel and reopening Workbook1 initiates the Workbook_Open macro. It's as if Excel remembers having previously opened Workbook1 and so it doesn't rerun the Workbook_Open macro the next time you open it.
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Dim x As Date x = InputBox("Enter End Date!") Range("B2") = x With Application. CommandBars("File") .Controls("Save").Enabled = False .Controls("Save").Visible = False .Controls("Save As...").Enabled = False .Controls("Save As...").Visible = False End With With Application.CommandBars("Standard") .Controls("Save").Enabled = False .................
from 1 sheet i am opening several other worksheets and read in the bits i want. i am finding that on occasions the workbook_open on these sheets is causing great performance issues because of the calc mode set to automatic in the open routine of the individual sheets. i dont need it to be set to auto but the sheet owners perfer it to be set like this and i cant turn it off their sheets. is ther a way of opening a workbook from a macro and then override its workbook_open routine?
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(sSourceFolder & "" & "mySheet.xls", False, True)
i cant find any other switches that i could use to disable this.
how do u add error message, so that if you do not put the correct type of value in a input box and a error message should come for you to re do it again
error message should not take letters, signs etc onli numbers and if number 0 is entered it should stopped.
i have a workbook iam using as a template.(workbook "template") the user opens which then requests a job number which will then saves the workbook as the enterd job number. this workbook also contains all the material data. eg: price and type which is on sheet "data". I am hopin to get to the sheet "data" from another workbooks command button by bypassing the job enter request by the workbook_open sub. basically i need some code that disables a workbook_open sub
In the Workook_open Sub I want to define 2 global static Variables. For some reason I can't get it to work. Whenever I try to access these vars they have the value "0" I use Excel 2000.
Here is what i did:
Dim i As Integer Dim ws As Worksheet Public Static GlobalStartX As Integer Public Static GlobalStartY As Integer
I have built a complex vba & multisheet spreadsheet that I am looking to secure against all the common attacks. So I have:A Workbook Open pw; VBA password (29 symbols/numbers/Caps/lower case) Very Hidden worksheets Hidden rows/columns Restricted scroll areas Workbook protection Code that auto protects all sheets upon opening Registry referencing in Workbook Open with timed closure if not matched Now I am on the last leg of implementing protection against Application.EnableEvents = False; force enabling of Macros and hiding of toolbars, scrollbars etc... Phew.
Soooo, in my research, I have learnt that if EnableEvents = False, Workbook_Open is essentially skipped and the security VBA routines are disabled. To get around, I have copied the entire contents of the Workbook_Open routine to a module under Auto_Open. The first line of both these scripts is: Application.EnableEvents = True.
Works! So far so good. However, I have a Msgbox prompt in the scripts that displays twice. So in essence, Excel is running Workbook Open first, then Auto Open second. If I open another instance of Excel and run Application.EnableEvents = False first before opening my spreadsheet, I only get one message. So only the Auto Open script runs.
Is there a way to disable all error pop up messages from coming up due to an invalid entry in a cell that has data validation? So when a user types in a value, it doesn't pop up saying "retry, cancel, etc"? Just to save time and make it more user friendly, it would be nice to just dis-allow the entry, so when someone types an incorrect entry it just erases it or stays on the cell and keeps it highlighted but doesn't let you click away...something like that. This would be applied to the whole workbook and is for XL07.
Is there a way to turn off those annoying error message boxes that pop-up when a line of code is incorrect? I pretty frequently go to another area of code to grab some previous code to copy and paste, and the error message box pops-up, so I have to hit OK to close it. It would be nice if it still highlighted the problem red, but I'd even give that up for those boxes to go away.
I'm trying to create a more user friendly (and easily updated) gantt chart for marketing campaigns running throughout the year. The difficulty is that we have approximately 100 products and each product can have anything up to 20 campaigns per year (never overlap, though, fortunately).
Campaign data is on one row per product in columns B:CC (each campaign consists of start date, end date, name and volume) but these are hidden from the user. The conditionally formatted chart runs from CD2:QD108 and is predominantly based on the start and end dates.
When any coloured cell is selected I want the relevant campaign name to be displayed, like a data validation message.
