View 9 RepliesI am trying to set up an macro that runs when a workbook opens
I have placed the following code in the This Workbook Object
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Worksheets("Test").OnEntry = "Every_Update"
With ThisWorkbook
Application.OnTime Now, "'" & .Name & "'!" & .CodeName & ".Workbook_Open2"
End With
End Sub
I am tyring to instruct Excel to run the macro "Every_Update" every time an entry is made in the worksheet "Test". This seems to fuction.
However, I have other code that I am tring to run in a a macro called "Workbook_Open2"
That macro contains functions that are not yet loaded into Excel during the Auto open sequence. I was hoping that by calling the subroutine, it would allow the functions to be enabled. Basically the function that I a trying to get is to open up another excel file and read a cell.
The code above gives me an error - it cannot find "Workbook_Open2" Should this not be in a module?
I have a excel file in which , there is probably a macro which runs when i open the file. The macro checks for a particular file on the D: drive.
I want to delete this macro. The problem is i cannot delete this macro, as it is not appearing in the Macros List.
Also i know i can disable this macro, by pressing the shift key whenever the file is opened.
But i want to delete this macro permanently from this file. I have tried various options like pression Alt-F11 & to locate the macro in module etc & also tried to locate it in the Workbook open event handler. But I cant see the macro.
How do i locate this macro & delete it.
I am new to VBA & not sure of the full understanding of code copied from a workbook which worked on the same principle but with Monthly (12) tabs. I thought if modified to show weeks, the macro would be able to locate the current week tab & day/date within - but upon opening, the cell stops at WK19 & column O - rather than WK43, Column N (which changes daily).
Sub Auto_Open()
week(1) = "WK1"
week(2) = "WK2"
week(3) = "WK3"
week(4) = "WK4"
week(5) = "WK5"
week(6) = "WK6"
week(7) = "WK7"
week(8) = "WK8"
week(9) = "WK9"
week(10) = "WK10"
week(11) = "WK11"
week(12) = "WK12"
week(13) = "WK13"
week(14) = "WK14"
week(15) = "WK15"
week(16) = "WK16"
week(17) = "WK17"
week(18) = "WK18"
week(19) = "WK19"
week(20) = "WK20"
week(21) = "WK21"
week(22) = "WK22"
week(23) = "WK23"
week(24) = "WK24"......................................

I’ve tried to use “record a macro” and “ctrl-o”, but the record a macro won’t stop until I pick a file or cancel the file list. I also tried to use “o” in the short cut key box
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet with 10 columns, and an ever number of growing rows.
What I would like to do is to Sort Column 'B', along with all the
other respective data in the other columns, each time the spreadsheet
opens. I would prefer to use VBA or some other auto-launching event.
I am currently using this code to place names in a combobox (active X). How can I use an array to perform each line to all 12 months without repeating the code over and over?Here is what I have:
Code:
Sub auto_Open()
Sheets("FEB").ComboBox1.List = Array("ALL", "ACT", "ROF", "MM")
Sheets("FEB").ComboBox2.List = Array("ACTvsROF_2", "ACTvsPLN_2", "ACTvsLY_2", "ROFvsMM_2", "ROFvsLM_2", [code].....
I have a menu workbook with macro buttons that call different workbooks. Call the menu workbook (switchgear.xlsm). Switchgear contains 2 buttons. Button 1 closes switchgear and opens Book1. Button 2 closes switchgear and opens book 2.
If book1 is open and nothing has changed for 3 minutes I would like it to close and open switchgear.xlsm. I do not want it to just close in 3 minutes... I want it to close after 3 minutes of inactivity.
I have search all over and tried and tried to achieve this without success...
I have been able to get the timer to work but it gets caught in a loop. If I open book1 and close it in less than a min then 3 minutes later out of nowhere the code tries to run???
Secondly when this happens I see several book1 vba projects loaded in the editor window???
I have an excel file stored on a network drive for the purpose of information sharing. (File protected with a password)
But some the guys leave the file open for quiet long time and hence I cannot open the file for updating the data.
-I need to have a macro that runs every 5 minutes and displays an alert message saying "Please close the File" as long as the file is kept open.
-A second macro with a modified version of the above to close the file automatically after 5 minutes from file opening time after showing an alert message "You cannot leave the File Open, File is Closed Automatically!"
Need vba code to automatically open sheet one when a workbook is opened? At the moment it opens on the page on which the workbook was last saved.
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.
I am trying to create an Auto_Open macro that will check the date held in column I and if it is 60 days then it will leave it white.
I am trying to get my invoice sheet to automatically increment the invoice number when I open the workbook. I know it is in the code i.e. private sub? but it doesnt seem to work.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI did a macro on my mac to transfer a sheet from one workbook to another worbook. It works very well when the destination workbook is open. Therefore I wanted to add some piece of code to check if the destination workbook is open. If not then I wanted the macro to open it before tranfering the sheet. Here is the code I´m using for tranfering the sheet
Sub Transfer_Sluttet()
If ActiveSheet.Index <> Sheets.Count Then
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Set ws = ActiveSheet
Sheets(ws.Index + 1).Delete
ws.Move Before:=Workbooks("Sluttet.xls").Sheets("sheet2")
'Moves active sheet to beginning of named workbook.
'Replace Test.xls with the full name of the target workbook you want.
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

I am trying to make a save&close workbook macro.
I found several examples on google, but unfortunatly it conflicts with another macro I use for forceing users to enable macros (hide all sheets except one if macros are disabled).
The attached file is an example contaning the save&close code and the show/hide sheets depending on macros enabled.
If the file is opened with macros disabled then only one sheet will be visible.
If the file is opened with macros enabled other sheets are visible.
The problem if that this code uses a custom save, witch makes the save&close not save... (in module1 and in ThisWorkbook)
The pourpose of the save&close is to make sure some users don't forget the excel open and thus block access to it. So if a certain idele time passes excel has to save and close without any confirmation messages.
I am looking for a macro that i can store in my personal.xlsb. what i need is pretty much is something like this
private sub workbook_open
if workbook.name "inventorysummary.csv"
then application.run "personal.xlsb!capacity"
end sub
I only need it to run just for this file and i cannot place it in the file due to it gets replaced every day. Which if it didn't get replaced. I know how to do auto opens when the file stays the same I am just unsure for this.
I am making a spreadsheet that sorts and pastes, but I need to know if I can add a code to the Sort and Paste Macro that will open the second spread sheet needed without just already having it open and using the
Windows("estimate sheet one.xls").Activate
I use Excel 2003 at work. I'm looking for some code that will Open a folder and then lets the user to select a file then continues to run the macro.
The file name they select will look similar to this K2271011.504 or K3011111.201
I created folder on my desktop to hold various documents. I have master excel document which contains forms and command buttons that open documents from same folder. Is there a way to change code instead of having full file path to specify current directory. I'm worried that if I move this folder to another location then my open file button will not work since location is changed.
Also when I open with command button word document, I have a button on word document to close. I can close document but word application is still active. Can I close word application with the document at the sam time. This is the code I'm using: "ActiveWindow.Close"
I am trying to set up a macro that hides certain columns of data in an automated spreadsheet that I don't need. How do I make the macro that hides the columns apply to all spreadsheets that are open except for the one I am in?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to use a macro to:
1. Open Excel from the Desktop
2. Open a workbook
3. Execute a macro from this workbook
If so, how can it be done, specially point 1?
(Brand) New to VB so apologies in advance if this is a simple fix. I have a spreadsheet that monitors truck cycle times. I have it set to update every minute. One of the columns contains date/time info sorted last to first. Every time the first cell in this column updates, I want to run a macro that copies info from adjacent cells to another area of the sheet. I have seen the "byval target as range" posts, but don't really understand what it does, and whatever changes I make I can't get it to run.

[Code]....
The spreadsheet I'm working on is kinda hard to describe, but I'll try.
It's a finance calculator of sorts that I need done, and it shows me the total cost of various products. Each of these products require different components, and numbers of components, and also these components all cost different prices. So what I have is the following spreadsheet setup:
I have a macro to run which will clear out all rows and move them corresponding sheets on the same workbook. At the minute i have this macro to run at 21.00 hours everyday. Is it possible to fire this macro to auto run before me closing a workbook so i don;t need to wait and also worksheet is saved with the latest changes
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am using one spread sheet to store date that gets updated throughout the day and am pulling information form that sheet to another file. I need to save it to get the current data and I don't want to rely on the person entering data to remember to save. The sheet I want to save is called Log.
View 8 Replies View RelatedNeed a macro for the following:
C | D | F (Column)
10 | 100 | Yes (data)
If column F = Yes then
column G = "abc = 10, def fgh = 100"
where 'abc =' is additional text, '10' is C value.
Loop till the last row of F.
Basically, I want to autofill column G with the data derived from column C & D + some text.
