Jul 20, 2013I am using excel 2002 and I have found that when the workbook is shared and getting 2 or more users to open the workbook around the same time brings up a read only type prompt box for the 2nd ( and 3rd) user when the book hasn't fully opened for the 1st user/is still fully opening. Is this a limitation within excel or is there a way around this for example via vb code.
I know the more data a workbook has can cause it open a lot slower but is this the same for shared mode.
Excel 2007 :: Delete Sheet On A Shared Workbook
Oct 29, 2013I have a file that has an original file format .xls
I saved as .xlsx (I am using Excel 2007) with a different name so I could make changes to the new file without changing the original.
That turn off compatibility mode.... but it is still "shared". While it is shared I cannot delete a sheet. In fact, I really don't even want it to be shared. If the file is open, and someone else opens it, I want it to open as "read only". I cannot uncheck the "Allow changes by more than one user at the same time. This also allows workbook merging." checkbox because it is greyed out.

Why does this happen ? I would like the second users to see the same information as I do.

Excel 2003 :: Inserted Row Shows Up As Hidden Row In Shared Workbook?
Nov 20, 2012The other day I inserted a row in a shared workbook and then saved it. On my screen, the inserted row was visible and was the correct row height of 12.75. My goal was to insert the row so another user sitting next to me could enter information in the new row.
After I saved the workbook, and after the user sitting next to me saved her workbook, the row I inserted should have appeared exactly the same on her screen, but it did not. Instead, the inserted row showed up as a hidden row on her screen. It was there, but the row height was collapsed to the point of invisibility.
I repeated my attempt to insert a row which the other user could edit several times, but each time I got the same result. I could not make the row show up on her screen with a row height of 12.75.

Aug 12, 2014What I've got: This code allows the user to pick one (sub)folder - the MailItem properties of the folder are then printed to the sheet.
[Code] .....
My goal: Rather than allowing the user to pick one folder, I'd like to set up a hardcoded array of five subfolders found in a shared inbox. The hierarchy is as follows:
[Code] .....
The thing is, I have huge problems with referring to any of the red subfolders above. I think I'm able to point to the shared inbox if I substitute .Pickfolder with this, but then I'm stuck! I need to go down two levels in the hierarchy.

I should be able to produce an array by myself so if I at least just could get a pointer on how to refer to one single folder that would be truly awesome.
Excel 2010 :: Command Button In Shared Workbook Not Working?
Sep 7, 2010I am using Excel 2010. I am using a shared workbook that was originally created in Excel 2003. This workbook has a command button that is supposed to be clicked to open a userform. However, I cannot even click on the button when opening the shared form in Excel 2010. When the form is not shared, the button works fine.
I have no problems with the button when opening the shared form in 2003 or 2007.
Is there anything I can do to make the command button work while the form is shared and while using Excel 2010?
Excel 2010 :: Macros No Longer Work When Workbook Shared
Aug 22, 2012Using Excel 2010.
I've created a spreadsheet at work that has two summary tabs which contain hyperlinks to around 30 separate sheet tabs.
On each sheet tab there is a list of unique values in column A (and other information relating to each value in columns B to D which are repeated for more than one unique value). In column E, users enter a test script name against each unique value they wish to 'reserve', and the macro picks out the unique test script names and via the COUNTIF formula counts the frequency of each test script name for each of the different values in column B.
My problem is that the macro seems to work fine if the workbook is not shared, but errors if the workbook is saved as shared. The error is 'Run time error 1004 - Unable to select the MergeCells property of the Range class'.
Here is the macro code:
Sub Get_Policies_Per_Script(updCol As Long, ShtName As String)
Dim rowctr As Long
Dim tgtrow As Long
Const ppsformula As String = "=COUNTIFS($A$3:$A$65000,I$24,$E$3:$E$65000,$G"
If updCol = 5 Then 'test name column has been modified

Password Removal For Non-Author?
Jul 3, 2013I have some password protected excel worksheets that required editing as they are from earlier versions, an earlier time and all need to be updated. This would be fine if it was myself who actually made the worksheets, but the person who did retired a couple of years ago and has dropped off the map (no contact details etc).
I know how to remove passwords, when I was the one who set them. The big problem here is, they are all macro enabled and for some reason the free down load password removal applications do not unlock worksheets that are macro enabled.

View 9 Replies View RelatedExcel 2003 :: Grant Access To Selective Columns On Shared Worksheet
Nov 15, 2012I'd like to grant access to selective columns on a shared worksheet.
For example:
Columns A to D should be edited by only me
Columns E to G can be edited by anyone
Column H should only be edited by someone else
The worksheet has to be shared and has been shared by me. I know how to protect & hide locked cells etc but the problem I'm running into is this...
After locking & password protecting say columns A to D and then sharing the worksheet, I am unable to edit my own columns (columns A to D) without first entering the password.
However in order to enter the password I need to unprotect the sheet. And in order to unprotect the sheet, I need to unshare it!
Is there any way around this or perhaps a completely different way of approaching it?

Excel 2010 :: Macro To Change Excel Formatted Table Name Dependent On Number Of Loops
Jul 9, 2012Recorded macro. The hope is to insert a excel formatted table a set number of times. I have found a loop code that references a Cell A1 and repeats that amount of times. So if A1= 10. There should be 10 tables inserted. However on the second time there is a fault with the table name. I need the name to change each time the loop is run. ie Table1, Table2, Table3 etc up until the loop stops (A1 contents).
I am using excel for windows 2010. The macro that i have so far is below.
Sub LoopTest()
Dim n
Dim V
Range("A1").Select

Shared File
Jan 7, 2007I am designing a workbook that techs in my lab can use from any of our network computers to submit requests for making chemical solutions they need to run their tests. Currently they have to fill out a paper form to make the request, so this should make things a little more efficient and less paper intensive.
I have the workbook designed and working, but now need to implement it as a shared file and this is where the problems are occurring. I assumed that shared files could allow access to the same file AT THE SAME TIME with no issues, but that is not the case in Excel97 on our network. Using two networked computers side by side I have tried updating the shared file at the same time and got a myriad of popups. The include:
1) Do you want to save the changes you made to "..."? (I did not include the actual filename here.)
2) A file named "......" already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it?
3) "......" is now available for editing. Choose Read-Write to open it for editing.
4) This file is locked. Try the command later.
5) This file has been locked by for saving. Try again later.
Question:
Are these error messages normal for shared files? Do some reflect issues more with the network than with Excel? Is there any way to get VBA to simulate clicking a Yes, No, or Cancel, or OK whenever a one of these specific messages comes up?

View 4 Replies View RelatedVba On Shared Spreadsheet
May 31, 2007I have a 4 MB Excel file containing some very basic VBA that is shared on a server (it is a large file because it contains LOTS of "VLOOKUP" functions). But the VBA only works a part of the time. I assume the reason it might not work is because the server at that time was under high traffic and thus the VBA failures can be traced to poor server performance at that time.
