I know that the ID that I'm trying to search for is "rBeginMonth_BeginDate", but my code always says that it's empty.
The code below is partially of what I've done.

This code takes all the data from a listbox and throws it into a sheet so that I can print it. I would like the print window to open ready to print this one sheet but allow the user to make sure the right network printer is selected before hitting print.

Dim i As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
If Me.lstPrintRooms.ListCount = 0 Then
MsgBox "The are no rooms in the list to print"

Is there a way that I can make an excel sheet and save it in a way that when it's opened the person JUST sees the cells in a really simple window...
Not sure if I'm confusing people in how I explain this... but basically I don't want it to show the scroll bars, the A B C D etc and 1 2 3 4 etc, the tool bars... etc. JUST the specified cells in a sheet.
So, I've been trying to work out a distribution list. So far, my research has shown me how to code to be able to send a message through outlook by typing content into a spreadsheet, but I'm trying to find code that will simply open a new message window in outlook. I don't want to send it through excel as I've found to be possible b/c outlook is asking for permission to send to each recipient on the mailing list and we have a fairly large staff here, so clicking that button 20 times to allow the email to go through is more labor intensive than just verifying who's on the distribution list and sending.

I am trying to get the caption that is displayed on each window of all the open workbooks. I am using the code below to loop through all the workbook windows, get their handles and finally display their respective captions on a Msgbox.I am having 2 problems:
1- The code loops only once instead of once for each open workbook !
2- The Msgbox displays an empty string instead of the workbook caption !
If I am not mistaken, problem 2 is due to the fact that the Class name"EXCEL7" used in the code refers to a worksheet and not to a workbook. The trouble is I can't figure out what a Workbook Class name is so that I can use it in the FindWindowEx Function
Code:
Private Declare Function FindWindowEx Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowExA" _

In VBA, how do open 2 new windows, and allow for the fact the file name will change (or name the new windows the current file name)? My current file name is "Metal.xls"
Here is what the code looks like now:
Windows("Metal.xls:2").Activate
Windows("Metal.xls:1").Activate
I have a userform with several buttons on, each doing seperate tasks, three of the buttons however are used to load a workbook stored elsewhere in our central data storage drive. Loading these workbooks is not the problem, the problem is when loading these they load up behind the userform and not in a new window.

I have two workbooks. One is a no-nonsense form interface that my bosses will use to enter safety information. I'll call this workbook "Form". This file is stored locally on each of their computers. The other workbook is stored on a common drive. I'll call it "Master".
When my bosses fill out the Form and click "Submit", the Master file is opened, and certain cells are populated based on information entered in the Form. This is the code I am using to make this happen:
I 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
End If
End Sub

I want to create something like this: macro checking if file aaa.csv isn't open, if it is macro should stop and show message box "Close aaa.csv", and if file isn't open it should continue to work.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have to files and a macro which copies data from one file to the other. The code goes as follows:
Sub test()
Range("A2").Activate
ActiveCell.Copy
ChDir "D:"
Workbooks.Open Filename:="D: est2.xls"
Range("B1").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
End Sub
Everything is ok as long as the second file (test2) - the one data is copied to, is closed the moment the macro starts acting. The problem is: when test2.xls was opened before the macro was activated a window pops up saying that all unsaved data in test2.xls would be lost.
The best thing to do is to write a piece of code stating that : if the target file is closed then the macro should open it and do its stuff, but if the target file is already opened than the macro should simply switch to the already opened workbook without trying to reopen it. All I need is a piece of code regulating that
Y have files that are stored as .xla files because they are standalone applications that just contain the code.
Y need to test if one .xla file is open and if so close it, so i'am able to open another one. Otherwise the APP withevents from both APP get all mixed up.
I'am actually doing it from vb.net 2005 and i 'am using latebinding.
But the code would be similar y guess.
I have a small group of excel files that I've tried to code to update a master file. I have borrowed code snippets and adapted the rest (still trying to learn). My appologies to those I borrowed from! I would give you full credit if I could remember who did what. Anyway, The files are on a network share folder and everything works perfectly for me, but when one of the people who this was disigned for tries to update it always says "File already open, please try again later." This message is built in to the code.
All the files are in the same shared folder (to make it easier for me) along with the master file.
Here is the code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Const strMaster As String = "PMT_Master.xls"
Dim wbMaster As Workbook
Dim srcrng As Range
Dim destrng As Range
How do you check to see if this is the only workbook open. Basically, I want something like:
If only workbook open
application.quit
else
activeworkbook.close
