When I close my worksheet excel asks me if I wish to save the file one last time, if I click 'yes' I would like some more code to be executed and then have the spreadsheet save itself and close definitively, how can this be done using vba?
View 9 RepliesEach of the worksheets in my model use A1 as a control cell for any errors and inconsistencies. My aim is to disable save and close commands in case A1 is not equal to 0 in any of the worksheets.
The code I currently use for that purpose is as follows.
I have two procedures in two different access forms. First procedure executes fine. It ends up with creating a Table1 by importing the data successfully from the Excel file. But after that later when I call procedure 2, it throws the below error when it is trying to import the data in to Table2. I think the Excel "Test.xls" did not save properly and close in the Procedure 1. I could see some Excel thread running in the Task Manager. How can I handle this. Please advice. Your expertise help will be truly appreciated. I am absolutely new to this VB-Access code world.

I have some code which formats a worksheet based on user selections in a form. The code works, except when the user has made the same selections in two multi-select list boxes. I need to find a way to determine whether the code has already formatted the worksheet.
To me, it seems that there might be two ways to do this, 1) have a test on the original block of code that checks whether this portion of the code has already executed for this variable or 2) check the worksheet for the string (the code formats the same string each time but adds the variable for the current iteration of the loop only if Year1 = True.) The problem is that I only want to format the column if it hasn't already been formatted for that selection.

I was working on a presentation for work where I wanted to build a 'Family Feud' type board to play a game. In the board I am using activex text boxes with code that would hide the text box to reveal the answer underneath or it would show a custom shape (an X in a box) and play the buzzer sound. The code is pretty simple, first I would make the shape visible, then I would play the sound then the shape would be made invisible. If I step through the macro everything works fine, but when I run the macro, you never see the shape. It's almost as if the sound plays before the shape shows up and then it is made invisible again. I tried putting a wait and a sleep command between making the shape visible and playing the sound but that made no difference. If I remove the code to hide the shape at the end and run the macro, the sound plays and then the shape appears. Is there anyway to have the shape appear prior to or at the same time as the sound plays?
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton8_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
ActiveSheet.Shapes("First Strike").Visible = True
Play_Strike_Sound
'The previous line refers to another macro that has the code commented below. The sndPlaySound32
'function is one I picked up from cpearson.com
'sndPlaySound32 "C:\_Fin SysSoundsff-strike.wav", SND_SYNC
ActiveSheet.Shapes("First Strike").Visible = False
End Sub
I have inherited support for the an Excel 'program' that seems to be fairly unstable. I am currently having problems with the following code in a subroutine (executed when the user presses a command button):
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.PrintTitleRows = "$1:$7"
.PrintTitleColumns = ""
.PrintArea = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
End With
Sometimes it works and sometimes I get the following error: Run-time error '1004'
Unable to set the PrintArea property of the PageSetup class.
… on the .PrintArea = ActiveSheet.UsedRange

One of my computers pulls info from my cash register once everyday (sales info). Then I have a excel monthly sales sheet that pulls the info from the register info and puts it in the right places. So the computer pulls the register info at 9:20pm everyday, then I have my task manager open excel at 9:25 everyday and it has a workbook open macro to automatically pull the info into the excel spreadsheet. Here's my problem-- I need to close it.
I'm sure I could use a workbook close macro, but when it tries to close it won't it come up with a save, don't save, cancel prompt? Nobody will be there to hit SAVE so it won't close? Is there just a macro that could save it then close it?
I have a macro that has to open another worksheet and get data and close the sheet. The problem is when the sheet closes after I have gotten the data it asks if I want to save it. I don't want the user of my macro to see this option because it slows things down. To avoid this in the past I had the worksheet save itself so that it wouldn't ask me to save. Now the worksheet is large and it takes a while to save and it is getting slow. Is there any way not to save it but close it without having excel asking if you want to save it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to use the BeforeClose event to save the workbook with the same name when a user closes it. (82 users and they all seem to want to give it their own name.)

i triggered it to load on workbook close, but like i say, it seems to run it twice? maybe i need to tell it to only run once or something?
When a supervisor goes into one of my sheets and adds some things in, she quite often forgot to share it again. To try and combat this I added the following code:-
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(cancel As Boolean)
Dim myworkb As String
myworkb:
myworkb = ThisWorkbook. Name
If myworkb = "SLE.MasterSheet.SLE1.xls" Then
Call NoProtection
ActiveWorkbook. SaveAs Filename:="SLE.Mastersheet.SLE1.xls", accessmode:=xlShared
End If
Call Limpa
Run "DeleteMenu"
End Sub
The code appears to do everything it should, and when I first ran it appeared to be ok. However, now it appears to save it as shared yet when you go back into the file it opens up as exclusive.... Is there a reason why the code wont "share" ?
I've got a 'Control Panel' spreadsheet which is all based on UserForms. When a user clicks a particular button, it opens one of many separate 'Regional' sheets which they work in.
When the user closes the 'Regional' sheet, I would like the 'Control Panel' sheets userforms to show again. However I can find no way of doing this as it simply switches back to the 'Control Panel' sheet without loading the forms (as I had to hide the 'Control Panel' useforms to give them access to the 'Regional' sheet).
i would like my sheet to save and close if left inactive after 10 mins, code would be nice
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to fix is that I have two computers networked together both with multiple users all with access to the report form that I am using which is in the shared file. If I have been working on it (I am still trying to do improvements when I have time), and I have to leave for a fire or forget to close the report, no one can access it other than with read-only.
My idea was to run some type of code that either when the screen saver comes on or after so much time with no activity, it would close and save the file with a new file name(just in case I don't want the changes that I have made in the code or something).
I call the macro below from a Workbook_BeforeClose sub; however, if the user has not saved changes before they hit the close then the Sub SaveFile runs and then after the backup save they are then asked do you want to save changes.
I initially had this sub run with Workbook_BeforeSave, but I don't really want to run this everytime the user selects save.
Any ideas on how to how the save changes first and then the backup?

It seems like I need to rename the sheet I am working on in order for this code to work. If I do not, it tells me that it "cannot save this workbook with the same name as another open workbook".
I am trying to use this code to get around an error with Excel described here: [url]
I would like to have the sheet save itself (not "Save As"), close, reopen, and continue running the macro. What adjustments do I need to make to this code to do this. I have tried different things, but I must be getting the syntax wrong.
I'm not sure what I'm missing here, but I am trying to exit a spreadsheet using VBA code without saving changes.
The following code, to my mind, should work, but I keep getting a dialog asking if I want to save changes.
'* ensure workbook does not request user to save it...
ThisWorkbook.Saved = True
'* exit Excel...
Application.Quit
I've got some code that reformats a file that a supplier sends us. They seem to randomly change the structure, so I'm trying to make the code a bit more robust.
Part of the code uses MATCH to look for specific column headings, so I've got some error handling around this of the format:
On Error GoTo NoIncCol
Line using MATCH
On Error GoTo Exiting
where Exiting is my standard error handling (Close without Save) and NoIncCol is the same, but with an error message saying that the term the code was trying to MATCH can't be found. This works well for me.
In another part of the code, I need to check for another column heading, which so far has turned up in two different forms. At the moment I'm doing this as follows:
With Sheets("Sheet1").Range("1:1")
Set rFound = .Find("Term1")
If Not rFound Is Nothing Then
a = "Term1"
Else
This feels a bit clunky, and I don't really like having what is essentially error-handling in the middle of my code. But the only other way I can think of to do it is to use a GoTo, and I believe that's not really considered good practice either.
I am trying to create a form button that will save as and close the active workbook. I have the Save As code working but I can't find any code to close the workbook that will work. A couple of issues: I don't have control of what the workbook is called - the user will name it - so I can't do a simple Workbooks (" ").Close. Also, I don't want to quit the application. I don't know if the user will have other worksheets open. I also tried ActiveWorkbook.Close and that didn't seem to work either. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
