Protect An Excel File From Being Copied To External Device
Mar 24, 2009I have a file used by our employees through our local area network. Because that file has many functions and possibilities that took us a lot of time to create, I would like to protect this file so no employee can copy it to an external device without a password. It would be great, though, if the file could be exchanged or sent among employees as logn as it remains WITHIN our internal network.
Is it technically possible to protect an Excel file in a such a way?
Creating A User Interface For An Excel File
Jun 12, 2008I have been tasked by the company I work for to come up with a simple to use interface that can be used by someone with little understanding of excel to set the autofilters to certain settings.
So here is what I have:
2 sheets (each with the same number of columns but different data which corresponds to good and no-good)
Each column has an autofilter but only two on each sheet need to be set.
One filter controls valve type (of which there are 10) and the other controls running condition (startup and normal)
Now my employer wants something that is basically idiot proof so that someone can simply open up the excel file, input the valve type and running condition, and be rewarded with only the corresponding data and charts. Now the filters are already in place, the charts already exist and the only thing left is the user interface.
Device I/O Error

MIDI Device Error
Aug 31, 2007I have followed John Walkenbach's "Playing a MIDI File" instructions and also gleaned information from the Mr. Excel "Excel Questions" message board, but I am baffled by this error message that appears when I use Mr. Walkenbach's approach:
"The specified device is not open or is not recognized by MCI."
Timer- To Write Code Which Takes A Reading Off Of A Device Every .005 Seconds
Jun 22, 2007I am trying to write code which takes a reading off of a device every .005 seconds.
When I write the code as follows to take the reading every .004 seconds things work well.
PauseTime=5
Start = Timer
Oldtime=Timer
Do While Timer < Start + PauseTime
If Timer > Oldtime + .004 Then
Oldtime = Timer
Read(count) = Orbit.Networks(0).Modules(0).ReadCurrent
count = count + 1
End If
Loop
Finish = Timer
If however in the above code I only change .004 to .005 instead of taking readings every .005 seconds, I end up with readings roughly .015 seconds apart (approx)
Is there something unstable about the timer function to do this? Is there a different way to get a more stable result?

Jan 1, 2008I'm trying to write a macro in Excel to interface with "Attachmate".
My problem is when I do a "CreateObject" I receive error for active x can not create object.
I looked in the Excel Ref Lib for either "Attachmate" or "Extra". and could not find them.
Does any one know for sure if Excel can work with "AttachMate" if so can you provide directions.
I'm using Office 2003 Pro, Windows XP.
As a side note I've read of "AttachMate" can be coded to work with "Excel", but so far not the other way around.

May 29, 2008I have one workbook with two worksheets (Jan-JUly and Aug-Dec). I am using a userform to add data into worksheet ("Jan-July").

Userform As Printer Interface For Protected Workbook
Apr 21, 2014I'm closing in on the final stage of a large project and I've run into a road block. The following line of code is preventing my users from being able to select specific page ranges when using the Print Entire Workbook option in the print menu.

I've attached the latest version of my form (with significant support by jaslake) to explain what I'm attempting here. The attached form has several macros that activate upon open; including a user form. The password for the workbook/worksheets/VBE is "j".

Interface Design: Drop Down List Sources
Jun 4, 2006I am working on a workbook that contains drop-downs in various cells. The source for these drop downs are several Named Ranges on a tab named 'Drop Downs'.
I am locking the whole spreadsheet down so that people are not messing with the format, etc. (which is the current problem). So I don't allow people to add/delete rows, etc.
I am trying to think of a good interface to allow users to modify the entries in each drop down list (i.e. they may need to add a person to the "Resources" Range which feeds into a drop-down box elsewhere).
So, people should be able to add/delete items. I was thinking I would put a little 'X' next to each entry, such that when pressed - it would delete the corresponding entry. (Using the Assign Macro on a Text Box). However, I have to assign each 'X' a method to call - and I can't pass in an argument - so if I assign them all the same macro name - I won't be able to figure out which one was pushed. And the number of 'X' will be dynamic, so I can't hard code a bunch of functions. I don't really have a good idea for allowing additions yet (other than a button that prompts for the name and then adds it in).
I guess I could just use a Form that allows editing of the data (that would be easy and powerful to do), but I don't really want to do that - I want it to be editable within the excel spreadsheet itself.
Work With Main Interface While Userform Is Open
Jul 18, 2007I'm writing a program on VBA for Excel and I've succeeded in just displaying the Userform when opening the file. I have set the ActiveWindow.Visible option to False and the Application.Visible one to false as well so that i only have the user form displayed.
However, if i try to open an excel file via "My Computer", the file doesn't open. I also noticed that when I was leaving the application.visible option to True, i couldn't access the application while the userform was running. I think i need to do something with an event, but i can't find the event corresponding to opening a file oustide Excel.
Nifty Email Generator / User Database Interface?
Apr 27, 2012I've been trying to modify this code in several ways but I can't figure it out, I'd like to
a) use different sections for the email generation where the email address/surname/forename/location are in my user database
b) have a popup screen appear for the body of the email text, I don't like the idea of my secretary having to go into the code to change the text
c) another popup box requesting an email identifier that will set a 'flag' in the Email Information column to show they've had that email and (this may be ambitious) to record the body of the email text somewhere that I can review so there's a record of what's been sent out
This is the code

Dim oOLApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oOLMail As MailItem
Dim lRow As Long

Web Form Interface- Amount Of Lines Affects Speed
Sep 18, 2006I built a web form interface which I use to adjust orders on a web-based system our company uses.
The code I have looks at a sheet, checks if the line needs adjusted, makes adjustments as needed, and then clicks a box for lines needing ordered.
Here is the code I use:
Sub Adjustorder()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim ie As Object
t = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Adjust").Range("C3").Value 'checks for valid orders to adjust
If t = 0 Then MsgBox ("No Skus to add"): Exit Sub
Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
With ie
This all works fine, but the amount of lines can be anywhere from 1 to 11,000. The fewer the amount of lines needed to loop through, the faster it does each line. With 11,000 lines it took nearly 1 second per line. With 200 lines it took 2 seconds for all of them.
Protect And Unprotect All Sheets And Workbook Using Userform Interface And Password
Jul 6, 2012I am trying to create a way to protect and unprotect all sheets and the worbook by means of a Userform pop up interface.

Using Excel VBA To Control Word
Sep 21, 2009I'm writing a spreadsheet which performs automatic reporting in Word at the moment and, having done this once before I thought it would be simple... Unfortunately however I seem to have run into the following problem:
I'm trying to have Excel paste in a table, then move down one line, enter a page break and then repeat for all of the tables it needs to paste.
Among a rather large sub which I re-used from another project is this bit of code which is relevant to this part:
Dim AppExcel As Window
Set AppExcel = ActiveWindow
Set appwd = CreateObject("Word.Application")
appwd.Visible = True
Set appwd = CreateObject("Word.Application")
appwd.Visible = True
appwd.Documents.Open Filename:=FileToOpen
'select test bookmark
appwd.activedocument.Bookmarks("test123").Select
The key bit is this segment, which is the part repeated for each table (it all works up to here)
For K = ActionFrom To ActionTo
Cells(3, 2) = K
Call SelectNode
LR = Sheets("Data_Entry").Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
Worksheets("Data_Entry").Range("B7:I" & LR).Select
Selection.Copy
With appwd
.Selection.Paste
.Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1
.Selection.InsertBreak Type:=wdPageBreak
End With
Next K
The two bits in red are what I am trying to now do, but Word keeps returning the error 'bad parameter'. I've tried doing it both in and out of the 'with' function and I can't seem to make it work...
Custom Checkbox Control In Excel
Mar 6, 2006I have a user who is asking if it is possible to create a custom checkbox control for use inside of Excel. This new checkbox control is essentially a checkbox control that has other graphics around the checkmark other than a square.
For instance, he need to have a triangle that has a clickable checkmark inside it. He needs a circle with a clickable checkmark inside as well as a couple of other shapes that have a clickable checkmark inside (no square around the checkbox). I've tried to put a regular checkbox on top of a graphic but you have to deal with the square corners of the checkbox even if it's set to transparent.
Any code or otherwise on how to create a custom or add-in that would do what I describe?
How To Control Individual Functions In Excel Chart
Apr 13, 2014All of the functions' X Axis were given the same data (12,24,36,48), except ROULETTE and TOURNAMENT which were also given (60) for the X axis.
Why do the NORMAL bars aren't located on the place they should on the X axis?
For example, the 1st bar (from the left), should be a little more to the right. The others should move to the left.
Multiple Instances Of Excel And ActiveX Control Object
Feb 21, 2014I have an excel application which works extremely well in one single instancec. It has a bunch of ActiveX control objects on the worksheet. Generally I call them by convention Sheet1.Cmd.show.
I have since experimented with having multiple instances of excel running on the machine. I start to notice something very strange. The first instance I open and run all the activeX buttons are all clickable. As soon as I open a second instance of an excel program all the activeX buttons on the worksheet are not even clickable. They are enabled by my program, but not clickable as if they were not there at all.
I also try open a normal excel workbook then followed by my excel program in a second instance. Even though the first excel file does not utilize any activeX objects all my buttons on the subsequent instance are not clickable.
The weird thing is all my activeX control objects on a userforms are still clickable and call to all my planned events in my program. It is just all the activeX controls on my worksheet that do not have any reaction at all.
I always think when one opens a new instance it will be totally indpendent and would even occupy another CPU if my machine has more in it. If they are truly independent then I am at a loss to understand why my activeX controls would fail to work at all.

Calendar Control On Excel Worksheet - Default Start Date
Jul 9, 2012I have set up a calendar control on a userform and got it to pop up when selecting one of 3 cells on a worksheet. The various bits of code making this work are below.
This code is attached to the Userform.
VB:
Private Sub Calendar1_Click()
With ActiveCell
.Value = Calendar1.Value
[Code]....
What I am struggling with is that I'd like to have the calendar that pops up in cell C18 (which is Date of Birth) default to starting on 1st January 1987 not todays date. Also, if there is a value in either of the 3 cells that use the calendar, then I'd like the calendar to display that date. If the cell is empty then todays date is fine for cells G3 and G26.

Excel 2007 :: Mirrored Text And Icon In Dropdown Control?
Jul 18, 2012My drop downs are simple yes/no/NA witht a down arrow apprearing to the right. Works fine for all users except one troublemaker who for some reason sees the text and arrow as a mirrored, upside down image. It's not rotated to be upside down, it's mirrored so if you turned your monitor upside down you'd see the letters in the words backwards as if looking in a mirror. We're both on Excel 2007.
