View 3 RepliesI don't know what exactly is happening, but every step of the macro is happening every 1 second. Literally, the BPM is 60. It will execute a step in the macro every second, when in other macro's i've made, it zips right through as if it was on fast forward.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a macro in one file which uses an input box where the user types in a subcontractor code to retrieve address and contact details from another file.
If the user inputs the incorrect subcontractor code, an error message box pops up. Currently the user then has to select a button in the original file to restart the macro at the input box stage.
What I want to happen is when ok is selected on the error message, to return to the input box so in my macro below where the error message says "An error occurred - you asked for a subcontractor that does not exist. Please try again." and the user selects OK, I would like it to return to the 'Enter the Subcontractor line and the "Please enter the Subcontractor code" input box reappears.
I don't understand the relationships that are happening and what the final value would be if for example the PT was Red. I'm confused and was curious how four lines could all equal different values(highlighted).
UpUserPaint = UCase(RegPaint.Value)
Dim icount As Integer
LenRegPaint = Len(RegPaint.Value)
For icount = 1 To LenRegPaint
ValPAint = ValPAint + Asc(Mid(UpUserPaint, icount, 1))
Next icount
If PTRed.Value Then
ColorCompare = Abs(Pallet * (ValPAint + PrdtSeed - LenRegPaint))
ColorCompare = Abs( Round(ColorCompare / PrdtSeed - 7227, 0))
ColorCompare = ColorCompare And 6215971
ColorCompare = ColorCompare Xor 6215971.............................
I have a peice of code which opens up a number of Workbooks (200+) and updates a series of control tables in each. Given our security etc environment, links and external references etc are not possible. The target files must all be standalone and self-sufficient.
The problem I have is that when I run the procedure in question in the usual way, the procedure simply terminates after the first file is opened. No error messages, no distress - it just stops. I have put debugging calls all around the "Workbook.Open" call, and it simply doesn't make it out of the call. There is no Auto_Open code in the workbooks being opened and (as I indicated above) no external links, references or function calls.
What's weird is that if I step through the procedure in the Command Debugger, everything works fine. Even weider, if I complete step-by-step processing on the first target file then I can press "Play" and the code will complete execution and process all the remaining files without error.
I have rebuilt/recreated/re-ordered the target files and even moved them to a different volume.
If anyone has seen this before, or has any idea what the cause may be, or even just a wild idea, I'd love to hear it.
Code segment attached.
*
'*** Process each file in the list provided
'*
For intCounter = 1 To intWBS_Files
Call Debug_Msg("Opening WBS File")
Application.EnableEvents = False
Set wbkThis_WkBk = Application.Workbooks.Open(strWBS_Files(intCounter), 0, False)
Application.EnableEvents = True
Call Debug_Msg(("Opened WBS File:" & Chr(13) & strWBS_Files(intCounter)))
If (wbkThis_WkBk Is Nothing) Then
Call Write_Error_Record("File Open Failed", strWBS_Files(intCounter))
Else
Code continues.....
How do you disable or delete a button in VBA code after the button is pressed?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am creating a fool proof, well as near as I can get it, spreadsheet for them to work in and want them to follow the rules I set out!!
I am able to disable cut, copy, paste etc but was wondering if it was possible for to disable to use of the "Delete" function from the menu when you right click on a cell and also disable to the Delete key on the keyboard?
I have a sheet,i want the users unable to select any cells,but a column is free to select an change and enter the inputs. I want to delete and shift up zero cells on that free column,but this property is disable when i protect the sheet.
How I protect other cells from selection and change,and enable delete and shift up for the column that not protected.
For example: I have the attachment file,every column is protected except column "H". I want a macro to when I clear content of any cell in this column,every cells shift up and every non zero cell put from row 1 to... and after them zero cells put.
I would like to disable cut/copy/paste and maybe delete inside a worksheet. Reading earlier threads on this subject provided the code to put in the ThisWorkbook module, where it works great for all my worksheets. However, there is one worksheet where it is necessary to have copy/paste, either with control c or right click/copy. Here is part of that code provided by Tom Urtis:
Private Sub Workbook_Activate()
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.OnKey "^c", ""
Application.CellDragAndDrop = False
End Sub
What do I replace Application with to work on just the worksheet level?
I'm using Excel 2003
Cell D7 - data validation reads as such: It is a List and the source is I6:I7. I have In-Cell dropdown selected. Ignore Blank is not checked.
I now password protect the sheet and only D7 is unlocked. real simple, the person using it can only use D7 and select one of two in the drop down menu.
The problem is, if the user clicks on D7 and hits delete, the cell goes blank. How can I avoid this?
I have a question concerning Macros and the Disable/Enable prompt. My boss has a spreadsheet which has been used for years and he recently wanted to and did remove the macros from the spreadsheet (they were no longer necessary), but the disable/enable prompt still appears when the spreadsheet is opened. I replicated this in a test spreadsheet with a simple insert line macro and received the same results. Is there a way to remove the macros and the disable/enable prompt once they are removed? I know about setting the security to low to not see the prompt, but I would think that once the macros are deleted, the prompt should not appear any more.

View 2 Replies View Related,I have the following Macro:
VB:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()Worksheets("Sheet1").ActivateRange("$B$1").SelectSheets("Sheet1").ScrollArea = "A1:z25"End Sub
Now I want to disable the above such that I am able to add an Apostrophe ( ' ) in front of every line of this Macro. Is there a shortcut for this or do I need to Manually add apostrophe in front of every line? And then after disabling if I need to re-enable it is there a shortcut to that too?
from 1 sheet i am opening several other worksheets and read in the bits i want.
i am finding that on occasions the workbook_open on these sheets is causing great performance issues because of the calc mode set to automatic in the open routine of the individual sheets. i dont need it to be set to auto but the sheet owners perfer it to be set like this and i cant turn it off their sheets. is ther a way of opening a workbook from a macro and then override its workbook_open routine?
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(sSourceFolder & "" & "mySheet.xls", False, True)
i cant find any other switches that i could use to disable this.
I have a Workbook on a shared drive, with a button that runs a macro.
Is there a way to disable this if anyone makes a copy of this workbook, or does Save As? (If it is not the original workbook).
i have 2 macro icons.
i want to disable the icons after its clicked once.
I am using the Worksheet_Change function behind a worksheet that executes some code every time a change is made on the worksheet.
ie.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
End Sub
Is it possible to disable this function while running another macro? Therefore, when I enable Screen.Updating, the Worksheet_Change function will not be triggered.
I have a Worksheet_Calculate Macro running in my workbook. I'd like to disable it temporarily when running another macro because its causing excel to run sluggishly.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow to disable a macro when the workbook opened is a copy ** the original, the only difference between the 2 files would be the date created, could it possible to use some VBA to check for this "Date Created", and if the date is different from the original, then the copy will not able to run the macro or some sheets will be hidden in the copied file?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a macro in a workbook template,that when the workbook is open it populates a cell with the date and time such as 111711.507. This becomes the contract number for this workbook.. They complete the form or workbook and save it. The next time they open the saved workbook the macro runs and changes the contract number to a new number. I want to disable the macro on the saved workbook from changing the number.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to code a macro call where in once the file is saved with the current week start date all the other macro's should be disabled. Since am having lot of data and report sheets which needs to be added and deleted in the run. It causes me problem when I try to open it again to view the results. For example I have a sheet named apple and another one applereport. I have made my code to delete apple since it is a data sheet. I want apple report to have all the other macros disabled once its been renamed to week start date for now it is 16 Mon 2007.

I'm trying to run a loop that doesn't go through every value between the lower and upper bounds so am using Step at the end of the For line:
For j = 0 To s Step loop_step
'Does stuff in here - not relevant
Next j
The amount that is being stepped through is set as a variable previously - called loop_step, and works fine for small values (e.g. stepping through 10 at a time) but comes up with an error for 1000. I haven't checked how large the value needs to be before it creates an error, but I was wondering if anyone knew if there's a limit on the number you can step through? Otherwise I have no idea what's causing this problem!
I get a report that I have to manually edit everyday. I've done some VBA, but not sure where to start with this one.
The attachment has two sheets, first is what I get and the second is what I want. I'll explain the process i have to go thru now and maybe I can get some help to automate it.
First
-Add the tech number to the first column for each job for each tech.
7988 us the first tech number.
-Then delete every row that isn't a job.
-Add a column with the install date.(report data near the top.)
-Add a column and populate it with the system, which is the sheet name.
Thats why its example.
This little piece of code is where I'm having problems.
A36:A45 will always be the same.
The problem is in getting ("R2:AA2") to move to ("R3:AA3") ...
What needs to happen for the loop to work?
Code:
Worksheets("List").Select
Range("A36:A45").Select
Selection.Copy
Worksheets("Month").Select
Range("R2:AA2").Select
I've tried:
Dim rngDC as Range
then Set rngDC = Worksheets("Month").Range("R2:AA2")
So that I can later use rngDC = RngDC.Offset(1,0)
However, when I try rngDC.Select I get an error saying I can't select the variable that way.
Here's the complete code:
Sub Import()
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.Visible = True
With Sheets("Month")
[Code] ....
I am looking at the code in a MODULE, I can use "F8" to step through it.
But if I have no module just the main project code I cannot find a way to step through it.
I have written this code to change the colour of a row of cells to bright green and to change the cell contents of cell(Row, 15) from “L” to “F”: This is the main workbook into which are pulled values from three others. I then want it to open one of the subsidiary workbooks, that feeds the information, to change the same job row to bright green and to change the cell contents of cell(Row, 15) from “L” to “F”. Then I want to save the changes and return to the main sheet: - The ActiveCell contains the Job Number.
Option Explicit
Public rw As Integer
Public Col As Integer
Public Job As String
Public JobNo As String
Public RowNo As Integer
Public wName As String
Public times As Integer
Public Pips As String
Public Nicolas As String
Public Cindys As String
Public wb
Sub FinishedinOfficeCindy()
.
rw = ActiveCell.Row
JobNo = ActiveCell
Col = ActiveCell.Column
If Col 1 Then
Check that the correct
MsgBox "Please choose the Job Number first"column is selected and
Exit SubThat the workbook is
End Ifthe correct one
If Cells(rw, 14) "Cindy" Then
MsgBox "Wrong Secretary Chosen - whoops!"
Exit Sub
End If
All works perfectly when I step through it but, when it is activated (Ctrl+Shift+C) it opens the other workbook and then seems to end? I even tried putting in delays to see if they would help but they didn’t.
I do have code, but this thing (which appears on the Excel window, not the VBE window) doesn't seem to be connected to any of my code.
What is this, and what caused it to suddenly pop up on me in Excel?
