Form Freezes At Execution
Oct 8, 2007
I have a multipage form that I'm using to create a wizard that accepts data from the active workbook via a refedit box, however, when I try to execute the entire form freezes at runtime. The editor will bring up the workbook but the entire workbook freezes.
I cannot click any of the buttons on the form, exit the form, input the range into the refedit box, or even click on any cells in the worksheet. Everything was working perfectly fine until I started adding command buttons to other pages of the multipage form, but no code has been added.
I don't even have code to link the pages together, all I did was add command buttons and change the names on them. I'm having a hard time believing this is what's causing excel to freeze up, but I haven't done anything else. I've checked my loops and they are fine.
I've also gone back to another copy and deleted everything on the other pages and left only page 1, but this is still failing.

I have this codes which will only trigger if I manually execute it. What do I need to do to trigger it automatically whenever the worksheet change.
Below is the codes:
Sub Risk_Color()
Dim c As Range, myFontCol As Integer, myCol As Integer
For Each c In ActiveSheet.Range("f7:g20000")
myFontCol = xlAutomatic
myCol = xlNone
Select Case c.Value
Case Is = 1, 2, 3
myCol = 34
Case Is = 4, 5, 10, 20: myCol = 43
Case Is = 30, 40, 50: myCol = 6
Case Is = 70, 100, 140, 150
myCol = 5
myFontCol = 2

I am having trouble with my workbook. When I am changing the value in the main cell ("Moses!B5") the whole program freezes. The code is as follows and was developed to ensure the values in my cells did not change as the main cell value changed:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
For Each c In Range("A1:AF14")
If c.Value = 1 Then c.Value = 1
Next
End Sub
I think the problem is that all of my sheets are calculating and I only want the one which contains the cell which matches my main cell ("Moses!B5"). Is there a way to trigger calculation only for the sheet which contains a date cell matching my main cell?

I have a Workbook that will freeze while trying to open.
Macro Security is set to Medium (klik "Disable Macro" )
The Hour Glass mouse pointer will stay on "Wait" then a "Not Responding" Alert will appear on the top blue bar of Excel.
The only way to shutdown Excel is by using the Task Manager ( Cnt_Alt+Del)
All other workbooks open OK on their own, but as soon as I trt to open the problem workbook, everything Excel freezes.

I have a little issue with a list-box. When i open my workbook and i click on the List Box the list box freezes, excel doesn't let me select it until i go to design mode, select the list box then close out of design mode. This sort of "fixes" the issue but i would rather not do so this way.

I have an issue with the excel freeze in our organisation.
Our organisation works on Citrix and the office applications have been upgraded to 2010 very recently.We have both 2003 excel users and 2010 excel users.There is a user who has a problem working on excel 2010 the excel freezes.Excel 2010 works fine for some time and all at a sudden hangs,once its hung it freezes all the other applications.
The same file runs properly on the other 2010 systems.The Excel file which hangs are also not of huge in size.
I am unable to get to the rootcause of the issue why the excel freezes or hangs in the middle of the work getting to the root cause of the issue and an answer for the excel hanging.

Background: The user makes a selection from a drop down box on the main sheet (sheet5, G12). The drop-down box is linked to *Sheet31.Pax_Nav*. If the drop-down box's linked cell value is less than 5, then do nothing (manual input required). If it is greater than 5, then the vlookup matches that number to a person in the database and returns their weight. The code will pull the required person's weight but then Excel will hang and freeze.
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
On Error Resume Next
If Sheet31.Range("Pax_Nav") > 5 Then
Sheet5.Range("G12").Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(Sheet31.Range("Pax_Nav").Value, Sheet31.Range("H17:L48"), 5, False)
Else
End If
End Sub

it would be possible to have text disappear after being displayed in Excel for a while.
My son and I played around with games (helping create a photographic memory, I told the youngster!) on the thing and until yesterday neither of us noticed that clicking the mouse anywhere (actually just clicking it) causes the screen to "freeze" while the code still happily erases the text in the background.
Hitting ESC allows the screen to cath up to the actual code EVEN THOUGH the ESC key is actually disabled from breaking the code.

I've managed to use some code I found to add a new row below the selected row, and duplicate all the forumlas of the source row. It worked fine dozens of times yesterday, but today it's decided not to work. It gets as far as creating the new row(s), but then just hangs & excel crashes before duplicating the formulas. I've even tried reverting to an earlier version, which also worked fine, but this crashes also!
Sub Add_New_Row()
' Unlock Worksheet
Worksheets("Sheet1").Unprotect Password:="*****"
Dim x As Long
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Select 'So you do not have to preselect entire row
If vRows = 0 Then
vRows = Application.InputBox(prompt:= _
"How many rows do you want to add?", Title:="Add Rows", _
Default:=1, Type:=1) 'Default for 1 row, type 1 is number
If vRows = False Then Exit Sub
End If
'if you just want to add cells and not entire rows
'then delete ".EntireRow" in the following line
Dim sht As Worksheet, shts() As String, i As Integer
Redim shts(1 To Worksheets.Application. ActiveWorkbook. _
Windows(1).SelectedSheets.Count)..................................

I am using Excel 2010.
My objective is to pull specific values from an external file corresponding to the correct name and year of my choosing. The first way I thought would be best is to use an INDEX/MATCH function. The problem is the external files change names so I would need a method to easily change the source file name from one cell. I then stumbled across the INDIRECT function, but the INDIRECT function will only work when the source file is also opened. I then came across Harlan Grove's pull function which allows you to import data from closed excel files.
So, this is what my formula looks like: =INDEX(pull("'"&G12&"");MATCH(C15;pull("'"&G14&"");0);MATCH(D15;pull("'"&G16&"");0))
Cells G12,G14, and G16 contain the file paths for the ranges. C15 is name and D15 is year.
The problem I have though is that when I try to execute the function, Excel gets stuck. if the code cannot handle large amounts of data. I tested the code with a simple SUM function for a small range from an external file and it worked just fine.
This is the code I am using:

I have an intensive VB program I've written that the user kicks off by clicking a button. I update a particular cell near the button with progress numbers so they can see what's going on. (This calculation can take up to 10 minutes.)
Sometimes, though, the UI stops updating. I know the calculation is still running because it completes eventually.
I am guessing Excel is getting too many updates to its screen (i.e. that cell) to keep up with the calculation going on in another thread, so it just gives up on the updating.
Is there a way to force Excel to keep updating the screen? I'm willing to give up the 0.01% slowdown in exchange for continuing to see progress. I see no need for the VB calculation thread to hog out the screen updater.

We are attempting to use the macro below.
We believe that the problem is "memory related."
However, we can't find the correct workaround to the issue.
In Excel 2002, the behavior was for the macro to work great on small numbers of rows, but to just stop on large numbers of rows. After it stopped, the user would manually run the macro throughout the spreadsheet, by holding down Ctrl + N.
In Excel 2007, the behavior of the program is different, and Excel actually freezes up.
We've narrowed down the problem to be possibly "memory related."
However, we don't know the correct workaround for this.
For example, in the posting below (the referenced link) they suggest using "variant arrays" to address memory limitations type of issues ... but I'm not sure of how to implement those.

I have an inputbox that asks a question. If the user enters an incorrect response, a messagebox appears telling them to enter the correct word and returns to the inputbox. The code works fine, however the messagebox doesn't disappear after they click OK. Is there a way hide or get rid of the messagebox once they click OK or Cancel? My code is below:
inputboxVorD:
VorD = Application.InputBox("Is this for Voice or Data?", "Voice or Data", Type:=2)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Select Case VorD

I am trying to fix a problem that I am having with Bloomberg add-in for Excel. Each day I populate 31 days of historical price data for 500+ stocks.
$A$K3 = "ACE US EQUITY"
$AL$3 = "=BDH(AK3,"PX_LAST",$D$1,$C$1,"DTS=h","dir=h")"
$C$1 = "=WORKDAY(TODAY(),0)"
$D$1 = "=BAddPeriods(C1,"NumberOfPeriods=-31","Per=wd","CDR=#A")"
What is supposed to happen is that in $AL$3:$BQ$3 there will be prices for 31 days.
I leave the workbook open as the Bloomberg DDE session remains open for 3 days even if the Bloomberg executable is not running.
Sometimes there is no problem and when I come into work the following day, the data is shifted forward by one day. Other times, much of the data is missing and I am forced to select and refresh each $AL$_ field. The problem with this is that for some reason the refresh is happening synchronously and I think this is causing havoc on the DDE connection and/or Excel. Resulting in slow/no updates. Also, if I refresh the worksheet some formulas will be overwritten with static data!
What I would like to do is create a macro that will:
1) clear all data in $AL$_:$BQ_$ & $BS$_:$CX_$
2) set the value of $AL$_ = "=BDH(AK$_,"PX_LAST",$D$1,$C$1,"DTS=h","dir=h")"
3) wait until the data is populated into $AL$_:$BQ$_ before going to $AL$(+1):$BQ$(+1); if $AM$_ has a value then most likely the data has populated in that row.
4) then when $AL$_:$BQ$_ is finished, do the same for $BS$_:$CX$_
I have been waiting for Bloomberg support to fulfill this request for over one month now with no results.
I have a very minute amount of code below:
PHP Code:
Sub PopulateData() PopulateData Macro Range("AL2:BQ2").Select
Selection.ClearContentsRange("AL2").SelectActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _ "=BDH(RC[-1],
""PX_LAST"",R1C4,R1C3,""DTS=h"",""dir=h"")"Range("AL2").SelectEnd Sub

I have the following piece of
Sub Summarise_Variations()
Dim myRange As Range
Dim Write_Cell As Long
With Application
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.StatusBar = "Please wait - Summarising variations..."
End With
It happily goes through a list and sums multiple records. It might not be the most efficient or best way to do it but it works and when I run it on a couple of stand alone sheets it takes a couple of seconds to process if that.
Unfortunately when I run it as part of the overall application that I've developed it takes ages to run, i.e. more like ten minutes.
The spreadsheet has a few graphs and about 250 sumproduct and array formula live in it but all other formula on other sheets are created and then paste valued as part of other VBA routines. As you can see I've also turned calculation off as the procedure runs so don't understand why it is suddenly taking so long.

I have a problem with the following code
Dim strProcLine As String
With ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents(ActiveChart.CodeName).CodeModule
' MsgBox ok
' adaugat procedura goala
.CreateEventProc "Calculate", "Chart"
'MsgBox ok
strProcLine = "Format_Chart"
' MsgBox ok
.InsertLines .ProcBodyLine("Chart_Calculate", 0) + 1, strProcLine
' MsgBox ok
End With
' MsgBox ok
This is part of a larger macro, wich makes 2 pivottables and for each PT a chart, and for each chart i create an even procedure (Chart_Activate) wich calls a procedure to format the chart. Tha macro is alocated to the click even on a button in the sheet where i get the information from.
If i run the macro(click the button) with Microsoft Visual Basic Editor opened all goes ok. But if i close Microsoft Visual Basic Editor and then run the macro it stops right before .CreateEventProc "Calculate", "Chart" of the first chart , and i can't understand why. No error mesages delivered, nothing.

I have a macro that opens various files (via a loop) and then goes to each worksheet (via another loop) and looks through each row of data (a third loop).
Each worksheet can have over a thousand rows of data. Once I hit the button for the macro to run, it runs without any error messages, but it seems to take forever.
When I hit escape twice to interrupt the macro and then press the 'play' button, it zips through and finished running the macro really quickly. The interruption point is generally somewhere within the third loop.
It's almost as though it falls asleep and I have to wake it up.

I have macros that often pause for the user to take some action -- for instance, to confirm that the correct cells are selected, or to delete something. Usually I use the "Stop" command, which opens the VBA editor; when I finish doing the manual action, I just resume the macro.
When writing macros for actual users, I'd like to do the same thing without their having to deal with the VBA window. Is there a way to pause and resume action and remain in the Excel window?

I have to make eighty to ninety entries daily in Column B. Then transfer these entries to another column N,(by copy/paste) after that a maco "text to column" is executed. Now I have linked Column B to N like =B2, =B3, etc. etc. thus instead of copy/paste, the data when entered in Column B, is automatically going to Column N. I wish that the macro (text to entry) may be executed by each entry made in Column B. Is it possible with a macro?

I have a function which will allow me to search for combination of numbers which will sum to zero. However, because the range could be as long as 300 rows or even the possibility of not finding the combination that will sum to zero, the macro will take ages to complete or even causes the whole excel to hang. So What i want is to instruct macro to stop doing the search if it cannot find the results after say 20 minutes of searching.
Is that possible?

I have created two userforms which allows people to log-in to the worksheet.
The code works great on the first go, sometimes even twice, but after a while I get taken to the VBE and shown the message "Code execution has been interrupted". And highlights a certain part of my code (highlighted in red below).
I will copy all of the code relating to the userform below.

Code:
Private Sub CancelButton_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub
Private Sub ClearButton_Click()
TextUsername.Value = ""
TextPassword.Value = ""

On a worksheet I have a command button that displays a ConfigureCatalog form.
Code:
Public StopRequested as Boolean
'Worksheet Command Button will display the Configure Catalog Form
Private Sub CmdConfigure_Click()
CatalogConfigForm.Show vbModeless
End Sub
The ConfigureCatalog userform has two Command Buttons: cmdRebuildCatalog, and cmdStop. RebuildDSWCatalog is a macro that reads and analyzes just over 35,000 records and updates other worksheets. As it runs, it repaints the CatalogConfigForm with a progress message every 100 records. It can run for about 3 minutes. I want to provide a "STOP" button that will allow the user to interrupt the RebuildDSWCatalog macro and return control to the user.
Code:
Private Sub cmdRebuildCatalog_Click()
StopRequested = False
Call RebuildDSWCatalog
End Sub
Private Sub cmdStop_Click()
StopRequested = True
End Sub
While processing the 35,000 records, I want the RebuildDSWCatalog macro to check whether StopRequested has been set to TRUE prior to processing the record. If StopRequested = TRUE, I want to drop out of the macro.
Code:
Public Sub RebuildDSWCatalog()
StopRequested = FALSE
For DSWRecord = DSWStart To DSWCount
If StopRequested = True Then
[Code] ....
Problem is that once the RebuildDSWCatalog macro starts running, the STOP command button never seems to get the focus back. All other input is inhibited until the macro ends.
It just ignores that I'm hitting that STOP button. In fact, the button doesn't visibly respond at all until RebuildDSWCatalog finishes processing all 35,000 records.

There is definite problem, as the "Code execution has been interrupted" error message appears seemingly at random (although if the workbook doesnt change it is the same points), and for no reason.
If I click the continue button the macro runs exactly as planned, but still there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why this happens!
It even invokes on the workboon_open function.

I am writing a routine to retrieve multiple stock quotes by looping through a bunch of sheets and refreshing a bunch of querytables that access the web. My data source (Livecharts) is often clogged up and queries will fail or get lost in space so after initiating the queries I wait for a while using a waitable and then check to see if each query has completed or is still refreshing. If they are still refreshing I cancel them and refresh again. Or at least that was the plan. What I have discovered is that as long as the vba code is running the results from the queries do not come back into excel. As soon as the code is exited or I go into break mode in the debugger the queries complete.
Is there some way to get the queries to refresh during code execution? Here is a code snippet that shows what I am trying. I have defined a Class Module defining an "EventfulQTable" and it's associated methods and properties so I can have a QueryTable with events. The sub Wait uses the windows API SetWaiTable command to pause for a specified period of time. It includes a DoEvents command which I thought would allow the returning queries back into Excel but no such luck.
Sub Refresh_Queries()
Dim SheetNum As Integer, ListSheet As Integer
Dim eqtQT As New EventfulQTable
Dim QueriesDone As Boolean
SheetNum = 1
ListSheet = 12
QueriesDone = False
On Error Goto QueryError

Now..when I run any of my macros, I get the following message.. "Code Execution has been interrupted".
I'm not sure why I'm getting this message but it happens everytime I run ANY macro. Note that if I hit "Continue" every time it gives me the option, I am able to successfully run the macro, but obviously, I shouldn't have to do this.
