Files In Windows Taskbar Change Order
Apr 12, 2013I have my Windows settings set up so that each file that I have open in Excel appear separately in my taskbar at the bottom of the screen. So for example, if I have 2 Excel files open, Excel appears in my taskbar twice instead of being grouped together.
I like to use this set up so that I know which file to click on when I'm working between multiple files. The problem is that on occasion, they will get out of order.
So let's say I have file A on the left and file B on the right. Then I save file A. After saving file A, now file B appears on the left and file A appears on the right. This also sometimes happens if I open a 3rd file.
Why does this happen and is there any way to prevent it?

Apr 5, 2005When I open more than one Excel file, it used to display them as separate icons on my task bar. But for some reason, now I only get one one icon, and I have to go to Windows on the Menu Bar to switch between them. I can't use Alt/Tab anymore. It only affects Excel.

Apr 15, 2012I was wondering if this code is supposed to make the icon on the taskbar change to the custom icon as well?
If not, what would need to be added or changed to make it so?
It changes the Userform Icon without issue and adds the userform to the taskbar, but it is not updating the icon on the taskbar.
Access Another Workbook Without It Showing On Taskbar
Jun 25, 2007I have a workbook which will open another workbook on a server, but i see it on the open and close on the task bar. Because I have 4 pc's with the main workbook open as single applications and one book on the server which collects info everytime a button is pressed, I would like it not to show on the on the task bar, needs to be invisable, is there any way of this?
Also
Can i see if a workbook is open, regardless of which PC (out of 4), which may not be the one i am using. So a way to see if a workbook is open anywhere else?
Show Collasped UserForm In Taskbar
Oct 9, 2007I have developed an Excel 2003 program that hides Excel through Application.Visible = False. All that shows are the series of about 10 forms that the user utilizes to add, change, update and report on information. However, I want to be able to show these forms in the taskbar when they are activated, and remove them when they are exited. I know WHERE in the code to put this, but can't find the right control to activate. I know VB6 has the "Show in Taskbar" property; does Excel have something similar?
View 7 Replies View RelatedExcel 2010 :: All Open Workbooks Are In One Taskbar Tab
Feb 28, 2014In Excel 2003 multiple Excel workbooks were separate tabs in the Task Bar.
Very easy to tab between open workbooks, with the keyboard -OR- minimum mouse travel to select an alternative tab/workbook.
In Excel 2010 there is only one tab for "Excel", and the only way I can find to toggle between workbooks is the "File" ribbon tab and the oceanic flourishes of "lists" and mouse travel and clicks ... to activate another open workbook. And guessing at file names because the left hand strip, "Recent Files", is way to narrow for even a modest file name.
Is there a setting/shortcut-keys that makes tabbing between workbooks more 21st century "time" efficient ?
Minimize Excel Window But Keep It Visible In Taskbar
Jun 27, 2014I'm working on an Excel workbook that is opened by a batch file, updates information, copy and pastes that information to PowerPoint, and closes itself after spending two minutes idle. This is all for an employee communication monitor that runs 24/7. However, I don't like that the Excel spreadsheet displays on the monitors for two minutes every time it opens and runs.
Right now I was using the bit of code below to minimize the workbook when it was done copying and pasting the information. It works fine for the monitors, but the application is not visible in the Taskbar.
Sub Workbook_Open()
...
Application.Visible = False
End Sub
Is there anyway to minimize the workbook while keeping the window visible in the taskbar?
Opened Workbook Files Not Showing In Taskbar
Mar 5, 2008I used to be able to see on the bottom bar that there are several Excel files that are opened. There would be a small black triangle next to the Excel button below. But now I need to do click the 'Window' button above to pull down the menu to access to other Excel files that are opened. This problem is only with Excel but not Word or Powerpoint? Is there a setting I must do in Excel? Auto Merged Post Until 24 Hrs Passes;
View 2 Replies View RelatedExcel 2010 :: Crash - Ready Calculate Flashing Taskbar When Closing / Opening Userform
Jan 8, 2014Excel will hang up as if it's gone into a continuous loop (Although no looping macros are active) when you open or close a user form. The task bar in Excel will flash Ready Calculate. Visual basic reports no code is running but excel either crashes or becomes very unresponsive. I have to exit and reopen excel in order to fix the problem . It also doesn't happen at any one specific point it can vary. I have various VLOOKUPs around the workbook and userforms display the correct information. I use the INDEX formula in the control source of textboxes. I also use the offset formula to make sure DTPICKER displays correctly.
I am using 'Option Explicit' at the start of all my code. I have tried a 3rd party code cleaner. No visual Basic references are MISSING

Keep UserForm On Top Of All Other Windows?
Sep 9, 2013I used to think my excel skills were OK until I started working with userforms but I now realise that I have a long way to go.
I need to enter data from various WEB sites onto a worksheet and at the moment I'm toggling between each web site and the worksheet. What I would like to do is set up a userform which I can enter data from each page into and when finished hit a commandbutton to transfer it to the worksheet.
I'm mostly OK with creating the userform but not sure what code, and where I need to add it, to keep the userform on top of all other windows.
Also not sure if it's possible, I have another worksheet that has a series of hyperlinks that when selected open a web page, I can create a combobox that shows the the display names of the hyperlinks but not sure what code I need to add a commandbutton or some other control that will open the hyperlink.
Scrolling Of Several Windows
Nov 6, 2007way of getting two sheets to scroll together, so when I scroll one window the other one moves too? Some text editors have that future (IIRC UltraEdit does)
I can't find a scroll event in the windows code to trigger a macro to run itself.
I can get around it by using a selection change event which would restrict me to moving around with the cursor keys/Pageup/down, but I've got 15,000 to review regularly in a short space of time and it would be quicker by mouse

Create New File In Windows
Jun 10, 2009I am looking for the best way to create a new file in windows. I am just looking to create a save filename template. After I run a macro, a graph is created and printed to pdf. I want this macro to create a filename, so that when the save as dialog box opens, I just have to doubleclick the existing filename. Then I save the excel workbook as another.
For example, after I run the macro, the pdf printer will open up a save as dialog to c: emp. I want to have this macro create two files there, one DaveGraph.PDF and one DaveExcel.xls. They really won't be files, just names. They can be 0kb files. I want it to be as efficient as possible. I know I could create a new workbook and save it there with the correct name, but isn't there an easier way?

Nov 15, 2011Im having trouble switching between windows that are open in separate instances of excel.
I used to be able to switch easily between these workbooks when they were both being being run in the same instance of excel.
But since having to change it so the workbooks are opened in seperate instances, i cannot get it to work, the code just fails when it trys to activate the first window.
I currently have the below code:
Code:
Sub CloseAndSave()
Application.EnableEvents = True

Windows.activate Not Working...
Dec 11, 2006I have the below VBA code that I'm working on where I run it after I already have a workbook entitled BRNewBusiness121106.xls (or whatever day it is when I'm running the code) that's open, and the code opens another workbook, BR-MasterAccounts.xls and then does some work between the two workbooks.
The code is stopping with a "subscript out of range" error at this line:
Windows("BRNewBusiness" & Format(Date, "mm/dd/yy") & ".xls").Activate
Why is it doing this? What change do I need to make so the code will activate that already-open workbook?

Housekeeping For Code Windows
Aug 6, 2007I have just messed up my explorer window and can't get it back the way it was.
I currently have three windows showing, Project, Properties and Code. Previously the windows were all linked so that if I widened the code window, the other two would become narrower. If I made the Project window taller, the Proerties window would automatically reduce in height.
My three windows are now totally independant of each other.
Cant Open Spreadsheets From Windows
Oct 1, 2008I've had a new machine, and for some reason if i try and open excel files by double-clicking on a .xls file, excel tries to open each part of the filename individually!!!!
For eg, if i have a file called week 1 report.xls, and i double click that, it gives me 3 messages saying:
cant find c:filepathweek.xls
cant find 1.xls
cant find report.xls
I can get round it by going into excel first, and opening the files from there but it's a right head-doer!!!
I'm on windows XP, and using excel 2003 to open the files...
Windows Program Installer
Nov 10, 2006I downloaded a workbook at one time and it actually installed the workbook as if it were an actual program on my computer. I would go to Start-All Programs-and it was listed there. I thought this was very cool. Is something like this done through excel/vba or was a third party application used in conjucnction. I know some of Dave's evaluation workbooks are setup this way, but I can't remeber which one.
