I need to know that how can we share excel workbook. Is it possible over LAN? Also how many users can access the shared workbook. If 50 users are accessing shared workbook and each one working on different workbook. Is this scenario feasible? Will there be any issue if 50 users working on 50 different worksheets of same workbook?
View 2 RepliesI have a large worksheet that for some reason I can’t share.
-It does not have any lists, that I know of, do not know how to see if there are any
-It does have validation, but I have other workbooks with listed validation that are shareable
-It is not protected
-Does not have any named ranges
-Is not read only
-I have saved it as another file name and no luck there
-I have copied the one sheet I really need into a separate file to try that it did not work,
Is it possible to use the userform when it is protected and shared.
I am able to access when it is protected. but unable to access when that protected worksheet is shared.runtime error message " unprotect method sheet class failed" appears it is shared and used.I have already raised this [b]issue in the forum.I understood from the answers that it is not possible.
" My requirement is multiple users should use the form and they should not have the access to edit the entires made by them"
Please give me a solution.
" Being a moderator myself i should only be able to edit or modify the entries made by the users."
Note:
I dont want to create multiple excel sheets for multiple users.i want to use a single excel sheet (Shared and protected)
Also provide me an alterante solutions if any
I have a workbook full of tables and pivot tables. When I try to share it tells me to convert the tables to ranges or to something about XML.

I am looking for all Excel files in a folder (WORKING) and determining if they are shared, allowmultipleusers, (WORKING). The problem I am encountering is changing the Excel workbook to a [SHARED] workbook. By that I mean Multiple users can open and make changes. What is the syntax to enable that? As an FYI I can save the [SHARED] workbooks as exclusive (normal), but not the reverse. I have tried Saveas,,,,,,xlshared, but is not working. Here is the VBS code I have (For grins)

While in a workbook called "Main_Workbook.xls", I use a sub to open another workbook called "SecondWorbook.xls". Here's the code to do that:
Sub OpenWorkbook()
ExcelFile = Application. GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Microsoft Excel

Workbooks.Open FileName:=ExcelFile

I have a problem with the Excel UserName & opening of a second xls File. Info:
The first file macro, looks as to the Excel UserName, and sets which worksheets from a second file in the network the person can see. then changes the Excel UserName to "helpdl", this is done because only 4 people have access to the Workbook on a network drive, see Code below (only the interesting part of the macro)
'Set the Excel UserName to "helpdl"

MyName = Application.UserName
OName = MyName

View 9 Replies View RelatedI wish to send a workbook but need to ensure that this workbook stays on the computer it is destined for. I understand that for ultimate security excel may not be the best option, however im using excel and with that need to look at the best options available to me.
My thoughts were along the lines of sending a simple application for better words in excel, and having the user fill in a few details, this would trigger a events macro recording A the machine id ( which i have forgotten how to do any any help would be great with that ) or B the user ID to a hidden cell, then on receiving this back be able to use that as a key in the application before sending it out.
Then if the user was to pass this to another person it would not work as the code would not match. Does this seem like a best approach or is there a better way that a similar effect could be had?
I 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?
I have created a workbook which both imports data from an access database and exports data to same. Some of the data I need to access is dependent on parameters which the user will change in excel e.g. I need to extract PeriodID (ID for a month end date) based on a date in a speified cell in excel.
MS Query is a very handy way to achieve this as the wizards automate almost everything. However, this workbook will be shared on a common drive on a server (as will the database). Initial testing suggests that the connection and queries I'm making on my machine do not work on other people's machines.
What is the best way to achieve the queries in excel which query data from an Access Database, but will work on all machines accessing the sheet from a shared drive? Is there any way I can avoid writing complex VBA code for this? I have an awful lot of specific queries like the one I mentioned above to perform.
I have two workbooks wkA and wkB. I have a named range in wkB called BName.. can someone tell me whether it is possible to set a range variable (say, raA) from wkA to this named range in wkB. I have tried something to the effect of set raA = wkB.range("BName") but this doesn't work.. I've also tried set raA = [wkB.name].range("BName") to no avail. I'm wondering whether named ranges can actually be read from other workbooks.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI would like to know how to migrate an Access database to a spreadsheet, I do not mean Exporting.
More specifically, the migration is conditional. The spreadsheet only needs a few fields from specific tables in the database. It is basically a data dump, however, the magnitude of the amount of information that I will be handling will be far too time consuming and not within the scope of the budget to do this all by-- Exporting-->Copy-->Paste method.
Also, changes often need to be made "The night before..." so the macro will need to be able to ran possibly a number of times to update the additional data or changes in data.
In my research I have found a few snipets of VBA code from the MSDN website as well as some other websites, however none of it seems to be consistent with one another and ultimately results in it not working.
Is this possible?
For my project , I am using Excel as a frontend and Access as a backend. Now, I want to write the code in workbook_Open event that will copy data in Column L,M,N,O from Access table. The query should select data from Access table where Date=Todays Date. All the Queue Names and corresponding Queue Numbers are stored in Sheet2 of the attached workbook. In Access table , there are three fields named as Type,Type1,Type2 which make up Queue numbers.
In Sheet1 , There are Queue Names and we have to store Total Batches,Totl Envelopes,total Documents and total Pages for the corresponding Queue Names in Sheet1. SO for this we need to check the Queue Numbers of the Queue names in SHeet2 but in table Queue Numbers are equal to Type & Type1 & Type2.

I am Generating Excel file with Macro using my asp.net (c#) application.
I am able to generate Excel file in development environment, but in Production it gives following error:
"Programmatic access to Visual Basic Project is not trusted Line: Microsoft Office Excel"
I did googling a bit and found that I have to open Excel file physically make few security related changes in macro as below.
1. Open the Office application in question. On the Tools menu, click Macro, and then click Security to open the Macro Security dialog box.
2. On the Trusted Sources tab, click to select the Trust access to Visual Basic Project check box to turn on access.
3. Click OK to apply the setting. You may need to restart the application for the code to run properly if you automate from a Component Object Model (COM) add-in or template.
Can i do above changes at runtime (using some code)?
I have written a VBA code.
I thought I could just save it as an ADD-IN and then have my colleagues to add it, but that does not work. The macro will be stored in a seperate workbook and that is not what I want. I want them to be able to open any workbook and want them to be able to run the macro. I.e. everytime they open a workbook the macro should be available and be ready to run.
My company has a lot of file excel. I usually use Google driver, LAN and a lot of the other ways to share file to all member in the company. But so, it is time consuming very much and not protect information in my execl file.

I think the "[share]" means that more than one person can access it at the same time. How do you create a document like this.
How do I share a macro(s) to other users so they can use it? Each user has different location because we are working remotely.

I have an excel document that I wish to share for multiple users to edit, but get the following error message Excel tabs or XML maps.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy coworkers and I use a couple of Excel documents to store statistics. The document is on a network share. We all have Office 2010, my coworkers are on Windows XP, I am on Windows 7.
If I open the document and make changes, then save it to the network location I can open the document later and see the changes but my coworkers do not see any changes I have made. Also If my coworkers make changes to the document the 3 of them see the changes but I do not.
If I go straight to the network share the timestamp on the document only changes for changes I made.For example if I go to servernamefoldernamestats.xls and add data to the file. Then save and close it. I can reopen the file and my changes are there.
Tomorrow Coworker 2 opens the same file from the same location but it has data from 2 days ago, with a timestamp of 2 days ago and my data is missing. They then reimput the data I entered, and add todays data. Then they save it and close.I open the file it has my data from yesterday, but not the new data entered by coworker 2.
I have created some macros that need to be used in several workbooks by more than one users, so I put them in an add-in and gave them instructions on how to get the add-in. I also created a toolbar with buttons calling those macros, attached it to a workbook the users can open, and instructed them to open that workbook once to get the toolbar.
Both the add-in and the toolbar workbook are on a network drive that my users can access, but when they get the add-in, it gets copied to their own add-in folder.
Here's my problem:
When a user tries to click on one of the buttons in the toolbar, the button tries to call the macro using the path that would be valid on my computer to get to my add-in folder. This path includes my user name, so it doesn't go to their own add-in folder: it goes to my add-in folder on that computer if I ever logged in on that particular machine, or it goes nowhere.
When I created the button, I attached the macros by referring to the add-in workbook by name only, without referring to a path, so I don't know why MY path ended up defined on that toolbar.
How can I go around this? I manually relinked all the buttons for that user, and I can do it for the other users (there aren't that many users nor that many buttons), but I'd rather avoid it: I'll have to re-do it if the toolbar is updated and it just seems like more work than should be necessary.
I'm also opened to suggestions on a better way to share those macros. They can't be attached to the workbooks because we use new workbooks every year - they're emailed to us by the people who create them and for a variety of reasons, pasting everything into a workbook of our own is not a good option.
I currently have a macro that can be used by multiple spreadsheets. Is there that I can execute the macro within any specific spreadsheet without saving it in each spreadsheet. I just want to place it in a general spot so that in case there is modifications, I only have to change it in one place.
