I currently have a macro which does data mining and saves the workbook in the end. I intend to disable to the save function of the workbook and force the user to use the macro everytime the workbook needs to be saved. this is what i have so far but it does not seem to work. Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim NoSave
NoSave = MsgBox("Changes have to be submitted before the workbook can be saved, Proceed and submit ?", vbYesNo, "Continue?")
I am trying to disable the save and save as function using a macro, i know that this in its self is quite simple but i am making VBA create a new workbook and i want this (nameless) workbook to have the save feature disabled.
I need my spreadsheet to require that the user save it by clicking a macro button, and not the Save or SaveAs options in the file menu. I have found out how to disable saving entirely:
Code: Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) Cancel = True If SaveAsUI Then SaveAsUI = False End Sub
But this of course prevents my macro button from saving too!
Is there any way to allow VBA code to save the spreadsheet while simultaneously preventing the user from saving through the menu?
I have a file that I have created that the users will use as a master template to create data that I need. Once they have finished, I want the file to define what the filename should be when they click save.
At the same time, I want to disable "Save As..." as some users will just use that and then will use a file name that another macro (that I will use) won't recognise.
I use to send reports to my seniors on daily basis. I want these reports to be with me and they can just open and check the reports, when I send them. If they try to save file through File-Save or File-Save As, they should not get these options at all in the File Menu.
Is there a way to disable 'Save as PDF or XPS' with the macro? I have tried disabling 'Save as' with the below VBA code but it does not disable 'Save as PDF or XPS'.
VB: Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) If SaveAsUI Then MsgBox "Save As is disabled", vbInformation Cancel = True End If End Sub
Also I have a macro which saves the excel report in a PDF format with 'Save as PDF or XPS' utility. I would like to enable 'Save as PDF or XPS' when this macro is started and again disable 'Save as PDF or XPS' when this macro stops.
I need to disable 'save as' in an excel file. I have read some previous topics but I cant understand it. Is there anyone who can explain it to me as detailed as possible?
I know the disabling of 'Save As' has been covered alot. I have successfully disabled both Save and Save As at the file level by the following:
Making file Read Only (which disables Save option)
Inserting the following VBA to make the Save As disabled.
[Code].....
The remaining problem I have is disabling the Save As prompting at the program exit level.
For example, if I have a read only file with Save As disabled and I choose the workbook (file) level close window (X) button, I am prompted to save the file but am not allowed to. This is the behavior I am looking for.
HOWEVER, if I choose to exit the file by selecting the program (Excel) level close (X) button, I am prompted to save a copy of the file and it allows me to do it.
I do not want my ~180 users to have any option to save the file once it is uploaded to a centralized server location. It is a large file and I do not need multiple versions floating around.
Is it also possible to disable the 'Save As' on close at the Program level??
I have a button in a template file, that when clicked, saves the file as a new file with file name based on data in certain cells.
I want to disable the ability to save the file with the Save icon or Ctrl-S, but the button still needs to be able to save it (the button is technically doing a Save As, so no problem there). But, I, as the administrator of the template, need to somehow be able to save updates to the template file. Can this be accomplished by coding Save to work when used with a secret key combination that only I know (I can put it in password-protected VB code)?
Then, as if that's not tricky enough, the trickier part is that once the file is saved as the new file (no longer the template) - re-enable the Save button and Ctrl-S so the user can then save it as many times as they want.
Is there a code or a way to make it impossible to make permanent changes to a file without first saving it as something else? I have a master report that is done monthly.
I do not want anyone to be able to save any changes on the master report. How do I go about disabling save and the save as funtions in excel? I have a save as command button that I only want people to use.
Also is there a way to set up a print command button to print to any computers default printer? I have set up a print command button on my computer and it works fine on mine, but I have sent the file to another person and the button is not doing anything on their computer. I assume because we don't have the same computers.
I want to be able to disable the save query definition option for a worksheet using VBA. Right now I have to right click a cell and then go to Data Range Properties and then uncheck the save query definition box. If there is a way to automate this that would be great.
i tried all vba's here and on google to disable save / save as, but none of them work so i would like to know the other way , how to go with clearing the contents of cell, the moment someone clicks save / save as, with /without range by using beforesave event
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, _ Cancel As Boolean) a = MsgBox("Save Is Disabled", vbOKOnly) If a = vbOK Then Cancel = True End Sub
How do I get out of this file with my changes? Don't laugh.
I 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 workbook iam using as a template.(workbook "template") the user opens which then requests a job number which will then saves the workbook as the enterd job number. this workbook also contains all the material data. eg: price and type which is on sheet "data". I am hopin to get to the sheet "data" from another workbooks command button by bypassing the job enter request by the workbook_open sub. basically i need some code that disables a workbook_open sub
I have a template workbook which I need to prevent anyone making changes and overwriting the original.
I used the following code;
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) If SaveAsUI = False Then Cancel = True MsgBox "You cannot save this workbook. Use Save As" End If End Sub
This works fine apart from I am then unable to save these changes myself so when the workbook is next opened the code has not been saved.
Is there something I can program into my form so that when a record is added and the 'add' button is clicked, it not only adds the record to the work sheet but saves the workbook as well.
I have some formulas in my workbook that use the weeknum function from the analysis toolpak. I have the analysis toolpak installed, yet every time I save the file and reopen it, the formulas with weeknum are gone, with #N/A in its place as the formula. Sometimes the results of the formula from the last time remain (the cells contain the number of the week, but without the underlying formula), sometimes not. All the other formulas are fine. The formulas are simple, like =WEEKNUM(C2)
I have been trying to save as a 97-2003 .xls file. Today I'm trying to save as .xlsx, but I have to rebuild the formulas first, so I don't know how that's going to turn out.
I used this forum to successfully prevent a user from saving a workbook without entering data in a certain cell. However, I now have a merged cell that I must refer to when writing my "before save" code and don't know how to refer to that cell. Below is what I have: One workbook with nine worksheets. The merged cells I want to refer to are H11 and I11 in sheet seven. User RYLO posted the below code that worked for me but I don't know how to alter it to refer to a merged cell.
am using Excel 2010 and having issues trying to save a worksheet to a specified file location with the save date....
I have tried several posts form this forum and elsewhere and can't seem to get the macro to do what I want.....
I want to save a 'worksheet' from an open workbook that I use for updating information to the same file path as the workbook with the date the file saved...
I have an expense report, which was originally done in Excel 2003. It still prompts users to open as read only however if they select no, they are not prompted for the password, and it has allowed them to save, so when the next person opens it, they have the previous person's report instead of the clean workbook. I have tried everything to put a password onto it. I know this is really basic stuff, but maybe I am missing a step? I want the end user to be able to make all the changes they want in read only mode and then do a save as, but if the select No when prompted "Open as Read-only?" they should have to put a password in.
What I am trying to do is that I have an excel file with macros and it is a read-only file. In order for the user to save, I want them to only be able to save as a .xlsx file as it disables all macros. If for whatever reason, the user wants to save the file as another .xlsm file, they should be allowed but before they save, a "are you sure you want to save as .xlsm?" message should pop up.
All the options in the save as box should still be available in case they want to save in that particular format. Just that the .xlsx should be the default.
I'm trying to make a macro check if a file has been saved (ever). If so I want the macro to do a regular save (with already esatablished filename and location) before it proceeds with the rest of the macro. If the file hasnt been saved (if it runs from a new workbook) then I want it to pop up the save.as dialog, so that the user can choose the name and location of the file before the macro continues .
I would like to add some icons on the left side of excel open file pane to faciliate my work. Because i need to load some files under the same folder many times a day. Does anybody know how to do that? I've seen people has more icons on the pane before. The defaut setting has only 'History', 'My Documents', 'Favorites', 'Desktop' and ' My nutwork places' on it.
I have a UserForm in which i have inserted a CommandButton. I also have a Table on a Sheet in Excel that i would like to save as PDF.
When i click the CommandButton on the UserForm i would like the SaveAs screen to come up and have the Table (or Used Range in the Excel Sheet) as the selection to be Saved as .PDF format.
Each of the worksheets in my model use A1 as a control cell for any errors and inconsistencies. My aim is to disable save and close commands in case A1 is not equal to 0 in any of the worksheets.
The code I currently use for that purpose is as follows.
