How To Prevent Auto Macros From Running

Sep 11, 2008

I have made a vba program in excel 2003 that opens a worksheet using Workbooks.Open, and copies all the worksheets out into the program etc. The worksheets that I am opening have macros that automatically execute when the worksheet is opened (opening up some forms ). These macros are running when I open the file using VBA. How can I prevent this from happening. The automatically executed code in the workbook being opened is located in "this workbook" and can be seen below.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim CfileName As String
'Check Config sheet for template state
If Config.Cells(10, 3) = 1 Then
CustomizeDirInfo.Show
End If

If Config.Cells(10, 3) = 2 Then
GetConfData
GetGrpData
StdFileGen.Show
Else
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub

Prevent Private Sub Macro From Running

Nov 14, 2008

I need a line of code so that when I hit commandbutton2, the Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) event macro on the same page DOESN'T run. The button clears certain lines, and when it runs the change event it ends up in an error, and I don't need it to run when hitting the commandbutton.

Prevent Macro From Running If Cell Is Red

Apr 29, 2008

I have a macro that is run by clicking on a macro button. The macro copies the data from Sheet1 and pastes it in another sheet, Sheet2. I added some conditional formatting that colors certain cells red if others are blank on Sheet1. I would like to add some code to my macro that will not allow it to copy and paste from sheet1 to sheet2 if there are any red cells in the range.

Prevent Event Code Running

Oct 19, 2007

I know how to enable/disable events using VBA code, however is there an option within excel to turn it on/off? My problem is this...

At the beginning of my code I disable events and at the end I enable it again (I need to do this to avoid being caught in a loop). However something is going wrong somewhere in my code and the code stops halfway through. I'm trying to test sections of the code, but I often inadvertently stop the code without enabling the events again. Therefore I can't get my VBA to execute again unless I close excel down and restart. This is a pain as I have to find my place in the code again!

Prevent Custom Functions From Running Simultaneously?

Jul 31, 2014

I have this excel file with some functions inside a Pivot Table, which use a year value as filter (the value comes from a report filter field) and data from a different spreadsheet to calculate a percentile value ... I created custom functions to replace the excel functions, passing the values as parameters.. The problem is now that when we refresh the connection (Refresh All button under DATA tab) the cells that contain the values returned by the custom function lose those values (go blank) In order to get the values I need to select the filter value again, while when I was using the normal PERCENTILE function the values would always refresh normally

Now... I think the problem might be related to the fact that the spreadsheet in question calls 5 different custom functions at the same time.... and, those 5 function call another at least two more helper functions... so, maybe this recurrence in calling the functions is causing the thing to break up

Is there a way I can prevent this from happening? Maybe put some flag or something that will cause the functions to be executed one by one, and not all at the same time?

Prevent Event Code Running When Other Workbooks Open

Aug 23, 2008

I am having difficulties with my Worksheet_Activate() macro. It works great within workbook1 when it is only workbook1 open - but when I open another workbook2, the macro stills runs, presumably because Sheet1 of workbook1 is still activated as well as the newly activated sheet in workbook2.

Is there a way to ensure that only 1 worksheet of 1 workbook is activated at a time? Or that sheet1 of workbook1 is deactivated when workbook2 is opened/clicked on? I need my Worksheet_Deactivate macro to run to get rid of my Worksheet_Activate macro (which runs an application that resets the function of keyboards keys). Otherwise moving around workbook2 is a nightmare. When I navigate back to workbook1 while workbook2 is still open, I still want sheet1 of workbook1 to be activated and my macro to run .

Prevent Custom Function Running When Inserting/Adding Rows

Apr 8, 2008

I have a piece of code that hides unneeded rows, it does work but it is very slow.
This is in the worksheet part of the project. My problem is as it runs it "jumps" in to a function I have in a module that counts continuous rows. I would like to know why it is doing this and what I need to do to stop it? I have another piece of code that is structered exactly the same that hides unneeded columns and I do not have any problems with that. I know both pieces of code are dealing with rows and I think this is part of the problem but I can not see any reason why the first bit would call the second bit?

Dim C
With Worksheets("CEN OAS"). Range("D5:D378")
.EntireRow.Hidden = False
End With
For Each C In Worksheets("CEN OAS").Range("D5:D378")
If C.Value = "" Then
C.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
Next C

Function to count used rows....................

Prevent Combobox Change Running Other Control Event Procedures

May 17, 2008

I have a userform with a combobox in it that's rowsource is a column of company names in a worksheet. When a company name is chosen, a combobox change private sub runs and many userform textboxes are populated with information about the company that was chosen from the combobox dropdown. This information is stored on a worksheet. I then want to edit any of the information in these textboxes. Once my edits are made I have a CommandButton that is pressed to save the edit changes. This CommandButton runs a private sub that disables the combobox (thinking this would prevent the combobox private sub from running), deletes the row that the information originated from, and then SHOULD make a new row of values based on the contents of the textboxes following the edits. The problem is that the CommandButton coding that deletes the row causes the combobox change private sub to run because the company that had been selected is now the missing from the rowsource; this causes an error.

Macros Are Blocked From Running

Nov 19, 2009

When I send a workbook with macros to some of my users, they either can not open the workbook due to there being macros or they have to enable them each time the workbook is opened. I know there is a way to correct this, but I don't know how to look this up in help so I am coming to my trusted friends on Excel Forum. I would also like to know what this is called as I slightly remember that there is a name for this.

Running Macros In Background

Feb 29, 2008

I usually run it on a different server while I work on another available server. However, if I am in Excel on a different server working, I cannot copy and paste in Excel (if I try to copy & paste, I end up pasting data from the macro). This makes sense since the macro is copying & pasting but is there any way around this? I purposely didn't past the code since it's huge but it has a lot of "cells.copy, activesheet.paste, etc".

Running Macros From A Separate Workbook

Jun 9, 2008

Our department receives weekly and fortnighly updated workbooks from a number of different departments. Each workbook contains 10s of worksheets. Our department analyzes the data and generates reports from those worksheets.

I have developed a few macros to automate the report generation for making the computing of my colleagues easier.

Now, the problem is that all the macros are developed behind individual sheets and some modules. For this reason, my colleagues have to copy each updated sheet and paste over the older ones individually, each and every time. It is really quite time-consuming task - deleting older data from all the worksheets and then copying fresh data on each of them, one by one.

They want to make their life easier by just replacing the entire workbooks with the new ones and still want the macros functioning, as usual.

My concern is how I can put all the code in a separate workbook and how to reference data from the other workbook.

Macros Are Running In Design Mode?

Apr 8, 2012

I have been writing VBA code in Excel for about 4 years, but I am self-taught, so I only know what I have had to learn. Recently, I learned that I could run a macro from a cell formula. I created several hundred cells (on multiple worksheets) that include calls to various macros. I only want to run these when I know they need to be updated, not every time I change a cell value.

I turn on Design Mode and try to modify my worksheet (adding or removing columns, rearranging stuff) and some macro(s), somewhere(?) execute every time. This can sometimes take 15-20 seconds for everything to update.

Did I hit some magic key sequence, somewhere? How is it that some of my macros, somewhere are running with Design Mode enabled (and turning it OFF, by the way)?

Running Macros In A Shared Workb

Dec 14, 2002

Whenever I share a workbook, I experience problems running macros that are problem-free otherwise. I’ve read the help menu about restrictions of using shared workbooks, but I did not run across anything that might explain this behavior. I’ve experimented with a few spreadsheets and I run across this problem in all cases. Can anyone help with an explanation or past experience? I’m assuming that by sharing a workbook, the workbook is automatically protected for both windows and structure. If this is what is causing the problem, is there code I can use to still allow my macros to run trouble free in a shared workbook?

Displaying Userform & Running Macros

May 11, 2006

I am copying web data into Excel and need a creative way to run a couple formatting macros on the data. I’m looking for the best way to initiate the macros. I cannot use command buttons because they’ll get deleting as a result of the line “DrawingObjects.Delete”.

I’d like to use a Useform with a couple buttons but am not sure how to have it automatically display when needed and hidden when not needed. I also prefer not using toolbars button unless they will only be displayed in that workbook and not any others.

Macros Cannot Be Found, Running On Another Computer

Sep 21, 2007

I have sent an Excel application to a colleague's computer. When she tries to access/run any of the macros (assigned to buttons), Excel displays and error inidcating that they are not found.

Looking under Tools/Macros they are there.

On my computer the a macro name is for example "Submit", preceded by the full path and file name. On the colleagues computer they show up as "Module5.Submit" (with the current path and filename), where the module number is the actual module number displayed in the VB Project.

Is there a VB setting that is responsible for including the module number and how would I turn this off?

Macros Running Twice: SaveAs Macro Stops

Jan 28, 2009

I have been working on some Macros. I am compiling a macro that runs other macros. I have two noticeable problems.

1 - My SaveAs macro runs fine by itself. But when called or ran by another macro, (which calls more than one macro) the SaveAs macro it stops.

2- Many of my macros, when ran by another macro (which runs more than one macro) cycles through twice.

My specific question is about no. 2 and the following are the individual macros and the macro that runs them.

Prevents Macros From Running When Spreadsheet Is Opened?

Mar 14, 2009

I have 3 macros, 2 of them puts formulas in 2 separate cells and the other to turn off file save, file save as and the Save button. Everything was working fine until I password protected the project, now the macros quit loading. I can still run them manually and they work fine, they just don't run when the spreadsheet is loaded. (What I wanted to do was prevent users from seeing the formulas by saving the spreadsheet after the formula was put in the cell and also by looking at the macro). I've unpassword protected the project and took out the macro to prevent the Saves. What do I need to look at to get the macros to run when the spreadsheet is loaded?

Showing Sheets And Forms, Not Running Macros, From Add In

Sep 28, 2009

I now have the spreadsheet I want to distribute saved as an add in stored in a network repository. RoyUK has provided me with some links with code I lifted to add custom menu items.

The last problem I have is that I'm not trying to call a macro, but am instead trying to load the sheets (there are 4 sheets) and forms (there are 7 forms).

With what I have now, I can launch a macro with no problem, but cannot get the sheets / forms displayed to the user. I've tried launching a form by loading / showing it, but I get error message (runtime error 9).
