Q1: How do I run the sub below each time the user opens the worksheet?
Q2: Is there a better way to clear the contents of a textbox?
Private Sub ClearForm_Click()
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
ActiveSheet.Range("C4,C6,C8,F4,F6,F8,F25").ClearContents
ActiveSheet.Range("I4").Value = 0
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Text Box 12").Select
Selection.Characters.Text = ""
MailDate.Caption = Range("H11").Value
ActiveSheet.Range("F4").Select
ActiveSheet.Protect
End Sub
I have worksheet with a macro and currently if I run the macro using the play button and then select the macro it runs fine but what i want it to do is run when i open the workbook automatically.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook where the sheets are all protected and I want to stop users scrolling up or across beyond the limits of the input areas.
I have used the following code (or variations of)...
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Me.ScrollArea = "A1:G32"
End Sub
This works fine except that when I first open the workbook, the first sheet displayed can still be scrolled. As soon as you move to another sheet and then back again, it is then OK.
It appears that the Worksheet_Activate code does not execute when the workbook is first opened.
How do I get round this?
I currently have the following code that copies a range opens notepad pastes the range opens save dialog and types the file name. The problem I have is with overwriting the existing file.
Range("A1:A202").Select
Selection.Copy
Shell "notepad.exe", vbNormalFocus
SendKeys "^V"
SendKeys "^s"
SendKeys "Total_IEDs_Hour_Of_Day_2009.xml"
SendKeys "{TAB}"
SendKeys "a"
SendKeys "{ENTER}"
Everything works fine to this point. Then it opens the do you want to overwrite dialog and I cant get it to hit yes.
I have code in a worksheet that creates a new worksheet when clicking a button:
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have vba code that opens Outlook so I can run code to send emails...
Application.ActivateMicrosoftApp (xlMicrosoftMail)
But I don't want it to be visible, I want it to be minimized.
If I try:
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
olApp.WindowState = xlMinimized
I get an error "Object doesn't support this property or method" referring to:
olApp.WindowState = xlMinimized
I've tried:
Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
followed later with code to send emails,
Set objol = New Outlook.Application
Set objmail = objol.createitem(olmailitem)
With objmail
.To = EMTo
.cc = EMCC
.Subject = EMSubject
.Body = EMBody
.NoAging = True
.Attachments.Add EMFile
.Send
End With
But I get an error "You don't have appropriate permission to perform this operation" referring to:
Set objmail = objol.createitem(olmailitem)
Because of the way our network is designed, the only code that works to send emails is:
Application.ActivateMicrosoftApp (xlMicrosoftMail)
Set objol = New Outlook.Application
Set objmail = objol.createitem(olmailitem)
With objmail
.To = EMTo
.cc = EMCC
.Subject = EMSubject
.Body = EMBody
.NoAging = True
.Attachments.Add EMFile
.Send
End With
but Outlook remains open the whole time the emails are being sent until it's closed by code later on.
Is there a way to minimize outlook AND use the code above?
i want to minimize the excel application and show a userform on startup.

View 4 Replies View Relatedis there a way to make a macro that runs on startup

I have tried searching for this code but just cant find (or remember) how i did it before.
I have a regular workbook (which changes name upon start up). In this workbook is a button that opens a linked database of products.
I want this button
1. to open the database C:/Database/db.xls
2. Minimize it
3. Maximize my regular workbook to its original state (this is where I am having the problem because the workbook name constantly changes)
My file is currently about 70,000 mb,consisting of 10 spreadsheets.
Can i decrease the size by combining the spreadsheets?
Also, will nested formula take longer to load compare to 3 different cells referencing upon each other?

I'm adding a form to a worksheet for the first. I tried to follow an example from the internet and then adapt for own form but have got lost and don't know where.
Attached is the excel file i am working on. On the summary worksheet i have added a button which works fine and opens up the form i have made.
My problem is it doesn't enter the data into the relevant cells on the relevant worksheets. I think the form should be quite self explanatory.
I have a user form that allows me to add items to the last row in my worksheet via the form. However if I want to manually add something or modify something on the sheet while the user form is open it would not allow this. Is there some properties of the user form I can modification to accommodate this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using Excel 2007 and have created a form associated with a worksheet. I would like to click on the *.xlsm, or any other file and have just the the form appear. Three other sales people will be using the form and I would like to make it as simple as possible.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to minimize Excel when a userform is launched, so just the userform is showing? I've tried using "Application.WindowState = xlMinimized" in the UserForm initialization procedure, but it minimizes both the workbook/application and the UserForm. I can click on the Excel window on the taskbar and just the UserForm will display--which is the goal--but I'm hoping there's a way to do it automatically without needing to click the taskbar icon after it's minimized.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an excel file that is about 1,400 kB in size. This file is the backend for a complex model with many inputs, and I now want to build a front end for it using userforms and VBA. However, when i created the first userform, my excel filesize blew out to about 7,000 kB. When I added all of my userforms (about 16 of them because there are lots of inputs, organised into categories), the filesize grew to 77,000 kB.
I have tried everything to reduce file size, including clearing all unused cells, avoiding pivot tables of any sort, and have also exported then re-imported all of my VBA modules and userforms. But the situtation stays the same: no userforms or VBA and my filesize is about 1,400kB, add in all the userforms, and filesize is 77,000 kB. Is there a way to keep file size down with userforms, or is that just the way it is? Is the only way to keep file size down to have a single userform, all questions on that one form, perhaps with visible and invisible controls depending on the 'page' of questions being viewed?
I have a data list which needs to be updated by others on a shared drive. I want to protect the worksheet as there is other info on it (advancefilter from the main list). The problem is that the >>Data>>Form tool will open, but all the boxes necessary to update the list are greyed out (New, Delete etc.)
My other option is to create a macro to advance filter out the other data to another worksheet.
I've taken some time to learn about building an excel data entry form. I'm looking to add a find button.
1) users would type in something in the ID text box, then click on "find". The code will then try to find that record in the worksheet(just sheet1).
when it is found, i want the forms to auto-populate values from that row.
right now, the search works except when you are trying to search a value that that is NOT in the worksheet. I'm getting an error message that i've never seen before.

I have created a form that converts latitude / longitude from Decimal Degrees to Degrees Minutes Seconds decimal seconds. I want my coworkers to be able to use the form, but I don't want them to see the excel window/worksheet when they open it up.... I thought I had received an email once that appeared to be an excel file but when you opened it, it was just a form. I have tried all I can think of to no avail.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've only just starting using Excel for anything other than basic calculations and have got a little stuck with a user form. On my attached spreadsheet I am trying to set up a form for staff incident reporting. There is a Contents worksheet and then each incident has it's own detailed worksheet. The user will click on 'create new incident' on the Contents page.
This opens a user form. From this form I want to populate the contents worksheet. I then also want it to populate the relevant incident worksheet. I can populate the contents page but I need help getting the correct Incident worksheet populated at the same time. Hopefully all will become clear running the file.
I want to have a Checkbox (Form) that is in my Worksheet to disable/gray-out once it is selected. I don't want people to be able to uncheck it again. I want them to be forced to click another Checkbox to enable it again.
Example:
Two Checkboxes:
Check Box 1 = "Apply"
Check Box 2 = "Delete"
Once "Apply" is checked, gray it out. This will force a user to click "Delete" in order for the "Apply" button to be enabled again. I do not want a user to click "Apply" once selected as their way of 'deleting' the information.
how to get a list of the properties for form control shapes (not control toolbox shapes) that are placed on a worksheet (not on a userform). Eg., a button, checkbox, combobox, etc.
If it's possible, I'm interested in working with properties like "enabled", "caption", etc. that aren't listed on the "Format Control Properties" dialog.
I understand you can edit properties of a form control shape via VBA code (See example below), however, I can't seem to find anything within the object browser about them.
EXAMPLE
With ActiveSheet.Shapes("Scroll Bar 2").ControlFormat
.Min = 10
.Max = 150
End With
Using VBA, does anyone know how I can change what is selected in a listbox that is a form control on a worksheet, not on a userform?
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy goal is to create a tracker for my work. This tracker would have the data collection in a seperate excel worksheet using forms (embedded), where all of the information initially goes, then with the click of an "Add" button, it formats the information in the cells in the appropriate worksheet (ie: good data goes to the worksheet called "Good" and vice versa for "Bad"), clearing the data from the forms, and preparing for the next bit of information.
