Opening A Workbook With A Command Button
Apr 21, 2009
I have been looking at summing closed workbooks here and decided that due to the problems people are facing I would be better off opening the workbooks
I have a command button that makes the cells switch between 2 sets of data.
The second set of data is held in a second workbook and needs to be recalculated every time. Works fine if the workbook is open but only returns the saved values if closed.
If have added some VBA to the Command Button that opens the 2nd spreadsheet, however, is there a way to get it to open in the background rather than on top of the sheet I am working on.
My humble approach has been to write a macro and then edit it to go back to the original sheet I have been working like so:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'
' OpenABC Macro
' Macro recorded 21/04/2009 by martin.lucas
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+M
'
ChDir "L:CustomersABCABC Stats"
Workbooks.Open Filename:="L:CustomersABCABC StatsMasterABC.xls", _
UpdateLinks:=0
Windows("TopLine Management.xls").Activate
End Sub
Can this be done without the user knowing it has happened.
and can a check be done so that excel does not try to open it again if it is already open.

I have a workbook with two worksheets, "Main" and "Control".
Both of them are with hidden tabs (unchecked "show sheet tabs").
On worksheet "Main" I have command button which opens worksheet "Control".
The assigned makro is: Sheets("Control").Select
The problem is: when I open "Control" and close after that the workbook, the next time when I open the workbook "Control" pops-up instead of "Main" even though I do not save it.
1. I need macro on "Main" which will allow me to open "Control".
2. Regardless I "Save" or "Don't Save" "Control" when selected and workbook is closed, to open the workbook always displaying worksheet "Main".
I use Excel 2007 (at home) & 2010 (at office).

I've been using the following code to bring in individual cell values from one closed workbook to an active one. I would like to modify this is possible to bring in multiple cells at once and also pull them into a different worksheet in the active workbook. Basically, my command button is on Sheet1 but I'd like the data to pull into a cell on Sheet2.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
With Range("Q9")
.Formula = "='C:Users[Workbook Name.xlsm]Worksheet Name'! N27"
.Value = .Value
End With

I would like to use a command button to copy a row of data from one workbook to a column in another workbook. The row of data will have different values on a daily basis but will always be B2 through BE2. I would like the copied row of data pasted in the next available column to the left in the other work book.

When opening a workbook, I'd like to set a Toggle Button's value to TRUE. I already have code Workbook_Open() procedure which resides in the ThisWorkbook module. This Workbook_Open() procedure already does lots of other things. I would like to add code in Workbook_Open() that would set the Toggle Button's initial value (TRUE).
The code for the Toggle Button resides in one of the Sheet modules (not the ThisWorkbook module). I attempted to set this toggle button value using the following code (see row 10), but it does not pass the compiler due to not being a defined variable.

The data in 4 specific cells in C:UsersOfficeDropboxWB1 needs to (upon clicking command button) be copied to the next available blank cell in 4 specefic rows in C:usersOfficeDropboxWB2.
WB1 Specific Cells List
Sheet1!A4
Sheet1!Q7
Sheet1!N22
Sheet2!E3
Data from these cells are to be copied to the rows listed below respectively.
WB2 Destination Rows (Next available blank row)
Sheet1! Row B
Sheet1! Row D
Sheet1! Row F
Sheet1! Row J
I gather from reading other posts that sending this data within the same WB is fairly easy, is it easy to do between WB's though as i must have seperate WB's?

I am using Excel 2010. I am using a shared workbook that was originally created in Excel 2003. This workbook has a command button that is supposed to be clicked to open a userform. However, I cannot even click on the button when opening the shared form in Excel 2010. When the form is not shared, the button works fine.
I have no problems with the button when opening the shared form in 2003 or 2007.
Is there anything I can do to make the command button work while the form is shared and while using Excel 2010?

I'm having a problem creating a Reset All command button that will remove user entered unlocked cell values from an entire workbook save for one specific worksheet. So for example, I have five tabs labeled as "DTF", "Week 1", "Week 2", "Week 3" and "Week 4". I want one single command button (placed in the "DTF" worksheet) to remove all of the unlocked cell values from "Week 1" to "Week 4".

Is it possible that when you press a command button, that the first thing it does is to execute the code assigned to another command button (IE in another sub).

How can I return name of a command button on click? I want to create some sort buttons on a sheet I will use regularly to speed things up. I thought if I could call each sort button by the column letter the button sits in I can use this in a single sub for all buttons
e.g the button sitting in column A is called "A". when i click the button, it returns it's name to a variable which I can then use to sort column A. I know I could create a seperate routine for each button but I was just trying to think of something neater.

I have a userform with a button on it named But1. Is it possible to store But1 into a variable then activate the But1_Click action using a variable?
Dim strButname As String
strButname ="But1"
Now, how would you activate the But1_Click method using strButname variable. With listboxes you can use the Control(strListboxName) methodology?
This doesn't work, but gives you an idea of what I am trying to do.
Controls(strButname)_click

I currently am using a form button to create new rows.
I need two different kind of buttons. I have a button that does this-
VB:
Sub InsertRow()
'this inserts a row where the button is clicked.
Dim r As Range
[Code]....
However, when I try and create these codes using a Command button (I need it for the color), I get the error
"unable to get the buttons property of the Worksheet class"
P.S one other thing, say the button is in row 3, and Cells A1 and A2 are merged, when you click the button in row 3, it should extend the merge to A3.

This is probably really straight forward but cant see why it happens, the following macro works fine when called by a button created by the form toolbar but doesnt when called by a command button, get the runtime error 1004, "select method of range class failed"
ActiveSheet.Select
Range("B4:B37").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("G4:G37").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("B1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("D1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("F1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("J1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("M2:M3").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("B4").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Save
Application.Quit

I have read several articles saying using a command button as a toggle button can't be done but some articles have said it is possible using the state properties.
.State = msobuttondown
.State = msobuttonup
Is there any way to combine this with the onaction property so that when you press the button, it stays down and activates a macro then when you press it again it pops back up and activates another macro.

I have a need to open a file from my companies intranet. My current method was to open said file via the method that the recorder gave me. However, I would like ot be able to open a said file without having to start open another workbook.
This is the path:
[url]
So the command is this:
Workbooks.Open [url]
Links are not actual links
So what I need to know. Is how can I open this file without opening a workbook. I haven't been able to use the VB "Open Statement" to open a file and I don't believe that I've been successfull using the Filesystem object either.

I would like to make a button that, when clicked, opens the following directory in a seperate window: "C:Documents and SettingssharkfootDesktopTNT" Here is what I tried...
Sub OpenLocker()
ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:="C:Documents and SettingssharkfootDesktopTNT"
End Sub
Because I am still a novice and because i wrote this myself, it doesn't work.

I have searched this topic but I came up with nothing regarding my exact situation.
I have 5 buttons on sheet 1. I want them to all direct me to another sheet in the same workbook. However, some buttons will contain more than one sheet.
Example: Button 1 will direct me to 4 different sheets. Is this possible?
Also, When I open the workbook, I see many sheets that I am working from but I do not want them to show up when I open the workbook. The only way to see these sheets is to click on the command buttons at the top of sheet 1.

I am using the below code (i have combined different bits of code which i found on these forums) to open a new workbook, copy all the data in it and paste it into Sheet2 in the active workbook . Also, i want the data to be pasted on the next empty row as there is already data in Sheet2. The data that is being copied and pasted has the same format and it is going to be repeated many times.
The problem i am having is that it is not offsetting the data to the next empty row - i think it is a simple change but i can't seem to get there :s
Also, the code is currently selecting all of the data from the workbook that i open - is there a way i can select all of the data, excluding the first row (the first row contains the headings which i already have in Sheet2 in the active workbook).
[Code].....

Check a particular Option Button within a group box made with the Forms Toolbar.

I know that this may seem a little strange to request as you can just select the row and delete it, however the sheet is designed as "idiot proof", so I would like to implement this.
Basically, I have a box which states "If you need to delete a row due to incorrect entry, please type the row number here (next cell), and click delete".
I want to know if by using VBA, you can reference the number entered in the cell, and use this to determin the row in which we are required to delete.

I have a 2 worksheets. One "Projects in Process"and the other "Project Completed". when the users fill in the information in cells A4-F4 (line 4 is the starting line and it could go down as far as line 23 or a23 - f23) In Projects in Process they press a "completed Project" command button and the data in a4-f4 copies over to worksheet "Projects completed". In the next available row (starting at row 4).

I am running Excel 2003 and in my workbook I created a macro and assigned it to a toolbar comman button, "Copy Filtered Data". This macro copies the visible data into a new workbook.
This works well but others in my company will also be accessing this workbook from a sharepoint and I discovered that when they open it this command button is not on their toolbar.
Would anyone know what I need to do to have this button load on the toolbar when the workbook opens?
Also, I would like this button to either unload or greyout when the workbook that this button is intended for is closed.

I want to create a command button that will clear whatever is written in a text box. I guess for this to work it needs to select all, then clear. The command button and the text box have been created using the control toolbox.
