i need a macro that will only open a file to certain users using the "get username" environ thing,
and only allow a list of users to access this file,
this will be a log of things that only managers whouls have access to, i have all the managers usernames (windows log ons) and what i need is that if the log on on the current machine, (the one currently opening the file) does not match one on th elist then the file should not open.
i could pasword protect the file but since my managers are kinda lazy and i wnat to show off a little (maybe hopefully that will push my promotion forward a couple of days at least)
I am using VBA to create a word document (.docx). This word document contains plain text content controls as well as picture content controls. I then use VBA to automatically select a picture based on the code below
Code: Set oCC = Word.ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTitle("TabPic").Item(1) On Error GoTo TabErrorHandler oCC.Range.InlineShapes.AddPicture Filename:="X:XFERANDREW-TDCD " & LblVL &
[Code].....
After the document has been closed down I try to open it again and I am told "The file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents."
When I click details it says "Unspecified error" and "Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line: 2, Column: 0"
If I click ok it says "Word found unreadable content in "". Do you want to recover the contents of this document? If you turst the source of this document, click Yes.
Clicking Yes opens the document with all the contents and it is now renamed to Document 1. If I click no it does not open.
I use this to read cell content, add some text/characters (ie. [ and ]) and change the properties of the complete cell
Sub COMMENT() Worksheets("DVD Lijssie").Activate If ActiveCell.Value 0 Then ' Change all in to ... ... ... ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = ActiveCell.Value & " " & "]" & " " & "[" With ActiveCell.Font .Name = "Arial Narrow" .Size = 8 .ColorIndex = 16 End With End If End Sub HOW can I change this vba-code so it leave's the content of the cell like it is and add some content with the use of let's say TexBox1 and ONLY use different font properties for the newely added content?
Formula/macro/etc that would enable me to have content of a cell changed based on the content of another cell in the same row.
Example: cell in column D says "PSA" - so I would need the cell in column H for that same row to read "Radio"
I would need an entire sheet scanned to review for these occurrences and make the appropriate changes. I also would need the formula to be inclusive enough to scan for variations in column D cell content (PSA 1, PSA 2, etc).
I have a sheet that is password protected. I have this code attached to a command button. It will unlock the worksheet, autofilter it, print it, unfilter it, and password protect the sheet again. However it is protecting it without a password. I need to have it protected with the password so that someone will not be able to just go to tools to unprotect the sheet.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() ActiveSheet.Unprotect "rainforest" Columns("O:O").Select Selection.AutoFilter Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=">0", Operator:=xlAnd ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1 Selection.AutoFilter ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _ , AllowSorting:=True, AllowFiltering:=True End Sub
For a table like the one below produced for the sake of example (actual is much much bigger) I want to make it list rows that are true for a certain column for a certain variable in the matrix. So for say water terrain, which types of activity can I do i.e. swimming. Or for Offroad the activites which I can't do i.e. Run and Swim.

I have Timesheet workbooks with 3 levels of access (user, viewer & me as developer).
I want use the GetuserName API function (with If/Then) to auto open the wkbk if I am loged in under my network login so psuecode looks bit like this
If network user is me then open wkbk else ask for username & password
I have googled & searched the forum & the closest I have is this
Public Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" _ Alias "GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize As Long) As Long
Function ReturnUserName() As String ' returns the NT Domain User Name Dim rString As String * 255, sLen As Long, tString As String tString = "" On Error Resume Next...............
I've got a sheet with a "Last Edited By:" field and I want this to be populated with the current users name i.e. I suppose I mean the user name that is assigned to Excel, as opposed to the XP log in... although I guess either would do. I'm OK on the change event thing, but just dont know the function to find the the current users name.
I'm trying to use the code listed below on the works shared drive. When I open up the worksheet and save it, my log on identity is left as required in Cell B2 etc.. When someone else uses the sheet it just leaves the company name in this cell and not their log on identity? The date & time function always works ok. Can anyone advise me if what I'm after is achievable.
The code I've used below was used from a previous string on a similar question.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Value = Now() Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(0, 1).Value = Application.UserName End Sub[/b]
I have copied a macro off another board that get the username of the computer where the excel file is opened. It works fine on my pc but when I have sent the workbook to a colleague my username came up when he opened it. Also what I am trying to do is to modify the macro that does a vlookup on a range in worksheet 1 from where it picks name and surname (and transpose it onto worksheet 2 on cell A2), email (on B2), tel number (on C2) etc etc.
I would like to protect the intellectual property of an application and have read differing opinions of the merits of protecting VBA code. What are the opinions of the experts on this forum? Are the password breaker programs so advanced that protecting code is a waste of time and only a hinderance to debugging and troubleshooting?
I am using MS Excel 2003 (11.5612) on XP.
I apologize if this topic has already been covered on this forum. I searched but did not find exactly what I was looking for. I am happy to review an old post if one exists.
I have below piece of code which I'm not sure how to finish up. What I'm trying to do is have 'Username' and 'password' entered before logging into the workbook. It does not have to be 'UserForm" if it is possible, but it would be useful if we use Ucase...
I'm just not sure how this code works with
"Sub sUserLogon(strStandardID As String, strPassword As String)"
stated in this way..
VB: Sub sUserLogon(strStandardID As String, strPassword As String) Dim strUserName As String Dim StrMessage As String Application.DisplayAlertsAlerts = False StrMessage = "User Logged In"
I would like to unlock the work sheet based on the username. However this code does not seems to be working.
The object is that only these users have access to the locked cells on a sheet and those users not on the list would only have access to the unlocked cells.
This time stamp macro is great but I would also like to record the person who said 'Y' in the same cell as the date stamp '12:00p.m. MWatson'. The persons name should come from the Username.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub If Not Intersect(Target, Range([P13], Cells(Rows.Count, "p"))) Is Nothing Then 'change your range on this line" With ActiveSheet If Target.Value = "Y" Then Target.Offset(0, 1).Value = Now
I am using the below code to access a website with IE.
My next step (of many) is to Login to this website.
The login screen requires that I enter: User Name: Password:
How can I tell IE to enter my user name and Password?

I am trying to get the username from the system to display in A1 in a file in Excel. I got this code form internet and put it in the sheet by clicking right mouse on the sheet1 tab and view code and then pasted it there.
Function UserNameWindows() As String UserNameWindows = Environ("USRNAME") End Function
And then as per the instructions on the same page I inserted this formula in A1 : =UserNameWindows()
The person stated that by doing this, I should be able to get user name displayed in A1. BUt all it gives me is #NAME?.

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" '(from Sub Change_UserName) MyName = Application.UserName OName = MyName NewName = "HelpDL" UserName = NewName 'Set the name of the Active File To "Slave" Set wbSlave = ActiveWorkbook 'Open the Master from the Network (Wiesbaden server sv030100) Workbooks.Open "\sv030100GruppenDL60116_MEWA Car Policy_Neukonzeption.xls" 'Set the name of the Active File to "Master" Set wbMaster = ActiveWorkbook...........................

I have an Excel macro that pulls an external .txt file from a particular directory on a users computer. The directory is different for each user because of the way the computers are configured, see example below.
Bob's computer: c:obwork
Jill's computer: c:jillwork
There is a system variable called %username% on each computer that can be used for navigation in an OS enviroment. So if you were at the command prompt on user's computer and typed cd\%username%work you would be put in the desired directory. Is there a way to leverage this system level variable, %username%, in an Excel macro?
Usually when you try to open a file that someone else is using, it lets you know the file is in use, and lets you know who is using it. However, the situation I have is that when a user tries to open the file that is in use, it tells them that the file is in use, but gives them the wrong user who is using it!
For example, User1 opens the file and closes it again. User2 comes along and opens the file and stays in the file. User3 comes along and tries to open the file, but instead of saying User2 is using the file. It says User1 is using!
The file we have was originally built in Excel 97, but we using it through compatibility mode in Office 2007. The file is needed by various users, but putting it on shared access is not an option.
I have a list of tweets, and I would like to extract just the username found within the tweet. I'm not sure if a formula is the best way to do this, or possibly a macro.
The example I've attached is only of 18 tweets, but the spreadsheet I'm looking to use this on is 100,000+ tweets, so I need something easily scalable. One thing to note is that a tweet can have more than oneuser mentioned in it, such as the first tweet in the example.
Excel can automatically recognise individuals by their windows login name so you can fully automate the protect/unprotect of the correct sheets without even individuals having to use passwords.
The first step though would be to gather the id's of all users.
1. Create an additional sheet and call it UserLog 2. Put the following code into all the worksheet code modules
[Code] ......
Once you know the windows login names and which sheet they are responsible for you can add the following code to each worksheet.
[Code] .....
I have tried as per below and it is not working.
I have about 50 user that uses one document and will record their comments to instructions, but only 20 users will be able to add the instructions. The document needs to autolock when it is saved and can only be unlock with the username of the 20 users.
I'm trying to only show specific sheets per user using the environ variable and this code seems to work for the single user / sheet but the master user does not function correctly i.e. the code does not show all sheets, this is the code I am using:
[Code] ......
Why the above code does not respect the Master User "Jane" should be able to see all sheets?
In username the range a2:b5 contains the following: a2= John b2=Write a3=Scott b3=Readonly where John or Scott are usernames in Environ("Username")
Is it possible to write a macro that does the following: 1. When the file is opened it looks at the network username and checks again the Username range in sheet3, if it is Write then the user can change cells in Data Entry and save the workbook, if Readonly then they can only view and not save, and if not there at all, then the worksheet closes.
2. When the file is opened write a log in a hidden sheet callled "Log" of the time opened and the username
3. Is it possible to do the same but making a copy of all cells changed ??
