my workbook is finally working the way it should but every time i open it i get a security warning window with the options disable macros, enable macros and more info. how do i get this to not show up every time it's opened. this workbook will be used by someone other than me and i don't want them to need to do anything but open it and use it.
View 8 RepliesI was playing around with Macros on an excel file. I created a few and ran them. In the end, I didn't like the way they ran, so I deleted them all. However since I ran them in the excel file, every time I open the file it gives me a warning saying
"Macros have been disabled."
Is there any way to remove the possible Macros ties/links from my file? I know I can disable the warning, but if I just want to remove the Macros ties to my file.
I would like the security warning not to pop up when the workbook is opened. I have been able to turn it off for myself but I had someone else test it and each time it's opened the security warning pops up with the disable, enable messages. Is there a way to turn this off permanently so not matter who opens it it won't pop up?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm using Excel 2003 and recently when I open a file, it prompts out a Security Warning message about Marcros which at the end contains 3 choices: Disable Macros, Enable Macros, and More Info. I then click Enable Macros to open the file. Once open, I go to Tools > Marco > Run Marco (Alt+F8). A Macro box prompt out but the Macro list is empty. I try different choice inside the pull down menu "Macros in" but the Macro list is still empty.
Where can I find out the macro which triggers the warning message of Security Warning when opening the file? And how can I delete the macro if found useless.
I have recently grabbed the very helpful "Macro to delete VBA code" from this site, and it's working but with one small problem.
My worksheet runs a lot of code, then deletes all macro code and saves itself.
The problem is the next time i open I still get the macro security warning!
I've checked thoroughly and there is definatley no vba left anywhere.
If I open the document, enable macros, and save it, then open it again, I no longer get the warning.
I m not able to use the standard Excel Paste Special function when I copied a range of cells in another Excel workbook opened in a separate instance of Excel. Instead, Paste Special thinks that I have copied some non-Excel objects and gave me the Paste As options. This is not the case if I open both workbook within the same instance of Excel. Could you share with us if there is a trick to trigger the normal Paste Special options in such situations (without having to invoke Macro procedures)?

Examp.: I have a workbook (Master.xls), and when this file be opened, and then others workbook (Transactions.xls, Order.xls, etc.) is opened too.
I have a function that is called in Access vba code that refreshes all sheets in a given workbook. We use it all the time for workbooks containing any number of tabs to be refreshed. The code has a key line: ActiveWroksheet.Refreshall. I need to now start to secure the pivot so the user can not refresh it. Another post pointed me towards: .PivotCache.EnableRefresh = False.
This apparently can only be used for a particular sheet; ie it can not be applied to ALL sheets in the workbook. The trouble is the function is generically used to refresh any workbook, and the number of sheets may vary.
Any thoughts on how I can disable the ability to refresh a pivot for ALL sheets. I'd prefer not to turn off the pivot wizard since the user should be allowed to manipulate it...just not refresh it.
I have one excel workbook (called “workbookA”) stored on network device (hard drive with its own ip address). The idea is not to allow users to save that excel workbook locally on individual pcs; otherwise, others wont be able to see updates done by a particular user that saved the workbook on his or her computer (regardless of intention).
The idea I have is to have a second workbook (called “workbookB”) on the same network drive; and cell $A$1 of this workbookB is being referenced by workbookA.
$A$1 cell of workbookB has value of ‘20’. And, cell A8 of workbookA refers to that cell
My code below checks the value of A8 cell of workbookA against the value of $A$1 cell of workbookB has value of ‘20’. If the values do not match, cell A9 of workbookA displays “Unauthorized Copy”. (One can even elect to have the VBA code to overwrite all cells - thus destroying the workbook.)
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("$A$8") "'[NO_NO.xls]SHEET00'!$A$1" Then
' places "Unauthorized Copy" to Cell $A$9
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("FID").Unprotect Password:="password"
Range("'[FID.xls]FID'!$A$9").Value = "UNAUTHORIZED COPY"
Sheets("FID").Protect Password:="password"
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End If
End Sub
I feel embarrassed, but this is the best idea I’ve got. Plus I am getting "Run-time error '1004'; Method 'Range' of object '_Worksheet' failed" & whenever the workbook is being opened, excel asks is the links (referenced) are to be updated or not (whole another story). Are there any simpler & more interesting ideas to ensure that the user gets alerted whenever the workbookA is removed from (saved in a location other then) the network device?
I have a workbook which i really want to protect. I don't want any formulas to be seen and tampered with.
Simply hiding/locking cells and protecting the sheet is not secure enough. within minutes of googling crack password, i was able to find a macro that unlocks the sheet.
Is there something out there that can really secure your workbook. I found something called XLS Padlock [URL].... seems great.
I have a workbook that is a formatted report that I need to insert data from a name variable "CSV" file. I have created a macro in this workbook that calls an "Open" dialog for CSV files that I can use to browse to and open the source file. The macro then is supposed to "select all" copy and close the workbook then make the original workbook active and paste the data starting at row 2. The macro "seems" to be working perfectly except when I do the open the macro then makes the original workbook active, selects all copies then wants to close the original workbook. How can I tell the macro that the csv file that I just opened should be the active workbook, baring in mind that the name won't be known before the time it's opened so I can't hardcode the "active. workbook (NAME) "route.
I am relying on macros for a lot of functionality and security.
Is there a way to stop a spreadsheet from being opened/accessed if a user disables macros at the security prompt?
I have several workbooks that use macros from my personal macro library (MyExcelAddIns.xlam).
Some of these, especially new ones, get an error message every time I save them: "Privacy warning: This document contains macros, ActiveX controls, ... These may contain information that cannot be removed by the Document Inspector."
Then after I save it once or twice, the message goes away. Why am I getting this message? Why only sometimes? What can I do to get rid of it entirely?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with about 30 tabs in it. It is currently protected by a password. The workbook itself has a couple of 1000 formulas across the tabs.
What I would like to do is to lock certain cells on each worksheet depending upon if the workbook is opened as "read only" or "in edit mode" (when someone uses the password).
So when someone uses the correct password, I would still like certain cells to be locked, or after the initial password is entered for editing, another popup box with "would you like to edit cell formulas? Y/N (only on selective cells), if no, then no editing on those cells allowed, if yes, then prompted to input another password to do this.
How do I automatically run VBA code when a workbook is opened?
View 7 Replies View RelatedJust wanted to ask all the VBA gurus if they would know how to put the number of times (i.e. in Sheet 1, Range A1) a Workbook is opened.

Is there a way that when the workbook is opened, it automatically jumps to the sheet that has today's date on it and highlights that cell.
I have 12 sheets, one for each month and labeled as such. The dates for each month in cells D5:AH5 on each sheet.
How can I ensure that a cell (A1) is defaulted to the current date each time the file (in which the cell resides) is opened.
A1 is a field of a form in which the user can enter a date. I would like it to default to the current date each time the file is opened.

I have been told on this forum that it is possible for a workbook to check its own name once opened?
I have two different names that this file can be called 1st is the one that is in use all the time and the 2nd is a archive version where the name changes each month.
The file name I wish to keep the same for the no archived version is Toolbox and a predetermined number I have a workings sheet called workings and in a cell i have a formula =TEXT("Toolbox Application " & Cover!E10,) this will give me the file name that i need to check for example it could be Toolbox Application 00089 or Toolbox Application 00967.
I also have a cmd that archives the workbook and saves it as Toolbox and the Month it was for Toolbox for Jan for example
I also need this to open if it is an archive
if neither of the names match i need the workbook to close and a msgbox to tell user to rename the workbook correctly.
