Userform Not Rendering When Shown Modeless
Mar 26, 2014
I have a sub that is called when the user clicks a button on the form.
The sub takes a few seconds to run, so I have created a userform which contains a single label, which simply says "working ... please wait" in large letters.
A code example is as follows:
[Code] ....
Seems simple enough, but what actually happens is that the PleaseWait userform is displayed, but contains nothing (i.e. blank white - the contents is not being rendered). I'm guessing that I need to call something on the userform to force it to render its contents after the modeless call to show it. How can I do that?

Background: I currently have an some VBA code that will kick off a series of calculations on a remote server (7 calcs). I am showing a modeless form, to allow the user to continue to work in Excel while the external calculation is taking place. The code checks every few seconds (using .OnTime) to check the status of the calcs, and as one finishes, it starts the next calc, and updates the form (ie - "Running Calc #3 of 7", etc).
'Do calc
'Finish calc
frmProgress.labMessage.Caption = "Running Calculation: 'Revenue'"
'Do another calc
'Finish another calc
frmProgress.labMessage.Caption = "Running Calculation: 'Labor'"
'etc...
Problem: when I change the label on the form, it gives the form focus. So, if the user is in the middle of doing something, they are suddenly stopped, and have to click back on the spreadsheet to continue.
Questions: Is there a way to update content (label) on a form, without that form getting focus? If not, is there another way to provide updated feedback without disrupting what the user is doing? My fallback is to simply not update the form with progress reports, but since the calcs can take 5min or so, it would be good if they knew things were progressing.

I am using a technique to display a modeless userform to display to the user that the cell data validation has failed (or not) after checking cell data entry (with checks coded as required).
I am using this method for a number of reasons -
- enables more flexibility and more characters over that of in cell data validation error messages
- to reduce repeat of validation data (to reduce file size) as worksheet has large qty of rows with large qty of columns with variation of validation requirements for each column.
But in the event that data is invalid (fails validation), once the modeless userform is displayed, i want the focus to be on the current cell, not the userform, otherwise the user will always have to click the worksheet to to get focus to enable entry to cell of corrected data.

On opening of my WorkBook I refresh my PivotTable and that takes a while so while its refreshing. So I want to launch a UserForm that basically have a loop showing progress bar similar than the Windows loading bar (i.e. a set of green vertical green bars moving in a black rectangle).
Here is the code in THisWorkbook:

I call a userform (modeless), and then i'm trying to set the focus back on the range that was selected when i showed the userform. you would think i could just define the range and then use rnge.select like this....
set prevrnge = selection
UF.show (vbmodeless)
prevrnge.select
but it doesn't take the focus off the userform....

A userform to move the curser to a column then activate the Excel App and keep the userform visiable.
The problem is when excution the code step by step (F8) works fine, but when excution the code by F5 the cursor moves to the Range("A65536").End(xlUp) and doesnot then move to the required column.
also this line
AppActivate ("Microsoft excel")
does not work , it gives me Invalid proceduers or call argument.
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()
Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Activate
If ComboBox1.ListIndex = 0 Then Cells(ActiveCell.Row, "I").Activate
If ComboBox1.ListIndex = 1 Then Cells(ActiveCell.Row, "J").Activate
If ComboBox1.ListIndex = 2 Then Cells(ActiveCell.Row, "K").Activate
AppActivate ("Microsoft excel")
End Sub

I have an Access program that acts as a dashboard to open Excel reports. One of the Excel workbooks opens a form in the Auto_Open routine. My problem is that control is never passed back to access after the form opens. It appears that the code stops executing until the userform is closed. How can I open the excel workbook, show the Excel userform, and continue processing my Access code?
Set XL = Excel.Application
With XL
.Workbooks.Open FileName:=FileName, ReadOnly:=True
. ActiveWorkbook.RunAutoMacros xlAutoOpen
End With
XL.Visible = True
' Excel Code
Sub Auto_Open()
Unload UserForm1
UserForm1.Show
' The code get "stuck" right here
End Sub

I am wondering if one can force a Modal UserForm to become Modeless after loading the UserForm.
Load the Userform as Modal => Click on a CommandButton on the Userform => The Userform now becomes Modeless.

I want to do is use a userform to automatically create a graph from the data that is shown in the worksheet. The data in the work sheet will grow and shrink all the time. Am i right in thinking I am meant to create a dynamic range? I know how to do it but am not too sure what I am meant to be naming. And secondly I am not too sure how I set up the button to produce the graph.

A project I am currently working on requires me to make a spreadsheet that handles a large amount of data with constantly changing entries. The data will be outlined into groups and subgroups. Subgroups will be added and removed, but the removed subgroups MUST remain on the sheet. The group will contain a sum of the subgroups.
So, my question is how can I keep the subgroups in the sheet but remove them from the sum in an efficient manner? I planned on doing this in macro form by having the user select the row that contains the subgroup, and then activates a macro that strikes through the data, dates the change, and (hopefully) "hides" the data from the SUM function in the group.

I have an application where by the user only sees userforms which then writes the data to the back end worksheets. So the Menu or front useform I have set at vbModeless, which also means that the user can now open up or use an already opened spreadsheet. I believe I am correct in saying you can't do this if the userform is modal. Anyway this is what the user wants, i.e to be able work on multiple spreadsheets, whilst my app is open. The problem is when they click on one of the other open spreadsheets and then click one of the buttons on my application, you get an error.
I believe is because I use code such as
frmMetrics.Show
Where I haven't specified the actual workbook, so excel doesn't know where to go to find the userform. So how do I specify the workbook, without constantly having to change the line, when version numbers changes ?
eg
Application.workbooks("Book1")
For the next revision the file may be called Book1.1
Application.workbooks("Book1.1")

In Excel 2003, I built a small form with only a text box in the form that says "Thinking...Please wait! When I call it from code using:
Sub
' my code has some input boxes before this
userform1.show vbModeless
' long running code after this
End Sub
the form displays, and my code continues, but the text box on the form is not displayed.

Columns O,P and Q should show a "Y" if Column N has the percentage (the percentages shown at the top of those three columns) over the value in column D. I hope this makes sense!

How do I programmatically freeze ( lock?) an autoshape so that it stays put even when the user scrolls up/or down?
FYI: I created an autoshape and assigned it a macro, thus it becomes a software button, I want the button to stay put.

For example Cell A1 is 9.5 x 2.5 which gives 23.75
but what is actually displayed to users is rounded to 24
So how do I use 24 as a reference instead of 23.75?
So in Cell B1, it would be =A1x100 but the value is 2400 instead of 2375?
You can't use the ROUND function because if users decide to use 23.8 then the B1 cell needs to be 23.8x100

=IF((P3<$Q$1),E3-S3,IF((G3="B"),"Not Changed",IF((G3="MT"),"Not Changed","Not Changed")))
Above is the formula I'm trying to get to work but it's not-a-happenin. It seems like the first IF overides all of the others. Basically I want the first IF to be ignored if column G contains any of the words shown. So basically what I think is happening is that P3 is less than Q1 so it's ignoring the rest of the IFs.
Originally my formula worked fine as:
=IF(P4<$Q$1,E4-S4,"Not Changed")
But I realized that i needed a certain category of product ignored. Products are labeled in column G.

some Excel columns (see attachment). A1 is set to =C1 and the formula is dragged down, relatively referencing column C. Column B applies a formula to the values in Column A.
If I go into the formula bar for cells in A and push enter, the spreadsheet shows the correct value and I can then push enter in the adjacent Column B cell to solve. But, how can I get these data to display properly automatically?

I am trying to re-jig a formula that shows hours worked for a particular
day, to showing any absence detail shown for a particular employee. I have
the fllowing formula which doesn't work and I'm not sure why. A similiar
formula works for me getting basic hours worked etc
=SUMPRODUCT(--(DailyDate=F67)*(StaffNumber=$C$11),(AbsenceDetail))
My range names are correct and all have the same 'length'. F67 is 09/05/05;
StaffNumber = 100 and the value that is within the AbsenceDetail cell for
the 09/05/05 for # 100 is Holiay, except my formula returns 0 (I have it
formatted as General)

I'm trying to plot a function with specific values marked on the X axis (or at least distributed according to the said values). Namely, I have something like this:
And while it does plot the Y's as I want them to be plotted, X'es are just used as labels, which causes 0 and 100 to be equally apart as 933,9 and 944. How can I plot it, then, so that I simply select my desired Y values, their corresponding X values and get the plotted function?

I'm using the code below to form part of staff resource spreadsheet, but I'm having a little difficulty with a piece of the script.
Code:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rInt As Range, res As Variant
Dim cell As Range
Sheets("Input").Protect "password", UserInterFaceOnly:=True, AllowFiltering:=True
[Code] ....
The piece of the script which I'm having difficulty with is this:
Code:
For Each cell In Range("B7:B400")
If cell.Value = "No" Then
MsgBox "If " & cell.Offset(0, 1).Value & " has left R&D, please remember to delete any future resource forecasts"
End If
Next
When the cell value has changed to 'No' the pop up message appears, but for some strange reason the message is shown 5 times, despite their being only one record.The other problem I have is if I add another record and change the value to 'No' in column B, the message is shown twice, once for the previous record and the second for the new.

I'm making a line diagram, showing how a value changes over time. My data is measured every 30 min, which results in a mess when it's plotted over a month.
How do I limit the number of times shown on the x-axis, for instance so that only the date (every 24 hours) is shown?
