Using Activeworkbook And Thisworkbook.
Jul 3, 2009
I noticed all the code that i have on a userform using activeworkbook will relate to whatever the last active workbook was "who would have guessed hay" Seeing thisworkbook used a lot i decided to go through the whole project and change all activeworkbook too thisworkbook.sheet1 During this i also made a few other changes that i was confident in, When i run it now it errors on the thisworkbook.sheet1.
Is this the wrong way of using thisworkbook to make sure the code always deals with the correct file. (will this ever be affected if the file goes through a Save As)
Or is it during my over conifedents that i have made a error somewhere else and the debuger is point me here cos it hates me.

I do not want ThisWorkBook to close prematurely whenever the specified Activeworkbook is closed without saving because there are other tasks to complete. The Workbook_BeforeClose dun seem to fix it for my case below.
Here’s my situation. I want to copy data from a range of a particular protected sheet in 5 (password-protected) workbooks of a similar format, to 5 worksheets(unprotected) in ThisWorkBook, which is the Master Workbook. The password of the protected sheet is common to the 5 workbooks. The passwords of the 5 workbooks are contained in a sheet in ThisWorkbook. After copying the data from Workbook1 ( 1 of 5), ThisWorkbook are prompted for closure, when Workbook1 is closed without saving. Responding to the prompt to save or not to save, forces ThisWorkbook or MasterWorkbook to break the For-Next loop. By setting Cancel = True in Workbook_BeforeClose, I can stop Thisworkbook from closure, but I will still break the For-Next loop. I have considered the method of copying data from a closed workbook, but I dun think VBA allows copying or referencing a closed workbook which is password protected at workbook and worksheet level.
Here’s my coding :
Sub UpdateMaster()
Dim MasterWB As Workbook
Dim TempWB As Workbook
Dim Source As String
Set MyWB = ThisWorkbook
For i = 1 to 5
Set TempWB = Workbooks.Open (Filename:=WB(i), Password:=password(i) )
TempWB.Sheets("ProtectedSheet").Unprotect Password:="SheetPasswd"
MyWB.Sheets(i).Range(XXX).Value = TempWB.Sheets("ProtectedSheet").Range(YYY)
TempWB.Close False ‘dun want to respond toclose ThisWorkbook else it breaks for-next loop
Next i
Application.Quit.
End Sub

I have made a macro that displays a textbox containing the contents of a cell once the cell is clicked. The macro is written in the 'ThisWorkbook' module in the Sub 'Worksheet_SelectionChange'.
Now I want to convert this macro into an add-in so that it works on all the Excel workbooks I open. Is it possible to do this? Or is there a way in which we can automatically put the code in the 'ThisWorkbook' module of any open worksheet (doesn't seem feasible).
If you have any ideas, please let me know?

I use a code in ThisWorkbook to always open on sheet 1 when opening up the excel spreadsheet.Is there a code that I could put in to ThisWorkbook that would do a check that the workbook was e.g. "WorkbookA". If it wasn't then the start up code would be cancelled/ignored.The reason for this is that I am copying this workbook whenthe user has entered details in to it and so I do not want this code to run in the saved workbook, that will have a different name.
Workbook A is the master copy or template

I'm trying to copy all the sheets into a new workbook but the following code does not copy the workbook object called "ThisWorkbook", it does copy ALL the other sheets however.....
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Copy after:=Workbooks(fileDst).Sheets(1)
The "ThisWorkbook" object appears at the end of the list names "Microsoft Excel Object" after all the sheets are listed in the VBA project explorer, like this.....
Microsoft Excel Object
<icon> Sheet2(Sheet2)
<icon> Sheet2(Sheet2)
<icon> Sheet2(Sheet2)
<Excel icon> ThisWorkbook
I have code in there that is needed such as Workbook_Open() so it's needed when I copy to a new file or I have to hand copy it everytime.

When in a ThisWorkbook macro, I want to call a sub/macro in a Module. Usually you can just do a CALL MACRO1, and it will find it. But my MACRO1 is Private as I don't the users to be able to do a Tools, Macro, Macros and see it. So I don't want to make it a Public macro. So how do I call the private sub/macro from within ThisWorkbook?
Can I proceed the sub/macro's name with the name of the module, kind of like CALL MODULE1.MACRO1? Or do I have to make it public?

I have a userform that presents the user with 4 choices and once they click on one choice a macro runs that filters and formats the data and when the user clicks on the button start over it will reopen the file they were just using prior to the changes occurring. The reason for this is the same spreadsheet is printed up to 4 times with different information (remember the part where the data was filtered?). So basically the user clicks on option 1 the macro runs formating the page and then the user clicks start over (different userform then the first one) and the spreadsheet closes and reopens before the changes.
The way I have excel reopening the file now is by having the user input the file name into a text box and clicking OK this passes the file name to the open code in VBA. How can I tell the code the name of the sheet after the sheet is no longer active (because a userform was made active)? Basically the end goal is for the user to click over and excel will just reopen the file without any user input.

I run the macro on a currently open workbook (name could be anything) and open another workbook (name known) and step through the sheets copying various blocks of data across to the first workbook. I need to Activate the 2 workbooks alternatively as I move data back and forth and move from sheet to sheet. What I can't work out is how to determine in code what the "unknown" workbook name is so that I can make sure I activate the right workbook in the code.
I tried Activating the workbook with the "unknown" name and setting a variable = ActiveWorkbook.Name. However the value of this variable changes during the code run when you activate the other book. Is there any way to collect this value and "freeze" it so it won't change as the code runs? At the moment I have got round it by ensuring the "unknown" book is the only one open before I start and refer to it as Workbooks(1) in the code.

I have the following code that is going to trigger an export macro and an import macro allowing the user to upgrade the version of their report;
Sub Upgrade_SLA_Report()
x = MsgBox("Is the file you wish to export from open?" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "If it is click yes" & vbCrLf & "If its not click No" _
& vbCrLf & "If you need to abort the macro click cancel", vbYesNoCancel)
Select Case x
Case 6
MsgBox "Please use the Windows menu in Excel to ensure that the file" _
& "you wish to export from is the ActiveWorkbook!", vbInformation
' Missing step
If ActiveWorkbook.Name = ThisWorkbook.Name Then Exit Sub
ExpWb = ActiveWorkbook.Name
Case 7
On Error GoTo Handler
.......................End Select
Problem is, I have a missing step within Case 6 which allows the user to ensure that the file they are exporting from is the ActiveWorkbook.

I am trying to build a macro to be placed in a blank spreadsheet for use as a template.
My development platform is Excel 2003 on Windows XP SP2. The script was initially recorded as a macro against a single data file with absolute range references and worked both on my develpment platform and on the production platform (Excel 2000 on Windows 2000). However, I have been having fits trying to convert it to dynamic addressing for the PivotCaches.Add. I develop Excel solutions a few times a year and this pivot table is the deepest I have dug into OLE code, so I am not an expert and could have a simple problem. I included the entire macro because I am unsure if there are sideeffects to what some of it is doing. I am getting a 1004 error "The PivotTable field is not valid. To create a PivotTable report, you must use data that is organized as a list with labeled columns. If you are changing the name of a PivotTable field, you must type a new name for the field."
Since I do not get this error with the absolute references, I am puzzled as to what to fix. That is another reason for supplying the entire macro: ...

I have a workbook that is used by many people on a network- I am editing and saving data throughout the day, and the other users are constantly having to close and re-open thier file in order to have the most recent data. today i came across the '.UpdateFromFile' command in the help file, which would be perfect, if i could only get it to work. im guessing the problem is the expression, which would be the active workbook, but' ActiveWorkbook.updatefromfile' is not working. The file is on the network, remember, im guessing this is the problem. So, im also guessing i just need to get the syntax right for the filename.

I have used a code to find the character "-" and replace it with nothing ("") from several named worksheets across my workbook, which OzGrid helped me with before, and it worked fine. Now I've added the code into my module (at the bottom) it doesn't work. The rest of the code works fine, and it doesn't come up with any errors when I run it, but it just seems to ignore the 'find and replace' part of it.
Sub split1()
Dim fromSheet As Object
Set fromSheet = Worksheets(1)
Dim fromRow As Integer
Dim toRow As Integer
Dim lastRow As Integer
Dim errCount As Integer
Dim thisSectionName As String
Dim i As Integer ' loop counter
Dim rng As Range 'found range
Dim emptyCellAbove As Range
Dim rng1 As Range
Dim arng1 As String 'Address of 1st hit rng1
Dim ws(7) As String
Dim ii As Integer '2ND LOOP COUNTER

I recorded the following macro to select all the worksheets in the Activeworkbook by clicking on the first worksheet and then hitting Shift Tab and selecting the final worksheet (thus '[Group] selecting' all worksheets in the active workbook).
Sub Macro1()
Sheets(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3")).Select
Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("A1:B2").Select
End Sub
How do you generalise the Sheets(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3")).Select if the number and names of worksheets varies from workbook to workbook?

I'm developing an excel addin using Visual Studio 2008. At the moment i'm trying to display a popup showing the value contained in cell A1. However, i'm getting a runtime error saying that xlWorkBook is null. I've been able to get this to work if i open a workbook but i want to be able to execute my code on the currently active workbook. I thought that ActiveWorkbook (also tried ThisWorkbook) would let me do this but i'm having no success.
using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
using Office = Microsoft.Office.Core;
...
...
Excel.Application xlApp;
Excel.Workbook xlWorkBook;
Excel.Worksheet xlWorkSheet;
xlApp = new Excel.ApplicationClass();
xlWorkBook = (Excel.Workbook) xlApp.ActiveWorkbook;
xlWorkSheet = (Excel.Worksheet) xlWorkBook.Worksheets.get_Item(1);
MessageBox.Show(xlWorkSheet.get_Range("A1", "A1").Value2.ToString());
