I use the vba to open excel file. like workbooks.open filename:=abc.xlsm but I found that if the file is opened by other. Excel still open the file but it will not notify user that it is opened as read only.
Would you add more line to notify user if the file is opened by other?

I am runnig Excel 2010. I was wondering how I lock an Excel file (make it 'Read Only') if someone already has it open?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a file that works fine on my computer. When I email it to anyone with 2010 and they open it from their email account (Outlook 2010), the file automatically opens up in 'Protected Mode'. If the user selects "Enable Editing" the user receives 'Run Time error 91: Object variable or with block variable not set'.
If the user closes out the vba error and saves the file to their computer and reopens the file, it works fine.
BTW, it is not a complex macro, it is error out at
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Worksheet").Select
I call it from a macro. It is supposed to write some temporary files, and close them in the end, and delete them. Sometimes, the dll can't close properly, and the text files remain open.
With error treatment in my macro, I can continue execution, but i need to delete that files.
Since the dll DOES NOT CLOSE the files, i'm not able to delete them in my macro.
I need some way to close that files, in order to delete them.
When I use GetFile to reference the file, it remains as "File", which does not accept "Close" method. I can reference the file with myfile.OpenAsTextStream, but this way it seems to me that the file is opened again, and the "Close" method does not work either, with the file defined as a TextStream object.
If I close excel, I'm able to delete those files, but that's not the way I want. Since IT'S OPEN IN EXCEL PROCESS, I imagine there's some way to close it.

We have several salespeople who maintain a workbook tracking their workflow. I want to compile the customer account number, account name and deal number for each rep to another workbook. A new sourcebook is started each week. This code is in the target book
'Option Explicit
Public sourcebook As Object 'the workflow workbook
Sub GETDATA()
Dim wsc As Double 'the number of pages in the workflow
Dim col As Long 'the column in this workbook for returning values
Dim IntEndRow As Double 'the end row in this book
Dim SrcEndRow As Double 'the end row in workflow
Dim findval 'the column workflow where the sourcedata is found
My code allows the user to select a workbook and then loops through each sheet in that book searching for the column which has the info I need, this changes on each sheet as the reps each deal with different types of customer as so take different details. I solved this by having column headers in the target book and searching for them in the sourcebook.
This code works when I step through it but falls over at the "Set sourcebook" line when I run it where it returns a breakpoint error.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow come in 2013 there does not seem to be an option to "save as" an earlier version of Excel, specifically 2010?
I opened up something from work (2010) at home (2013) and must have refined it (nothing complicated or fancy that 2010 can't do!)
Now it won't open up at work and tells me to reopen and save as the old version.But 2013 won't let me.

I have a program that opens an excel-workbook, I first check whether the file is opened by another user(open for read-write). This works fine, but I'd like to know which user has the file open with VBa code. ex.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have developed a product that's a bunch of Excel spreadsheets strung together. Real estate and mortgage professionals use the tools to counsel home buyers. We include a pdf converter in case recipients of emailed file attachments don't have Excel.
We provide an 'Export' procedure that calls a custom dll that uses the outgoing mail server that the user [must] setup or our web's mail server as a default. The action attaches the Excel or the PDF file and sends in the background. We use an Excel form for user to write the message and the process saves a copy of the message sent and the file send in an Archives folder.
This procedure is not very user friendly, as it does not offer the user's address book to select a recipient, does not put the message in the user's email client Sent folder...Plus the Archives folder could become quite large...plus it involves a user setup that creates alot of support calls.
But actually the most critical shortcoming has become that ISPs (Comcast and ATT so far) are blocking the use of custom email clients!
Recently my son showed me in QuickBooks their attach file-to-email process. It simply opens the user's default email client with the file attached. I need an app that does that! And it needs to be distributable.
I am making a macro that requires that user to enter a directory path into a input box and the macro will open the file. Right now it works fine bit i would like to change the code so that instead of using an input box it brings up a box that will allow them to browse files on their computer and then select one to open.
