I want to use this command when I open every workbook.
How do I do that? I know you're supposed to put the macro in the thisworkbook module in the workbook, but I have 600 workbooks that needs to be changed. That is just not a good idea. I've tried to put the macro in the workbook called own.xls (I use a swedish version of excel, dont know what it is called in english) thisworkbook,
I script that on open would pop up asking if a sync was done with an option for yes or no. If yes is pressed then it would just open, if no selected it would give a message "must sync before use" and close the workbook.
I do not want this message to pop up when other spreadsheets are open when this one is still open so im guessing private workbook_open
I am using the following code in my Workbook_Open sub, located in the ThisWorkbook code module. I am enabling macros when opening. All other VBA code in the project is running correctly.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Worksheets("Sheet1").init
MsgBox "starting"
End Sub
The init sub did not appear to be running so I inserted the MsgBox to confirm, but that doesn't come up either.
I have an Excel add-in file (stored .xla format) that is used by a lot of other spreadsheets on a network location because it is modified often, and all workbooks made from a template reference it. everything with that works fine, and any changes made to the add-in file are always reflected upon startup in the workbooks. So there isn't a problem with that. Recently I've had to add a Workbook_Open() sub into this add-in (which I wrote in 'ThisWorkbook'). However, this macro is never entered by any of the workbooks. Is it possible to have a workbook_open sub in another file? If so, what can be causing it to fail (there aren't any errors or anything like that in the sub)?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have noticed this on more than one workbook with an Workbook_Open macro. When you open Excel, open Workbook1, do some work , save or don't save and close, then reOpen Workbook1 without having closed the Excel application, the Workbook_Open macro in Workbook1 doesn't run.
Closing Excel and reopening Workbook1 initiates the Workbook_Open macro. It's as if Excel remembers having previously opened Workbook1 and so it doesn't rerun the Workbook_Open macro the next time you open it.
I have 3 userforms:
COS

from 1 sheet i am opening several other worksheets and read in the bits i want.
i am finding that on occasions the workbook_open on these sheets is causing great performance issues because of the calc mode set to automatic in the open routine of the individual sheets. i dont need it to be set to auto but the sheet owners perfer it to be set like this and i cant turn it off their sheets. is ther a way of opening a workbook from a macro and then override its workbook_open routine?
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(sSourceFolder & "" & "mySheet.xls", False, True)
i cant find any other switches that i could use to disable this.
why the code below might not execute ? It just seems like it skips over the code and doesn't run at all.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'AssignRequestNumber()
MsgBox ("Whoa")
Run "AssignTrackNumber"
End Sub
I have a macro assigning a unique number to the file in a fixed cell whenever the .xlt file is opened from File-New.
i have a workbook iam using as a template.(workbook "template") the user opens which then requests a job number which will then saves the workbook as the enterd job number. this workbook also contains all the material data. eg: price and type which is on sheet "data". I am hopin to get to the sheet "data" from another workbooks command button by bypassing the job enter request by the workbook_open sub. basically i need some code that disables a workbook_open sub

problems with Global Static Variables.
In the Workook_open Sub I want to define 2 global static Variables.
For some reason I can't get it to work.
Whenever I try to access these vars they have the value "0"
I use Excel 2000.
Here is what i did:
Dim i As Integer
Dim ws As Worksheet
Public Static GlobalStartX As Integer
Public Static GlobalStartY As Integer
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
GlobalStartX = 6
GlobalStartY = 21
End Sub
the following workbook open event which repeats a macro called "Refresh" every 30 minutes. However, there is another macro "tame_blph" that i wanna call at 12 midnight everyday.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Call tame_blph
NextTick = Now + TimeValue("00:30:00")
Application .OnTime NextTick, "Refresh", , True
End Sub
Is it even possible to have multiple Workbook open events and/or multiple NextTick or something?
I have built a complex vba & multisheet spreadsheet that I am looking to secure against all the common attacks. So I have:A Workbook Open pw;
VBA password (29 symbols/numbers/Caps/lower case)
Very Hidden worksheets
Hidden rows/columns
Restricted scroll areas
Workbook protection
Code that auto protects all sheets upon opening
Registry referencing in Workbook Open with timed closure if not matched
Now I am on the last leg of implementing protection against Application.EnableEvents = False; force enabling of Macros and hiding of toolbars, scrollbars etc... Phew.
Soooo, in my research, I have learnt that if EnableEvents = False, Workbook_Open is essentially skipped and the security VBA routines are disabled. To get around, I have copied the entire contents of the Workbook_Open routine to a module under Auto_Open. The first line of both these scripts is: Application.EnableEvents = True.
Works! So far so good.
However, I have a Msgbox prompt in the scripts that displays twice. So in essence, Excel is running Workbook Open first, then Auto Open second.
If I open another instance of Excel and run Application.EnableEvents = False first before opening my spreadsheet, I only get one message. So only the Auto Open script runs.
i have this code which askes the user for a job number once the workbook is opened.
Private Sub Workbook_open()
' If sheet was named by original open routine, exit
If ActiveSheet.Name = "Main Roof" Then Exit Sub
' otherwise
Do
Returnvalue = InputBox("Please Enter a New Job Number.", "Information")
' Allow changes by entering q as the Job Number
If Returnvalue = "q" Then Exit Sub
' Delete the ' from the front of the following two lines and
' then when you enter q as the Job Number you will also be
' asked for a password. The default password is toe.
what iam trying to do is get it to open the userform "WorkSelection" after it has completed the above code.
i have been trying to hide the userform from the workbook open event with no luck
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
ufmTheEstimator.Show
Dim Worksheet As Excel.Worksheet
If Me.Worksheets("Main Roof"). Name = True Then
ufmTheEstimator.Hide
End If
End Sub
I've been setting the above property to TRUE after making some changes in the Workbook_open event in order to stop annoying messages if you haven't physically made changes.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to copy through to the workbook_beforeclose event and I'm being asked if I want to save changes even though the macro made the changes and then set the property.
Here's my code for the open event :-
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error Resume Next
For counter = Worksheets.Count To 2 Step -1
Sheets(counter).Visible = xlVeryHidden
Next
Sheets("Desktop").Visible = True
Sheets(1).Visible = xlVeryHidden.....

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)?
View 2 Replies View RelatedTrying to create a new workbook from another open workbook, then copying all the sheets that aren't called "Summary" to that new open workbook and then saving it. I get a subscript error on this line:
[Code]....
All i did was i just created a form to open a workbook from the directories.
Code to copy the data from that recently opened workbook to my workbook where I have my forms. I need to copy that data as in the case that i don't know the workbook and the sheet name i'am going to open as i may open any of the files!!
I have data that daily needs to be refreshed and printed to pdf.
I figure the simplest way to do this would be to task schedule the workbook to open daily. Then on open it will refresh the data, print it after all data has been refreshed and close the workbook.
I set it up originally without the need to print so I have all the queries set to refresh when opening the file, however when I now try and put the code to print to pdf on the workbook open event it runs before the queries are finished running. (Query notes: queries were created through Microsoft query, and are accessing a MySQL database queries set to refresh when opening the file queries set to enable background refresh).
I've been using the following code to bring in individual cell values from one closed workbook to an active one. I would like to modify this is possible to bring in multiple cells at once and also pull them into a different worksheet in the active workbook. Basically, my command button is on Sheet1 but I'd like the data to pull into a cell on Sheet2.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
With Range("Q9")
.Formula = "='C:Users[Workbook Name.xlsm]Worksheet Name'! N27"
.Value = .Value

I have been trying to edit a code which previously saved a copy in a new workbook to a specific folder/path. (Additionally it copies and clears some figures, but this is working as it should.)
However I would like the copy to be saved at the same location as the original workbook, regardless of the path the original workbook is saved.
I.e if I need to move the workbook containing the code to a new folder/location, when using the macro, the new copy should be stored in the same folder/location as the original one.
For now it is only saving the copy into "My Documents"

I have an open workbook (A) and this is where the code should reside. I want to use VBA to copy the content of an entire worksheet from a closed workbook (B) to an existing worksheet in workbook A. How would you accomplish this?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a code that would copy the data from each worksheet in a given workbook and then paste to just one worksheet within a different workbook. The Sheet names are auto generated when I run this canned report but the naming structure is always the same...the first worksheet is named Repair Details and then the next sheet is named Repair Details_1, the next sheet is named Repair Details_2 and so on for every sheet in workbook. So I would like to copy all of the data(Headers to last cell) and then paste in a worksheet(ex: Master Repair Report.xlsx and the worksheet could be titled Master Repair Details) on a different workbook, then the next sheet would copy from the one under the header to the last record and paste to the same workbook. This process would repeat for every worksheet in the Repair Details Workbook and paste to Master Repair Details worksheet in the Master Repair Report workbook.

what im looking to do is, if the combobox value is selected as Decline then it should display a messagebox that reference value in cell B is denied. if combobox value is Agreed then the macro should search the database workbook for the text entered in column b of wksPB and then copy data of C:E of wksPB to H:J of database sheet where that text is found and also the approver name in wksPB C24 to the approver cell of where that text was found.

I need to copy a range of values (actually two ranges). The ranges are of fixed size. Le't say A2:D20 and E2:H20.
Both workbooks have the exact same layout, and they both have the same named worksheet (in this case it's called Entry). However the actual filename of the source workbook is unknown. I know numerous users have changed the filename of the xls file.
I want to instruct them to open the old and new workbook, and open a third workbook containing the copy macro, they run the macro and it copies the data.
How can I reference a known worksheet name but of an unknown workbook name esp when the source and destination share the worksheet name?
Here's my macro:
Code:
Sub CopyRow()'
'Copies row to new sheet, highlights it, marks column 'A' as copied.
'
Dim cCell As Range
Set cCell = Selection.Cells(1, 1)
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Rows("2:2").Select
[Code] .....
Is it possible to modify it to paste into a different workbook called c:filesDestination.xlsm, instead of the existing workbook (Source.xlsm)? The destination sheet name is the same (Sheet2). It's OK if both workbooks are open at the same time.
