Hi all,
I've been getting this error on occasion recently.
- It'southward a shared document
- There is usually 10-12 people using the file at the same fourth dimension
I've read on the Microsoft Help site that the issue is that somebody is accessing the file while another is trying to open information technology.
Is there a fashion, peradventure through VBA, that I tin can not allow a user to salvage while somebody else is opening the document? Other suggestions on how to avert this error?
Thanks!
I did a flake of browsing on this trouble. Constitute others suffering the same but haven't plant any conclusive answer yet.
Every so oftentimes when I attempt to salve a file, (including save as), Excel won'r allow me. Past won't let me I hateful:
using Save doesn't appear to practise anything using Salvage As doesn't either do annihilation, the dialog is not displayed and if I am doing via the File menu then the File menu is exited and the previous ribbon tab is displayed (i.ethe one I was on before clicking 'File') if I close the workbook I am prompted to save, close without saving or cancel. Clicking save just invokes the same msgbox once again. I can't piece of work out when it goes into this mode. Some days I tin work without this problem, other days I encounter this two or 3 times.
The only thing I could suspect was I recall this started around about the time I installed xlDennis' code library. I accept uninstalled the addin and and then far so good, but I cannot categorically say that this was the crusade.
Anyone have any idea?
Cheers
Jon

I'm having a problem in a workbook with several ActiveX control buttons. I had been using the form control buttons to run macros, just the boss wanted each button to have information technology'south own, different color. So I removed the course command buttons and created new ActiveX command buttons. I got into the button properties and fix the background colors. I added the _Click code to run the macros when the user clicked the buttons.
All of the buttons were working fine. And so I saved and closed the workbook and went to lunch. Now when I open the workbook, the buttons don't work! When I click them nix happens. They appear frozen. They don't even seem to click. No error message. Nothing.
If I right-click the push in Design Mode and select Properties, I get canvass properties not the push properties. I can't seem to locate the command push button properties whatever longer. I notwithstanding run into the button proper noun "cmdButtonGetInfo" and "=EMBED("Forms.CommandButton.1","") in the name box and formula bar. The odd affair is if I create a new button it works fine until I save and shut the file. When I reopen the file none of the buttons piece of work.
It'south like the buttons are beingness disabled when I close or open up the file. Any suggestions?
I accept workbook in which I want to salvage a specific worksheet to a new file with only the values saved - all data in this worksheet are references to cells on another worksheet, which is using VLOOKUP to pull data from a database.
Found the following lawmaking and it gets me close, just it copies the cell references, not the values. Information technology too allows me to specify the file name from a cell reference.
I want the new workbook file to simply be saved, not opened, and a message box to display stating where the file was saved (will always be in the same location on the LAN).
What modifications do I brand to this to become this to work per above requirements?
Sub CopyMe()
Dim SaveMeAs Every bit String
SaveMeAs = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B2").Text
Sheets("Sheet3").Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\My Documents\" & SaveMeAs
End Sub
I know this question has been asked a bajillion times, so I apologize for the redundancy.
I am working with an Excel spreadsheet and saving it equally a .csv file in gild to upload to an application that parses out the .csv data as transactions. The system requires .csv files, so this is how I demand to relieve my medico (with this extension). I accept been successful at preventing Excel from coverting that long number into scientific format. I have saved every bit a TXT file, pasted the longer number and it displays correctly. That is all adept. Simply I accept to save as a .csv. So if I do that, close the Excel window, then open again (as the .csv file), the numbers are dorsum to existence displayed in scientific format. I have tried creating an Excel doc from scratch and entering text in Text format, to see if this created a cleaner file. But again, the second I salve as .csv, shut the window and then open up that file upwardly once again, that dang scientific format is back.
Does anyone have any thought of how to work around this? Once I have successfully gotten the numbers to display every bit the long-concatenation number, how can I get them to "stick" and so that they don't revert back to scientific format when I reopen the file?
Thanks so much for your help!
I need help desparately. Last night I spent several hours working on an
Excel 2002 spreadsheet and it has disappeared.
I saved it routinely as I was making many changes updates etc. I opened
original file --stuff.xls --- made changes and saved information technology as again every bit
stuff.xls. I have done this several times earlier.
Today, when I go to open up stuff.xls, it is nowhere to exist establish!!!!! I have
washed a search, for any file modified since Thurs and nothing has appeared. I
take checked the recycle bin, this did not get into auto recover nothing of
the like. I am but traumatized, considering I have NEVER had anything similar this
happen before.
I even idea perhaps I didn't save it every bit often as I thought, (I know that
I did) but I remembered that I saved information technology at least once and I can't even find
an Excel file that has been modified since Thurs!!!
Does anyone have any idea what could take happened to this file?? BTW, I
have prayed, rebooted, run spybot, called witch medico, all with no success.
I have never had a file to just disappear with no trace. Whatsoever help would be
greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I have a number of different files that I ofttimes need to run a macro on. In club for me to do information technology on the 75-100 files I have at any given fourth dimension, I need to open up one, run the macro, close and save, then open the side by side one.
Is information technology possible to write a macro that will offset with the kickoff file in a binder, open information technology and update links, run a macro, save and close, and open up the next file in the folder until it has open all the files in the folder.
I have feel with creating macros that reference different workbooks, just not sure how to go nigh opening files with different filenames (without referencing the exact filename).
I'd similar to be able to have basic code for opening, saving and endmost, opening side by side file, saving and closing, etc. and input the macro I'd need to run in each file in the appropriate location. Is this possible? Whatever help is profoundly appreciated!!
Thank you,
Jason
I accept an excel course, I desire my users to be able to open the form, make full in appropriate data, and then click the save button. When the push is clicked, the data in the form should exist saved to a new file and and so the original form should be reset (clear all values) for a new set of information entry. When the data is saved, I want the new excel canvass to exist saved to a location specified within the macro so the user doesn't have any options and I desire the title of the new file to be the value of i of the cells.
I'm new to macros and would appreciate any help this board can offer. Thank you...
I take a large spreadsheet in Excel 2007. I am converting it to a .csv file to import in to another program. I need to delete all commas from all data.
When I try to replace all commas (with zero or with another graphic symbol), I go the fault bulletin "The formula yous typed contains an error."
I have tried various formats (text, general, etc.) and various file types (.xls,.xlsx, .csv) and nevertheless get the same fault.
I have a VBMacro Excel file loaded on a Server that numerous people access. A Macro in this file creates a Re-create of a specific Sheet within the Active Workbook and I want to Save it to the individual'due south Desktop.
How do I find out what the current User's desktop folder path is each fourth dimension the Marco is run by a different User?
Example User's path: 'C:\Documents and Settings\jfarc\Desktop'
Where 'jfarc' is the proper noun of the current User which, volition of course change with every different User that runs the Macro.
Also, is there a fashion to pull out of Excel what is the current User'due south 'Options | General | Default File Location' entry? Which may differ from the above directory.
I am familiar with and employ the following coding for Opening/Saving files to the current directory of the opened workbook, but it simply gives the path of the existing Excel workbook and not the current User'southward Directory Path:
Dim wbThis As Workbook
Set up wbThis = ThisWorkbook
ChDir wbThis.Path
I have a file that became too big due to phantom bloat, unused range saved by Excel and all that kind of reasons. Thank to previous posts on that lath tackling that result, I was able to notice how to proceed to reduce the file dorsum to its normal size.
But I did so in a beta file (test file). The real file has go so big (103MB!) that Excel cannot even open it anymore! The file contains archive info that we do not have anywhere else.
Is in that location anyway and then to open the file or to reduce its size without opening it (through magics...)? I just honestly don't know how to retrieve that info before deleting that file.
Cheers very much for your help.
I'm trying to open up a pdf file from within excel vba. I have tried using the followhyperlink method only adobe acrobat opens very briefly then immediately closes Code:
Sub OpenPDF() 'Dim pdf Equally String On Error Resume Side by side 'pdf file to open pdf = "Thousand:\PDF\mypdf.pdf" 'open the pdf file ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink pdf End Sub
Then then I tried to create an instance of acrobat by setting a reference to the acrobat object but I tin't go this to work either!
The lawmaking I'1000 using is Code:
Sub OpenPDF() Dim pdf Every bit AcroPDDoc Dim strPDF Equally String Set pdf = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc") 'pdf file to open strPDF = "Thousand:\PDF\mypdf.pdf" 'open the pdf file pdf.Open strPDF End Sub Whatsoever ideas what could be incorrect with either approach?

Hello everyone!!!!
Here is my situation. I have been trying to larn macros but have not made 1 still. Need your help. Here at work, I have some incompentant reckoner workers who claim they KNOW MS sooo well and have certificates etc... *Coughing Cough* ya ok... LMAO
We have a "shared" piece of work book we all work in. Information technology's zippo fancy, just utilise it equally a PO Book but since it is shared some people keep to not save before they add together in more work and so that they see a "refreshed" copy of the workbook earlier they get-go writing in cells that already contain information.
How to I create a macro button at the top of the page that is literally a SAVE button.. instead of them saving past going to File - Save or cntrl+s ??? I only thought that Mayhap having a big push in their face will remind them.
Secondly equally dorsum up I was wondering if you tin create a macro to do a refresh of everyones screens automatically - say every ii or v mins??? I don't mean a salve... but a refresh so the screen actually updates in front of you. (although I will keep this little piece of magic out of their cognition so they don't rely on it, only though it would exist a secondary back upwards to helping eliminate these mishaps cause nosotros are loosing alot of information past people saving overtop of other peoples piece of work and not caring.)
Thanks so much!!!!! Muchly appriciated.
Is it possible to share a workbook with macros and have the macros piece of work properly. I accept one spreadsheet that needs to be shared by many users. We want to all be in the same document at the same time saving changes. The real catch is that the workbook has macros. I used the 'Share Workbook' part under tools. At the end of the setup, it told me that the macros would not work properly. The odd thing is that everytime I try to click on one of the macros I become an error, but yet the macro however performs the function. So essentially the macro works, it is just a pain because you have to click 'stop' everytime on the error screen. Any suggestions?

file locked for editing , can I kick the other user out if its my file?
I have made an excel file where other people have to go in and update it. This process takes 2 secs but some people forget and stay in it over lunch etc causing a great annoyance.
Is at that place anyway I can "kick" them out my file? Im not concerned if they lose any information they've entered as I'm sure this will help them get the message to exit the file quicker..
Its really doing my head in... pls help

In the Excel file, in concluding column, I have given the respective serial numbers. In club to hyperlink ane has to select that item Cell, press Ctrl 1000 and y'all automatically become to the folder containing private photographs, you lot select that photo and OK.
Problem :
I have to do this hyperlinking i by i and if there m photos, lot of time is wasted.
Solution Needed :
Just in case of excel formula, which we copy and paste, Can I get a command by virtue of which the column titled Photograph or cavalcade side by side to it gets automatically Hyperlinked to corresponding photograph WHEN I copy and paste such command to all cells in that column.
Thanks a million and warm regards ::: Jack
I was wondering if there is a style of getting a macro to open the "save as" dialogue box and then have it make full in the "file proper name" field.
I dont desire information technology to actually make the save though as I want the user to have the chance to check that the save location is right and the selection to change the filename if required.
Cheers.
Nosotros have an Excel spreadsheet that sits on the network.
People need to open the file to be able to sign upwardly for various duty rosters.
We would like for the file to open for the kickoff person.
And and so for any others after that, go a message that the file is in use
WITHOUT the option to open a read-only copy.
Our staff tin can't read and they continue opening additional copies of the file!
I take read about sharing the file and I don't remember that would brand things
any meliorate.
Thanks,
Lynn
I have a co-worker's file that he is having trouble with. He is using Excel 2000 SP3. When copying a cell with a formula in it of "=D6+C6" and pasting it into the next cell downwards, it will display the same value in the cell every bit the calculated value from to a higher place, merely has the right formula displayed in the formula bar of "=D7+C7".
Case:
A1: 50
A2: 10
B1: 60
B2: 20
A3: Formula: =A1+A2 Displays: 60
Right click A3, Copy, right click B3, paste
A3 displays 60
When I click salvage, it will change the brandish value to 80.
I am trying this on his workstation and mine. Mine has Office 2010, then I retrieve there might be an issue with the file itself.
Also, not just copy and paste. I tin likewise only click the top cell after filling in the formula and then drag the bottom right of the cell downward and information technology will do the same of filling in the correct formula, but take the wrong value.
I know that I could get him to but click relieve each time before really looking at the results, just that is only a band aid to the problem.
Whatever ideas how to fix this?
