Spreadsheet Defaults To Read-only For One User Only?? |
Spreadsheet Defaults To Read-only For One User Only?? - Excel |
|
Firstly, apologies if this is a "schoolboy question", but it's something
I've never encountered before, and want to ensure it's not something simple
before referring to our central IT.
A spreadsheet document is set to require a Write password when opening. The
document itself is not set to "Read Only" in its properties. For all users,
except one, the document opens correctly, requesting a password to enter
read/write mode.
For a single user, however, the document defaults to "Read Only" mode
without requesting a password.
This has been the case for a week or more. The user in question has the same
access permissions to the folder in question as the users who can open the
document ok.
Are there any settings on her Excel application that would cause something
like this to happen? She's able to use other Excel documents from other
locations which have exactly the same properties in the way that she should,
so it seems to be something particular to this document - but everyone else
can use it OK!
Any ideas would be gratefully received!
Thanks

So far I can get everything to work besides the Submit part. The code runs without errors, but doesn't actually "hit" the submit button on the webpage.
For posting, I removed my actual user name and password and and used the generic " User Name " and " Password " highlighted in blue.

I've been getting this error on occasion recently.
- It's a shared document
- There is usually 10-12 people using the file at the same time
I've read on the Microsoft Help site that the issue is that somebody is accessing the file while another is trying to open it.
Is there a way, perhaps through VBA, that I can not allow a user to save while somebody else is opening the document? Other suggestions on how to avoid this error?
Thanks!
an object, I see how I can "lock", "size and move with cells" or "not
move with cells". No matter what I select, the object moves off the
screen, when the user, scrolls to the right of the spreadsheet.
Is there a way to lock the position, let's say , in the upper right
corner and have it stay there?
This would be quite useful for an EXIT button, that I have created,
that will close the program without saving (it's a read-only file.)
Thanks to all the wonderful people here that have been so helpful and
give us their valuable insight and time.

I have an excel file that is password protected. I have opened it as read-only.. Is there any way to unlock it & do it modifiable when I already opened it as read only (of course without having to close it & re-open it and enter password lol)
Thanks,
The problem is I can use code such as
strHTMLText = ie.Document.body.innerText
or
strHTMLText = ie.Document.body.outerText
to retrieve the code, but in either case only part, not all, of the source code is captured. I need ALL the code. Is there some kind of code such as ie.Document.body.allText or similar that would perform this function?
Much obliged!
People need to open the file to be able to sign up for various duty rosters.
We would like for the file to open for the first person.
And then for any others after that, get a message that the file is in use
WITHOUT the option to open a read-only copy.
Our staff can't read and they keep opening additional copies of the file!
I have read about sharing the file and I don't think that would make things
any better.

Basically I have created a spreadsheet with several columns, but I have one column that lists the shirt size (YS, YM, YL, AS, AM, AL, XL, 2X, 3X) of each person. Is there a formula that I can create that will tabulate the number of sizes (i.e. AS=2, AM=7, etc.)?
In previous years I made a column for each size, and simply placed a "1" in the correct column, and had excel just add the 1's from each column. However, that takes more time and space. I was hoping to streamline it this time around.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, doug
I need to open a password protected workbook using VBA.
I've tried the code below but I still get prompted for a password.
Code:
Workbooks.Open Filename:="\\HOME\Working\Report.xls" _ , Password:="xxxx"
How do I get it to open automatically???
I am new to using Excel and I am not very computer literate. I am looking for some help with a spreadsheet I am making. Here is the problem:
I have a column of 14 numbers in cells A1 to A14. If all of these values are less than 2%, I would like a "Pass" to display in cell B1. If any of these values are greater than 2% I would like a "Fail" to display in cell B1.
I have got a formula that works for a single cell but I can't figure out how to get it to apply to more than one cell. For example, I have entered =IF(A1<2,"Pass","Fail") in cell B1. Now if the value I enter in A1 is less than 2, it shows a "Pass", and if the value in A1 is greater than 2 it shows a "Fail" in cell B1. How can I get this to apply to all of the cells from A1 to A14?
If somebody could help me out that would be great.
Thanks,

Im very familiar with how to write a macro to automatically autofilter a list based upon a Cell Value (i.e. Range =(A1)...etc.).... but what I cannot figure out how to correctly write is a way to have Excel automatically autofilter a list for any row that CONTAINS the Cell Value, instead of just the exact value.
Cell Value = "birds"
Example -- I need to filter every row so that I see every row that CONTAINS "birds" in the character-string, not just the row that = "birds".
a) is this possible?
If not, I'd like to know also so I can stop attempting to guess (-;
Thanks!!!

In simple terms, you can't enter data in cell X, until cell "Y" has been populated with something.
Can anyone help with this, because I can't figure it out....
How do I find out what the current User's desktop folder path is each time the Marco is run by a different User?
Example User's path: 'C:\Documents and Settings\jfarc\Desktop'
Where 'jfarc' is the name of the current User which, will of course change with every different User that runs the Macro.
Also, is there a way to pull out of Excel what is the current User's 'Options | General | Default File Location' entry? Which may differ from the above directory.
I am familiar with and use the following coding for Opening/Saving files to the current directory of the opened workbook, but it only gives the path of the existing Excel workbook and not the current User's Directory Path:
Dim wbThis As Workbook
Set wbThis = ThisWorkbook
ChDir wbThis.Path
All of the buttons were working fine. Then 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 nothing happens. They appear frozen. They don't even seem to click. No error message. Nothing.
If I right-click the button in Design Mode and select Properties, I get sheet properties not the button properties. I can't seem to locate the command button properties any longer. I still see the button name "cmdButtonGetInfo" and "=EMBED("Forms.CommandButton.1","") in the name box and formula bar. The odd thing is if I create a new button it works fine until I save and close the file. When I reopen the file none of the buttons work.
It's like the buttons are being disabled when I close or open the file. Any suggestions?

I have a sheet with raw data a sheet with pivot tables a sheet with a dashboard and a simple macro
I don't have any #REF cells either.
Someone has any idea of what could be the problem?

I have the following code:
Code:
Sub Development() Pass = InputBox("Please enter development password", "Password") If Pass = "XYZ" Then UnhideAll Else: MsgBox ("Password incorrect, please try again") End If End Sub
This works, but I want to hide the text as it is entered.
Is there a way I can enter this as a property? i.e. inputbox.text.property = ... or something?? I've tried what seems intuitive, but nothing works.
Help!
would like to be able to use, but it is password protected and no one has the
password. Is there a way to copy or save it as a different file that will
not copy the password protection? It would save me a couple days of work if
it is possible.
Thanks
I found an excellent macro this morning that allows the user to filter a pivot table based on the value found in a specific cell. This cell essentially acts as a search bar, allowing the user to type in what they are looking for rather than select it from a drop-down list.
The macro works perfectly for my purposes except in one regard: I can no longer perform a "show all" filter. If I leave the "search bar" cell blank, the pivot table shows nothing. I'm sure that there is an easy fix for this but I'm still learning the basics of how to write and use macros. How can I change the code so that when I leave the cell blank, the pivot table shows all? The search bar cell is D2.
Thanks for your time!
