$$Excel-Macros$$ Method now fails
This routine USED to work. I added two lines of comment to indicate the problem. ... vNam = Cells(2, 7).Text + "V" 'board voltage pPath = "D:\ANALOG\HVREG\Boards\TITANTWO\TT_C\Jumpers\" ActiveSheet.Shapes(1).Select ' ERROR: Method of 'Active Printer' of object '_Application' failed ' Application.ActivePrinter does not get set Application.ActivePrinter = "Acrobat PDFWriter on FILE:" ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Preview:=False, _ ActivePrinter:="Acrobat PDFWriter on FILE:", PrintToFile:=True, _ Collate:=False, PrToFileName:=pPath + vNam Kill pPath + vNam 'only PDF left ... Be advised that the error exists no matter the default printer setting, so please do not say "change the printer default". Excel mandates that the value for Application.ActivePrinter be set, so please do not say to remove that line of code. I am looking for a useful solution (or a possible reason as why it no longer works). Thanks. -- Are you =EXP(E:RT) or =NOT(EXP(E:RT)) in Excel? And do you wanna be? It’s =TIME(2,DO:IT,N:OW) !

$$Excel-Macros$$ Cannot remove metadata folder(s)
In an Excel macro, inside a loop I issue the following,
where the names are unique each time:
Workbooks.Open Filename:=openFYL$
With Worksheets(1)
' .Copy''do not need; saves BOOKn space
.SaveAs svWK$
End With
' NOTE: Related metadata folders are created on the fly
Open svWK$ For Input As #1 'EG: "USE_P001.TXT"
When the loops are done, then and only then can i attempt to
close and remove the files.
Close 'MUST close files, for removal
For PG = 1 To 7
'* Remove parsed secondary files for minimum handles
For nsnFIND = 1 To 11
FPG$ = Right$("000" + Mid$(Str$(PG), 2), 3)
REF$ = Right$("0" + Mid$(Str$(nsnFIND), 2), 2)
svWK$ = "DET_R" + FPG$ + REF$ + ".txt"
On Error Resume Next'** NOTE: does not always work
Workbooks(svWK$).Close SaveChanges:=True
Kill sav2$
RmDir deeFAULT$ + "DET_R" + FPG$ + REF$ + "_files"
Next nsnFIND
'* Remove parsed primary files for minimum handles
FPG$ = Right$("000" + Mid$(Str$(PG), 2), 3)
svWK$ = "DET_P" + FPG$ + ".txt"
Workbooks(svWK$).Close SaveChanges:=True
Kill svWK$
'deeFAULT$ = "C:\Users\BOB\Documents\"
' PATH AND FILE NAME IS CORRECT
' Furthermore, the folder can manually be removed
' while program is running!
dirLOC = deeFAULT$ + "DET_P" + FPG$ + "_files"
On Error Resume Next ' to bypass access error
RmDir dirLOC '** Path/File access error
On Error GoTo 0
Next PG
So,the folder specification in each case is absolutely correct,
and as i indicate,i can manually delete/remove any one of them
WHILE THE PROGRAM IS RUNNING (and creating more).
How the heck can this be fixed?

$$Excel-Macros$$ How can one control data entry and truly protect a verified entry
Assume one has a spreadsheet with some titles and column headings, along with a row of data already filled out by an automated copy from a previous "journal". Pardon this is long; think i have given all what i want out of this Excel "program". Assume previous journal (sheet) had a number,want this new one to be given (show) in $B$4 the next number. Want $B$3 to be current date. After that, want all cells $A$1 to $P$8 to be locked out from any attempt to change; better yet, no visiting allowed. Input cell at this time is $A$9 and input cell is advanced to $B$9; after contents are verified to be integer numeric,then that cell is locked and only then input cell is advanced for next entry and that is verified according to preset rules for that cell, which is then locked out. This continues to right up to and including $I$9; values are calculated for cells $J$9 to $P$9; and then all of those cells are locked out. At this point,row 9 is locked and this process is repeated for row 10, etc to row 33. Row 35 accumulates sums for the appropriate columns, and the user is locked out from making changes. Row 6 values and row 35 get added into row 37 and is similarly locked. Column K is calculated as a receipt number,incrementing as each row is completed by the user. Per rules above, the user is locked out and cannot change it. Rows not filled out by user remain empty. Then a new "journal"/sheet is made with old row 37 copied to new row 6, the journal number is incremented and the locking and forced data entries as mentioned continue.

However, there seems to be no way to have the script wait for user input (and then check appropriate conditions) before going to next logical step. If that can be done, it seems i could write the script to do most of what i want. The locking out i want would seem to be yet another problem. Suggestions?

Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Re: How can one control data entry and truly protect a verified entry
WOW!
That works!
Thanks a lot!
Attempted to try:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal WkSh As Object, ByVal AmAt
As Excel.Range)
' Supposedly runs when a sheet selection (cell?) is changed.
whatName = WkSh.Name: wheregot = AmAt
If wheregot <> CellLoc Then
X = X ' set as a breakpont; NEVER happens
End If
End Sub
..which never executed, so that idea was DOA.
The Application.InputBox() is perfect.
Thanks again.

Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Re: How can one control data entry and truly protect a verified entry
Color me confused.
SheetSelectionChange event? where?
This is a typical input i have:
B_n:Cells(Frow, Fcol).Select' force location
Tytle = "Enter charges:"
Avar = Application.InputBox(Tytle) ' returns type text
If Avar = "FALSE" Then GoTo B_n
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = Val(Avar)
Chrg = Val(Avar): ColChg = ColChg + Chrg
Fcol = Fcol + 1 '$C$9
<\CODE>
I control Frow and Fcol,which does the "locking" i wanted,as user cannot
do anything except input data exactly where i want.
I save the row data at the end, and give options at the start for "what
is next".
Now,it would be useful to be able to position that input box, as well as
change the font of the text in the box.
And, i think lastly, have the app automatically run when the XLS program
is launched.
Thanks,
Robert Baer
PS: have yet to test the "FALSE" part (ie: one clicks on "Cancel" in the
input box.
