I have created a 'Login Tracker' system where 100 people all use an excel form saved to their computer, and when they hit "submit" it opens another .xlsb file(RTS Report) in a shared drive, finds the next line, and puts the data on the next line. This all takes 2-5 seconds to complete, however, if two people hit "submit" at the same time then one gets an error that the file is already open.
im new in vba please help me code for following scenarios
Check if Database.xlsb is open by another user
If not, continue with the code
If yes (file is not available) code need wait for until file close
Sub RTS()
ThisWorkbook.Activate
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveSheet.Range("A7:D7", "Q7").Select
Range("Q7").Activate
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.Copy
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Workbooks.Open Filename:="RTS Report.xlsx", ReadOnly:=False
Dim she As Worksheet
Dim a As Integer
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("data").Activate
Set she = actveworkbook.actvesheet
b = she.Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
she.Range("A" & b + 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormulasAndNumberFormats, operation:=xlNone, Skipblanks:=False, Transpose:=False

As mentioned in the comments, excel is not ideal for this, but if is the only thing you have the following should work.
try to open until error disappears

I am pretty much new to VBA and have been trying to learn, with this I have created a code that opens another work book and combines all data to a database file and then copy this to my current open file, the problem I have is that it will not close the workbook and takes a long time doing so. Any ideas please?.

Your error handling is fine. Using On Error GoTo 0 turns off On Error Resume Next.
I think the issue is the amount of data you're leaving on the clipboard after copy and paste. If you use .copy and .paste always follow that up with Application.CutCopyMode = False
I've created a macro to get data from active workbook, copy it into a new one and save new file. Whole code worked perfect until I changed Office to 365 with Onedrive on my computer.

So basicly I check here if the path and file exists. If not, its created. I save the new workbook for the first time when its formated but before data is copied. Secondly its saved when the data is copied and this second attempt to save workbook fails with error above. Why I was able to overwrite this workbook when I didnt use Onedrive and now, when I do it shows me the error?
I am very new to the macro..
Basically I wanted to copy a row (E23 to H23) from worksheet named "Present month" of one workbook to a column of another worksheet named "ANA" (K4 to K7) in another workbook.
Please help me out!!
Edit1: Code from comment
Sub Copy_and_update_last_col_Census()
Range("K4:K7").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Application.WindowState = xlNormal
'the below line throws error
Windows("NOL_Support_Ticket_Status_Report").Activate
Range("E25:H25").Select
Selection.copy
Windows("Charts.xlsm").Activate
Range("K9").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.copy
Range("K4").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=True
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("K9:N9").Select
Selection.ClearContents
End Sub
This is a tip. Go to the Developers tab -> Record Macro -> do the actions you want -> stop recording and woila press alt + F11 and check out the module.
F8 is your friend and you can see what your recorded macro does!!!
try this:
Sub Copy_and_update_last_col_Census()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim rng2copy As Range, rng2paste As Range
Dim query As Integer
Dim myfile
Dim filename As String
'~~> I assumed that Charts.xlsm is the workbook you are running the macro
Set rng2paste = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("ANA").Range("K4")
filename = "NOL_Support_Ticket_Status_Report.xlsx"
'~~> Handles the error if workbook is not open
On Error Resume Next
Set wb = Workbooks(filename)
'~~> check for error and execute action necessary
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
query = MsgBox("Source workbook not open." & vbNewLine & _
"Do you want to open it?", vbYesNo)
Else
GoTo proceedcopy
End If
If query = 6 Then
myfile = Application.GetOpenFilename(Filefilter:="Excel Files (*.xlsx), *.xlsx")
Else
MsgBox "Exiting now."
Exit Sub
End If
'~~> check if user selected the correct file
If myfile <> False Then
If Dir(myfile) = filename Then
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(myfile)
Else
MsgBox "Wrong file loaded." & vbNewLine & _
"Exiting now."
Exit Sub
End If
Else
MsgBox "No file loaded." & vbNewLine & _
"Exiting now."
Exit Sub
End If
'~~> this do the actual copying
proceedcopy:
Set rng2copy = wb.Sheets("Present Month").Range("E23", "H23")
rng2copy.Copy
rng2paste.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues, , , True
Application.CutCopyMode = False
wb.Close False
End Sub
This is tried and tested.
But i can't say that i've structured it well enough.
So i leave further testing to you.
I have a workbook which performs several Excel-functions that depend on one variable and fills out itself. I have a loop to create those forms and save in a directory but before that I want to copy all and paste special so that formulas will be gone.
Sub SaveAs1()
For i = 172 To 225
Dim SaveName As Integer
SaveName = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("bi1").value
Application.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "C:\" & SaveName
Range("bi1") = i + 1
Next
End Sub
I figure that out finally using trial and error method
Sub Save()
Rem kaydetmece dongusu
For i = 172 To 180 Step 1
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Workbooks.Open Filename:="C:\"
Range("bi1") = i + 1
Dim SaveName As Integer
SaveName = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("bi1").value
Range("A1:BE63").Select
Range("a1").Activate
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "C:\" & SaveName
Columns("BE:BU").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
Sheets("CAL").Select
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Delete
Sheets("sahadan").Select
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Delete
ActiveWorkbook.Close True
Next
End Sub
If you're asking how to paste values, this is how you do it. Replace "A1" with the actual range you need to use.
Range("A1").Copy
Range("A1").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues
