How can I invert this problem, I didn't touch the code but I don't know maybe while saving the file. I can't open any files anymore because it keeps opening the same macro.
Thank you for your help
The macro is likely stored in your personal workbook. Personal workbooks open every time you open excel which would explain why it looks like this macro is "haunting you from the dead".

We have a system that creates files that are imported into Oracle. The files have the naming convention...
Filename.0000
Where the numbers are incremented with each export. So one file might be filename.4357 and the next file will be filename.4358.
I have managed to import the file into a spreadsheet as a comma delimited file where I then carry out some cleansing of the file.
I then want to save the file back to this unusual type .0000 but I can only seem to save it as Excel, CSV, TXT, PDF etc.
Does anyone have any ideas ? Thank you in advance.
Nothing yet
Save the file as a txt file and close it. Then rename it in Windows Explorer.
You can also do that with VBA. Use the NAME command to rename it to a file name with the desired extension.

My file has been saved at a particular path with a name Ankit1.xls. It has macro coding and is working fine. But my question is that whenever I change the file name the macro doesn't work. I need to change the path in coding wherever needed. Please can someone help me in coding in such a way that whenever I change the file name the macro will automatically change the path and does not give me the error.
Thanks
Ankit
I guess you are looking for
ThisWorkbook.Name
or
ThisWorkbook.Path
Use Thisworkbook object in order to access data from Ankit1.xls file without changing the hardcoded constant that represents the workbook name.
Additionally you can code prior to this to check that the correct workbook has been opened.

I have a set of custom formats that I would like to use in any new Excel files that I create.
I found this approach, Save cell styles to use in all new workbooks, but it relies on using a template which I cant use as I am using a cloud server so I don't have access to the XLSTART folder.
Using code is fine if I must, but I don't have experience in this space.
I understand that I may be able to create an Excel addin to hold the formats, and create a new workbook from that. Is this addin the way to go?
Please help!
Is this a desktop Excel program? If so, you might try adding another custom startup folder. (Depending on version it might be different, in 2013: Excel Options - Advanced - General - At startup, open all files in:.) Now if you put a file here, it will auto-open on Excel startup, just like the files in the XLSTART folder.
(But to be honest, I don't see how this will help you, since XLSTART - or any automatic startup folder - is useful if you want macros available. I'm not sure about templates.)

Excuse me if this post is not related to this forum, but I couldn't find any other place to ask my question. It would be appreciated if you introduce me a suitable place for this post.
By the way, I am trying to download all the subtitles from Opensubtitles.org in a specific language (say English) and find their translations in another language (say Arabic). I tried wget, but I couldn't download anything useful from this site. (I need .srt, .zip and .txt files)
Can everyone help me?
Bests.
Downloading everything individually will put an unnessesary load on their servers. Better use something like http://opus.lingfil.uu.se/OpenSubtitles.php
The download link is something like:
http://dl.opensubtitles.org/en/download/sub/4617044
Where 4617044 is the ID of the subtitle. You can use this URL with wget to download it, but it won't have the correct filename.
Alternatively, you can use the XML-RPC api to search and download subtitles.

An excel file exists on a network that can be accessed by several users.
However, after some investigation it was found that some users open the file as read-only.
I'm opening the file with VBA and workBook.Open(). This routine has a read-only property, but even explicitly sending this parameter as false, the file still opens as read only. When users who experienced this bug were asked to open the file straight from the network, the file opens as read only, despite being fine for other users. Additionally, permission rights to the folder has been ruled out as the cause.
Does macro security prevent a file from being opened normally? What else can cause a file to open as read-only?
More Details:
Windows 7
Excel 2007
.xls File Type
In Save As options/Tools/general Options ,there is a read-only recommended option, it can be.
