I am trying to monitor a sheet which has several text boxes on it.
The idea behind it is the user enters text into these boxes and then you can click the submit button to send it all to a sql database.
Now I want to have it so if the user has made changes, and they go to leave the sheet a macro is triggered to tell them that they haven't saved it.
I've already got this triggering on the deactivate worksheet event, but I was wondering if I can monitor all of the textboxes on the sheet (oleobjects) under one change event
I am already assuming this isn't possible with just one but was hoping.
Thanks in advance

One way to do this would be to write a separate subroutine that is called within the Change event of all the Textboxes. Keep in mind though that this will be raised every time the Textboxes change at all- every keystroke.
In each TextBox_Change Event:
Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
TextChanged TextBox1
End Sub
New subroutine:
Sub TextChanged(fromTextBox As TextBox)
'validation code goes here
End Sub

I want to call/ activate a button at the end of a Sub. I know the cell address of the command button, but I don't know the name/ID of the button.
How do I select/activate the button without looping through each button on active sheet?
https://stackoverflow.com/a/30600479/13049793
I have created my buttons on multiple rows with each assigned to the same macro, from my understanding, I cannot call the macro the button is assigned to because the macro uses the button's relative position, below is a simple example to illustrate the use of the buttons relative position:
Sub ExampleButtonClick()
Dim Cellvalue As String
Cellvalue = ActiveSheet.Buttons(Application.Caller).TopLeftCell.Offset(0, -1).Value
Msgbox (Cellvalue)
End Sub
i assume you want to run one macro that at the end initiates a different macro, i also assume the reason the button is rather not as a sub that is just called is because it has its independent function that can be used without the other sub
assuming that you used a command button as an activeX control, why not just use a private sub that the button performs and place that in an individual module and at the end of your current sub;
call module1 'assuming the private sub exists in module 1
or rather include the code even if duplicated in the first sub, searching for a button seems the circular route unless there is another intention you wish to pursue.
maybe elaborate on the task at hand or post the current code you are working on?
I have an Index/Match Code to Display a Description of an Item by changing the Label when a Value is Entered in a Texbox , usually the way i do it is put the code on the
Texbox_Change()
....Code here
End Sub
but now i have a lot of textboxes and i don't want to write this code one by one
so i tried to put my code on the 'UserForm_Initialize()' but this only runs only once. and i was wandering if there was a way i could create a SUB that Monitors Textbox Changes for all of the Textbox's in my user form.
How do I keep the values that where inputted into the excel Userform from clearing itself out once I click on the finish button? So whenever I call upon the Userform through a Commandbutton the previously filled field information is left the way it is and not to be cleared basically.
This Userform consist of MultiPage which is designed to take in the inputs from the user and place them in excel cells once the user has hit the finish button. Within the Userform contains Commandbuttons which toggles an hide/unhide feature which will also have to be saved somewhere
The Finish page (where the user will close/exit the page) looks like this:
Code for the finish button so far:
I'm not sure why everyone is saying there is no way to do this - you should be able to use:
Private Sub BtnFinish_Click()
Me.Hide
End Sub
And all previous values will be kept. Someone correct me if I'm wrong :).
I should add that once the EXCEL.EXE is closed, the values are lost.
I'm a new VBA user. I have a workbook with multiple worksheets. Each one has it own userform for data entry. The userform shows when I click on the sheet. After I'm done entering data, the worksheet is populated and the userform closes (unload). All this works well. However, after the initial data entry is complete, the goal is to use the data on the worksheets for other applications and the userform is no longer needed. What is the code or the terminology to say the userform should not reappear again when the worksheet is clicked on? Currently, I red X out of the userform. If I click the command button to close, it repopulates and I lose all my data.
Thanks!
As A.S.H commented; you could store the information in a number of ways. An easy example is declaring a variable outside of the Macro:
Public FormOpened as boolean
And then set FormOpened as true once the form has been shown. Then you could add a check to the start of the mouse-click macro:
If FormOpened = True then Exit sub
I have a code which processes an excel sheet row by row.
Under certain conditions, certain manual manipulations are to be done on the data in the rows. For this, the program fires a UserForm. The UserForm contains certain fields which are populated from the underlying excel rows. These fields are then manipulated by the user and certain buttons on the userform are clicked. Once the manual processing is done, the program then needs to proceed with the rest of the rows in the Excel sheet. When the UserForm is triggered, before taking action on the USERFORM, user needs to to see
a) What is pushed up in the UserForm
b) Contents of the Underlying Excel Sheet
The program needs to wait till the user takes action
However, there seems to be no easy way to let the user see the underlying rows as the Userform (on top) prevents access to the Excel Sheet below. To allow access to the Excel Worksheets, I tried using
UserForm.Show vbModeless
UserForm.Show False
Both of these are totally bypassing the Userform and the program runs for the remaining rows without waiting for the user input.
I researched here and found this.
deactivate Excel VBA userform
In my Case, the MainProgram calls the UserForm and has to wait for the user input in the USERFORM before processing further rows. If the conditions triggering the userform are not met, the program proceeds to the next rows.
Help highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
As a workaround I have written a line to select the cell where the manual intervention is triggered. This brings that cell right under the manual intervention UserForm. The UserForm can now be moved around to look at what is below.
How about adding a de-activate Button to your form using this script:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
UserForm1.Hide
MsgBox "hit OK to continue", vbOKOnly, "Script Paused"
UserForm1.Show
End Sub
