Hi friends I have learnt about excel macros by trial and error method and now I have a moderate knowledge to write macros with which I am able to write small usable excel applications.
Lately I have written a macro which can extract financial data from an accounting software (Tally) and prepare some of the financial statements (in a format required by law with related computations and disclosures). But because of my limited knowledge about VB, I am not able to add some features to that workbook which I really want to add!! Any help relating to the following will be highly appreciated: 1) Force user to enable Macros: I have already done this to some extent by using this trick: a) While closing the workbook, I hide all the sheets except one which contains instructions for the user about how to enable the macros. b) When the user opens the workbook with macros disabled, he will see that page, otherwise the normal sheets will become visible programmatically and the sheet containing the instructions will be hidden. Problem I am having here is how I can prevent the user from entering the DESIGN MODE before he saves and closes the workbook?? You can guess what will happen if he does that! 2) How to make the VBA project unviewable (not just locking for viewing, I want to disable the VB editor itself if possible) 3) My workbook will necessarily make some entries to the system registry as I plan to disable saving any changes to that workbook. I want to know when there can be a risk of loosing the data on the registry. Loosing that data may be fatal to some of the functions of my workbook. Would it be a better option to save the data in a text file rather than on the registry? Thanks in advance friends :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
