Is it possible to still hide Workbooks from the Windows Taskbar in Excel 2013

Because of the introduction of the SDI in Excel 2013 it is no longer possible to select the option to NOT display workbooks in the Taskbar.
This causes a major problem with Excel Applications written in VB or VBA which have multiple workbooks open for various reasons but only wanting the user to have access to one workbook at a time.
Is it possible to still hide these workbooks from the taskbar?
I did request in beta to still have the Application.ShowWindowsInTaskbar still available via VBA, switching to FALSE  for the life of the Excel instant...but that would have been too easy...
Thanks in advance for any help

Thanks Jaynet,
Yes, this is what I also worked out. However hiding the workbook via the .visible = FALSE means you can then no longer reference cells or worksheets via the ActiveCell or ActiveWorkbook objects, which meant a massive re-write to my application. For the benefit
of other developers I then needed to reference my 'Active' Objects via the Set myActiveWorksheet = anActiveWorkSheet.
BTW I have given up suggesting things to Microsoft during any beta releases as they have never taken up any suggestions I have ever made in 13 years of receiving Beta's. My software is the biggest Excel Automation program in the world (I suspect) with over
20 meg of VBA Code. Don't tell me that implementing a simple request of allowing  Application.ShowWindowsInTaskbar
was beyond Microsoft's ability. Application.EnableEvents lasts for the duration of the Excel instant, this could have behaved in exactly the same way.
Unfortunately Microsoft's agenda is to no longer satisfy the customer but the shareholders...I could go on....
Thanks

  • Is there a way to hide apps from the app store? I don't want my kids to see those "free" apps that nag you to spend real money and download their other apps! I can hide them from "purchased apps", but they still show up when browsing for new apps!

    Not other than parental oversight. On the computer you can implement Parental Controls on a separate user account that they would use. You can then block certain websites. But you cannot do that on the iPad.
    You could change your iTunes account such that they cannot access it in order to buy or download apps.

  • Is it possible to retrieve deleted files from the cloud i.e. contact list?

    Is it possible to retrieve deleted files from the cloud i.e. contacts?

    If you have an iCloud backup of an iOS device that was made while the contacts were still on it, you may be able to restore them from the backup by following this user tip from Winston Churchill: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

  • Is it possible to restart a download from the amount downloaded previously?

    Is it possible to restart a download from the amount downloaded previously?
    When I download some lectures from iTunes U, sometimes the link breaks and the download gets interupted.Then when the download is resumed it starts from 0 KB and not from the KB amount that was downloaded when the download was interupted.Is there a way to resume the download from the point it was interrupted?

    Well I'm using 9.0.3.1.5 and I STILL have this same problem.
    Not sure if location is a factor, but I'm a US resident with a US iTunes account but I spend most of my time in Asia and I know a LOT of folks in India, UAE, etc with it. Everything else in iTunes works perfectly fine, except resuming non-purchased downloads.
    On Apple Support I could only find a solution related to Purchased downloads, but not individual unsubscribed podcasts you clicked GET on or free iTunesU content. These still go back to zero with no option to resume only restart.
    I mean, every quality download manager for your web browser gives you a consistent experience in resuming almost any download except very few servers on the Internet with specific policies to not allow resumes. If there is no solution just silence, either this is one of those mysterious come-and-go bugs that are hard to replicate or maybe iTunes is conserving bandwidth by discouraging resumes of free content it doesn't make money on. Especially 100MB+ files from folks in places with reliable but slower "3rd world" connections. So I would with a half bitten lip throw an answer your question as NO, it is not possible.
    I do hope someone who thinks they have a solution steps in to say Yes, it would make a lot of people very happy.

  • Is i possible to trigger a workflow from the creation of an event in iCal

    Is i possible to trigger a workflow from the creation of an event in iCal
    Or is is possible to create a workflow to ad events to an iCal calendar which then triggers the workflow or is combined with the ad events workflow.
    Graeme

    Hmm, nope. Not that I'm aware of. Very few apps allow you to hook scripts directly to user activity. Finder* is a notable exception. iCal's "publish" feature has the ability to auto-update after user activity, but you'll either need dot mac accounts or your own webdav server to get that working.
    I'd re-consider the idea of triggering a periodic workflow with iCal. That way if the computer is shut down or asleep, iCal will wait to run the workflow at its next opportunity. You could hide the unsightly repeating events in a second calendar so they're out of the way.
    The next best thing is to write a faceless AppleScript application with a long-duration idle handler. The user would simply add it to their login items in System Preferences. This would also resume its cycle after sleep or shutdown.
    Yet another option is to write an AppleScript that can register itself in the crontab. This has the advantage of running at a predictable time. If you're careful, you can even set the script to wake up or power on the computer as necessary.
    * Folder action scripts can be triggered when files are created, moved, or deleted, but not when they're merely updated. This probably rules out much of iCal's activities in ~/library/application support/ical/.

  • In iOS 7 you can still make calls from the locked screen. Just swipe the missed call numbers to the right. Is this a bug?

    In iOS 7 you can still make calls from the locked screen. Just swipe the missed call numbers to the right. Is this a bug?

    How is it a security breach? You're free to turn off lock screen notifications for the phone app so that no one can do that.... even if they can, they can only call the number that called you... nothing else. (well, except for 900 or whatever the emergency services number is where you are, but that's required by law).

  • Is it possible to retrieve deleted items from the Pages App please?

    IIs it possible to retrieve deleted items from the Pages App? Thanks

    From within the Pages app, no. If you have an iTunes or iCloud backup that would have contained the file, and you are backing up Pages, it could be received via a restore using that backup (this would wipe out any newer data however).

  • Is it possible to delete a relationship from the BP ?

    Hello experts,
    I'd would like to replace a function partner SH (having the same number as the DO) by another  from R3 to CRM5.
    At the begining i have in R3 this partner
    AG 3901007
    RE 3901007
    RG 3901007
    WE 3901007
    In R3 by the transaction VD02, I replace the partner SH by another
    After the modify i have in R3.
    AG 3901007
    RE 3901007
    RG 3901007
    WE 5000000
    When the replication is done in CRM using BDOC, i can see, by the transaction BP
    the new ship to party partner(5000000) .
    The trouble is :
    When customer access to ISA (standard version) to order product, he can select the partner 3901007 as shipping adress.
    By ISA, he should have the partner 5000000 only.
    Is it standard or is it a sap trouble ?
    Is it possible to delete a relationship from the BP ?
    I don't want to delete the BP partner, i just want to delete the relationship when then BDOC arrive in CRM.
    i have found the oss note 596334 497146 757955 too but it doesn't bring me a solution.
    Best regards
    Christophe

    Hello
    When you delete a Partner Function in R/3 the corresponding relationshipdoesn't get deleted in CRM. This is standard SAP behavior and not a
    bug. Reason for this behavior has been explained in Note 490454.
    You can change this behavior by implementing Note 497146. Also check
    the note 682427 which will help you in clearing old data.

  • Is it possible to reference one cell from the value of another?

    Is it possible to reference one cell from the value of another e.g.
    value of b1 = value of c(value of a1)
    So if a1 = 3 then b1 = c3, if a1 = 5 then b1 = c5.

    Excellent!
    Thanks Wayne. Just saved me many hours and a headache.
    Works like a dream.
    Thank you for your succinct (and accurate) answer.

  • Is it possible to recover deleted files from the Microsoft Word app for iPhone? I am desperate.

    Is it possible to recover deleted files from the Microsoft Word app for iPhone? I am desperate.

    From the Microsoft Word app they say "Access Word documents from OneDrive, Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint" so it sounds like you can specify where they are saved. However, my guess would be that the default will be OneDrive.
    To the OP: Have you tried logging into onedrive.live.com to see if you can see your letter there?

  • Is it possible to show a presentation from the original iPad via wireless on an older projector with no HDMI input?

    is it possible to show a presentation from the original iPad via wireless on an older projector with no HDMI input? If so, what equipment is needed?

    The ipad not support wireless projector yet.
    The workaround is you are using computer that connected wirelessly [needs 2 wireless adapter] / via cable to projector and connected also to the wireless router.
    You are controlling the computer via wireless connected to the router using remote desktop app like splashtop, teamviewer, logmein, vnc, etc. You must set the remote desktop port and app at the computer too as ipad app support.

  • Is it possible to only install Color from the FCS3 suite?

    Is it possible to only install Color from the FCS3 suite? If so, what is the correct procedure?
    thanks

    I'm not sure whether you can install it on its own or whether you will need FCP as well.
    Open the installer, go through it and you will come to a page where every app and its media is listed.
    Deselect everything except Color and continue with the installation.
    If it refuses you will have to go back and select FCP as well.
