Missing Excel Macro - Didn't save as .xlsm

So I realized that I didn't save my file as a macro-enabled workbook before I closed it, and now my macro is completely gone. I haven't shut down the computer since then, and I was wondering if it was still in my computer in a temporary folder
somewhere. I already tried going to the PERSONAL in C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART and I didn't not find anything there. Is there anything I can do now, or is that baby gone? This is Excel 2010
That baby is gone. :(

'Edit in Place' for XLSM-files (Excel Macro-Enabled)

Hi,
is it possible to activate 'Edit in Place' for xlsm-files (Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook file)?
For xls(x)-files there is the link 'Edit This File', but not for files of type 'xlsm' allthough they could be dealt the same way with Excel.
I know I can edit this files using the 'Add-in for MS Office' and via the 'Vibe Desktop', but it would be nice to deal them like other Excel-files.
thx
Martin

Append ".xlsm" for the variable edit.in.place.file.applet.extensions, edit.in.place.file.webdav.extensions
Hi Martin,
Yeah, the Vibe docs can help on occasion
Still, thanks for feeding it back to the forums as it can be quicker finding a hit in the forums than having to go through the docs!

Excel Macro screen update

Hello,
I'm using the above approach to connect to SAP in order to upload data from excel to SAP R/3 transaction.
Myquestions is there exist away to prevent the screen flickering from EXCEL to SAP during the macro processing , tried to the statement at the excel macro :   Application.ScreenUpdating =FALSE which didn't worked.
In other words my requirement is not see SAP screen at all during the macro processing.
If Not IsObject(SAPguiApp) Then
    Set SAPguiApp = CreateObject("Sapgui.ScriptingCtrl.1")
End If
If Not IsObject(Connection) Then
    Set Connection = SAPguiApp.OpenConnection("SYSTEM", True)
End If
If Not IsObject(Session) Then
    Set Session = Connection.Children(0)
End If
Session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/txtRSYST-MANDT").Text = "CLIENT"
Session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/txtRSYST-BNAME").Text = "USER"
Session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/pwdRSYST-BCODE").Text = "PASSWORD"
Session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/txtRSYST-LANGU").Text = "EN"
Session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/txtRSYST-LANGU").SetFocus
Session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/txtRSYST-LANGU").caretPosition = 2
Session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey 0
'Here follows the recorded VBScript . . .

Hi Mark, welcome to the forum.
I'd test it with session.findById("wnd [0]"). iconify.
And I would eliminate the command session.findById("wnd [0]").maximize.

Excel encountered errors during save. however excel was able to minimally save your file to C:\...

Error: Excel encountered errors during save. However, Excel was able to minimally save your file to c:\users\*****\appdata\roaming\microsoft\excel\***.xlsb.
Basically, these are multiple macro enabled spreadsheets from one client. It happens with no other clients who also use macros. They are all saved to our network, which has plenty of space. Any of our users that access these files have the same issue.

Hi
Take following steps to troubleshoot the issue:
Check the Macro and File Blocker settings in the Trust Center.(File>Option>Trust center>Trust center settings)
Then we suggest to perform a clean startup to determine whether background programs are interfering with your Office program.

It is recommended that you disable Antivirus application while checking the issue.

Need Script/Excel Macro for Deletion of Bulk users from Enterprise BO 3.1

Hello All,
I am planning to delete the Bulk Users (2500) from environment, I need a script or Excel Macro to perform it in my environment.
Please someone provide the JSP script or Excel Macro to perform the activity. Thank you so much in advance.
Thanks,
Srikanth Y

You should have the list of inactive users.Right?
It will always read the usernames from the txt file which will be entered by you and delete those user accounts.
You would need to save the attached sample as .jsp and can place it inside InfoViewApp application.
Also it would be best to test the code in a DEV/TEST environment before you actually try to touch your prod systems.
Try for few user accounts first and check the status.
Also it would be apt to take a back of your CMS DB before you run any script so that you can rollback to a save point.
Thanks,
Prithvi

Printing to Adobe PDF repeatedly from Excel macro causes Adobe PDF to ignore preferences

I have an Excel macro that uses Acrobat's virtual "Adobe PDF" printer to save each sheet of an Excel spreadsheet to a separate PDF file. To do this, I have set up the PDF printer to save automatically to the folder C:\PDF without prompting and not to open each PDF file after it is created. These preferences are respected when the macro prints the first sheet, but when it prints the second and third sheets, the PDF printer starts displaying its "Save As" dialog again and opening each PDF file after it is created. When I go back to the printer preferences after the macro finishes, the preferences that I set are still there, and if I run the macro again I get exactly the same behavior. This behavior is problematic because the macro expects each PDF file to be saved to a predictable location so that it can rename them. Side note: this print-then-rename technique works fine when I use the open source PDFCreator program instead of Acrobat. (Hello, Adobe?)

Use the settings in the Acrobat Distiller API Reference. You can find this document in the Acrobat SDK.

ALV Excel View - how to save the excel sheet

Hi,
i've a colored ALV, when the user is choosing the excel button from the ALV menu bar the alv is shown as an excel. But: the sace button in the upper left corner has now a mouse-over text named "update" and the file tab is missing.- So how can he save this now as an excel sheet? We are using excel 2010. Saving as spreadsheet is not an option cause all colors are lost.

We have had this same issue since we upgraded to EXCEL-10.
Here is what I came up with.
First, open a new EXCEL spreadsheet from the PC (not from within the SAP application)
Select the “Customize Quick Access Toolbar”, then select “More Commands”
Under the “Popular Commands” select “Save As” and press the “Add” button.
Then the “OK” button
You should now see the “Save As” button in the upper left hand corner of the screen (with the Save, Undo and Redo buttons.)
When you display the next SAP report as EXCEL, you should have access to this button.

Are excel-macros running on IPad?

Instead of carrying my laptop, i would like to use an iPad.
I am using excel sheets with integrated macros.
Are these macros running on the iPad?
If yes, which app i have to use?
Thank you for your help
Chris

I've not seen any of the apps that can import Excel documents that can handle Excel macros, though it's possible I might have missed something. I rather doubt it, though, since macros depend on Microsoft's proprietary Visual Basic.

Running Excel macros from ABAP

While doing some research on help.sap.com I came across the method execute_macro in class i_oi_document_proxy. Ive never used methods in ABAP before and Im not really sure what Im doing.

Hi,
Please correct me if I am wrong but it seems that you have not fetched a handle to the document object before issuing the statement CALL METHOD document->execute_macro. Hence the error OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED is being dislayed. If you want to use SAP Desktop Office Integration using ABAP Objects, take a look at this article at http://www.intelligenterp.com/feature/archive/ or http://www.sapinfo.net/public/en/index.php4/article/comvArticle-193333c63b4bd807d2/en/articleStatistic
Hope this helps.

I have been dragging my files to a external drive to have a back-up for them and I lost some of my folders. They just went completely missing. I didn't delete them, and it was all stuff that I have worked on in the past month. How do I get them back?

You really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system. These can automatically back up only what's changed since the previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX. You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
#27 in the second link mentions some alternatives, too.

Thanks!!
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Excel 2010 - Can't Save File Becasue It's Opened By Another User

Hi All,
I'm using excel 2010, I can create an excel doc, update it, save it on the network, then close it. Then go out of the folder its saved in, go back in and open the file but it flags up as read only as its 'opened by another user'.
I can confirm 100% that no one else has this file open.
This affects multiple users, I have a feeling this may be caused by an update but don't have anything solid to back that theory up.
All users who have this problem are running windows 7 Pro machines, all domain joined.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Hi,
Please try the following methods:
Methods1:
Turn off the Details Pane shown at the bottom of Windows Explorer. Go to Organize -> Layout -> Details Pane. That fixes the first problem.
Turn off “Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items” Click on Tools -> Folder Options. In the box that opens up, click on the View tab. Scroll down the list to “Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items” and clear
the checkbox and then click OK. This fixes the second problem.
Turn off Preview Pane. Go to Organize -> Layout -> Preview Pane. This fixes number 3.
Methods2:
Add the following registry keys:
Key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{993BE281-6695-4BA5-8A2A-7AACBFAAB69E}
Name: EnableShareDenyNone
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{993BE281-6695-4BA5-8A2A-7AACBFAAB69E}
Name: EnableShareDenyNone
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1

Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of clicking the button save I clicked the delete button at the end. Is there any way to recover it?

Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of saving the doc I clicked the delete button. Is there any way to recover it?

Regardless of application, the first step that I take is to save and name the current document — even if it has no content yet. With Pages, this good habit enables autosave. As you add content, your document revision history is restorable via the File Revert To menu. The delete key has the same document foreboding as only teaching a pet raven to speak "Nevermore."
