VBA code to remind the Excel sheet user to run the Macro
- May 28, 2021
You have copied the code into the code module of the CJ Design and Addl Composite Stage Loads sheets instead of into the ThisWorkbook module.
The following will work if the workbook only prompts to be saved when it is closed if the user has changed something.
Press Alt+F11 to activate the Visual Basic Editor.
Double-click ThisWorkbook under Microsoft Excel Objects.
Copy the following code into the ThisWorkbook module:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
If Not Me.Saved Then
Select Case MsgBox("Do you want to run the design macro now?", vbQuestion + vbYesNoCancel)
Case vbYes
Call DesignMacro
Case vbNo
' Just continue
Case vbCancel
Cancel = True
End Select
End If
End Sub
where DesignMacro is the name of the macro that should be run.
Hello Hans,
I tried it but I am not sure what I am doing wrong. The design Macro is called
"Calculate_Studs_CP". So if a user make any changes in "CJ Design" or "Addl Composite Stage Loads" tabs, and the user wants to save or exit to prompt him to run "Calculate_Studs_CP". Please see attached sheet.
Thanks,
Sam
