Dave, I have not tried your vba as yet but will do some time today - I
must thank you for your time in writing the code as sometimes I can
understand that you are guessing what others have already written. As
at this moment in time my current code for "ThisWorkboo" is:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.EnableEvents = True
Run "DisableCut"
Run "Find_Disable_Commands"
Run "DisableMoveorCopy"
UnhideSheets
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As
Boolean)
Sheets("Access").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="Somethinginthisarea"
Range("E9

9").Select
Selection.ClearContents
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="Somethinginthisarea"
'sourced from Nick Hodge's post at
http://www.adras.com/VBA-Excel-File-SaveAs.t469-5.html
'to stop it going into an endless "before save" loop by stopping _
Excel from "seeing" the save events in this macro.
Application.EnableEvents = False 'press F9 on this line
'Creating variables for use later
Dim FilePath As String
Dim NewFileName As String
Dim CurrentFileName As String
'to stop file saving (effectively telling Excel that you pressed a
cancel button)
Cancel = True
'to check how file was being saved & save as you want it to save.
Select Case SaveAsUI
Case False
ThisWorkbook.Save
Case True
'to identify variables
FilePath = ThisWorkbook.Path
NewFileName = "Book1 - Old.xls" '*
CurrentFileName = ThisWorkbook.name
'to save a copy & inform user.
ActiveWorkbook.SaveCopyAs FilePath & "\" & NewFileName '*
MsgBox "A copy of """ & CurrentFileName & """" & " is now saved, in
the same directory, as """ & NewFileName & """."
End Select
'to reset Excel's ability to "see" events such as save
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Run "EnableCut"
Run "Find_Enable_Commands"
Run "EnableMoveorCopy"
HideSheets
End Sub
Private Sub HideSheets()
Dim sht As Object
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Information").Visible = xlSheetVisible
For Each sht In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
If sht.name <> "Information" Then sht.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Next sht
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = False
ThisWorkbook.Save
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
Private Sub UnhideSheets()
Dim sht As Object
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each sht In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
sht.Visible = xlSheetVisible
Next sht
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Information").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
As you can see, there is another piece of code that when you press
"SaveAs" creates a backup of the file automatically for you. I kept
getting loops when saving - the reason for my original query - The
getmacaddress code is below - it simply looks at your PC's MAC address
and displays it.
