SaveAsUI is set True if there is a change in the workbook (not in VBA). Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) This event triggers when before the workbook is saved. The Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) Event
#EXCEL VBA ON CLOSE WORKBOOK EVENT CODE#
The below code will ask you if you want to save the content of the about-to -close workbook.Īns = MsgBox("Do you want to save the content of this workbook?", vbYesNo)Ħ. The Cancel can be set to true if you want to keep the workbook open. Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel as Boolean) This event triggers when you confirm the deletion of the VBA event containing sheet. The below example Workbook_Deativate event will simply pop up a message that you have left the master sheet, when you will leave this sheet. In other words, if you want to do something, like hiding sheets or anything when you switch workbook, use this VBA event. This event triggers when leaving the code containing workbook. The below example Workbook_Open event will simply pop up a welcome message, when you open the code containing workbook. Unlike Workbook_Activate() this code runs only once, not when every time it is activated. This workbook event is runs as soon as the workbook is opened.
#EXCEL VBA ON CLOSE WORKBOOK EVENT HOW TO#
This one of the most asked question that how to run a macro as soon as the workbook opens. MsgBox "You are on workbook " & Activeworkbook.NameĪs soon as you will come on the workbook that contains this code, the event will run and will be shown a message that "You are on workbook name" (sheet2 is in my case).

This will target only the cell A1 on every sheet since we have not specified the "sh" object. In that case, we use the workbook_sheetchange event.
