SheetName (Application.Caller.Parent.Name) Forces Excel to Save File
I have a VBA function in Excel that I have been using for years that will display the sheet name in a cell. The VBA function is as follows: Function SheetName() As String Application.Volatile SheetName = Application.Caller.Parent.Name End Function This works great. However, I have found that if I am using this function if I open a worksheet and not change anything Excel will prompt me if I want to save the worksheet if I have not made any changes. Why is this happening and is there a way to prevent this from happening? Thanks, Mike

GarysStudentYou could just use a worksheet function
=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))+1,99)

Won't this suffer the same volatility problem?

petersodDang. If I remove that applicaiton.volatile it is not updating. I guess that I will stay with the function.

I'll consider that. It is just not as friendly as the SheetName function
that I have written up.

Silent Failure of Applications

How create a manifest for a VC++ 5 application?

How do I control the preferences on inserting a word file
When I past one word file into another word file the font and spacing changes and it doesn't appear to be consistent with either document.

Excel 2007: Missing drop-down buttons in Pivot Charts?
Dear all, when creating a pivot chart from a pivot table, there appears only a very basic chart. What is basically missing are the drop-down buttons in which one can select the variables to display. In addition drag-and-drop within the table does not work any longer (not surprising, as the buttons are missing), but it does not work any longer as well from the variable list. All configuration is now done via the "PivotCart Filter Pane". However, this filter pane is very unfortunate, since it does not display the names of the variables in the diagram any longer. So, if you have...

Can I place a shortcut icon to the Excel Help menu on my desktop? If so, how? (Perhaps, Excel must be opened for this to work?) Thanks, FLKulchar Just browse to the Excel help file. Its name and location will vary depending on your version but in Excel 2003 its name is XLMAIN11.CHM and it's in the OFFICE11\1033 folder (for English language versions). -- Jim "F.

Excel 2007: Missing drop-down buttons in Pivot Charts?
Dear all, when creating a pivot chart from a pivot table, there appears only a very basic chart. What is basically missing are the drop-down buttons in which one can select the variables to display. In addition drag-and-drop within the table does not work any longer (not surprising, as the buttons are missing), but it does not work any longer as well from the variable list. All configuration is now done via the "PivotCart Filter Pane". However, this filter pane is very unfortunate, since it does not display the names of the variables in the diagram any longer. So, if you have...
multiple users with same domain logon name
We have 2 active users with the same domain logon name (not sure how we were able to do this as I can't repeat in non-production environments). I can't disable one and leave the other active as when I do that and the users tries to logon they get access denied. I can't change the domain logon name as that is not an editable field. Any ideas on how I can get these 2 user to just one active user? Each "account" object in AD has a unique set of object attributes. Even though it has the same "Name". If you create an account and then delete it and create the...

Calling Excel from Word with parameters
Hi. I'm posting this here after not having had a reply in the Office_Developer>Automation forum for 4 days. I need to call Excel from within Word with parameters. Can you help with the syntax for the call and where (and how) I should declare and therefore "receive" and handle these parameters in Excel??? Is there a default auto start procedure which accepts parameters? Please specify the call with 3 parameters : 1 text/string, 1 numeric (integer) and 1 date. Thanks in advance I saw Ann Troy's response further down in the list, so I guess that the Workbook_Open pr...

saving a record
I'm aware of two ways to save a record when you want to force a save with VBA: 1. If Me.Dirty Then DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord and 2. If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False Are they both equivalent, or is one better than the other? Thanks in advance, Paul RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord saves the record in the active form (whichever that is.) Me.Dirty = False is explicit about which form's record to save, so it's more reliable if multiple forms happen to be open. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.
