Visual basic editor tools references

In the below example, I have docked it just below the Project Explorer. Properties window allows us to change the properties of a selected object. For example, if I want to make a worksheet hidden or very hidden , I can do that by changing the Visible Property of the selected worksheet object.

There is a code window for each object that is listed in the Project Explorer. You can open the code window for an object by double-clicking on it in the Project Explorer area. When you record a macro, the code for it goes into the code window of a module. Excel automatically inserts a module to place the code in it when recording a macro.

The Immediate window is mostly used when debugging code. One way I use the Immediate window is by using a Print. Debug statement within the code and then run the code. It helps me to debug the code and determine where my code gets stuck. If I get the result of Print. Debug in the immediate window, I know the code worked at least till that line. By default, the immediate window is not visible in the VB Editor. Let me first quickly clear the difference between adding a code in a module vs adding a code in an object code window.

For example, if you want to unhide all the worksheets in a workbook as soon as you open that workbook, then the code would go in the ThisWorkbook object which represents the workbook. Similarly, if you want to protect a worksheet as soon as some other worksheet is activated, the code for that would go in the worksheet code window. These triggers are called events and you can associate a code to be executed when an event occurs. On the contrary, the code in the module needs to be executed either manually or it can be called from other subroutines as well.

When you record a macro, Excel automatically creates a module and inserts the recorded macro code in it. Now if you have to run this code, you need to manually execute the macro. While recording a macro automatically creates a module and inserts the code in it, there are some limitations when using a macro recorder. For example, it can not use loops or If Then Else conditions.

This would instantly create a folder called Module and insert an object called Module 1. If you already have a module inserted, the above steps would insert another module. Once the module is inserted, you can double click on the module object in the Project Explorer and it will open the code window for it. Note: You can export a module before removing it. It gets saved as a. When it opens, you can enter the code manually or copy-paste the code from other modules or from the internet.

Correct, if I click it in another book its fine, but the one with the issue just does nothing — BH I have the same problem — Sergey Dirin. I have only seen this when a Macro was still running but I scrolled away to look at something else, then I forgot about the Macro still running In your case it is not disabled, is it?

The following functions can be used to control the Solver add-in from VBA. Each function corresponds to an action that you can perform interactively, through the Solver Parameters , Solver Options , and Solver Results dialog boxes of the Solver add-in.
