The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Save a copy of a workbook without the macros

Asked by cdrom1 in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: , ,

Experts,

I have a workbook with a Workbook_Open event which imports some textfiles, then saves and quit.
This is run automatically once a day. I need to make a copy of the workbook which will be downloaded from my server by various people. Obviously I can't give them them a file with the macro active as it would never stay open.

What's the best approach to fix this?Start Free Trial

Here is some of the macro (the rest is just more file imports):
 
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("engine_detail_duelist").Select
    Cells.Select
    Selection.ClearContents
    Range("A1").Select
    Selection.QueryTable.Delete
    
    With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
        "TEXT;C:\engine\engine_detail_duelist.txt", Destination:=Range("A1"))
        .Name = "engine_detail_duelist"
        .FieldNames = True
        .RowNumbers = False
        .FillAdjacentFormulas = False
        .PreserveFormatting = True
        .RefreshOnFileOpen = False
        .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
        .SavePassword = False
        .SaveData = True
        .AdjustColumnWidth = True
        .RefreshPeriod = 0
        .TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
        .TextFilePlatform = 437
        .TextFileStartRow = 1
        .TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
        .TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
        .TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
        .TextFileTabDelimiter = True
        .TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = True
        .TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
        .TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
        .TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
        .TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
        .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
      End With
      
      Sheets("aircraft_flighthours").Select
      Range("A1").Select
      Application.ScreenUpdating = True
            
      Application.Quit
      ThisWorkbook.Close savechanges:=True
End Sub
