Update Style in non-active workbook
Hi all,
In a non-active workbook, if I programmatically change the "Normal" style, returning changed properties are as expected. However if I now make that wb active nothing has changed. Ie the Normal style is as was. If I save/reopen that workbook, the Normal style remains as original. However returning style properties are NOT, reflecting changes I previously applied. Ie it's no longer possible to confidently return Style properties in this wb, whether or not active. I also notice when making changes to the non active workbook, changes are actually made to the active workbook!! To demonstrate the problem, I manually set Normal Font Style to Tahoma in two workbooks. When done I find the active wb has changed but no changes in what was the non-active wb. Following assumes Book1.xls will be non-active. Sub ChangeStyle() Dim sAct1$, sAct2$, sNon1$, sNon2$ Dim wbNon As Workbook Set wbNon = Workbooks("Book1.xls") 'ensure not active sAct1 = ActiveWorkbook.Styles("Normal").Font.Name With wbNon.Styles("Normal").Font sNon1 = .Name 'returns Active-wb property .Name = IIf(sNon1 = "Verdana", "Arial", "Verdana") sNon2 = .Name End With sAct2 = ActiveWorkbook.Styles("Normal").Font.Name Debug.Print sNon1$, sNon2$, wbNon.Name Debug.Print sAct1$, sAct2$, ActiveWorkbook.Name Debug.Print End Sub How to change Style in non-active workbook without making it active?
