Workbooks w macros showing as "locked for editing by"
Hi All - Really cannot say for sure what is happening here. I have a pretty robust 6500 line macro in Excel VBA. It's worked for years; a very tight Excel VBA app that has been thoroughly tested. No other add-ins. No forms. Takes data from one sheet, and produces bar charts essentially in another sheet. No graphical objects, just formats cells and stuff. I had a SelfCert certificate attached to it. I removed the certificate so I could edit the macro in development mode recently. Other workbooks in the same folder I am working are giving "locked for editing by" messages when I try to open them. Some of the workbooks I have opened while I was editing my robust macro in the VBE. Some of the workbooks I launched by "enabling macros" while I was in the VBE editing the robust macro. Some of the workbooks I have actually physically changed the file name of, and then when opening for the first time with the new file name, I get the message. I was having this problem this afternoon, changed the name of my working folder. Rebooted, and seemed fine. Changed the folder name back, still seemed fine. Did some hours after drinks tonight, and the problem is back. Now, functionally speaking, if I get my robust XL app, or any of the others I am referencing while developing, to open properly, everything works as expected. No functional flaws at all. Just XL thinks the file and some of its friends are open when they are not. Only system change was MS security updates for January that came in last week or so, and the McAfee ones that came right behind it. Any ideas? |

hi,
Maybe you can try by Logon computer with another user name. Or reset your current user profile by creating new one. -- Regards, Halim "MeistersingerVonNurnberg" wrote: Hi All - Really cannot say for sure what is happening here.

Hi - THanks.
Well, it is a remote machine, so logging on/off as someone else may not yield the desired effect. In another twist - so, I finished editing the robust macro, and closed XL all the way down. I copied the file. I re-opened the file, enabling macros. Everything fine. I delete the file. It goes to the Recycle bin. I try to clear the recycle bin. Won't delete the copied robust macro file. Give message "Cannot delete Dc6: It is being used by another person or program" Does this whole mess maybe have something to do with the certificate I removed from the XL VBA Project? Again, still no answer on this one. Thanks all... "Halim" wrote: hi, Maybe you can try by Logon computer with another user name.

Hi All -
I'm choking this one up to a corrupted recycle bin, likely caused by my new POG WD 250 HD. Basically for now, turned off the recycle bin, manually deleted INFO2 from each of the recycle bin folders, rebooted a few times in between, and finally cleared the recycle bin of everything. I believe my Excel VBA development just happened to coincide with the recycle bin problem. Any thoughts to the contrary are appreciated. -thnx "MeistersingerVonNurnberg" wrote: Hi - THanks.
