Long time before printing, no new header - vba

I have the following code to print a specific header to each page I want to print. It takes quite some time before I can print because it regenerates over 40 sheets. Above that the project number never changes, somehow the old project number (F6) keeps in front of the new value of F6.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim WS As Worksheet
For Each WS In Worksheets
Application.PrintCommunication = False
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup.LeftHeaderPicture
.Filename = "I:\Logo.png"
.Height = 40
.Width = 150
End With
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.LeftHeader = "&G" & vbCr & "" & vbCr & "&10Project: " & Worksheets(1).Range("F6").Text
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightHeader = "p. "
Application.PrintCommunication = True
Next WS
End Sub

Try this:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim WS As Worksheet
Application.PrintCommunication = False
For Each WS In Worksheets
With WS.PageSetup.LeftHeaderPicture
.Filename = "I:\Logo.png"
.Height = 40
.Width = 150
End With
WS.PageSetup.LeftHeader = "&G" & vbCr & vbCr & _
"&10Project: " & Worksheets(1).Range("F6").Text
WS.PageSetup.RightHeader = "p. "
Next WS
Application.PrintCommunication = True

VLookup from excel workbook on a network drive

Right now I have 8 different textbox controls on a UserForm that when a value is entered a macro runs to open a workbook saved on a network folder then a VLookup is run. Below is the code for two of the TextBox controls and as you can see (due to my lack of coding ability); I ended up with 8 separate subs for each of the text boxes which opens up the workbook on the shared drive after a value is entered in the text box then closes the workbook and is not very efficient. After some research I am thinking of using Index and Match would be a better solution, but have no familiarity with those excel functions in VBA and could use some help with getting a starting point using Index and Match, if that is a better solution. Thank you all for your assistance.

Opening CSV files from textbox

I am developing a user form as you can see below
enter image description here
the code in the Browse Button is
Private Sub Browse_Click()
Dim fName As String
fName = Application.GetOpenFilename("CSV File (*.csv), *.csv", , "Import .CSV File", , False)
If Not fName = "False" Then
TextBox1.Value = fName
End If
End Sub
Next step is to choose some of these options and the code behind it is
Private Sub Start_Click()
Dim Actsheet As String
Dim wkbCrntWorkBook As Workbook
Dim wkbSourceBook As Workbook
Dim rngSourceRange As Range
Dim rngDestination As Range
Set wkbCrntWorkBook = ActiveWorkbook
Set rngDestination = wkbCrntWorkBook.ActiveSheet.Range("A1:A1")
If myBeforeImprovements = True Then
Actsheet = "Before "
ElseIf AfterImprovements = True Then
Actsheet = "After "
Else
MsgBox ("Select Type of Analysis")
Exit Sub
End If
If Westbound = True Then
Actsheet = Actsheet & "WB"
ElseIf Northbound = True Then
Actsheet = Actsheet & "NB"
ElseIf Eastbound = True Then
Actsheet = Actsheet & "EB"
ElseIf Southbound = True Then
Actsheet = Actsheet & "SB"
Else
MsgBox ("Select Traffic Bound")
Exit Sub
End If
my problem is I can't take the CSV file to its write sheet which are
Before EB
Before WB
Before NB
Before SB
After EB
After WB
After NB
After SB
maybe the following code will refer to the selected CSV file but it gives me an error
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=TextBox1.Text + "," + ComboBox1.Value + ".txt", _
DataType:=xlDelimited, Tab:=True
Replace + with & and it'll hopefully work better. The concatenation operator is & in VBA

Workbook becomes corrupted and won't open after macro saves with certain number of sheets

In one excel instance (Instance A), my workbook (Workbook A) performs calculations based on user inputs and creates a worksheet with a chart object. This worksheet is copied and pasted into another workbook (Workbook B), which is closed in Instance A and then opened in a second excel instance (Instance B). Workbook B/Instance B are kept open and in a separate window, as the function of Workbook A/Instance A is to create worksheets to be viewed in Workbook B/Instance B.
So the macro process is: Worksheet is created in Instance A/Workbook A -> Workbook B is closed in Instance B -> Workbook B is opened in Instance A -> worksheet is copied from Workbook A to Workbook B -> Workbook B is saved/closed in Instance A -> Workbook B is opened in Instance B
In the interest of full disclosure, this is the entire sub:

So Workbook A uses this sub to create Workbook B/Instance B and save worksheets to it. The problem is, when Workbook A tries to add the 20th worksheet (sometimes 24th or 23rd but consistently in this area) there is an error in opening Workbook B in Instance B on this line (a couple scrolls up from the bottom) causing the code to break:
newXL.Workbooks.Open FileLocation, UpdateLinks:=False, ReadOnly:=False
Method 'Open' of object 'Workbooks' failed
If I click continue after this error pops up, it completes without an issue, but Workbook B in Instance B is corrupt. Also, if I click the X to close it Excel crashes, and Workbook B is corrupt/unable to open.
The strange thing is, it will always crash after the same number of worksheets are saved (between 20-23 worksheets). Even when I tried closing both workbooks and instances down completely after saving 19 times (just before the expected crash), saving the 20th worksheet still caused a crash.
This only started happening about a month ago, and it occurs on all the computers we have tested it on. We have even tested year old versions of the workbook, that certainly never had this issue, and they all have the same issue.
Please let me know if you can offer any help or need any more detail, any insight is greatly appreciated!
After a lot of work trying to change around the saving/opening process of the workbooks, I managed to figure out the issue. The workbook being saved (Workbook B) contained an ActiveX List Box control object, and after getting rid of it the issue went away. Hopefully this saves somebody the hours it took me to solve it!

The way the code is written, as soon as someone makes a change to the worksheet outside the range A5:AQ155, the Events become disabled without being turned back on, which means subsequent event triggers will not be fired (ie. - the next time you edit a cell).
If you make these slight tweaks in the code it should work as intended going forward.
However, before you do this type Application.EnableEvents = True in the immediate window and hit Enter to turn events back on so that the code begins to fire again.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const sRng As String = "A5:AQ155" ' change as required
Dim sOld As String
Dim sNew As String
Dim sCmt As String
Dim iLen As Long
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(sRng)) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
With Target
sNew = .Value2
Application.Undo
sOld = .Value2
.Value2 = sNew
Application.EnableEvents = True
sCmt = "Edit: " & Format$(Now, "dd Mmm YYYY hh:nn:ss") & " by " & Application.UserName & Chr(10) & "Previous Text :- " & sOld
If .Comment Is Nothing Then
.AddComment
Else
iLen = Len(.Comment.Shape.TextFrame.Characters.Text)
End If
With .Comment.Shape.TextFrame
.AutoSize = True
.Characters(Start:=iLen + 1).Insert IIf(iLen, vbLf, "") & sCmt
End With
End With
End If
End Sub
Here is the final code that got me the desired behavior. I changed the first IF statement according to #Scott Holtzman's comment. The IF statement now resets Application.EnableEvents = True before ending the macro with End Sub
EDIT: Included "Me." in "Me.range(sRng)"
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
'If (Target.Row > 3 And Target.Row < 155) Then Cells(Target.Row, "AT") = Now()
Const sRng As String = "A5:AQ155" ' change as required
Dim sOld As String
Dim sNew As String
Dim sCmt As String
Dim iLen As Long
Dim bHasComment As Boolean
With Target(1)
If Intersect(.Cells, Me.Range(sRng)) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
End If
sNew = .Text
sOld = .Text
.Value = sNew
Application.EnableEvents = True
sCmt = "Edit: " & Format$(Now, "dd Mmm YYYY hh:nn:ss") & " by " & Application.UserName & Chr(10) & "Previous Text :- " & sOld
If Target(1).Comment Is Nothing Then
.AddComment
Else
iLen = Len(.Comment.Shape.TextFrame.Characters.Text)
End If
With .Comment.Shape.TextFrame
.AutoSize = True
.Characters(Start:=iLen + 1).Insert IIf(iLen, vbLf, "") & sCmt
End With
End With
End Sub
Sub Hide_Comments_in_Workbook_Completely()
'This macro hides the comments and comment indicators - users wont know there is a comment within the excel workbook

VBA - List of sheets (hyperlinked)

I have an Excel-Workbook. In this workbook a new sheet is created via VBA.
The more sheets this workbook has the more confusing is it, because I have to scroll a long time to reach any sheet in the middle.
I want to create an overview-sheet
in which the names of the sheets are listed AND
the name of the sheets have to be hyperlinks.
My code doesn't work at all -
BTW, I have to work with Excel 2003
Here's what I have:
Sub GetHyperlinks()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim i As Integer
i = 4
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("overview").Cells(i, 1).Select
For Each ws In Worksheets
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("overwies").Hyperlinks.Add _
Ancor:=Selection, _
Address:="", _
SubAddress:="'ws.name'", _
TextToDisplay:="'ws.name'"
i = i + 1
Next ws
End Sub
Altered your code a bit - this now works:
Sub GetHyperlinks()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim i As Integer
i = 4
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("overview").Hyperlinks.Add _
Anchor:=ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("overview").Cells(i, 1), _
Address:="", _
SubAddress:="'" & ws.Name & "'!A1", _
TextToDisplay:=ws.Name
i = i + 1
Next ws
End Sub
Two methods are used to create the links to the Active Workbook Sheets:
Simple hyperlinks are created for standard Worksheets.
Less commonly used Chart Sheets — and even rarer Dialog Sheets — cannot be hyperlinked. If this code detects a non-Worksheet type, a Sheet BeforeDoubleClick event is programmatically added to the TOC sheet so that these Sheets can still be referenced via a short cut.
Note that (2) requires that macros are enabled for this approach to work.
