application.run on new sheets created

[J.W. Aldridge]

I have several macros that need to be run on each new sheet created.
Maybe I'm thinking too simple, but tried this and not working....

Private Sub Workbook_NewSheet(ByVal sh As Object)
Application.Run "apples"
Application.Run "oranges"
End Sub

Application.Run("apples")

Disregard........works either way for me.

Where are the macros located?

Maybe you need to qualify the workbook?

Application.Run ("MyMacros.xla!apples")

macros are located in the same workbook.
still not firing.
i actually have 3 macros / procedures i need to fire on the creation
of a new worksheet.
just can't seem to get them to fire.

 

[Dave Peterson]

Did you put the code in the ThisWorkbook module?

Did you allow macros to run when you opened the workbook?

Did you turn events off and fail to turn them back on.
application.enableevents = true 'false
is the line you'd search for.

And if your macros are in the same workbook module (in General modules,
right????), you could use Call instead of application.run:

Private Sub Workbook_NewSheet(ByVal sh As Object)
Call apples
Call oranges
End Sub

thanx...
checked all of the above. also changed to call - nada.
any other suggestions to try?

Two things come to mind, one simple, one strange:

First, are you sure events are firing at all? A lot of times I forget that
I stopped some code after a "Application.EnableEvents = False" and then get
frustrated when stuff doesn't run.

Second, I discovered that using the "Insert/Worksheet" menu item causes the
Workbook_NewSheet event to fire, but control-dragging to create a new sheet
by copying an existing one doesn't! That's the strange part, and I could not
find a workaround. Is that what you are doing?

HTH,

Eric

 

[J.W. Aldridge]

na. not what i'z doing.

i even tried laying it out this way (to run it on the same sheets that
were going to be created) and didn't work.

Sub nn()
For x = Sheets("IND_BRKDWN").Index + 1 To Worksheets.Count
Call PASTE_COUNT
Call AAA
Call printareamacro
Next
End Sub

How are you creating the new sheet?

This is how i was creating the worksheets....

you use this.

[Dave Peterson]

You've turned events off:

....
.EnableEvents = False
End With
ViewMode = ActiveWindow.View
ActiveWindow.View = xlNormalView
ActiveSheet.DisplayPageBreaks = False

'Add a worksheet to copy the a unique list and add the CriteriaRange
Set ws2 = Worksheets.Add

You can turn events off after you do the .add or you could call the macros in
this code.

 

[J.W. Aldridge]

ok.

i figured that since it turns enable events back on at the end, it
would be ok since i run the others after the sheets were created.

if not, could i just not turn events off altogther by removing the
command?

.EnableEvents = False


thanx again

 

[Dave Peterson]

Or you could turn it off, do things, turn it on, do more things, turn it off,
...., and end with turning it on.

Whichever makes most sense for you and your code.
