edit directly in cell

[tracktraining]

Hi All,

My coworker just tested my file and it didn't work. I soon realized that the
"edit directly in cell" option was check. So, after unchecking the option,
and the coworker double click on the cell, the userform appears and set the
userform to be active.

is there a way to have the "edit directly in cell" uncheck for certain excel
files and check for others without manually having to go to tools/options
everytime?

thanks,
tracktraining

For those files, Assign this macro to the workbook_open event:
Alt/F11, Ctrl/R, doubkle-click "ThisWorkbook", put in this code:

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.EditDirectlyInCell = False
End Sub

TrackTraining,

This option is the following code in VBA:

Application.EditDirectlyInCell = True (or False)

Look into writing this into a Workbook event (Activate/Deactivate).

Hi,

Set it in the workbook open event

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.EditDirectlyInCell = True

or

Application.EditDirectlyInCell = False
End Sub
