Hi SirJB7
No. I know about this zip file but this would not help to accomplish what I want. I have sort of a check list template. When an item is checked, I want to give the option to the user to attache a file in relation to the checked item. If multiple items are checked, then their will be...
Hi SirJB7
Thank you for all your valuable time. I will check the attachment tonight and let you know. I am also open to your other suggestion of .rar/.zip. This is new to me. Can you provide more details or supply a block please?
Hi SirJB7
You have been very helpful.
I understand that the embed attachment is not specific to a cell.
Can I change the requirement and allow the other users for file attachment only once then disable the button. Is it possible? Please let me know.
Hi SirJB7
The end result you have mentioned is correct. This is what I am exactly trying to achieve.
Now to the beginning part:
A) the other users, not myself. It could be a word doc or PDF or a copy of a saved outlook email or another Excel worksheet.
B) could be both. The person who...
Hi SirJB7,
Thank you for the post. I am getting closer but not there yet. I have a protected sheet with some unlocked cells as your second sheet. This sheet will be accessed by multiple users and I want to make sure that the attachment goes only in a specified range of cells. So the question is...
Thanks SirJB7, i am ok with this. but the 2nd problem is' let I select range B2:E15 and then goto Home / Alignment group / Protection and uncheck the locked combobox. Then Review / Protect sheet / check mark next to select unlocked cells / OK.
now select a cell within the range B2:E15 and try...
Hi SirJB7
That's great.
If I protect the sheet and try embedding a file in an unlocked range of cells, I get an error message "object cannot be inserted" . Can you please tell be how to overcome this error. I am using Excel 2007.
Thanks
Hi SirJB7
the codes will force the user to save the file every time is opened and closed. I want to save the file only whenever something is changed in the file. Is there is a way to this using formula please?
Thank you SirJB7 for the reply; my intention is not create a link. What I want is attach a file to a spread sheet and email to another person. How do I attach as a file (not as a link). I was following the above steps in my first post. Please help.
Can someone please provide the VBA codes.
In Excel 2007; every time the file is saved, i want the saved date copied to the designated cell in the same file.
Thank You.

Hi Prasad
The ReTake function works greatly when sFileNameSave is false. However when it is true I am getting an error mismatch. Could you please look at the codes one more time?
what I am looking for is if the user select "Cancel" in the dialog box, I want the codes to represent the dialog box again until the user click the save button.
Thanks for all the help Prasad. there is still a small issue. As you suggested I added the extra line: Activeworkbook.save
It works fine on my desktop. I forward it to other people via email (or they open it in sharepoint). when others complete the form and try email it again, saving the...
