Not running code for certain users

I have created a tracker sheet for other departments to use that email myself & my manager when a change is made.

This is the code below that I am using

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, _
Cancel As Boolean)

Dim answer As String

answer = MsgBox("Do you wish to save changes?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Save")

If answer = vbNo Then Cancel = True
If answer = vbYes Then
'open outlook
Set OutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OlObjects = OutlookApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set newmsg = OutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
'add recipients
newmsg.Recipients.Add ("Email Address")
'add subject
newmsg.Subject = "Appraisal Tracker"
'Add body
newmsg.body = "Changes have been made to the appraisal tracker"
newmsg.Display 'display
newmsg.Send 'send message


End If

End Sub

Is there way to stop the code from running when I make a change to the document?

Thank you in advance

Matt


RE: Not running code for certain users

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for the forum question.

You can do it by using one more IF decision code. The Application.UserName function will test the user name'



Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)



If Application.UserName <> "Jens Bonde" And Application.UserName <> "Matthew" Then

answer = MsgBox("Do you wish to save changes?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Save")

If answer = vbNo Then
Cancel = True
end if
If answer = vbYes Then
'open outlook
Set OutlookApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OlObjects = OutlookApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set newmsg = OutlookApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
'add recipients
newmsg.Recipients.Add ("Email Address")
'add subject
newmsg.Subject = "Appraisal Tracker"
'Add body
newmsg.body = "Changes have been made to the appraisal tracker"
newmsg.Display 'display
newmsg.Send 'send message


End If

End If





End Sub








I hope this make sense.

Excel tip:

Apply currency format quickly in Excel

To quickly apply the currency format to cell in your spreadsheet, select (highlight) the cells you wish to apply currency format to, then use Ctrl + Shift + $

This will apply a pounds symbol even though the $ key is pressed.
