Version control in vba

I have a workbook with macros which gets frequently updated and is used by separate users. What is the best way to ensure everyone is using the latest version?

RE: version control in vba

Hi Paul

Thanks for your question. I am not sure how your users are accessing your Excel file, is it on a network, or emailed back and forth?
For simplicities sake, if the file is being email back and forth it would make sense just to have a file save convention and keep everyone in the loop.

If the file is being accessed by users over the network, you can set-up sharing rights within Excel, goto Tools, choose Share Workbook, then in the dialog box select check box "Allow changes by more than one user at the same time. This allows workbook merging"

I would strongly recommend that you experiment with a test file to understand the behaviour of this setup before using your real files.

Hope this helps.

Jacob

Excel tip:

Convert a column into row quickly in Excel 2010

Occasionally you might enter data into Excel vertically and then when you finish realize that actually it would look more clearer if it was represented in a horizontal format. If you follow these simple steps below, you can quickly change the data from going vertically to horizontally and vice versa.

First, select the column you want to convert into a row or a row into a column. Then right click and select Copy. Go to the sheet where you want to past this row as a column and select “Paste Special”. Remember to check the check-box “Transpose” and select “OK”.
