Header and footer, for individual machine?

[joe_0_1]

Hi Guys

I am looking to create a file, and each employee will use it (Timesheet)

In the footer, I would like to put in the log on to their individual machine?

I know you can put in [Date] [Time] etc etc

But would like their user name (Eg Joe, Bill, Fred) etc etc

Any ideas?

Right click the Excel logo just to the left of File on the menu bar, select View Code and paste in

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("Sheet1").PageSetup.LeftFooter = Environ("username")
End Sub

Change Sheet1 to suit. Save, close and reopen the file.

What a guy you are, how can I do it for every sheet on there?

(04.07.08 .... 11.07.08 ....18.07.08 .......25.07.08)

Thanks

also... it doesn't seem to be working for other people's machines! ?

Try this

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
    ws.PageSetup.LeftFooter = Environ("username")
Next ws
End Sub

Check that they have macros enabled.

They sure do!

This isn't clear to me. Do they all have individual copies of the workbook or is it a shared file on a server or similar?

Sorry.

I have made a template of a timesheet.

I then copy&paste this into 30 different files. So everybody has their own copy.

So Mr a has a file for timesheets, and the individual file will be July2008 Mr a

HTH

If they each have a copy of the file (including the code) then I can't understand why it isn't working, and certainly not why it would insert your username when run from another machine.

Try manually removing the footers from the workbook on another machine then saving, closing and reopening the file.
