I thought I would revive an old thread, since others may be interested in this... I didn't want to bump it, since it was a pretty long thread with several different discussions. If you want to read the original thread, there is more information concerning this and other types of movie invitations:

My Excel Semi-Automated Ticket Maker.

See attached graphic for a partial screen shot.


PLEASE NOTE--- I used macros to automate some of this workbook. Excel may advise you when opening the workbook that there are macros present and will ask if you want to enable or disable the macros (for security reasons). If you disable macros, the workbook will still work fine. You just won't be able to interactively select color schemes, print from a button, or use the "copy to clipboard" button. All of these functions can be done easily from within Excel, but I added them for convenience.


The file is zipped. If you can't deal with zipped files, you'll need winzip or another file compression program.

[EDIT 9/5/2004]

You're welcome, everyone. It was an easy little thing I just whipped up, and I thought reviving the thread might help others out.


BTW, I've added hyperlinks to the original post above. I had a report of someone having troubles getting the file. If anyone has any problems, please feel free to post here or PM me.

Heh heh... I can't take all the credit.... Some people in that other thread came up with the idea and even the design. I just made it easier for people to make their own. :D


I've been toying with the idea of redesigning the whole thing using Macromedia Flash.... then it could be REALLY nice looking.... but like many things in life, there's just not enough time.


Hammerman--- when you say you "mocked up a couple...", did you add or change anything in the basic design? I know some people have added graphics. I was just trying to get some ideas of how people have been customizing it to their own tastes.

I'll see if I can make it less entertaining in the next version. :D

I was wondering-- how did you email it to them (attachment as an xls file, exported it to jpg.... etc...)? If I ever get around to redoing this thing, I'd like to see how people are using it.....

Thanks, everyone, for such positive feedback. Again, if anyone has a wishlist or bug report, etc.... please feel free to post your issues here.
