Protecting All Sheets
Jul 1, 2007
I am trying to protect all sheets on a Workbook Close event.
I don't want the user to even be able to Select the Loked cells so I set it up that way through formating of cells.
This is what I have tried:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim sh As Worksheet
For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
sh.Protect Password:="P@ssword", DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
ActiveSheet.EnableSelection = xlUnlockedCells
' sh.Protect Password:="P@ssword"
Next sh
End Sub
I even tried the commented out line in that postion instead of where it is now.
It does protect but still allows selection of locked cells.

I currently have set up two macros that will unprotect and protect all sheets. When I run the macro I noticed that it will not unprotect the sheets that have been set as a new sheet for the chart (the chart is not a object in a sheet it is a sheet all by itself) Can anyone tell me where I have gone wrong?

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlMinimized
If InputBox("Pleas enter the password: ") "Password" Then Sheets("OkToSeeThisOne").Activate
ActiveWindow.WindowState = xlMaximized
End Sub
This is the code i enter into 3 sheets that i don't want ppl to see unless they know the password but if they press cancel the End on the debug error they can view the sheet lolz. How can i stop them actually viewing it at all?

I am using some VBA I found here to password protect a hidden sheet. It works perfectly for 1 sheet, but I am trying to hide 6 but am having problems. Under the HideSheets part I've modified it fine, by using
Sub HideSheets()
'Set worksheet to Very Hidden so that it can only be unhidden by a macro
Worksheets("Confidential1").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Worksheets("Confidential2").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Worksheets("Confidential3").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
End Sub.........

I have a sheet that pulls data from an external source. I want it so that when a person clicks on a cell or a range of cells, it automatically locks and hides the formula. I don't want to lock it by using the conventional method because protecting it will cause the external data not to be able to populate the cells. So my thinking is that when the data is imported, and the user clicks on a cell, it will automatically lock and hide.
I need columns
A C E:BB to be locked and hidden as soon as someone clicks it. Is this possible?
I read somewhere that I may be able to do some type of "Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange" to achieve this.

I would like to protect the worksheet from modification by other users except column A ( suppose A1: A15).
I have been doing this by removing Locked on format cell and then Protect Sheet on Review tab.
Is it the right way or there are other more reliable way?

I have created a form that allows users to input data to an excel sheet, and also will enable users to view the data once they are done.
Is there a way to unprotect the sheet using VBA so that the data can be written, and then protecting once the data has been input?

I've got about 50 worksheets in a workbook and I'd like to protect them all.
Problem however is that I've got buttons in my worksheets that insert rows, delete rows.
I've also got a dynamic chart with listboxes that select data.
When I protect my worksheets all this is disabled.
Is there a way around this?
This is what I've done so far:

Is there a way to just protect just a single cell, in order to lock & hide a formula within that cell, without having to password protect the whole worksheet?

I have a bunch of worksheets in my workbook say around 50
Each worksheet has the same template layout!
I am trying to figure out a macro that will select all worksheets from 'KLKN':'KFSN' and protect the cells L45:L52 accross to AL45:AL52
Unfortunately I cannot select all worksheets and protect them, instead I would have to manually do this, or create a macros that will do it for me...

Version used: Excel 2003
I have a spreadsheet that everyone in my department uses. My boss has asked me to protect certain columns so that only I can edit them but leave others so that the rest of the depratment can use those.
I have tried locking the ones I am to use and unlocking the ones the others can use then protecting the document. This works well enough as far as it goes, however, it is combersome having to unprotect then reprotect it every time I need to work on it. Also, that method makes the drop down lists that we are using for easy sorting no longer function.

I have a very large workbook - there are only five sheets of this workbook that should be viewed by anyone. What I would like to do and just can't seem to find a solution is...
I would like to set the workbook so that when opening I use a password which will give me full access to anything in the workbook - upon read only, a user would be able to open the entire workbook without a password - but only view it's contents - not be able to do any adjustments.
I have locked cells which I do not want anyone to adjust the formulas to, then protected the sheet - this works, however, because there are so many sheets, it becomes very tedious to unlock and lock sheets to work in them.

I have a Sheet with some Macro Buttons for the boss to use.
How can I protect the sheet from any Data Entry changes, but still allow the Buttons to be used?
I tried a few scenarios and in all, the Buttons can't be used.

I have a workbook and i have spent time protecting all the formula cells and allowing user to only be able to select unlocked cells (so they can quickly tab to where they need to input info).
I have lots of codes running and always use Activesheet=unprotect If i am modifying protected cells and then at the end of the code i put back the activesheet=protect.
HOWEVER
When i transfer this book to another machine or to someone else to run it on their machine - ALL of my protection GOES OUT THE WINDOW
Also - is there a way to hide or protect all my code so that users cannot modify it?
If so - how do i get it back to modify state when i want to edit it?

I'm trying to use the Tools|VBA Project Properties dialog box to stop folks from unhiding an xlveryhidden sheet, but even though I check the "lock" checkbox and input passwords in the password and the password verify boxes, Visual Basic fails to stop me from selecting the sheet in question from an Alt-F11 spawned VBA, and editing away.

I am working on both MS Office 2003 and 2007. I am currently working some formulas on the worksheet which I would like to be protected. Therefore I would like some cells in the sheet to be protected and therefore only the person knowing the password (administrator) will be able to change.

I need to protect the attached to stop people deleting the formulas. The problem is that there are hidden macros and when i protect the cells the conventional way they stop working and i lose all the data in the IAS sheet. I have highlighted all the cells in yellow that i want to be able to change once protected.
At this stage I would just like some one to explain how to protect it. Ideally I want to do it normally (unlock the cells individually that I want to remain unprotected, then protect the whole sheet). If its not then presumably its a macro alteration that's needed?? don't do it at this stage as depending on how it will be protected will mean that i need to make a few adjustments.

I have a workbook with several worksheets in it. One worksheet for each manager. I only want the individual manager to see their individual worksheet and not those for the others. Is it possible to hide the worksheet and unhide it using an individual password, a seperate one for each manager ?
or alternativly, is it possible to hide say the columns and give each manager their own password that only allows them to unhide the columns for their worksheet. I really dont want to have to send out several seperate versions, just sending one workbook but passwording the individual worksheets within it would be ideal.

I have a workbook with particular worksheets that should never be deleted. If they are deleted by the user the workbook will become unusable.
The users need the freedom to edit data within the sheets (so protecting them is not an option), however, I need to restrict this freedom so that they cannot under any circumstance delete the sheet. Is there such code that I could use in the worksheet code to stop this?

I have set up a workbook with a tab for each month. in the workbook open module i have the following code (below marked Password protect) that allows for three passwords to unlock certain ranges of cells, what i would like to do is for this code to apply to each worksheet.
Now in the main this works except for one range of cells H11 to H1000, on every sheet all cells are locked except for this range which is unlocked in every sheet except sheet one when you enter the password staff. The only other code i have is for a time stamp (marked time stamp) so that i can monitor when the user has entered data. this again has reference to the sheet name.
their must be something really straight forwad i am doing wrong here as everything works on an sheets except this range being locked.
I am in excel 2002 but my users are on 98, which is why i am protecting in VB rather than using the prtect range option.

modify the code below to do the following:
When I recorded this macro shown below, I entered in a password (twice) as prompted by Excel 2003.
So when I run this code, it seems to work fine. However, when I want to unprotect the worksheet, I am not prompted to enter in the password.
modify the code so that when I need to unprotect the worksheet, I am prompted to enter in the password?
