I'm trying to save an Excel 2007 document with a VBAProject password protected and can't get it to work. I have tried numerous formats (xlsx,xlsm,xlst etc) and when the workbook is opened the the password protection is not enabled! All the settings for macros etc are at their lowest.
View 3 RepliesI have tried to record macro to protect VBAProject / lock project for viewing. But can not success by that way.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've done the following steps so far:
Tools
VBAFormatProperties
Checked the "Lock Project from Viewing"
Applied a password
and clicked Ok
I understand that we can protect the VBA coding through check the "Lock project from viewing in the Tools>VBAProject Properties. However I would like to know if this is possible in code?
I have a mainworkbook for users that has the VBA coding protected (it contains passwords to unlock protected sheets / main workbook). In my program, the users will be entering data and then push a button which calls a macro to email a "skinny down version" of the main book to other users. Problem is, these users that receive the email will be able to get into the VBA code and see what the password is on the sheets. (even if the new workbook/worksheets are password protected) Is there any way when I save the new book to add this protection to the VBA code?
Why does this code no longer work? It gives me the error code Cannot find project or library and MyMsg = is highlighted in blue. This worked in 2003, but does not seem to like 2007 version of excel.
Sub Send2()
'This is the "Send to XX" button
MyMsg = "Did you remember to name and save this file to your computer?"
Response = MsgBox(MyMsg, vbYesNo, Attention)
Select Case Response
Case Is = vbNo

It is possible to lock the Author of the Worksheet in File --> Properties --> Summary Tab..?
I am using Excel 2003 & 2007..
How to Lock Individual Cells in a Worksheet excel 2007 .... i.e.
A2:A8
I want this selected area locked with password.
I have a table of projects with 1) duration in year, 2) time window (number of years of our planning cycle), and 3) start year of the project. I want to generate a list of project parts of all projects where they may take place. This will serve as an input to an optimization program.
So a project of 2-year duration should have 2 parts over any year within the time window. I am including the "impossible" ones for my developer to tag them as "0" when we run it through his code.
My task is to consolidate 4 Excel Project Lists (Workbooks) to a Master Workbook. The Project Lists has a different structure and almost different content. The relevant information is always on Sheet1 but it has completely different ranges. The only constant is the Project Number, which should be used to sort the information. Every Project should be listed only once with all the existing information.
I found a code written by Ron de Bruin which has already some components that I want to have in my VBA but I think there are still a lot of necessary adjustments to do.
Code:
Sub MergeSelectedWorkbooks()
Dim SummarySheet As Worksheet
Dim FolderPath As String
Dim SelectedFiles() As Variant
Dim NRow As Long
Dim FileName As String
Dim NFile As Long
Dim WorkBk As Workbook
[code]....
The Master Project List should has the headers in Row1 and the information listed below. The Macro should automatically places the correct information to the correct column. Some of the information are in 2 or more of the lists but they should be listed only once in the Master List.
Project Number
Project Description
...
1111E.000000001
[code]....
I guess a problem is that the structures of the Lists are quite different so there must be a kind of sorting process.
In the end I want to have an Excel File with the Macro and a Command Button and by clicking the Macro creates a new Workbook with the Master List.
It would be better if there is a variable range instead of a defined. Like the Macro searches the last row and starts at this row and column.
I am new to Excel programming, haven't done any before and not familiar with creating/editing macros. Using Excel 2007.
I would like to automatically lock all the cells in a row if the date in column A in that row is >= 7 days old. Data is entered once a week (some time Sunday - Saturday) and I would like historical data (rows) to be locked so that they can't be edited inadvertently.
If possible could I also highlight the current working week somehow?
I have attached the worksheet : testworksheet.xlsx
I have searched and found many examples of code that will lock cells once data has been entered. But for some reason, I cannot get it to work in my workbook. The weird thing is, I have successfully got them to work on blank workbooks. I unlock a range I want people to be able to edit, I protect the workbook, I enter the code, and it works. But I do the same thing on my workbook, nothing locks.
I've tried locking all the cells on a sheet, and only unlocking a small range, as in the examples (A1:A10), and I cant get it to work. I've tried not pre-protecting the sheet, I've tried 4 or 5 different examples of code. If it wasn't for the fact I've gotten it to work on blank workbooks, I'd think VBA was disabled or something. I can't post a copy of my workbook for you all to look at because its on a stand-alone computer at work (and the USB is disabled for info-sec).
Excel Version 2007
I am trying to get excel to open a MS Project file and then run a project macro on it.
What is happen is that when I run my code it works, and then excels VBA window freezes up and the run arrow goes away, and if I try to open project I just get a chiming noise and it won't open.
For now I have to select the MS Project file from a directory, but in the future I would like it to go through the folder and open all of the file in the folder
EXCEL CODE
Sub ImportMSProject()
Dim FileToOpen
Dim mpApp As MSProject.Application
Dim prjmacro As Object
'Identify the File to Open - START
FileToOpen = Application.GetOpenFilename("Microsoft Project Files (*.mpp), *.mpp")
If FileToOpen = False Then
Exit Sub
End If
'Identify the File to Open - END

I am looking to write a code to lock/unlock cells based on values selected using a drop down list (see attached Excel) For example if Netherlands is chosen as the Country (Column A), then except for the columns Amsterdam (column B) and Eindhoven (column C), all other columns must be locked. Similarly, if India is chosen as the country from the drop down list, then only the columns New Delhi and Mumbai must be editable for the user, the rest of the columns remain locked.
I tried tweaking some of the lock/unlock codes around, but got lost especially with getting to run the macro - still trying to come to terms with running a "Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange" function in the sheet from "Module"!
I need to write a couple of functions. Firstly I want to do a count on column B (project $) depending on the criteria on column A (project description). For example a total count of all values in col B if project description is "P" or "A". [I can do sumif functions but this is a countif and I cannot get this right].

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to protect my project so that others can't unhide a sheet I have tagged as veryhidden within VB.
I followed these steps:
1. Select project in the projects window
2. choose Tools
3. Project Properties
4. Protection tab
5. checked lock porject for viewing
6. entered passwords twice
7. clicked ok and saved
On another file this has worked perfectly as I wanted it to.
However on another very large file with multiple VB projects it is not "taking" on the project I need it to.
I can open the file, the VB project and change the setting on any sheet I need to without entering a password.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a macro in a workbook (WB1) that opens another workbook (WB2). After performing several other macros through user invocation with buttons, I close WB2 with the following statement:
Windows("WB2.xls").Activate
ActiveWorkbook.Close (False)
While the WB2 workbook closes okay, the WB2 project is still open in the VB editor. Does anybody know why this code isn't closing the project in the VBE?
The WB1 process can occur multiple times while Excel is open and each time a separate occurrence of the WB2 project is left open in VBE.

I have created a spreadsheet in Excel where it gives me a report of how many hours my employees do per week and it seperate them in different categories.
What I would like to do is find a way to match the cell's description with the amount of total hours that were spend on certain project.
So here is the scenario.
In my department there 6 employees that are assigned to work on certain projects in daily basis. These projects are called CRs and to identify them I've added a number after them.
So we will have CR0001, CR0002, ect. These are unique projects.More that one employee that could woork at the same project as well on other sections but I am only interested on the projects.
To help you understand what I am trying to do I will give you an example.
John is working on project CR0005, CR0006, CR0001. He has been working on them three projects for the last week.
Here is the summary of the hours:
- 5 hours on CR0005
- 10 hours on CR0006
- 5 hours on CR0001
This information is inputed in Excel spreadsheet Week 1 .....
I have attached a sheet with a sample of how my spreadsheet will look. This might involve a number of steps. I have actuals, forecast, and prior year information (for rolling months) for a number of line items. To the right, I calculate a variance (in total and %). What I want to do is create a list to the right (not sure how to format it) that populates the 10 items from the left with the most variance (units, not %). I would like it to populate the line item from the right as well as the number of units for the variance (columns F and H). Lastly, and I'm not sure if this possible, I might want to just select the items that are greyed out. That is, I would want the line items with the most variance but just from the greyed out lines. If this is not possible without a macro, I don't want to do it.

View 7 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to protect a VBE project using a macro instead of going to the properties and manually typing in a password? I'm using a macro that emails just one worksheet in my workbook (creates a new temp file, emails, and deletes it) but when the new file gets to the recipient the VBE project is unlocked.
I found a way to protect the worksheet before saving the temp file, so the worksheet is protected as it should be, but the project explorer window is completely open. Then anybody can see the passwords I'm using to protect the sheet in the first place. So I need to somehow re-protect the project before it saves and emails.
I am getting a complie error that I did not get when the code was written. Earlier versions of the same workbook still work fine without error. I hope thie workbook is not corrupted.
The error happens with the None command in this code for a button in a user form.
If i have a table full on excel data, date, names etc, and I have a userform where someone has filled all that in. On that particular userform I was wondering if their's a way I can get it to write each column over to a sample MS project document.
To save me having to manually change it over?
so on clicking a button, what ever's in sheet1 say it writes out out to specific ms project strips, e.g. start date(excel) written out to data(project)
