How could I alter it so that it hides and protects this sheet automatically before closing the workbook ?
Some sensitive data is held on worksheets that are used by people that do not have access to see the data.
It would be most convenient to keep the data in these worksheets but hide it from view of the users.
Is there a way to password protect a users ability to unhide a column?
How can I get my workbook to automatically re-protect a single worksheet in a workbook at the save-then-close point? It doesn't need to be password protected.

So when you press go, it unhides the sheet, goes to it, and hides it again, but then the sheet is hidden it pushes the user back to the page they was on, so it would appear you can't have a hidden sheet open.
Is there a way for excel to determine when the sheet has been closed, to be able to hide it when the user navigates away?
I close an existing excel file I need to automatically save it to another folder as the same name. I don't want any prompts or save as boxes to appear when this happens.
I need to do this as I use the file all the time, but need to save it on to a network where others can view it.
I have a macro that once it's run, it quits the application. The problem is that once it activates, it closes all the excel worksheets. What I want to happen is that if it is the only excel workbook open I want the application to quit, but if there is another workbook open I want it to just close itself only and leave the other ones alone.
I am running a script that populates about 70 or so workbooks based on information from the database. Naturally this script is quite slow but what seems to take the most time is opening and closing workbooks. Is there a way to "hide" the workbook opening/closing operation on the screen? I have tried using the
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
this sped the code up but you still see the workbooks opening on the screen.
Sub Button294_Click()
If Sheet1.Range("A34:A94") = "HIDE" Then
For Each cell In Range("A27:A94")
If UCase(cell.Value) = "HIDE" Then
cell.EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
End Sub

I'm trying to protect a sheet so that it can be unhidden only if you know the password.
This is because I have a macro that updates some of the cells and there are some people (and only those) that should be able to access it quickly and easily. -> can't use VeryHidden or cell lock.
I've stored all my on-line passwords (about 50 of them) in one sheet in an Excel workbook. I want to protect it so that if somebody somehow got access to it, they couldn't see the sheet, much less change anything.
I tried Tools/Protection/Protect Sheet and Tools/Protection/Protect Workbook, using a secret password. Then, nobody could change the data -- but they could still see it.
So then I hid the columns first, and then protected the sheet -- which did the trick. But that seems pretty cumbersome, because it involves two steps for me to open it up (unprotecting and then unhiding).
Is there a way to protect/hide in just one step so my sheet of passwords can't be seen by an intruder?
I want to hide a sheet and I can do that. However, what I want to do it that when the user wants to view the sheet I just hid, he has to unhide and then enter a password. Right now tthere is no password.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI need to be able to save a copy of my spreadsheet but protect the structure so that the hidden rows cannot be opened by the person that I e-mail it to. At the moment I am using the current
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Do
fName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename
Loop Until fName <> False
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fName
Call ProtectRobin
End Sub
Private Sub ProtectRobin()
ActiveWorkbook.Protect ("Robin")

The saving part of the macro is working perfectly, however I cannot get the protection to work. It must have a password - I do not want the receipient to be able to go 'Tools' > 'Unprotect Sheet'.
I have one worksheet that contains a large table. I'm using VLOOKUP to spread each row of the table to separate worksheets.
When VLOOKUP refers to an empty cell, is there a way to set that row to be hidden?
Also, if VLOOKUP returns data to a cell, is there a way for Excel to automatically set the row height to display all of the linked data in that cell?

I have a speadsheet that has 27 columns for time entries, however employees seldom need to use more than the first 12 columns. I need to protect the sheet but would like the employees to be able to Unhide the columns when they need to use them, then reHide them. I can't find this as an option in either 2003 or 2007.

How would I go about lock a cell after there is an entry. Once the entry has been made the user could not change the entry. For example if a user enter in cell b2 he could not change the entry, he could change a2, c2, d2. He would also be able to put an other entry in b3, once enter the cell is lock.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a battery sizing workbook, which has various tables and active cell VBA routines, that enable the user to input a number and then select a cell from the table presented on the front worksheet. This will then display the solution including other data. I have now been requested to share the workbook and all I seem to do is lock it up and therefore stop and calculations. Therefore your assistance is required in two area's:-
1. How to protect the workbook and allow the user to select a cell on the front worksheet, without all the all the VBA routines appearing to grind to a halt! I can lock an hide all the subsequent worksheets without freezing the front worksheet.
2. I can hide all the toolbars, row and column headings under my Tools/Options which will display the worksheet neatly...... Therefore can I some how instruct the users Excel to turn these off when loading?
Here is what I try to achieve:
- I have a "Menu" worksheet with basic Hyperlink to Sheet1, Sheet2 etc.
- When I click on a link (or on the tab), I want a prompt asking for a password (different for each tab). I do not anyone who doesn't have the correct password to see the content of the worksheet.
(I don't know VBA and I couldn't modify the code to fit my needs)
Here is the code posted
Dim sLast As ObjectPrivate Sub Workbook_Open() 'Ensure Sheet1 is not the active sheet upon opening. If Sheet1. Name = ActiveSheet.Name Then Sheet2.SelectEnd
I have an Excel 2007 workbook which has five sheets in. I just wondered whether it is possible to hide all five of them when the workbook is first opened. Also I would like the user to be asked for a password when they wish to unhide a sheet, with the password being different for each of the sheets.
Is there also a way to do this which won't be affected by Excel disabling all Macros when the application initially opens.
The first macro protects all sheets in a Spreadsheet and the second unprotects. The the next Macro Protects the enitre workbook and likewise the next one Unprotects. All using passwords.
VB:
Dim ws As Worksheet
Sub ProtectAll()
Dim S As Object
