I have 2 spreadsheets: in a Sheet1 I keep some values and in a Sheet2 5 names of users with special rights (range A1:A5). I want to have sure that anybody will change/delete that names without password. Only the user "Administrator" can do that(I check the name of the user using "Application.UserName"). Additional question: is it possible to still protect those cells if somebody turn off macros during opening file?
View 4 Repliesi have been working on editting a game that i got off the internet and i was having trouble editing the buttons on the worksheet. they dont seem to be linked to a macro and i cant edit them or even delete them
it seems like they are forms but attached to the worksheet.
how to allow formating a text and cell in protect sheet ?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I protect the entire sheet, I can click in a cell and see what's in it, when I protect just a portion of the sheet, I can only click in the unprotected cells. Is this an Excel thing, or am I doing something wrong when protecting? I would like to see what the formula is in the cell when protected, but I can't click on the cell, what's the deal?

Not even excel 2002 (XP) prevents simple cracking software from removing sheet protection.
Are there any master keys that cause that ?

Is there a way to password protect a sheet so that you have to enter a password just to access it. I dont want most users to be even able to view one sheet unless they have the password.

I have an excel workbook I'm working on, and it needs to be protected. I have some groups that can be expanded or hidden, but once the sheet is protected you can no longer use the little button to hide or expand the group.
Any way to transfer the sheet protection from one worksheet to another worksheet via VBA.
Currently, the user selects a name from a drop down list, it unhides a workbook of the same name, copies from that workbook, and places the copied information in an area of the sheet with the drop down list. I would like the protection settings (in this case, selectivly unlocked cells to allow users to easily tab through and not make changes to data that should not be changed) to be copied with this information. Is this possible?
I have a piece of code with a couple of errors. The code selects a certain row and then copies and inserts this row on the last line with data, the number of rows is decided by the user via a form. The line of code with the error is highlighted, think it is a syntax/grammar error.
Code:
Sub InsertRows()
'
' Inserting Rows
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
FormRowInsert.Show
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
[code]....
I have a workbook with about 70 sheets, some are specific for data entry, others for data review.
I share the workbook with my data entry team, and lock the review sheets so that no one can modify the data on them or change the formating. End users review the final protected sheets for the information that is appropriate to them.
I need to track the status of the protection of each sheet, such that I can edit the sheets as needed, then protect / lock them once I am done.
Is there a way to indicate, in a cell within the indvidual sheets, the status of protection for that sheet?
For example, if the sheet is protected, the Cell would read "LOCKED" and if the sheet is not protected, the cell would read "EDIT".
I've been using the attached spreadsheet to record daily sales for a while now, however, we've recently intorduced a new product and so I've had to add a new column to record daily sales of it.
On the spreadsheet is a 'New Week' button. Pressing this deletes all entries and moves the week numbers on by 1, so giving me a blank template each week. However, after the addition of the new column I'm now getting a bug error message. I've adjusted the code to take account of the new column but I'm still getting a bug error. When I press 'debug' it's highlighting something I have changed so I'm a little confused why I'm getting the bug error. Would someone have a look for me. I only seem to get the bug when there is protection on the sheet, I need protection. The password is PHUKET38
Lets say I have this....
PHP
Dim B as Rangeset B = activesheet.range("A1:C3")Dim a(3) As Doublea(1)= 1.2a(2)= 3.6a(3)= .27
B is a 3x3 Matrix of values in your sheet
How would I perform matrix multiplication of B * array "a"?
My main problem is with how to reference then entire array "a" and how the data is being stored (is the array a 3x1 or a 1x3). And if there is a VBA MMULT command or if building my own or using the worksheet one are my only options.
I have been looking into refining the way a couple of big macros that I wrote several years ago work and have decided that instead of loads of inputboxes that a Userform might be the way to go. I have never used them, don't know how to link code to the objects to make them work and can on make a guess as to the right way to start going about this. Need sort of Userforms for Dummies site where I could pick up the basics? I am going looking toward having a box come up where the user can enter about 8 pieces of data and based on that data the macro will then go off and open specific files anc change specific data.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have tried to cobble together a macro to remove the sheet protection from every sheet in every workbook in a folder. Not surprisingly, it is not working. Unfortunately, I have reached the limits of my VBA abilities.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have hidden columns on a sheet.
I protect the sheet with a password before I send out the file to a 3rd party. However, it seems that all a user has to do is select the sheet cells, copy and paste onto another sheet or file. The protection is nonexistant and the user is able to unhide the columns.
Am I missing something?
Is there a way to "really" protect a sheet so that a user is unable to unhide confidiential columns? Preferably a method without VBA code.
I found one of your old VBA entries that allowed me to automatically refresh an autofilter function, and it works great.... with protection off.
As soon as I protect the sheet so users can't enter data into the pages showing the autofiltered data, the autofilter kicks off.
i have set the protection to allow autofiltering, so it's something that is preventing the macro (for automatically updating/refreshing the autofilter).
I'd love to either fix the macro to "autorefresh autofilter" with protection on, or just enter another code that will disable all functionality on the worksheet. (workbook is set up with multiple sheets, first sheet is for all data entry, subsequent sheets are filtered data-trying to make them viewable only).
I have a form that will be populated with different numbers of records. I need the records to be locked, but the remaining rows (if the user needs to add new records) to be unlocked. Can I use some sort of range.end function for this?
View 9 Replies View RelatedOne of the things it does throughout the course of the run is unprotect the worksheet, do what it needs to and then reprotects the sheet (using a password). On the second run, the sheet protection input box is shown and I am required to input the password before the code will execute.
The code that I have written uses an Add-in that pulls data from a database. As part of that retrieval, the other add-in protects the sheet without a password. Would that be causing my error?
I want to do apparently simple thing but somehow it never works...I must be highlighting wrong or doing something out of order etc.
I have a pivot table. Imagine it showing Dept date anc charge...like this:
Dept Date Charge
51 1/1/09 20.00
1/2/09 10.00
2/26/09 10.00
3/6/09 20.00
55 1/1/09 20.00
1/2/09 10.00
2/26/09 10.00
3/6/09 20.00
etc etc I HOPE I DID NOT LOOSE THE FORMATTING!
Anyway I want the first line (the one that shows the dept) BOLDED. I thought I could do dhtis with conditional formatting, applying it the sheett all at once by saying if the value in row A > 0 then bold the line..........but I am not doing right...
I am using the macro below to import every spreadsheet into a folder. I would like to modify it to check the sheets it is importing for sheet protection. If the sheet protection is turned on, I would like it to turn it off. The password for the sheet protection will be "PIR".

What can be done to eliminate this conflict? All of the cells I want available for editing are unlocked.
I have an excel sheet that have a large set of datas. In these datas in one column most of the datas are indicated as green but some of them are red. I can pick the red ones by using filter option but I also wanted to show the red cell values in one cell. For example, Cell1;Cell2;Cell3 like this (the ; should be between them). I try to use macros but that is not the program that I have full knowledge about it. S
( Like this
IF
A(i)= red
Then
B(i)=A(i)
end if

I am trying to create a user form to edit some named ranges. The VBA user form designer is basically the same as Borland Delphi, so building the form itself was easy. What I can't figure out is how to populate the user form with the data from the spreadsheet.
I have a number of text boxes on the form with names like txtTier1Slots, txtTier1Ceiling, txtTier1Floor, etc up to 4.
I have a defined name that corresponds with each item, Tier1Slots, Tier1Ceiling, Tier1Floor, and so on. I'm using defined names because they're referenced in Conditional Formatting on one of the worksheets in my project. They don't exist as actual cells, just name references.
I want to get the form populated with those values. I've tried about twenty variations of the following code, using ThisWorkbook, Workbooks, Cells, Range, Name, and just about every cell reference method I can think of. I've so many different error messages, my head is spinning.
how to protect a worksheet from editing and at the same time allow all data source links within the sheet to be refreshed? I need my users to be able to refresh all data links as required but not be able to change the worksheet in any other way.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUser Form Basics - Populating Text Boxes. A few tweaks later and its reading the data just fine. Some of the specific form objects and range names have changed, but it's the same logic.
Anyway, this isn't just for display. I need to export the data back to the spreadsheet. So, I plugged this line into the event handler for the "Save & Exit" button on the sample form in the other thread:
I recieve an error :
Run-time error '50289':
Can't perform operation since the project is protected.
When i try and run my code.
The code does add parts to modules and workbook events, but I need the code to be protected.
is there a way that i can stop people being able to edit certain cell in a sheet but still allow them to type in other cells as when i have tried diffrent ways it locks the whole sheet
