Check Locked Cells
Nov 6, 2008
Sub PastSpec()
If Selection.Locked = True Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo ErrHan
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
ErrHan:
Exit Sub
End Sub
I recorded part of it and adapted it afterwards. You will notice I have a line to check for locked cells, this does its job if the cell selected is locked. However if the cell selected is unlocked and the cell below is locked the code still excutes and pastes.

1.I need to protect certain locked cells from editing and allow certain unlocked cells to be changed on multiple worksheets.
2.When all of the changes are made to the unlocked cells, I need to password protect the entire workbook (except one worksheet) from any changes. (i.e. Prevent even the unlocked cells from being edited)
3.I also need a password to un-protect the workbook and return it to the state described in # 1. above .

Any way to make it so that a cell can remain locked but be able to click a hyperlink? I need the cell to remained locked so nobody can alter the hyperlink name and value but I would like users to be able to click it and have it open in their browser.

On an excel document that was originally formatted as a number and then locked, somehow users have changed the formatting to a date. I think it is an accident, but I can't figure out how they are doing it. I have several data files on a server where several offices have access to them to input data and somehow formatting gets changed sometimes, even when locked.

I'm using three different workbooks for the macro I've designed. The macro works exactly as I planned it would, but I'm getting a curious side-effect of running the macro. I have over 5,000 workbooks that I need to open, unprotect, change (mostly by copy/paste), and reprotect. It's a fairly straight forward macro, but it is my first, and I must be overlooking something. When the macro is complete, cells that were not modified via the macro in any planned/anticipated way are being unlocked. This has left me puzzled and frustrated. The files are opened, unprotected, the cells are copied over as planned, reprotected, and closed/saved. Everything works perfectly, but the cells in parts of the workbook (Filename) (which were locked before the macro ran) have been unlocked and are no longer protected when the workbook is reprotected. Again, these cells were not within the ranges modified, and I'd rather not have to format every cell in every one of the 5 sheets of (Filename) to be locked.
File names are:
"Finished Goods Inventory TREE (ToDMSI).xls" (alias: Workfile - sheet providing file path to be updated)
"Random_workbook_selected_from_previous_filename.xls" (alias: FileName - the copy-to file being updated)
"MACRO TEST BOM Master.xls" (the copy-from file always open)
Comma Delimited table layout in "Finished Goods Inventory TREE (ToDMSI).xls":
Col A, Col B, Col C, Col D
Customer ID,Item Code,File Name, Directory
4FRE01,4FRE01-0001,4FRE01-0001.xls,4FRONT
Here's the
Public FileName

I've created quite a few workbook/worksheets in excel 2007 compatibility mode that are data entry intensive. When protecting these worksheets, you have the option of allowing the user to "select locked cells". I invariably uncheck this option because the user doesn't need to interact with these cells.
However, several of my users are running Excel 2000 and the same option is not available when one protects a worksheet in Excel 2000. Is there a way to do that in VBA for these Excel 2000 users such that when they click on a locked cell, the cursor will not respond to that cell?

I have a template that I have hidden the formulas but allowed editing. Is it possible to create a pop up box for the end user to use to edit a cell with the hidden formula? This is a budget template with already set up formulas but the end user needs to be able to make edits but the end users are beginner excel users and if they double click on the cell the formula will automatically delete leaving the cell blank. I need a way around this so they cant view the formula but only change the data if they really mean to change it.

I have a formatted budget vs actual income statement that has subtotals in the appropriate spots. I would like to be able to paste over the entire column with updated data, but not write over the formulas. For instance, in one spreadsheet I have the data for the month of June and in another I have the data for the month of July. Both have the same number of rows, but are formatted slightly differently. I want to be able to replace the June data with the July data. My first thought was to lock the cells with the formulas, protect the sheet and then paste over the entire column, but I get the following error:
The cell or chart that you are trying to change is protected and therefore read-only.
To modify a protected cell or chart, first remove protection using the Unprotect Sheet command (Review tab, Changes group). You may be prompted for a password)

I have had a workbook that has 2 sheets.
When I protect the main sheet with a password, the unlocked cells are also locked.
When I move my cursor over any cells, it has the pointed finger as though it has a macro over it, which it doesn't.
When I click on any cell, the screen flashes and a large part of the screen momentarily it looks like a selected area.
I also am using Freeze Panes. Removed the Freeze and still no good.
If I use the horizontal scroll bar and click the right arrow 3 times, they become unlocked.
If I move the screen 3 clicks to the left, it re-locks all of the unlocked cells.

What I'm trying to do has been done before, However, all of the Code i am seeing online is not working for me...so maybe i'm missing something
I want a range of cells to remain locked unless SCP is entered. I need this done for four different selections (SCP, SD, MM, PP)
So if SCP is entered, then a certain range of cells remains locked, If SD is entered then another range of cells remains locked, so on and so forth for the 4 selections.
This was what I was working with.... However, i am not sure if i need to protect or unprotect the spreadsheet before i run the macro, also am i supposed to leave all cells locked or unlocked?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If [B3] = "SCP" Then
ActiveSheet.Unprotect ("PASSWORD")

I have a big Excel file that is supposed to be used by many users and therefore I need some cells locked. But problem is I use these cells in my vba codes which the users must be able to run by using the buttoms in the file. But now I get error in every macro since the cells the code are trying the reach is locked. Can I make an exception for vba codes in some way so that I can run my macros?

I am fairly new to Macros and such so please bare with me. I work with workbooks that have 30-50 worksheets in them. They are fairly complex and we send them out to our agents to use and need them protected so they cant change anything. I found how I can protect all the worksheets with one macro. There is one more part that I would like to add to this macro that I cant seem to find an answer for on these forums (Yes I have spent the better part of the day looking).
When you manually go to protect a page. It asks you to type in your password for the first time and below that there are a bunch of boxes that can be checked or unchecked. I need the first box "Select locked cells" to be unchecked. It is checked by default. Is there something I can add to my macro to uncheck this box?
This is the topic I used to create my Protect/Unprotect macro.

I have a workbook with multiple sheets interacting with one another. On one of them the user is prompted to make lists of expenses in multiple columns. The column labels are in row one, and row two has the sums of all the cells below. I have every sheet in the workbook protected, so that only the cells that need to be modified are unlocked. The problem is that the user can drag cells around and change the range of the functions in row two (locked cells).
For example, A2 has the function =sum(A3:A100). But if the user drags the values in A3:A5 to A6:A8, the formula in A2 changes to =sum(A6:A100). Is there anyway that I can allow the user to drag cells (this could be a useful feature), but keep the formulas in the second row fixed?

So i have sheet 1 with some cells locked and protected (but open to copying) as a template and sheet two will be where people paste one or more of the template formula on an ongoing basis. How do i mantain the locked and protected cells after they have been pasted? I have unlocked sheet two pasted the first template and had to choose protect cells after pasting, and further pasting of locked cells are not protected.

I'm trying to make a spreadsheet more secure to prevent unintentional changes.
What i'm looking to do is to lock all cells so no changescan be made unless the user clicks column A.
Column A should remain unlocked and when the user clicks it i would like the entire row unlocked for editing (but only after column A is clicked)
I will run a macro to lock the entire sheet again once the sheet closes.

I have a protected sheet with merged cells. I would like the user to be able to insert a row and have the formatting (including merged cells) duplicated on the new row. I've searched and seen some different options using VB but I'm clueless as to how to use those. Is there a simple way to do this?
Copying the row and using "insert copied cells" won't work because they get an error because of the sheet protection.

Here is an excerpt of my code
Code:
Else
Sheet8.Unprotect Password:="rm123abc"
Sheet8.Range("V" & rw) = "Item is not found in the Data Base. Please Contact DME for all documentation requirements for this item"
Sheet8.Protect Password:="rm123abc", AllowFiltering:=True, AllowInsertingRows:=True, AllowDeletingRows:=True
End If
Unfortunately, once the code has run and has finished re-protecting my sheet, it doesn't allow the user to select locked cells. These locked cells contain hyperlinks, and they need to click on these hyperlinks to navigate through my workbook.
So I have two questions:
1. How can I enable allow user to select locked cells
2. Do I have to allow the user to select locked cells to access my hyperlinks, or is there another option?

I need to unlock and lock certain cells when other cells have data entered.
I also need to enforce in the unlocked cells a minimum value.
In my worksheet i have the below requirement
Initially Cells C6 and 7 are unlocked and Cells C5, 8 and 9 are locked
1. Cell C6 must have a value entered greater than or equal to 50, when this value is entered I need to unlock cells C5 and C9 and lock cell C7
2. Cell C7 must have a value entered greater than or equal to 50, when this value is entered I need to unlock cells C5 and C8 and lock cell C6
I also need to unlock cells C15 and 16 when C13 has "Yes" selected in the drop down menu.

I have this excel sheet I'm trying to create (to make my life better at work). It's to track credit card refunds. It'll be saved on sharepoint. So my department will fill in the data on the "Ops" side, and then the accounts department will fill in their side. It's very rudimentary, but anything is better than the old, tattered BOOK we are currently using.
So far, I have the user/date/time stamps autofill, when the user fills in "Entered by" or "Recieved by". I have those cells locked so no one can edit it. I have separte passwords for both sides (Ops and Accounts).
What I want now is to be able to:
1. Lock each line once it's been entered and saved. Say my department fills in one entry. We save it. After that, it CANNOT be edited. If there are any changes, I'll put in a remarks column so people can enter stuff.
2. If someone enters the first two columns (Guest name, booking number), then the "Entered by" HAS to be filled, or the workbook cannot be saved.
3. ONLY letters can be used for Guest Name and Entered by. I've tried different things for this. While I've managed to make it work if the user enters a digit first, I can still enter John56, and it'll pass. I need it to only allow letters (and spaces).
4. The "Booking Number" should only allow six digits. No less no more than six digits. It can be 000001 even. But it has to have six. And, obviously, no letters, no spaces.
In the "ThisWorkbook" module, I've got this code:
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim wSheet As Worksheet
For Each wSheet In Worksheets
wSheet.Protect Password:="hurlEy!", _
UserInterFaceOnly:=True
Next wSheet
End Sub
In the sheet1 module, I've got this code:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
On Error GoTo enditall
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Cells.Column = 3 Then
With Target
If .Value "" Then
.Offset(, 1).Value = Environ("username")

I've been trying to paste formula throughout a range of cells in the same column. Trouble is, I protect some sub- total cells and don't want the formula to paste over those sub-total formulas.
If I protect the sheet and paste the formula throughout the column including the protected cells, I would get an error message.
How can I paste the new formulas without getting into trouble of the protected cells?

I have users that are using a protected Excel Workbook where they sometimes have a need to copy values from Internet Explorer paste them into the protected Excel Workbook. When this happens, if the users select the cell and don't actually paste the text into the formula bar (or by double clicking the cell), they can replace the destination cell's formatting - which in this case makes the cells a locked cell instead of a unlocked cell.
Now is there a way to automatically have the pasted value keep the destination formatting? Or perhaps is there a way to set the copy and paste settings so it only pastes text from Internet Explorer into Excel and not the formats?
It is not an option for the userbase to select the option choice of matching the destination formating when pasting as it is a very large user base without much Excel experience.

If not, add onto a "counter" then display the final number of occupied cells (the value of the counter) at the end. This is what I have so far, but I get all sorts of errors.

Dim WS As Worksheets
Dim modCounter As Long
