Checking Workbooks With Password To Modify

Aug 13, 2009

I have about 50 spreadsheets which should all have protected worksheets and workbooks. I have to go into each spreadsheet occasionally to make changes, and sometimes forget to reprotect them! I have written a macro to create a checklist of whether or not they are protected - ie. I have a list of the filepaths/filenames and the macros will open each file and use the .protectcontents and .protectstructure properties to put a yes next to the filename.

This works well and is helping me, but I want more! When a user completes their spreadsheet I will password protect it, so only I can open it to modify with a password (they can go in read-only). I want to do the same as I have done above to check if this is the case. I have tried a few different properties - I thought activeworkbook.writereserved would do it, but it doesn't work.

Trying To Modify Code To Track Changes In Two Workbooks

Aug 28, 2009

I was trying to see if this code would work for my application where I want to compare two forms. Basically the master is filled out and then sent to a vendor. When it comes back from them rather than going through then entire thing and trying to determine if they changed or added anything manually I was hoping to use something like this code to do it.. I tried this code using a similar setup, basically a master file and an update file but it wouldn't actually populate the changes in the changes sheet on the master form..

Error Handling - Checking If Workbooks Open

Nov 25, 2013

I'm trying to add a little error handling in my code. I have a macro that, when running opens a number of workbooks. At the end of the macro, my code then closes all the workbooks I've opened.

I was wanting to create an error-handling procedure that displayed a message box, and then closed any workbooks that I've opened during the course of the macro. Obviously the error could trigger at any point, so not all workbooks may have been opened at the time

My code is as follows - I've tried On Error Resume Next in the error-handling code, but Excel still returns an error that it can't find the Incidents_MTD sheet when trying to close it.

Code:
On Error GoTo ReportError
code
code
code
ReportError:

[Code].....

Linking To Password Protected Workbooks

Jan 24, 2012

I have all of the passwords. I just want to avoid having to type in all 30+ of them each time I open the master sheet.

I have a master for each manager that pulls a few values from each of their employees personal sheets.

The personal sheets (about 30) are individually password protected so only the owners can open them.

This is creating a security issues as the links in the master require the passwords for each of the "source" workbooks.

Is there any way to add some code so that the passwords do not need to be entered each time?

My question - is it possbile to automatically have the passwords entered so that the master can get updated?

Combining Two Workbooks Into One (hiding Sheets, Password Protection, Etc.)

Aug 26, 2008

='NAME OF SHEET'!$#

where # equals the exact cell in the other sheet I want to copy. I'm also starting to realize that with this formula, Senior Monkette and I could take Dingleberry and Bliddiboo and combine them into a more powerful and robust spreadsheet (called "Voltron!").

1. If we're going to be sending Voltron! to the client, all I would need to do is password protect, then hide the Dingleberry sheets so that the client doesn't look at them accidentally, right?

2. If I hide and protect the Dingleberry sheets, the cell information will still show up on the Bliddiboo sheet, right?

3. Since Senior Monkette isn't as Excel-savvy as I am, the entire process would have to be as painless as possible. What I was thinking of doing was having one master Voltron! where Senior Monkette could make her changes and updated. Then every week, save the entire thing, protect/hide the Dingleberry sheets, and then save a copy as a separate Voltron! file, marked by the date, which then gets shipped off to the client. Is there a macro I can run that will do that all with the press of one button? (And how do I install macros?)

Macro To Open Protected Workbooks Prompting To Enter Password?

Jul 25, 2012

I am having an issue with a macro to open password protected workbooks. The macro works just fine in opening the files and whatnot, but for some reason it prompts me to enter the password again once the file has been opened. Funny thing is I can either hit OK or hit Cancel and it goes to the next file. All files open correctly, I was just curious as to why this is happening and how to correct it?

Nov 28, 2008

I am havng problems with the belwo macro code -

Range("G7").Select

Password Protect: Unlock The Worksheet, Autofilter It, Print It, Unfilter It, And Password Protect The Sheet Again?

Jan 12, 2007

I have a sheet that is password protected. I have this code attached to a command button. It will unlock the worksheet, autofilter it, print it, unfilter it, and password protect the sheet again. However it is protecting it without a password. I need to have it protected with the password so that someone will not be able to just go to tools to unprotect the sheet.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
ActiveSheet.Unprotect "rainforest"
Columns("O:O").Select
Selection.AutoFilter
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=">0", Operator:=xlAnd
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1
Selection.AutoFilter
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _
, AllowSorting:=True, AllowFiltering:=True
End Sub

Modify (PDF Code )

Feb 9, 2010

Find below a vba code that i attached to a button that converts my print area in excel to PDF via Cute PDF writer.

Sub PDF_Sheet()
Dim Filename As String

With ActiveSheet

Filename = .Range("A1")
.PrintOut Copies:=1, ActivePrinter:= _
"CutePDF Writer on CPW2:", Collate:=True

SendKeys Filename & "{ENTER}", False
End With

End Sub

I need a VBA code for the Excel sheet that i am cuttently working in that will do the following:

i have text and pictures in range O86:W97 that must be automaticaly romoved & replaced by another range after the above mentioned code hase complete

the range that must be replaced with the following,
O101:w112 Pdf code must run then
O113:w124 pdf code must run then
O125:w136 pdf code must run then
O137:w148 pdf code must run then
O149:w160 pdf code must run then

note that the ranges run in a sequence 101to112 then 113to124 then 125to136 and so on

Now this needs to be repeated 190 time starting from range O101:w112. The range O86:w97 forms part of my print area of A1:W97, this means i will have 190 PDF saved pdf sheets when i the vba code is complete.

Macro To Modify Several Worksheets

Jun 21, 2013

Due to the lack of time and not being able to make it work otherwise this is what I have right now:

If Range("g59") = 1 Then

Sheet1.Activate
Application.Run "Edit_view"
Sheet3.Activate
Application.Run "Edit_view"

There was a formula to enter sheets names in a cell range (ie: A1 would have value SHEET1, A2 SHEET2, etc) and use a FOR loop to cycle through the named sheets.

Modify Multiple Spreadsheets At Once

Apr 28, 2008

i have admit forms for multiple patients, about 200 or so already done, and its set up to make an upload sheet, which we then add all of them to one big file to import to access. i am in the process of cleaning things up, but we need to add a formula to a cell to determine length of stay, and several similar things, but i'd like to not have to go and do it file by file.

is there any way to update all the files at once? some kind of automation? then changes would be in the same cell for each file.

or maybe some way to do a batch modify or something, so it can make the change, and run the two macros, one to make upload for file, one to dump it in the file that goes into access.

Modify Formula From Sum To Count

Hi I have these formulas that look in a specific column and if the argument is true then it sums the numbers in the same row but different column.

I need it to count instead of sum. These are array formulas so in order for them to currently work you must press ctrl shift enter.

{=SUM(IF('sheet1'!I7:I510>D7,'sheet1l'!G7:G510,0))}

{=SUM(IF( 'sheet1'!I7:I510>B8,IF( 'sheet1'!I7:I510
