Clicking Locked Cell Activates Hyperlink
May 29, 2007
I have created a workbook of 12 monthly worksheets, with an index page with hyperlinks to each worksheet. There is also a hyperlink on each worksheet to return to index page. Each worksheet is protected, but the cells which users can enter information are not locked. The protected worksheets have the 'select locked cells' unticked.
I have found that an inadvertant click on any of the protected cells in the worksheet will take users back to the index page. This is very annoying, what have I done wrong? The hyperlink is one of the unlocked cells.

I have programmed a Form in VBA that initializes by clicking a button on a worksheet. The Form features combo boxes, text fields, and a couple option buttons. Once completed, the Form enters the values entered by the user (as strings) in contiguous colums in a single row. The worksheet is locked so as to not allow users to input values into the worksheet directly and bypass the Form.
The question:
Once a row is filled by submitting the Form, i want to allow a click event on that cell (like double-clicking, for example) to pop-up the Form, but containing the corresponding values from the cells in the matching combo boxes, text fields, option buttons. I want to do this so that I can allow modification on a row without letting the worksheet be modifyable without passing through the Form. Here's the code for submitting the Form values into the worksheet:
Private Sub cmdSubmit_Click()
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("ALTEC Growth Report").Activate
Range("A7").Select
Do
If IsEmpty(ActiveCell) = False Then
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
End If
Loop Until IsEmpty(ActiveCell) = True
ActiveCell.Value = Trim$(txtName.Value)
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1) = cboCC.Value
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2) = cboProdServ.Value
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 3) = cboStatus.Value ..................

I have one issue with my protected worksheet. Some locked cell contents are linked to cell contents located in another sheet. When I double clicked on these cells, a warning window poped up but also opened the sheet in which the corresponding cell is located. This is quite annoying to have to go back to the former sheet. How can I prevent it ?

I have a lot of text in a cell and I want to create a Hyperlink using only 2 or 3 words and not the whole text. Unfortunately, it seems as though the hyperlink can only be from the cell itself. Is it possible with Excel to create a Hyperlink from a section of text in a cell, and NOT from the cell itself?

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.

In my excel file, I have a cell with a hyperlink which points to an intranet portal. When I copy the hyperlink and paste it in the browser's address bar, the site opens. But when I directly try to open from the excel, by clicking on the cell, it redirects to a wrong URL and eventually does open the site.

I'm making a worksheet with 64 dropdown boxes.
I would love a macro that activates whenever any combo box is changed, that could tell me which DropDown was changed.
DropDown1_Click() seems to be the only option i can find, but is there a way to not have to create a unique method for each object?

I have a worksheet that serves as a navigation page for the workbook and use the following code to restrict from scrolling off the viewable content. The problem is that the code doesn't kick in until either a click if the mouse or keyboard input. This initially leaves the worksheet open for scrolling until input is received.
How do I make this code activate when the wb is loaded? Code in the Thisworkbook module already makes the menu the visible sheet, and code limiting the scroll area is in the sheet module.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
With ActiveSheet
.ScrollArea = "A1:L11"
End With
Range("A1").Activate
End Sub
I've also tried using "Range("A1").Select", but it doesn't work either. How can I get this to work correctly?

Whenever she clicks on a cell, the cell to the right of it is also selected. When she tries using tab to move to a new cell, she can only move between the two selected cells. Same with using the enter key. As such, it is extremely difficult for her to modify only one cell, since she always has two selected.
The F8 key, as well as Ctrl+F8. However, pressing the F8 key only adds more cells to the autoselection, and Ctrl+F8 allows her to select one cell, but also highlights the cells around it, and when we tried to select other cells, every cell we clicked stayed highlighted.
Additionally, sometimes when she clicks a cell, it will just select that one cell. Click it again, and the problem is back. I haven't been able to determine any patterns to this behavior, and I know there is no problem with the input (the keyboard and mouse are standard-issue in our lab, and we keep them well maintained).

I would like to accomplish 2 things in my Excel 2010 spreadsheet by click a cell which already has a number and formatting in it.
1. How do I change the color of the cell, the color of the number in it, and the border around it. (Make it look like I just pressed a button by clicking it.)
2. At the same time have the text in different cell and the number in the selected cell appear in another different cell. (Text in a different cell = A , and the number in the selected cell = 23, the value in the resulting cell be "A 23") Everything I would like to happen at the same time by clicking the selected cell. I would also like this to be done several times by clicking different cells and not changing the previously selected cells.

I would like to run a macro by clicking a cell. I don't want a toolbar button/menu item and Hyperlinks don't work. Can this be done?
More info: My macro selects the current row in Sheet A and moves it (cut & Paste) to Sheet B in the workbook. The macro then goes back to Sheet A and deletes the now blank row.

i have made (found) a way to change the data in a cell by clicking on it, however i can only make it go from 1 to 0 or 0 to 1...heres the VB
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error Resume Next
If (ActiveCell.Value = 1) Then
ActiveCell.Value = ""
Else:
If (ActiveCell.Value = "") Then
ActiveCell.Value = 1
End If
End If
End Sub
however, i would like the code to do a different task, i would like it to add one to the number everytime you click on it...i.e. it goes from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 etc. everytime you click on it...
if it is possible, i would also like it to be restricted to a few cells, which i can determine afterwards and change

I want to display a comment/note that is always visible however:
*The text in the comment should change "only when" the user of my worksheet "clicks" on a specific cell in the worksheet;
*I do not want that a comment appears/disappears/ changes when the mouse moves over any of the cells
*I do want that the same comment/note is used to display different text when the user clicks on another cell in the worksheet
*I do want that the user can position this comment on his screen where he wants it to be.

I have multiple data tables in one sheet...and each one has a chart...in that sheet. To better allow the viewer to coordinate quickly which data table corresponds to which cart...i want a line between them. Excel already has the draw line function, but if you move the chart around, the line doesn't move.

I have created a spreadsheet that will be viewed/used by various users (read only as I have protected the sheet except from three fields), although I would like to give them the ability to copy the contents of a specific cell that is protected.
I have tried to give them the ability to select the locked cells and then copy, but that means that the formulae in the cell is copied as well.
how I can let people copy a locked cell without the formulae?

I have worksheet that contain values in column E and G and the total in column K. E and G are unlocked for manual input and column K contains the formula for the total and is locked. From time to time a certain row will not be applicable and before I started locking the cells in column K i would just put "not applicable". Now that it's lock I can't do that. My only option now is to put O in column E and G but I would rather put "not applicable" in column K. Is there a way around this. I was thinking of something along the line of a macro that would unlock the worksheet input the text and re lock it. The macro would have to lunch when a locked cell is selected or have a button that would launch the macro an would prompt for which cell the text would be entered. Is this possible.

I have created a simple excel document with
Sub randomnumbers()
Range("B1").Formula = "=randbetween(1,100)"
Range("B1").Value = Range("B1").Value
End Sub
There is a button that i click and it creates a random number to cell 'B1'. it works fine, but i need to lock the document so that the user can only access one cell... 'A1' when i lock the document, and i click the button, it gives me a '400' error. i think it is because the button points to a locked cell.

I have two pieces of code. The first one puts a tick mark in the cell when you double click it. The second one hides column B of another sheet if the value in cell A1 of Sheet1 is "a". I want to combine these two codes so that when I double click cell A1 of sheet1 it puts a tick mark in the cell and hides column B of Sheet2 and clears the contents of range B2:B50 of Sheet2.

I have code in my Worksheet_SelectionChange.
However it will not update until I physically click on any cell within the U33 to U38 range.
How do I tell Excel that I physically clicked on any of these cells? I have tried Activate..., blank and re-populate, select cell, select range... In VBA it does not think it is being clicked on.. it is just doing the code... when done I have to again manually/physically click on it.

Is there any way to change the pattern color of a cell (or a group of non-adjacent cells), say from No Color into Red if the cell(s) protection is locked (or unlocked)? Seems to me that the Conditional Formatting cannot work this way.

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")
[Code].....

We have Microsoft Excel 2000 and i have locked all worksheets separately. I have enabled Data Validation on a range of cells and enabled a list box. The way the workbook works is you log in with a name, the cell range references the names in each cell to another cell which was your login name. Those that match, after clicking a button will unlock those specified cells.
Then users can use the data validation listbox function to select only their name from the cell that was linked to the log in name box. (the users name that logged in only shows in the list). The problem is, all cells by default are locked in the range with the names in. You cannot delete the values in any other way, unless you unlock the cells. (at least thats what is supposed to happen)
My question is:
Is there any code anybody knows that i can use to make excel copy what excel 2003 does, im sure that the problem is a fault with excel 2000 and microsoft fixed it when they released excel 2003.
