Mar 29, 2012Here 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?
Protected Sheet With Timestamps And Locked-after-saving Cells
Dec 31, 2013I 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")

Paste Into Range But Skip Protected/Locked Cells
Feb 29, 2008I'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?

Nov 16, 2008I just realized that some of my comments on a worksheet are being cut off or not viewable. By Default the Comment is displayed to the Right of its cell. I have a Scroll Lock to prevent users from scrolling off the work area. Some of the comments are being displayed past this scroll area and the user is unable to read the comments as they are being cut off or being displayed beyond the scroll area.
Is there anyway to reposition or set the area that these comments are displayed? For Example, to the Left of the cell so that they are able to be viewed. The Workbook is Protected and the Cells with comments are locked so the user won't be able to click on the cell. I found 2 Codes that would work if the user could either click on the cell or if the comment always visible(they are not)

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.

Jan 23, 2014On 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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMacro Is Unlocking Locked Cells
May 7, 2008I'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)

Select Locked Cells In 2000
Jun 15, 2009I'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?
Edit Locked Formula Cells
Aug 12, 2006I 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.

Aug 23, 2013I 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)
When Protecting Workbook With Pw, Unlocked Cells Are Still Locked
Dec 16, 2009I 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.
Need Cells Locked Based On Text In One Cell
Aug 7, 2012What 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?
