Disable Password Prompt Upon Opening Spreadsheet
May 29, 2008
have a password protected spreadsheet with a userform for people to enter data. This allows them to enter data, but stops them from editing or deleteing data once entered.
When the spreadsheet is opened, it asks for a password to unlock it. Hitting cancel allows the user to continue and the userform pops up for the user to enter data. I would like to disable the initial password prompt when the file is opened to avoid confusion on the users part.

upon opening my spreadsheet which will only open if the correct answer/ password is typed.
I’d need to store the questions, passwords/ answers somewhere for VB to look up I guess??
Capital of England – London
Capital of France – Paris
Capital of Italy – Rome
Etc etc
And then I need coding which will open one of the random questions, which will only grant access to the spreadsheet if the correct answer is typed.

I need to put together a macro, which will be assigned to a command button, that will prompt the user for a pre-specified password, and, if the password is correct, return a pre-specified value in a different cell. Is there any way to do this?
To put it in perspective, at my company we have approval sheets that need to be signed by several executives that are scattered all over the building. The first executive gets the copy, signs it, sends it off, etc. They tend to dissappear on occasion, so we are looking to make it all electronic, where they can access the file in a shared folder, and the if they enter their password correctly, their initials are input into the specified cell. They can than save the file for the next executive to do the same.

I am trying to complete a toolbar that will lock and unlock all the sheets in a workbook. While I can set the password automatically I'd like to have the macro ask for the password instead of hardcoding it.
Here is the code I currently have and works so long as I have already set the password in the workbook to match what is in the macro

I have created a workbook that mostly works with VBA codes. Within the code I have ensured that certain worksheets remain hidden. However, I have also written a macro to access what I called the ADMIN worksheet, which has several commands enabling updates and troubleshooting. Long story short, I would ideally like to prevent users from accessing that worksheet. I have already created a prompt (Msgbox) asking the user if he/she wishes to proceed with the macro but I would prefer being able to have a password prompt to run the macro.

I have created an Excel sheet that retrieves data from a ODBC source. I have created a macro using macro recorder to refresh the data by re-connecting to the database. However, the connection requires a password prompt and when the macro is run, you are still required to enter the password.
Is there anyway to make the macro so that the password is automatically entered and the user will just have to press a button to fully run the query update?

Macros are just not my strong suit. I can usually find my answers here but this one has me stumped. I have rewritten this thing everywhich way but loose and this is my latest version.
Sub SetProtect()
'
' protect Macro
' prompts for password protection
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+p
'
Dim Response As String
Dim Answer As Integer
SetProtect:
Response = InputBox("Enter password")
If Response = "safety2" Then.......

i currently have an excel based application with VBA code. I'm trying to add some controls around the app by prompting user for login and password credentials prior to ODBC connection at runtime. So when application is launched, prompt appears, user enters login and password, if correct, it goes on to verify user has ODBC connection at runtime.

When I close one excel document, I get prompted for a password.. And it won't close (I don't know the password) The only way I can get it away is by terminating it in task manager. I have read alot of threads in here, where the solutions should be to uninstall Google Desktop..

I have created an Excel template that the company sends out to suppliers to provide us with Quotations. I've added some VB in the Before Save module to prompt the user to do certain things. The problem I have is that I run another procedure that loops through a list of data and re-formats it using the template and therefore every time it tries to save a file the Before Save prompt pops up.

Simple question: How can I disable the Research Task Pane from launching when I Alt-click in Excel 2003?
Further Explanation:
I have an Excel Add-in (commercial, not my own) that will retrieve data from an outside server when the user presses Alt-Double Click. Work's great. I've now upgraded to Excel 2003, so anytime I Alt-Double Click, Excel opens up the "Research Task Pane" (Pain?). To make matters worse, I'm behind a corporate firewall, so I get an authentication challange in order to connect to the internet when this opens. Don't want it, don't need it, want to get rid of it. Any solution is fine - Option setting, VBA, Registry setting

I've looked through this wonderful sight and haven't found one close to my project. I am a bit rusty on VB programming. I am working on workbook that contains multiple worksheets. Each worksheet is hidden and is accessible with a login and password so that only a specific user can access. My question is: How do I modify this so that the manager can open the workbook and view ALL worksheets without having to enter the login name and password for all of his users? Any help would be great. Thank you!!
Below is what I have so far: ....

I have an Excel 2007 workbook which has five sheets in. I just wondered whether it is possible to hide all five of them when the workbook is first opened. Also I would like the user to be asked for a password when they wish to unhide a sheet, with the password being different for each of the sheets.
Is there also a way to do this which won't be affected by Excel disabling all Macros when the application initially opens.

Is it possible to open an OpenOffice spreadsheet in Excel while keeping all formulas?
At the minute when I try this, Excel just opens the spreadsheet with the values of each cell from OpenOffice (the results of the formulas) and not the actual formulas themselves.

I am working on a personal macro that is lauched from a file that is produced on a weekly basis resulting in a filename that changes every week due to a date range that is in the file name (ex. Weekly Accounting 04_16_14 to 04_22_14.xlsx), for this example I will call this "Spreadsheet A". When working with this spreadsheet I open another spreadsheet ("Spreadsheet B") to retreive data and I then need to go back to Spreadsheet A again to paste this data. The problem I have is I don't know how to go back to Spreadsheet A since the name changes each week and I cannot hard code the name into the coding. I usually use Windows("Random Spreadsheet.xlsx").Activate to go between spreadsheets, but in this case I cannot.
Is there something that will allow me to return to Spreadsheet A no matter what it is named?

I was wondering if you can make a popup open when a user opens a spreadsheet. I have some templates i made and users continue to make the same mistakes. I was hoping to add a form/pop so when the file was opened a popup would come up with reminders. Once they press ok they can proceed.

I currently have a spreadsheet that my deparment use at work. Its just a full time equivallent sheet, nothing fancy. However I added code onto it to prevent users opening it as I was updating it.
However I went to open it and It wouldnt open. It wouldn't recognise me as being the exception. Its just a code on the workbook open that says if user is "slb090" (which is me) then do nothing, else msgbox and just a quickie sayign come back later".
I have attached the spreadsheet, in the hope someone can open this for me and remove the message so I can open it!

I have a payroll spreadsheet that is going to be placed on our network server. My boss wants me to have this spreadsheet to be protected so that one person can get in, add hours and commission, and save it up on the server. Then another person can go in to that spreadsheet, open it up to get the info and use it to cut the checks. What my problem is that the person who is making the changes does not need to see the pay rate or the total dollar amount columns, but the person who gets the data out does. Neither one of these people really know how to hide and unhide columns in Excel, so I need it to have when one password opens it, the pay rate and total pay columns are hidden, but the other password will show those columns.

I am just wondering if it is possible to insert a module or a code such that it is user specific.
In detail, there are two types of users: Administrator and User.
If it were administrator, it should ask for a password. If user, it should give the read-only or a protected form of the spreadsheet.
I just need the workbook to pop-up with a msgbox of administrator/user with a radio button or a select button. If administrator, it should ask for a password. Also, disabling the macros should not open the spreadsheet as making this would lead to nothing.

I have an Excel 2003 program that contains macros. One of the macros hides certain command bars and disables the worksheet menu bar. On close the opposite is true. The problem is, if a user uses the disable macros when opening then the worksheet menu bar and other command bars are still available. I would like to hide all of the data sheets and display another sheet that would normally be hidden displaying a message that the macros have to be enabled for the program to work correctly if disable macros is chosen. When the enable macros are used I would like the Error page to be hidden.
