Sep 29, 2011I am trying to change a password on a workbook. I have already gone to encrypt document and changed the password. However, when I open the workbook again, my new password works but another popup shows and asks me for another password for write access.

Apply Password Protection For Different Worksheets In Single Excel Workbook
Apr 2, 2012I used VBA codes to apply different passwords for different worksheets in a single excel workbook. They worked fine. Then i applied a password to the VBA code itself through the VBA project properties. Also worked.
But my problem is that, if any one enters a wrong password to open any of the worksheets, the VBA will open an error message window and when "end" option is clicked, the VBA code will open without any prompt for the password.Thus the entire purpose is defeated.
Excel 2010 :: Hide Worksheet Password In VBA Code Without Project Protection
Nov 5, 2012I have a 2010 excel workbook with several locked worksheet (to which I manage the PW). I and another staff member manage different section of the macro but the other staff member doesn't have access to the locked areas.
Is there a way I can encrypt the password within VBA so it's not visible to the other staff member?
Locking the VBAProject doesn't work as the other staff member has to be able to edit his VBA section.
Many staff run the macro (via a button) and don't need to access the Macro and don't have access to the protected sheets.
I understand excel isn't ideal with PW protection for people wanting to bypass the protection and this isn't an issue.
Password Protection :: Asking For Password Of An Old Deleted File
May 27, 2009When opening a new Excel file, it is asking me for a password to an old excel file that was password protected, which I have deleted from my computer. It is still asking for this password every time I open a new or existing file. When I hit cancel it lets me open the file.

Jan 2, 2005We had an Excel worksheet that is used everyday suddenly pop up with protection. I have used protection before, but this one never had a password. We put in every known password we use, but none worked. I resigned to re-typing the worksheet, then, in between Friday night, and Saturday noon, when most of the office is out, a different Excel worksheet has the same problem. We are using Excel 97.

Dec 30, 2012I know how to protect a worksheet with a password so that no one can amend the contents or view the formulas in the cells. And then we can un-protect the worksheet by clicking on the "review" tab in excel 2007 and so on. But recently I came across an excel sheet which was password protected and my query is that the "Review" tab was greyed out. What kind of protection was this that clicking on "review" tab option is also unavailable. And how does these kind of sheets get unlocked then.

Password Protection
Aug 28, 2007I use the following piece of code to show/hide certain worksheets in a workbook. To access the hidden sheets, a command button runs the code. It works very well, except that the password is openly displayed in the message box (as opposed to returning asterisks for the typed characters).

Excel 2007 :: Password Protect Sheet But Allow Filtering And Sorting
Jan 30, 2014I am using Excel 2007 and I have a worksheet with multiple columns, some of these columns are protected and some are not.
I then lock the worksheet with a password so the user can't edit certain cells that are protected but can modify the unprotected cells, the problem is the user cannot use the filter or sort the workbook.
Is there a way to allow filtering or sorting but still lock down the worksheet.

Protection Password Memory
Jan 27, 2010I have tried Tools/Options/Security Password to modify, but it can still be saved as a copy to the network which becomes very confusing to many. If I use Tools/Potect Sheet, I need to re-enter the password for all sheets twice. I am trying have it so that everyone is read only, select people can edit (with same password). Password protect all sheets and the workbook with the same password everytime when the workbook is closed
Basically 2 questions
1) Is there a way of remembering a password so that when the workbook is closed it and all sheets are automatically protected with the same password every time
2) Is it possible to have it not copied unless it is opened by an editor
Password Protection Not Working
May 29, 2009I have a macro that needs to unprotect the sheet before it does what it needs to do. The sheet has a password (i.e. it is not just protected). the macro runs fine but when I go back to the sheet and try to unprotect it, no password is required. simply clicking on Unprotect works and I am nopt prompted for the password in the macro.
I realise that they are not the most secure things anyway but the people who are going to using this will mess around enough to try and unprotect the sheet but if they were to be promted for the password they would stop looking.

Cannot Change Protection Password
Jul 19, 2014I have a spreadsheet that was given to me, which I used as a template. It already had password protection in it for each worksheet, and the macros are also written to unprotect before performing the actions, the re-protect at the end. Everything works fine except I cannot change the password. The thing is is that the password in the macro code is not the same as the actual password which you have to type in when unprotecting the worksheets.
For example the password in the code is "IPP" and the password you have to actually enter into the unprotect sheet box is "AAAABBBABBB&", yet all the macros still work like this. When I attempt to unprotect the sheet (with the AAAA... code) and re-write the password codes in the macros to say "###" then re-protect the sheet with the new password and run the macros it'll work fine, but when I save and close and then re-open the password required to unprotect the sheet reverts back to the "AAAABBB...." and then the macros stop working because the passwords don't match (even though they didn't match before!!!)
There is no encryption password or workbook password as far as I can tell, only the worksheet protection. Why cannot I no get the password changed?
Auto_open And Password Protection
May 3, 2007I have an auto_open module that runs a couple of other small sub routines, the query I have is it possible to hide the active window from a sub?
Because it does not seem to work for me, I can step through (F8) but when I open the workbook it just flikers but does not hide it's self.
I want to hide the work book as there is nothing that the users need to see, it just has VBA code to prcess data. There is a menu item created on the command bar so the user can run the code.
I have a pasword on the VBA code would this cause issues?
Sub Auto_Open()
my_auto_open
Add_Workbook_Menu_And_Items
End Sub

Dim w As Window
For Each w In Workbooks("Star_Plus_Hindi_MKII.xls").Windows

Spreadsheet Password Protection
Jul 24, 2008I 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.

Oct 25, 2009I want to be able to put password protection on a button in a spreadsheet. It doesn't need to be secure, as it's just to prevent accidental changes by 4 year olds.

Password Protection & Distribute
Dec 15, 2009Is there a tool that can make an Excel application behave like a “real” software? Meaning, the user will still be able to do what I planned for him to do with the file, BUT it will be very difficult for the more-than-average user to “crack” any password protections I have applied to the file? (Something like an MDE file in Access, perhaps?) The reason I am asking is because I have invested a lot of time and efforts into creating an application that I wish to sell to some of my clients, and don’t want them to easily find their way into the formulas and macros I have placed in the file.
The protection tool does not have to be an Excel tool, necessarily, but it should not require any programming skills (because I don’t have them. If there isn’t such a tool? My application contains User Forms (for input), a Database (with Auto Filters and formulas) and some Pivot Table reports. BTW, my application was created in Excel 2003 but should also be used by users with Excel 2007.

Jul 20, 2006See the attachment. Once you enable it. A userform will ask you for a password. Enter "aes" that will let you in.
My question is, when I enter the wrong password the first time, a userform popsup and asks for the correct the password. once I do place the correct password in the 2nd attempt. The file gets deleted!
It is not suppose to happen. I understand if I entered the password wrong twice the deleteing should take place.
Worksheet Protection With Password
Jan 13, 2007I have a workbook where I need to protect the sheets with a password. However, for certain macros contained in the workbook to run the sheets need to be unprotected. I know the code to unprotect the sheet but the password is required. I do not want other users to know this password.
What I need is the code to protect a worksheet with a password. Then, when a macro runs, to unprotect without user having to enter the password and reprotect with the original password when the macro has completed its run. note: I am NOT looking for any form of password breaking code!!
Bypassing Password Protection
Jan 27, 2007The spreadsheet basically copies data by looking in all workbooks in different folders (27 in total) and copies the data across. The only problem is that it keeps asking for the password on all of the spreadsheets when it is opening up the files (all have the same password) - how do I get the code to "know" the code and bypass asking for it?

Excel 2007 :: Hide Sheets On Opening And Password Protect Viewing
Nov 1, 2009I 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.
