Hidden Tabs And Passwords

Oct 13, 2007

I have been doing a lot of reading on the forums here on hiding tabs and passwords for my current project...and suffice to say I am completely...totally...stuck.

Basically, I have 11 different tabs that need to remain hidden until, the person clicks on a commandbutton which brings up a userform that asks for a password.

Now - I have it set up that the user prior to this stage chooses thier location and it populates a label1 field on the password request userform.

My biggest problem is this: I cannot seem to figure out how, in using a userform, to get the password to be recognized as TRUE....here is the

Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
a = UserForm12.TextBox1

If a "password" Then
MsgBox "Wrong Password"
Sheets("RatesII").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
End If
End Sub

Now, my idea is that once the correct password is used, the userform dissmisses itself, the correct sheet is activated and unhidden for viewing and the user goes about doing what they do on this sheet. I will also have a button on the sheet itself titled something like "Update" which will save the sheet, and re-hide it and call up the userform once again...something I am a little scetchy on at this time though I immagine I will figure it out.

Format All Cells In All Sheets To Protection Hidden On Visible And Hidden Tabs

Feb 28, 2014

I am trying to format all cells on all sheets (hidden or otherwise) as "Locked" so when the sheets are protected the user can't see the formulas. This macro individually selects every sheet in the book and applys the formatting. Is there a way to modify this code to accomplish the same thing without having it actually select every sheet? The only reason it is an issue is that after running the macro you end up on the last sheet in the book.

Protecting Hidden Tabs

Jan 6, 2012

So I have a hidden tab I want to keep hidden. I know how to protect a sheet/workbook but I also have a Pivot tab I want people to be able to double click to get the background detail. Unfortunately protecting a workbook doesn't allow new tabs to be created. Is there anyway of making this happen? Essentially, keep my tab hidden and allow a new tab to be created once pivot data is double clicked.

Unhiding Hidden Tabs

Jun 6, 2007

I am very new to this forum so this probably has been covered (although I searched but didn't see it.

Anyway, I am trying to figure out how to unhide multiple tabs instead of one at a time.

Two Different Passwords Without Debug

May 9, 2008

I have a problem with a HUGE macro project I'm working on. The macro itself isn't huge, but it's being applied to about 10,000 files. The macro is updating information on three spreadsheets in each workbook, but the problem is that the password protection (and Macro in general) fails to unlock when the password was entered in UPPERCASE. So the password is "king" and/or "KING" depending on the sheet. There is no way of predicting which sheets will be caps and which will not, but it's frustrating when my macro stops every 5 files with an error because of a wrong password (even though it's always one of those two).

Is there an IF THEN statement or something that I can do so that the macro doesn't stall every 30 seconds to 2 minutes... I have 10,000 files to crawl through.

Controlling Several Passwords

Jul 28, 2006

how to liberate only the sheets already opened by this user, even after he/she has closed the workbook? It means that when this user re-open the workbook, only the password for this step (workbook) and of course for the sheets still closed (not yet visited), will be requested...

There will be about 20 users, accessing the same file (at least 8 or 9 at the same time), and each one has a different level. For this reason the workbook is also protected: depending on the username and password, I'm trying let excel "knows" what sheet each user can open, without type a password again. trying to illustrating: (all users and password are added by me, using a MasterSheet)

user1 ----- already unprotected sheet9 ----- can open sheet1 to 9 (no password, even re-opening the workbook)
to open the sheet10, a username and a password are required

user2 ----- unprotected sheet3 ----- can open sheet1 to 3 (no password, even re-opening the workbook)
to open the sheet4, a username and a password are required

............. and so on.........

Passwords And Drop Down Lists

May 3, 2009

How would I write a marco that requires a password when a certain word in a drop down list is selected, bearing in mind that when this word is selected certain cells in the worksheet are no longer locked - in other words the certain cell can only changed by a specific person in the drop down list which when this person is selected a password is required.

Generate Unique Log In Passwords

Aug 26, 2006

I have a list of e-mail addresses stored in an Excel file (column A). I need to generate some passwords basing on these e-mail addresses which would then be automatically stored in the same row as the passwords, only this time in column B. The passwords could be numbers based on some text to number conversion (which I could additionally add some mathematical operation to, to make the password harder to crack). The passwods would then be distributed among the owners of these e-mail addresses.

Multiple Passwords In 1 Workbook

Nov 3, 2006

My workbook contains a number of worksheets - currently nine. Each worksheet details a specific "business unit" for the company I work for. Using VB, is it possible for Excel to request a password upon opening the workbook? If so, the specific password input would determine the specific worksheet(s) that are available for viewing.

Create Alphanumeric Passwords

May 14, 2007

I would like to use an excel spreadsheet to generate a series of passwords. The password must include alphanumeric content, and be at least 10 characters long, and case sensitive.

For example: 14sH2dA456a

Thought about concatenting each variable, but do not know how to control the random variable creation in a spreadsheet?

I have looked at RAND but can't figure out how to use it to any avail?

Protecting Document With Multiple Passwords?

Feb 17, 2014

I have recorded a macro and added this to a button on the document. I was wondering if it will be possible that each user who works on the document can use a specific password to unlock cells and autolock once document is saved. I have a seperate document that has the users and their specific passwords on.

Generate Usernames & Matching Passwords

Jun 7, 2009

I need some code that will generate passwords from a combination of a master password and other words such as a user name. I have seen references to use of the MD5 algorithm but would not know if or how this could be incorporated into vba.
This would be used in an workbook which is distributed to different users. In order to use the workbook, they would need to enter their user name and password. The macro would check if these were correct or not. Because the password is generated by the macro, it avoids having to have them hidden in the workbook somewhere.

Automatically Generate Passwords For Multiple Sheets

Feb 20, 2014

I have a workbook in which users record the time spent on various activities. I have some code which will copy the worksheet template and create a worksheet for each user (in a defined list of names). Then each worksheet needs to be password protected so only the user can see it (I can do this individually by manually writing in each sheet name and setting a password but will have 80+ users for some groups and it will take ages...)

What I would like to be able to do is also automatically generate a password for each user (combining a word and automatic number e.g. "EMidsTeam123") it may be possible to insert this into the code I already have (which I have copied )...

VB:

Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Dim strPass As String
Dim lCount As Long
If Sh.CodeName <> "Sheet1" Then
'Set sLast variable to the last active sheet This is then used to return the user to the last sheet they were

Multiple Users With Passwords And Admin Can View All Of Them

May 28, 2014

The problem - there are multiple users, each one has its own excel file, but it has to be password protected. I assume there is a simple VBA script or something. I found something here - User name and password to open excel file . I guess I don't need it to be that complicated. I haven't gotten it to work yet, so I can't tell if it's what I need.

Also there is an Admin or whatever that has to view all of the users excel files in one excel file. Is this even possible?

Multiple User Logins & Passwords In Workbook

Nov 4, 2006

how to create user logins and passwords for five users for one workbook. Also, preferrably to have a message to prompt for entering the user name and password at the first worksheet (e.g. the main page where there it is usually the company logo page) when the workbook is open.

E.g. there are five employees and we would like to create five different logins and passwords for them. So when they open the workbook, it would be the first sheet of the workbook to appear first and they would then be prompt to enter their username and password. If one of the employees leave the company, we can still quite easily change the name to the new employee.

Excel 2010 :: Protect Worksheet With Multiple Passwords

Feb 16, 2014

I have an excel file with three worksheets in it. I can happily protect each sheet with a different password but what i want to be able to do is the following:

a. have a global administrator password for all the sheets - so i assume set the same password to protect the whole sheet
b. have individual passwords that only allow the user to insert rows and change data within restricted columns, i.e. can only edit columns A:Z and cannot manipulate any formulas within that range A:Z

I have excel 2010 if that makes any difference.

Excel 2010 :: Hiding And Locking Columns And Formulas Together Via Passwords?

Mar 8, 2014

Is there a way in Excel 2010 that the administrator of a excel document can not only hide some columns but lock the columns by some kind of password so it remains hidden? I know user can hide/unhide columns but can some columns be hiddens and locked with passwords?

Secondly can formulas like IF and vlookups statements be hidden and locked with some kind of password?

In maybe via VBA or by some other means, is this possible?

The end user should only be able to type and select certain cells only.

Old Tabs Not Behaving Like New Tabs

Jun 25, 2008

I'm using Excel '03SP2 on Win 2000sp4. I believe I have a case where old tabs originally written in Excel ' 97 behave differently than new tabs in the same workbook, which is saved in 2003 format.

Specifically, the formula ="PLAN" & budyr-1 where budyr is a named range on a different tab containing 2008 . This formula yields PLAN 2007 on a new tab and #VALUE! on an old tab.

How do I get Excel to update the old tabs so that they behave as Excel 2003 tabs?

Hidden Formatting

Aug 8, 2008

I am using the VLookup function with two seperate sheets. The first sheet is what I have created. The second sheet is one that was given to me.

I know how to build the format as I have done it numerous times in the past. This one only works if I copy the data into notepad, then copy it back into excel. Then it will work. I have looked at the formatting and I cannot see any differences.

way to get it to work without the notepad part?

Hidden Sheets
