I inherited a spreadsheet from a recently let go co-worker. This spreadsheet has a lot of important financial data on it, so I really need to get into the spreadsheet. we contacted the former employee and he said he forgot the password. Is there any work around to get into the sheet?
View 2 RepliesI 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.
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 have a workbook with extensive code of wich the VBE project is locked for viewing. Since i have distributed the workbook i had some users that gets prompt for a password when trying to run some code trough a button on a sheet. I have tried recreating this error by increasing the macro security level and unticking "trust access to vbe project" since i thought that is where the problem lies.
But i had no luck in recreating the error. I came accross some posts that had a similar error when you exit/close the workbook, wich was a problem with google desktop search being installed on the machine. Any ideas on why the user is being asked for a password ?, the code that should run does NOT try to alter/change anything in the code/project itself, so that shouldnt be the problem, but i can't think of anything else.
I have a spreadsheet that on open needs to open a 2nd spreadsheet minimised and delete 2 named sheets in the 2nd spreadsheet.
On close of the first spreadsheet it should then copy 2 sheets with the same name from itself into the 2nd spreadsheet.
This is to start a spreadsheet that will track project risks and issues that I will post further details for as other functions are required.
I need to make my spreadsheet require a password to open. How do I do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have come up with the idea to create a userform to act as a login page for my project. I have the project complete and need a way to protect it. I want the userform to display an input box asking the user to enter their 'login ID'. This has to be either "SUPERVISOR" or "STAFF". Or If I have a table of 'users' and 'passwords' in sheet (USERS) to match them against that if it is easier?
Upon correct entry i need it to then display another input box asking for a 'password'. This needs to be "SHOES" for both logins. If the login is not equal to SUPERVISOR or STAFF I need a message box displaying "username incorrect". and for it then to show the input box requesting the 'login ID' again. Again if the password is not equal to "SHOES" to display a message box displaying "password incorrect" Then show the input box requesting the password. Upon correct entry for both the username and password i would like my other userform to show. This is displayed by:
Load UserForm1
UserForm1.Show
I would like the correct 'username' to be displayed in cell "D27" on the active sheet and 'password' to be displayed in cell "F27" also on the active sheet To show who is 'Logged On'. If there is a way to display the password using asterix's for security that would be useful.
A little unrelated to excel as such but helpful to many of us I think. How to set a password to open/ view any folder or directory?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a macro that opens Spreadsheet_A, copies the contents to Spreadsheet_Master, closes Spreadsheet_A, then repeats the process for Spreadsheet_B then ss_C then ss_D etc etc etc.....
Each spreadsheet is password protected, and the password is the same for all spreadsheet to stop casual browsing only. I have set the password.
When I run the macro, I have to type the password in each instance, ie 20 or more times for 2 or more files.
Anyone know the code to insert so the spreadsheet opens without my typing the password.
[It's Excel 2007, but I presume the same code as Excel 2003]
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.
I am making a database system that tracks student activity in my schools lab for people taking foreign language courses. I'm trying to make it so students must use the userform to manage they're checking in and out, and not be able to have any direct access to the Spreadsheet itself. Also, it would be nice if the whole Spreadsheet was hidden, invisible, and only the user forms could be seen.

I know of the password protect feature to open a excel file or workbook, but does anyone know if this can be done for opening a worksheet.
I want to be able to view a worksheet after a password is entered, so therefore different worksheets have different passwords.
I have a certain .xls file which is password protected.
Now i have forgot the password for opening the file. Is there any other way of opening the file without password or using a Macro.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have the following line of code to open a file and enter the password to allow modifications.
When I run the code the file opens but then the password isn't entered.
Code:
Sub Open_Test_File()
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = Application.Workbooks.Open("DesktopTest File.xls")
End Sub
This very simple little code opens a new workbook.
But if I add a password to the file that I'm going to open the password box appears.
What do I need to add to this code to automatically input this password?
I have tried putting this at the end:
Code:
Password:="123"
but this does not work?

This code opens a msgbox that asks for a password and then unlocks certain cells based on what the password is. I have 140 of these workbooks. I need to be able to open them all and change one cell in each file, save it and close. I've gotten the macro written to open, change and save the files, but I am still having to type the 'password' 140 times. Is there a way to bypass it?
I have not asked for this Dialog Box, but it appears when I open the workbook.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet (don't we all) that is currently password protected - you double click the file and need to input a password before it will open.
I have some code that will protect a workbook from changes and only unlock for specific usernames, and i wonder if there is some code that will do the following:
-User opens spreadsheet
-VBA looks at the username trying to open the sheet, for this example the username is Paul.Smith
-Paul.Smith is not one of the people who should have regular access to this sheet - so the VBA requests a password from him prior to opening the sheet.
My username opens the same sheet (galvin.paddy), VBA see's that my name is one of the 'Authorised Users', removes the password and opens the sheet for me ready for use.

I am having an issue with a macro to open password protected workbooks. The macro works just fine in opening the files and whatnot, but for some reason it prompts me to enter the password again once the file has been opened. Funny thing is I can either hit OK or hit Cancel and it goes to the next file. All files open correctly, I was just curious as to why this is happening and how to correct it?
