Protect Or Lock Workbook BEFORE Certain Date
Jul 7, 2012How to protect or lock their spreadsheets after certain date.
My question is how to protect or lock workbooks before certain date?
Example:
I have individual woorkbooks for each week in a calendar year saved in one folder.
Is there any way that I can protect them from either being opened or if opened than not be able to save anything in them until one week before the calendar week they are designed for (or whatever date I wish to set)?
Lock/Protect Single Module
Aug 21, 2006I have a workbook(1), contains a worksheet that once filled with user entered parameters, generates data through a VBA module (macro). This module(1) is a proprietary algorithm, and the author has locked the VBA project to protect the module from being tampered with/modified (and rightly so).
I take this data and use it as input in my own algorithms to generate more data. By locking "VBA project" in that workbook(1), I can't see anyway to add my own module(2) to that particular workbook(1). I can create another workbook(2), and write a module(2) there that reads the data from the first workbook(1), but then I'm left with TWO workbooks to do a single task, both have to be opened, and its just not a very elegant way of doing things.
I've contacted the author of the proprietary module(1), and he has no problem modifying the lock protection in the workbook(1) so that only his module(1) is locked, but VBA is not really his forte, and he doesn't know how to do it, or if it is even possible. I've checked many Excel Help facilities, and could not find an answer.
1. Is there any way to lock a SINGLE VBA module within a workbook?
2. Also, is there only ONE VBA project allowed per workbook? If I could add an unprotected VBA project, I could add my own module.
I may not be understanding the entire VB architecture properly, I'm using manuals from 1993, and On-line MS Help is not that "help"ful, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Mainly I just want to find out if this is possible or if its not, in which case I'll be forced to work around it in a inelegant fashion. It just seems logical that you should be able to lock just one module.

Apr 17, 2008In the attached example, I have two fields. In the first (top), I have fields I want the user to be able to enter data (revenue/weight/skids). The information at the bottom is generated by formulas that act on the user-provided data and display the results at the bottom. The key, though, is keeping Excel-ignorant users from inadvertantly destroying the formulas and data in the middle section. I still need to display the results at each step, though, so hiding those middle fields is not an option. How can I lock only some cells within a single spreadsheet like this?

Jan 9, 2009Have a worksheet that will be used multiple times. User will enter name and employee number only on the first instance that the worksheet is opened. Would like to protect that info automatically for further usage. Most of the worksheet is protected but some cells need to remain unlocked so the "whole" sheet protection will not work.
How do I protect only specified cells, say F3, G3, H3, I3, after the user enters data thru an input box without changing any other protected cells on the sheet?

View 5 Replies View RelatedLock / Protect Rows Past Due Date
Mar 5, 2008I have a workbook list of activities that I am hoping will visualise the scheduling of routine maintenance tasks in my engineering department. The date of the most recent check is entered in row 6 and the interval in row 5. Hence the number 7 denotes a weekly check. The conditional format is such that the reds indicate that a check needs to be carried out. If the check is done on the scheduled day then a "Y" is entered into the square. This will then turn the square green. If "Y" is entered on any other day then the square turns orange to indicate the check is done, if not on time. The red squares do not change colour unless a yes is entered. This is designed to show the history of checks and give us the opportunity to show compliance to routines. What I need to do is lock the rows that have passed the current date, to prevent unscupulous modification. Thus the macro would look down column A and if the date is less than today() would lock the row. I have truncated the file as much as I can. A nice to have would be the facility for an adminstrator to go in (perhaps password protected) to make changes if necessary.

View 2 Replies View RelatedLock Cells, Protect Sheet With Password & Time Stamp
Jul 18, 2007I have a worksheet with employees names and their overtime hours worked that week. I would like to add some code to a button that will prompt for a password. If that password matches a predefiened password then lock a range of cells and place a time stamp next to the button and maybe change the button color of the button to Red. Now if the person with the password wants to change the locked cells, they can click the button again and enter the password and the button will turn green so they can make the changes. I would like the time stamp to be updated every time the cells are locked. Also wanted to have one button for every work week so about four buttons per worksheet. Here is an example of the worksheet. The range of cells I want to lock are the ones in bold.

Oct 3, 2006I tried very hard to design a leave roster for user to mark their leave application. The criteria are as follows:
1. 4 applications per date
2. a region of worksheet (i.e. "A2 to H20) will be defined for users to "click" on the cells (within the defined region) to mark their application.
3. once a cell is clicked (i.e. marked), it cannot be altered.
4. each click will automatically increase the total by 1.
I got the following code to deal with the situation but user can still click on any cell outside the region (in fact I fail to define the region).

Merits Of VBA Protect Vs Non-Protect
Jul 26, 2006I would like to protect the intellectual property of an application and have read differing opinions of the merits of protecting VBA code. What are the opinions of the experts on this forum? Are the password breaker programs so advanced that protecting code is a waste of time and only a hinderance to debugging and troubleshooting?
I am using MS Excel 2003 (11.5612) on XP.
I apologize if this topic has already been covered on this forum. I searched but did not find exactly what I was looking for. I am happy to review an old post if one exists.
