I have a spreadsheet where only certain cells are to be edited by he user. After editing a cell I don't want the cursor to move. option/edit/move selection after enter is unchecked. All works as expected. I protect the sheet using options "select unprotected cells" is true, "Selected protected cells" is false. This seems to override the "move selection" turned off property. The option box does not work when unchecked.
I have searched the general forum and programming forum and see no cure for this. I tried a one line macro "Application.MoveAfterReturn = False" thinking if I set it programmatically, it will work. It does not. Is there a few lines of code that I could add to a ThisWorkbook macro that would reocord the current cursor location and set location to it after hitting enter? Or possibly an even simpler solution that I'm overlooking?
I currently have a problem when retrieving data from an external document that is password protected. The below routine causes Excel to request the password to the file multiple times. Using the 'SendKeys' function provides a slight workaround although I am very keen to remove this. It also doesn't appear to update links once the routine has run though a couple of the 'For' loops.
I have it set so that the user has to input the first password request, but the 'SendKeys' simply hits enter for the rest of the requests. This doesn't stop the cells from being updated for the first run of the 'For m' routine but can fail on the following runs. Sometimes the second loop works, sometimes it doesn't and the user will have to manually update the links through the 'Edit Links' tool.
I tried turning Application.DisplayAlerts to false after the first password request but that didn't stop it from appearing. If it had, I was going to use the ActiveWorkbook.UpdateLink Type:=xlExcelLinks command to allow the user to update the links at the end.
Code: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() 'Application.ScreenUpdating = False Dim d, m As Integer
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?
I have a workbook given to me by a coworker who password protected it. I generally use the tab button to navigate when adding information to cells with the number pad. I am unable to use tab when navigating his sheet until the protection is removed. How can I fix this so that I can tab through it when protected?
In my excel spreadsheet I used to be able to enter a number then use my arrow key to move one cell to the right and then enter the next number. Now when I enter a number in a hightlighted cell and use the arrow key to move one cell to the right the cell does not move my page shifts to the right but the highlighted cell stays in the same spot. I must of hit some kind of key combination to cause this. how to fix this?
Would any know a macro code to make the enter key function when used move down one cell and to the left ? Example. I am in cell B1 and I hit enter and the cursor moves to cell A2.
I am trying to use visual basic editor in excel. I have all ready set up my user form where information can be entered, but I ave having trouble getting the information that is entered in the user form into the correct cells in excel.
I am wanting my information to enter the tables and then automatically move into the next available cells below.
Private Sub cmdadd_Click() Dim iRow As Long Dim ws As Worksheet Set ws = Worksheets("details of cars in stock") iRow = ws.Cells(Rows.Count, 1) _ .End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row If Trim(Me.txtreg.Value) = "" Then Me.txtreg.SetFocus MsgBox "please enter a registraion number" Exit Sub End If ws.Cells(iRow, 1).Value = Me.txtreg.Value Me.txtreg.Value = ""
Can I make the cursor use only 2 columns? In other words, I know that when I scan barcode data into A1, I have the cursor automatically move to B1. BUT, once I've scanned data into B1, how do I make the cursor automatically move to A2?
I am using Excel 2010 and I have a password protected workbook with password protected sheets that uses several macros. Most of them, in order to run, have to un-protect the sheet and then re-protect it again. This has been accomplished easily enough by adding ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:= "mypassword" and ActiveSheet.Protect Password:= "mypassword" to the appropriate places in the script. All of my macros, which do various things like sorting and moving data, deleting blank rows, displaying dialog boxes containing warning messages etc. run fine.
My problem is this: when I password protect the sheets manually, I have checked the following options in the "Protect Sheet" dialog box. Under "Allow users of this worksheet to" I have checked 1)Select unlocked cells and 2)Format cells. After entering my password and closing the dialog box my sheet is protected, but I can edit cells in the manner my allowances permit. However, once I run any of the macros that un-protect and re-protect the sheet, I remain able to select and edit unlocked cells (practically, for my purposes, this means that I can input data which will appear in the default font size and color of the sheet) but I cannot format cells (which, practically, for my purposes would allow me to occasionally change the font color and size of the data). Naturally, after running a macro, the other cell-formatting options are unavailable to me as well. Is there any way to get my manual selections to remain in place after running a macro that functions as mine do? Or is there any way to make my manual selections the default settings for a protected sheet?
I have spent ages creating a work diary and have protected the sheets using VBA however on finishing the sheet one important thing that needs to happen is the ability to copy and paste information from the boxes to another worksheet. i.e MONDAY - SUNDAY
Does anyone know if there is a way to unprotect a sheet. The person who created this spreadsheet no longer works for our company and although we can see the spreadsheet, the formulas are hidden so we can't figure out where the data is being pulled in from. Any ideas?
I have a workbook whose worksheets use protection (don't want my calculations stomped on).
When the Protection is on, the search function does not work. You call it up, write what you are looking for, it accepts it, and then when you tell it to search it ignores you.
When you turn the protection off, the search function works just fine.
HOWEVER....Other workbooks I have with protection on its sheets do not share this problem, just this one workbook. And the problem is on all sheets in this workbook. The problem is not on any of the sheets in the other workbooks. I can't see anything different between them, but then I may not know what to look at.
Q1. How can we insert new rows in a protected sheet?
For example: In the attached sample protected excel sheet "insert rows.xlsx" , if for Employee ID and Name fields, the user has more no. of records than provided, how can he insert new rows considering the fact that Company ID and Name field are locked.
Or any way to address this issue via some other method like adding a scrollbar,etc.
I've locked certain columns on my worksheet so that users cannot overtype target dates etc. I've password protected the worksheet.
The password protection means that for some reason the users can't use the autofilters that are on the header row.
Can someone help me solve this problem; I still need the locked cells and password protection on the sheet but the success of the sheet depends on users being able to filter for specific rows using the autofilter....
When I protect my sheet and have the option to allow the users to autofilter the sheet, how come it doesn't work? I want to allow people to autofilter the data in the worksheet but not modify the contents of the cell.
I have a question relating to the use of autofilter in a protected sheet.
My code is working fine in setting the autofilter and locking down the sheet but a user then loses the ability to use the (Data - Filter - Show All) menu button.
Is there a way to have the worksheet protected, allow the use of the auto filters, and allow the use of the show all button?
I am looking for VBA code that will unprotect the Workbook, prompt the user for the number of rows to be added, find the last row in the Worksheet, insert the requested number and reprotect the Worksheet. I would like the location where the rows are inserted to NOT be dependent on the "active" cell.
In the attachment you will see an example of what I am trying to accomplish. What I am trying to do is find VBA code that will move data by date from an (Entry) sheet to a (Historical) sheet. I want to enter a date in B3 on the (Entry) sheet. I then enter data into C3. What I would like to happen is when the data is entered into C3 the sheet goes and finds the same date that I entered in B3 and copies that data from C3 into Column E of the (Historical) sheet.
I have a protected sheet to avoid delete of functions. In a specific area, however, i have merged cells of five columns in rows. Because in these lines i have write some text and overcomes the rows, after, what i do is: i unmerge the rows and choose 3 rows from 5 columns together and merge. Thus, the text is in one framework. In fact, every time, i want to merge different regions, but always i want to merged any areas who have marked with the mouse. Then, i delete the text and i need to redo the context of three lines, three separate lines. I hope you understand what i need.MergeAndUnMerge.xlsm
I want to allow user copy(Ctrl + C) and paste(Ctrl + V) a row. because some columns are locked and the sheet is protected. so, when user doing so, a warning dialog is show and can't do the paste.
so, I want to make it available in code. what I want to do is add some codes in this function:
VB: Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) If Application.CutCopyMode = True Then 'there are someing in clipboard Sheet1.Unprotect 'unprotect sheet, so can paste End If
and in Worksheet_Change function, I protect the sheet again.
But I find that when I do Sheet1.Unprotect , the clipboard is empty! I just want to allow user can copy and paste a row, the locked cell's value can be ignored.
We are needing to do a two tier sort in a protected spreadsheet. Is this possible?
The two columns that need to be sorted have protected cells between them.
If there a way to ad a button that will automatically do this sort for the user... as in can I add a button some how in one of the empty cells that will do it?
Here is the sheet. [URL] ..........
Looks like I need to sort column A thru Z, except W.
I am working on an excel table in my worksheet contains formulas and locked cells. lets say table range is from column "a" to "f" and there is formula on cell in columns "c" and "f". I just locked cells in column "c" and "f" to prevent people changing the formula accidentally. but when the sheet is protected i am not able to insert or delete rows as the rows has locked cells in columns "c" and "f".
I tried the below macro to unlock the sheet, insert row and lock the sheet again:
[Code] .....
So by running the macro it asks the password and do the job but the issue is it needs password and i do not want people to know my password. I don't want them able to unlock the workbook and make any undesired changes. I want them to be allowed insert or delete rows and input data in unlocked cell. I want the sheet to be locked all the time and only when people want to insert or delete a row it be unlocked and be locked again after inserting or deleting whit no need to insert password in this case only.
I am using Outlining on a sheet called "Today".The sheet is manually protected but now the outlining does not work as it says sheet protected.Is there a code i can use so that i can still have the Outlining working in a protected sheet.
