How To Protect Multiple Sheets In Workbook
Jun 19, 2006How to protect multiple sheets in a workbook and not having to protect them 1 by 1. I have copied and pasted all the different macro's/visual basic script that has been posted for that purpose, but I can't get it to work and I'm always getting an error. The error from visual basic says "compile error: invalid outside procedure" and then the visual basic screen shows the following:
Range ("AM52")
If Ans >= 0 Then
"+."
It does not like the "AM52" part because it is highlighted in the error message.
Also, the error I get from recording my own macro step by step is "Run time error 40036" from visual basic.
How To Protect Cells/columns In Multiple Sheets In A Workbook
Sep 9, 2009I'm trying to protect the contents of columns in multiple sheets in a workbook. I've tried to group the columns ( - months, i.e. sept, oct, nov 09 through to march 10) but when I go to Protection options the 'sheet' protection option is not available, all I can do is protect or unprotect the entire workbook.
I've also tried to protect the workbook, but individually set the specific columns in each sheet to be protected (repetitious but seemingly unavoidable), but this doesn't work well either as there's now a mix of a protected workbook and protected columns, both with individually set passwords to unprotect... which seems a bit silly.
There must be a way around this? - the columns are H, J, K and L, and the entire contents of the summary sheet '2009-10 Financial Year'... basically I'd like to be able to protect all of the contents of all of the cells here, ideally just with one password.

I have managed to create the Userform but what the code will look like and where to place the VBA code that will make it work, Also i would like to automatically save the sheet/s as i switch between them. so that any updates made to the sheet will be automatically saved when i move to the next sheet and also when i protect or close the workbook.

Oct 1, 2013I am trying to have a macro that separates a list with unique values in column a, copy the results, open a file name in column AG, and then paste the copied stuff into the open workbook.
Currently, it runs, but when I copy to the new sheet, the thing I want goes where I want it to, but I also get an extra sheet1. how can i change this so the sheet1 doesn't get pasted in?

Open Workbook - Hide Sheets/splash Screen
Oct 6, 2009I have a workbook that has worksheets that serve as data input pages for the user.
I have control boxes created by the forms toolbar.
I created a splash screen that is to be launched when the file is opened.
Instead, often the last sheet that the user was on when they last saved the file (usually but not always the worksheet called "Main Menu") is seen first.
I understand that not all the sheets can be hidden - that one must be unhidden.
So I created a sheet called "Background" that is a solid color with no gridelines.
Objective:
When the file is opened, I want the "Background" sheet to be seen first and then the splash screen to be initiated.
Now - when the user opens the file, the Main Menu worksheet is seen for a few seconds (or whatever the last sheet was on before it was last saved), then it disappears and the solid background screen is shown with the splash screen. When the splash screen ends, the "Background" sheet disappears.
Here is the code that I have in the workbook
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim wks As Worksheet
On Error Resume Next
For Each wks In ThisWorkbook
If wks.Name "Background" Then
wks.Visible = False
End If
Next wks
End Sub
What has to be changed so that the first sheet that is seen upon opening the file is the "Background"; then the splash screen happens; then it returns to the Main Menu sheet?
Prompt Open Closed Workbook Then Copy Range And Paste Special Into Open Workbook
Apr 6, 2013I have created a spreadsheet some time ago and have been asked to improve on it but I'm rusty with VBA.
I have an automated ordering system that saves each sent order as the date e.g "05-04-2013.xls" but the management team want a graph with the data for the last 4 weeks compared. I have created a seperate workbook called "consumables report.xls" which has a column with the products listed followed by columns "Quantity" and "cost" which is repeated for the 4 weeks of the month.
I want to add a button to prompt the user to choose the saved order e.g "05-04-2013.xls" (all orders saved in same directory) to copy and paste the quantity and cost columns (c8,D69) into "consumables report.xls". I got this to work earlier but it would only paste the formulas and not the values. So I need
A prompt to open workbook
Copy range (c8,d69)
Close work sheet
Paste special .value (c8,D69)
I dont care if it has to open the workbook to copy the data as this will only be used once a month so it dosnt matter how slow the code is.
week 1 week 2 week 3 week 4
Product
quantity
cost
quantity

Make Workbook Open- Open Correct Month Workbook
Jul 8, 2006I have Monthly sales sheets that import my cash register data into them. I wanted to set them up to do everything without being there. So I have my task manager open excel at 9:30pm everyday and it runs the macro to import the data into the correct day of the month. Here is the workbook
open macro-
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim dTime As Date
dTime = Time
If dTime >= TimeValue("9:30 PM") And _
dTime < TimeValue("9:40 PM") Then
ImportData
End If
End Sub
This is in my July spreadsheet only. So is there a way to make it know which month spreadsheet to open on the 1st of the month? So come August 1st it will automatically open the August workbook and input the data for the first day? By using the date?

Protect Excel Files To Open Only On Designated Computers?
Jul 16, 2010Is it possible to protect an excel file such that it will open up only on designated computers (identified by the computer name or some unique hardware identification like MAC address etc)?I was wondering if the VB editor can be used to do the same.
Let me put my requirement in detail:
I have an excel file "123" created in one computer (named=A). On this computer this file can be opened by anyone.I write a code such a way that, this particular file when copied on to other computers say (B,C & D) would open up as usual. But on computer E or any other computer, it should not open.
I cannot use password protect feature on the file as "n" number of users will be accessing this file on those designated computers. I was finding few of the clients copying the files on their personal drives or email without proper consent.If its possible, I would like to employ the same on few of my word (.doc) files as well.
Automatically Open New Workbook After 1st Workbook Open 4 Seconds
Nov 6, 2009I have a presentation that I open from a short-cut. After the "Welcome Page" is opened, I want to open a second workbook in a new instance of Excel after 4 seconds.
I think that I can open the new instance of excel, but I don't know how to activate the macro after 4 seconds.
I'm sure there is a function someplace for this that can be used in a macro.
Then, after the second Workbook is opened, I want the Welcome Page "Workbook" closed, leaving the second Worbook open.
Macro To Protect Sheets
Mar 20, 2008I have a workbook with some sheets password protected and other sheets not protected.
I have a macro that unprotects the sheets, but it requires the password to be typed multiple times.
I want to put the password into the macro so it doesn't require manual entry of the password lots of times.
Each sheet has the same password, so I would expect to enter it for the first sheet only.
What I have came from a simple macro recorder selecting each sheet in turn:
Sheets("wages").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Sheets("Comparative").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Protect Sheets Using Macro ..

Macro: Protect & Unprotect Sheets
Nov 9, 2006Is there an easy way (using a macro) to unprotect and protect sheets?
Most sheets in a certain workbook are protected except a few cells that are open for manual entry. Because I have links to other cells in other workbooks, I must unprotect those sheets/fields before I can edit the links. And I MUST ensure all sheets are protected again when I'm done with my work.
Also, is it possible to password-protect that specific macro so I'm the only one who can run it to unprotect and protect?
Unprotect & Protect All Sheets With Password
Dec 21, 2006I have a series of workbooks where multiple users are entering data. Most of the cells are locked, and the worksheets are password protected. From time to time, I have to make global changes to all the workbooks. I've recorded a macro to open all the workbooks, but now, I'm running into a problem because for speed, I'd like to unprotect the worksheets and "re-protect" them without having to enter the password 3 million times (exagerration, but not much). What is the proper syntax of code to have VBA enter the password automatically (it is the same for all sheets).

I found code on CFO.com that got me half way there. It protects all the spreadsheets, but it does not password protect the macro itself, meaning that anybody can step into the macro and unlock everything at the click of a button.
The code looks like this.

What can I do to prevent people from stepping into the macro, or prompt a password to actually use the macro itself?
