Password Prompt - VBA Code Advice
May 11, 2006
I have created a workbook that mostly works with VBA codes. Within the code I have ensured that certain worksheets remain hidden. However, I have also written a macro to access what I called the ADMIN worksheet, which has several commands enabling updates and troubleshooting. Long story short, I would ideally like to prevent users from accessing that worksheet. I have already created a prompt (Msgbox) asking the user if he/she wishes to proceed with the macro but I would prefer being able to have a password prompt to run the macro.

I need to put together a macro, which will be assigned to a command button, that will prompt the user for a pre-specified password, and, if the password is correct, return a pre-specified value in a different cell. Is there any way to do this?
To put it in perspective, at my company we have approval sheets that need to be signed by several executives that are scattered all over the building. The first executive gets the copy, signs it, sends it off, etc. They tend to dissappear on occasion, so we are looking to make it all electronic, where they can access the file in a shared folder, and the if they enter their password correctly, their initials are input into the specified cell. They can than save the file for the next executive to do the same.

I am trying to complete a toolbar that will lock and unlock all the sheets in a workbook. While I can set the password automatically I'd like to have the macro ask for the password instead of hardcoding it.
Here is the code I currently have and works so long as I have already set the password in the workbook to match what is in the macro

I have created an Excel sheet that retrieves data from a ODBC source. I have created a macro using macro recorder to refresh the data by re-connecting to the database. However, the connection requires a password prompt and when the macro is run, you are still required to enter the password.
Is there anyway to make the macro so that the password is automatically entered and the user will just have to press a button to fully run the query update?

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 currently have an excel based application with VBA code. I'm trying to add some controls around the app by prompting user for login and password credentials prior to ODBC connection at runtime. So when application is launched, prompt appears, user enters login and password, if correct, it goes on to verify user has ODBC connection at runtime.

When I close one excel document, I get prompted for a password.. And it won't close (I don't know the password) The only way I can get it away is by terminating it in task manager. I have read alot of threads in here, where the solutions should be to uninstall Google Desktop..

when sending an email in code from Excel through Outlook, the following Microsoft Office Outlook dialog appears during code execution in Office releases since 2002:
A Program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf.
Do you want to allow this?
If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No".
Two buttons: [Yes] [No]
Question
Has anyone used or developed code that bypasses this prompt, and if so, would you please post an example of your code here. What I would like is a macro in VBA and / or API that you know from your own first-hand experience has worked for you, that emails an Excel attachment from Excel, using Outlook (not Outlook Express) as the email client, which bypasses the above prompt.....................

I have used the following Macro that deletes the Macro code. It then saves the file and quits excel.
*************************************
Sub removeAllCode()
Dim awi
Dim awcl As Integer
Dim count As Integer
Dim i As Integer 'loop counter
On Error Resume Next
count = ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents.count
For i = 1 To count
Set awi = ActiveWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents.Item(i)
awcl = awi.CodeModule.CountOfLines
awi.CodeModule.DeleteLines 1, awcl
Next i
Set awi = Nothing
ThisWorkbook.Save
Application.Quit
End Sub
*************************************
However when I open the Excel File, I still get the Macro Prompt. I have checked in Macro list as well as in VB Editor and no Macro code exists
If I have the file manually (or do a save as) and then reopen the file, I no longer get the Macro prompt.
I have tried various examples listed in different forums/sites but nothing works.

I have code to open another workbook and run a specific macro. I plan to then take that and copy it over to my workbook.
The problem I am encountering is when I run this macro, at the end of the code, a form/msg pops up stating it is complete. This then automatically stops my code from running (from my original workbook). How do I close this form in order to keep my code running?

Is there a way to use cmd prompt via vba?
I would like to run "HOSTNAME" and have that displayed as msgbox text.
I am hoping its fairly simple and diverse so I can just change the cmd code to suit.
E.g.
Code:
private sub gethost()
dim host as long
host = (CMDRUN) "HOSTNAME"
msgbox "your host name is " & host
There must be a way so would like to see but I am struggling to get results on search engines.

Basically, in the "Thisworkbook" code , i have some code in the Workbook_BeforeClose section. Currently , it autosaves the workbook in a folder i have specified.
However, i need to add some code.I want to check that a certain cell has a value in it before the user closes the workbook, and if the cell is empty, show a messagebox asking him to enter a value.
I know how to get a messagebox to pop up, the only thing is once the user clicks the OK button,
i need the rest of the code execution to pause, allowing him to make the change then if he clicks the "X" (top right of the screen) to close the file or application, the filesave dialog appears and he can then save the document.
how to go about this because at the moment when user clicks ok, the messagebox just disappears and filesave dialog appears and he doesn't have a chance to edit the cell.

I have an add-in which I want to share with others, but I want to protect the code from modification.
I know how to apply a password to a VBA project (Tools -> Project Properties -> Protection) but the problem is this: when a colleague installs the add-in, the subroutines within the add-in are not available in the Macros list to be added to the ribbon (in the Customize Ribbon window). The subroutines only appear when I remove the password.

I have a workbook whose worksheets I want to protect on open, and also want to unprotect by way of a module. The protect code is:
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("Cornealrings").Protect Password:="elohim"
Sheets("Ferrararings").Protect Password:="elohim"
Sheets("Kera Rings").Protect Password:="elohim"
Sheets("IS CALCULATOR").Protect Password:="elohim"
Sheets("IS Manager").Protect Password:="elohim"
End Sub
The unprotect code is:
Code:
Sub Unprotect()
Sheets("Cornealrings").Unprotect Password:="elohim"
Sheets("Ferrararings").Unprotect Password:="elohim"
Sheets("Kera Rings").Unprotect Password:="elohim"
Sheets("IS CALCULATOR").Unprotect Password:="elohim"
Sheets("IS Manager").Unprotect Password:="elohim"
End Sub
The code stops at the first line of the unprotect event, with the message that the password is not correct. If I try to manually unprotect, the password is accepted.

i currently have created a macro for copy a selection of cells from one work book to another. The file were i am copying the cells from is Track_&_Trend_00.xls. In this there is a password to open and modify. The sheet that the cells are being pasted to is TRACK & TREND.xls. There is no password on this. My macro runs fine only that midway through it asks for the password to open and the password to modify for the sheet Track_&_Trend_00.xls.
I wonder ifany one would know about entering input lines of code below to automatically put these passwords in and not having the two password dialog boxes pop up midway through running the macro.
Range("A8").Select
ChDir "T:Track & Trend"
Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"T:Track & TrendTrack_&_Trend_00.xls"
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=-102
Range("A8:S115").Select
Selection.Copy
Windows("TRACK & TREND.xls").Activate
ActiveSheet.Paste
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveWorkbook.Save

I am trying to add a command button that will set a custom view, password protect all worksheets, and finally password protect the entire workbook structure. The code I am using will correctly set the view and add the password to the worksheets, but it will not apply the password to the workbook structure. What do I need to add?
Private Sub cmdReset_Click()
ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect Password:="test"
ActiveWorkbook.CustomViews("Sales").Show
ActiveWorkbook.Protect Password:="test"
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="test"
Sheets("Accessories").Select
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=False, Contents:=True, Scenarios:= _
False
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="test"
