I have made an integrated timesheet for everyone at work. Problem is, people will be funny-beggers, and want to password protect their workbooks.
I want to be able to prevent EVERYONE from creating passwords to protect their workbook.
The problem - there are multiple users, each one has its own excel file, but it has to be password protected. I assume there is a simple VBA script or something. I found something here - User name and password to open excel file . I guess I don't need it to be that complicated. I haven't gotten it to work yet, so I can't tell if it's what I need.
Also there is an Admin or whatever that has to view all of the users excel files in one excel file. Is this even possible?
I have created a spreadsheet and wanted to originally see if I could save as a separate format (that makes it more like an application than an Excel spreadsheet). Having investigated, I found that full screen mode pretty much does what I want, however you can restore the menus by pressing ESC or selecting restore down. Is there a way of preventing users from exiting full screen mode, I could add a close application button for them to use instead.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with a HUGE macro project I'm working on. The macro itself isn't huge, but it's being applied to about 10,000 files. The macro is updating information on three spreadsheets in each workbook, but the problem is that the password protection (and Macro in general) fails to unlock when the password was entered in UPPERCASE. So the password is "king" and/or "KING" depending on the sheet. There is no way of predicting which sheets will be caps and which will not, but it's frustrating when my macro stops every 5 files with an error because of a wrong password (even though it's always one of those two).
Is there an IF THEN statement or something that I can do so that the macro doesn't stall every 30 seconds to 2 minutes... I have 10,000 files to crawl through.
how to liberate only the sheets already opened by this user, even after he/she has closed the workbook? It means that when this user re-open the workbook, only the password for this step (workbook) and of course for the sheets still closed (not yet visited), will be requested...
There will be about 20 users, accessing the same file (at least 8 or 9 at the same time), and each one has a different level. For this reason the workbook is also protected: depending on the username and password, I'm trying let excel "knows" what sheet each user can open, without type a password again. trying to illustrating: (all users and password are added by me, using a MasterSheet)
user1 ----- already unprotected sheet9 ----- can open sheet1 to 9 (no password, even re-opening the workbook)
to open the sheet10, a username and a password are required
user2 ----- unprotected sheet3 ----- can open sheet1 to 3 (no password, even re-opening the workbook)
to open the sheet4, a username and a password are required
............. and so on.........
Is there a way to auto generate passwords? I would like the result to start off with the word "cook" and end in numbers. Is this possible?
Password: cook###
How would I write a marco that requires a password when a certain word in a drop down list is selected, bearing in mind that when this word is selected certain cells in the worksheet are no longer locked - in other words the certain cell can only changed by a specific person in the drop down list which when this person is selected a password is required.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook that has data that I copied over from another workbook that had a password connected to it. I want to remove it, as when I click enable content it is asking for the password from these old documents. I know the passwords, but do not want them to pop up.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been doing a lot of reading on the forums here on hiding tabs and passwords for my current project...and suffice to say I am completely...totally...stuck.
Basically, I have 11 different tabs that need to remain hidden until, the person clicks on a commandbutton which brings up a userform that asks for a password.
Now - I have it set up that the user prior to this stage chooses thier location and it populates a label1 field on the password request userform.
My biggest problem is this: I cannot seem to figure out how, in using a userform, to get the password to be recognized as TRUE....here is the
Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
a = UserForm12.TextBox1
If a "password" Then
MsgBox "Wrong Password"
Sheets("RatesII").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
End If
End Sub
Now, my idea is that once the correct password is used, the userform dissmisses itself, the correct sheet is activated and unhidden for viewing and the user goes about doing what they do on this sheet. I will also have a button on the sheet itself titled something like "Update" which will save the sheet, and re-hide it and call up the userform once again...something I am a little scetchy on at this time though I immagine I will figure it out.
I have a list of e-mail addresses stored in an Excel file (column A). I need to generate some passwords basing on these e-mail addresses which would then be automatically stored in the same row as the passwords, only this time in column B. The passwords could be numbers based on some text to number conversion (which I could additionally add some mathematical operation to, to make the password harder to crack). The passwods would then be distributed among the owners of these e-mail addresses.
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy workbook contains a number of worksheets - currently nine. Each worksheet details a specific "business unit" for the company I work for. Using VB, is it possible for Excel to request a password upon opening the workbook? If so, the specific password input would determine the specific worksheet(s) that are available for viewing.

I have different sheets in my workbook for which i have different passwords with which i need to protect each sheet with the password assigned to it.
Is it possible to do a macro which automatically protect the sheets with the correct password.
I have attached a sample workbook the sheet "passwords" will have sheet names in first column and respective passwords in the second column.
I have recorded a macro and added this to a button on the document. I was wondering if it will be possible that each user who works on the document can use a specific password to unlock cells and autolock once document is saved. I have a seperate document that has the users and their specific passwords on.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI need some code that will generate passwords from a combination of a master password and other words such as a user name. I have seen references to use of the MD5 algorithm but would not know if or how this could be incorporated into vba.
This would be used in an workbook which is distributed to different users. In order to use the workbook, they would need to enter their user name and password. The macro would check if these were correct or not. Because the password is generated by the macro, it avoids having to have them hidden in the workbook somewhere.
I have a workbook in which users record the time spent on various activities. I have some code which will copy the worksheet template and create a worksheet for each user (in a defined list of names). Then each worksheet needs to be password protected so only the user can see it (I can do this individually by manually writing in each sheet name and setting a password but will have 80+ users for some groups and it will take ages...)
What I would like to be able to do is also automatically generate a password for each user (combining a word and automatic number e.g. "EMidsTeam123") it may be possible to insert this into the code I already have (which I have copied )...
VB:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)

However, the problem is at the end of this process we have protected the worksheet as well. This is not feasible for the process what I am working on.
how to apply different password without protecting worksheet.
how to create user logins and passwords for five users for one workbook. Also, preferrably to have a message to prompt for entering the user name and password at the first worksheet (e.g. the main page where there it is usually the company logo page) when the workbook is open.
E.g. there are five employees and we would like to create five different logins and passwords for them. So when they open the workbook, it would be the first sheet of the workbook to appear first and they would then be prompt to enter their username and password. If one of the employees leave the company, we can still quite easily change the name to the new employee.
I have an excel file with three worksheets in it. I can happily protect each sheet with a different password but what i want to be able to do is the following:
a. have a global administrator password for all the sheets - so i assume set the same password to protect the whole sheet
b. have individual passwords that only allow the user to insert rows and change data within restricted columns, i.e. can only edit columns A:Z and cannot manipulate any formulas within that range A:Z
I have excel 2010 if that makes any difference.
Is there a way in Excel 2010 that the administrator of a excel document can not only hide some columns but lock the columns by some kind of password so it remains hidden? I know user can hide/unhide columns but can some columns be hiddens and locked with passwords?
Secondly can formulas like IF and vlookups statements be hidden and locked with some kind of password?
In maybe via VBA or by some other means, is this possible?
The end user should only be able to type and select certain cells only.
Im using the following code on a User login userform. This code is for the Login command button to access the workbook (the user clicks on it after entering there username and password).
For some reason if the password is numbers only it just returns message box "Incorrect password, try again."

I'm working on a employee evaluation form. I'm using a Pass/Fail system.
I have a cell designated for PASS & one for FAIL. In these cells, I would put
"YES" if they passed, "YES" if they failed that section.
How can I prevent someone from mistakingly entering Yes in both cells?
I've generated a sheet where, based on the total run hours of a generator set using a given fuel type, we can determine which engine to run on what fuel when. The problem I've run into is that if more than one engine has the same runtime, the chart returns just the lowest numbered engine and eliminates the remaining engine(s). What I'm trying to do is make it so that when this occurs, the suggested engines show up in numerical order. For example instead of 1, 1, and 1 showing up on the chart, something like 1, 2, and 5 will show when they all have 0 run hours. I've attached my chart below with some engines having the same runtimes. RunOrder.xlsx

Basically, I want the code to be unchangeable unless done through a known password. What I don't want is some user who may accidently stumble upon the code and change it unwittingly (or voluntary).

View 12 Replies View RelatedI would like to prevent the user from inserting rows. I know that ater versions of Excel have built in "Protection" features which would easily accomplish this. Unfortunately, our company uses Excel 2000.
I have keyed in a constant value in cell B100 ("bottom" of the practical range). I have tried ...
Private Sub Worksheet _Change (ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
MsgBox "Range" & Target.Address & "Was Changed."
If Range ("B100").Value = "" Then
Application.Undo
MsgBox ("Do Not Insert or Delete Rows")

The problem with the above is: The "Change" macro does not seem to detect the insertion of rows. It does, however, detect the deletion of rows.
I have an Excel 2007 file that is a work of art. Users manually copy several rows and columns from a table on a web page and paste it into my Excel file. This turns my beautiful Rembrandt into a Jackson Pollack mess. The formating of my cells is replaced with the formating from the web page. Is it possible to make the Excel file ignore the formatting of the data being copied? As a default?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have this code,
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("h15")) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Value = "Ratio" Then
If UF.Visible = False Then
UF.Show

Else
If Target.Value = "Acid Test" Then
Sheet2.Visible = xlSheetVisible
Sheet1.Visible = xlSheetHidden
Sheet2.Activate
Application.Goto Sheet2.Range("A1"), _
Scroll:=True
End If
End If
End If
The code works fine. However, if the target cell contains the word "Ratio", and the user opens the drop down menu in then cell and selects the work "Ratio" again, the userform displays. I only would like the userform to display if the cell went from being blank to "ratio" or from being another value to "ratio".
i would like the other tabs to be still visible to the user (so not hidden), but they should not be able to go to those sheets. (clicking on their name should so nothing)
