I would like to protect the VBA modules I have written in a spreadsheet. Is there any way of password protecting these (as there is with Excel workbooks/worksheets) -such that users can not see the VBA code unless they enter a password?
View 4 RepliesA recent message prompted me to complete a project to show all modules and subroutines in a workbook.
As use of VBA to manipulate the VB Editor is a recurring issue I thought it a good idea to share this.
Option Base 1
Dim WBname As String
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim TitleStr As Variant
Dim VBProject As Object
Dim ToRow As Long
Dim ToCol As Integer
Dim ComponentType
Dim MyComponent As Object
Dim ComponentName As String

Dim StdCol As Integer
Dim LastLine As Long
Dim CurrentLineNumber As Long
Dim CurrentLineText As String

WBname = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
On Error Resume Next
Set ws = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("WB Contents")
If Err.Number 0 Then ' sheet not exist....................
I am working with a class module and some fields require specific inputs that another coder may not intuitively know. How can I create a list of acceptable conastants that will appear as a drop down when the user is coding with the custom object?
For example:
I am creating an Email Engine object that will handle all my emailing needs in code, because coding emails is such a pain. Then I can just create the blasted thing, import the class module where needed and never have to worry about it again. Some coworkers are interested in using the module for their projects when I am finished. I want to put an option for message flags in the object, but only certain colored flags are allowed. How can I get the VBE to show a little drop down with the acceptable flag constants when another user types
[Object Variable].MessageFlagColor = {drop down list of options}
I started with
Public Property Let MessageFlagColor(Value As Constants)
End Property
But that hasn't gotten me anywhere.
is there any hard code out there that protects formulas in a cell
i have a sheet with formulas down a column
that used once disappear
is there any way to code this so they are always there?
Is there a way to protect a VBE project using a macro instead of going to the properties and manually typing in a password? I'm using a macro that emails just one worksheet in my workbook (creates a new temp file, emails, and deletes it) but when the new file gets to the recipient the VBE project is unlocked.
I found a way to protect the worksheet before saving the temp file, so the worksheet is protected as it should be, but the project explorer window is completely open. Then anybody can see the passwords I'm using to protect the sheet in the first place. So I need to somehow re-protect the project before it saves and emails.
I understand that we can protect the VBA coding through check the "Lock project from viewing in the Tools>VBAProject Properties. However I'll still need to open some of the code for other users to customize the program while some of the important code are protected.

So I unlocked the cell by clicking the property of the colored cells & then did this :- tools- protection-Protect sheet - protect unlocked cells. But after protecting this sheet the macro code of hiding/unhiding of the columns are NOT WORKING & Errors is coming. I have used the below code:-

I need to be able to save a copy of my spreadsheet but protect the structure so that the hidden rows cannot be opened by the person that I e-mail it to. At the moment I am using the current

Do
fName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename
Loop Until fName <> False
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fName

The saving part of the macro is working perfectly, however I cannot get the protection to work. It must have a password - I do not want the receipient to be able to go 'Tools' > 'Unprotect Sheet'.

I am trying to design a tool which dynamically results in different cells depending on users inputs. Yet, I am willing to protect most of the cells to avoid any user involuntarily (or voluntarily!) modifying the formulas/contents of the calculated (and locked) cells. Is there any way to protect my sheets, allowing only a certain macro to modify the locked and protected cells?

I've used VBA to make a picture appear when all the correct answers have been entered and it all works well. However, not to be too mean to 15 year olds, many of my students can be devious little feckers, and I want to hide and password protect the VBA code so that they can't just change the pictures visible section to true. I can password protect the workbook and worksheet, but not the VBA.
I'm entering the Visual Basic editor and I can see my simple script. I then click Tools - VBproject properties - protection. I'm clicking the "Lock Project for Viewing" box then filling in the password and confirming the password and clicking OK. But I can still see and edit my script, despite protecting the sheet and workbook.
Some sensitive data is held on worksheets that are used by people that do not have access to see the data.
It would be most convenient to keep the data in these worksheets but hide it from view of the users.
Is there a way to password protect a users ability to unhide a column?
I have a sheet that is password protected. I have this code attached to a command button. It will unlock the worksheet, autofilter it, print it, unfilter it, and password protect the sheet again. However it is protecting it without a password. I need to have it protected with the password so that someone will not be able to just go to tools to unprotect the sheet.

Can i know how many modules can be used in a VBA Program

It seems like I am asking a question at least once a day. I searched the net and forums and could not find an answer to this question. Thanks to everyone for the help I am making a lot of progress because all of you. Basically, I have a read-only workbook which the user gets a prompt to save as a new workbook for editing purposes. I have a autorun macro so now when the user opens their workbook, it contains my autorun macro. I do not want this. Is there a way to remove modules so that the users copy has no macro information?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have two modules I wish to run when I open a workbook. The reason I have them as modules is they are required to be run manually, also.
Is it possible for me to set a Workbook_Open() sub that will run these two modules?
The modules names are Module1 and Module2.
The modules stipulate what sheets etc they have to act on, I only need the modules to be initiated.
I'm trying to produce a spreadsheet that pulls infomation from different web pages throughout the day. It needs to pull quite a large amount of information from different web pages hence I wanted to produce a subroutine which could be called with different variables for each web page, i.e. url, field, destination, etc.
To actually produce the query I recorded a macro and then used the code it produced. I then changed the URL to url, a string variable which holds the urls of the pages. The destion address was changed to destination, a range variable to store the destionation location, and the webTable was changed to table also a string variable to store the table number. This is shown below.
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
url, Destination:= destination)
.Name = "q?s=%5EFTSE&m=L_137"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True.............................
I had a search and look around, but couldn't find any information on how to quickly (automatedly) export all the modules in a workbook to text files.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make it so that a lastrow I defined in one module will still be defined in another macro.
My background for this - my macro is too large for one module, therefore, I split it in two. However, the new module uses defined variables (multiple lastrow definitions) from the original module.
So, is there a way to make it so when I originally define a lastrow in one module, other modules will recognize it?
I have a number of modules that I want to call is it possible to call them from an array
For example
myarray = Array("Outstanding_Per_Agent", "Unique_Records")
Call myarray
This doesn't work as it says it expects a sub function or property
Do I need to define "myarray" as something or is it even possible.
I'm working with a substantial amount of code (which, due to its size, has been spread out into different modules). Whenever I transition from one module to the other, I have placed a msg at the beginning of each module to prompt the user to simply insert an integer to signify which version of the automation that is run. The following is an excerpt of a sample msg
[CODE]
Dim Msg, Title As String
Dim MyInput As Integer
' Define message."
[Code].....
Where, whatever report is being run, will be the same throughout all of the modules (for example, if you run the "Day" Report" at the beginning, the rest of the automation should be run using the "Day Report" code, not the "Night Report").
Is there a way to do one of the following
1. Label the input of "Day Report" or "Night Report" at the beginning of the automation (where the above except of code is how that would be done), and that can then be the determinant through the rest of the modules
2. Set my code in a specific module to, when it completes, automatically go to the same style of report (Day or Night) in the next module.
Can you run 2 modules at the same time on the same worksheet.
