I have a workbook that has a sheet for every day of the month (1 to 31).
When it opens it automatically activates the sheet for the day corresponding today.
What I'm missing is how to enable users to only update that sheet.
Example today is the 1st, sheet 1 should be unprotected but all others protected and off course tomorrow it should be sheet 2.
I 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
i use a macro to protect several sheets in a workbook.
When i protect the sheets, i only want to be able to cells and nothing else. How should i mdify the code below to do this? I tried record the macro and un checking the "select locked cells" box which is one of the only 2 boxes checked. It works, but then when i save the wb and re-open it it allows me to select locked cells.
Sheets("FF - WC").Select
ActiveSheet.PROTECT DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
Sheets("FF - UR").Select
ActiveSheet.PROTECT DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
I wanted and the solution is on two sheet which I grouped, make copied and move into a new book. This is fine, but then I want my code to lock/protect all of my sheet in my program document, this can't be done with my current code because the sheets are group.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with several Sheets. I wish to automatically protect all sheets with specific user permissions, i.e. Select Unlocked Cells, Insert Rows, Use Auto Filter and Edit Objects, as I would have available when using the manual approach. Also, I wish to invoke a Password in the process.
Additionally, I need this code to operate when the file is Saved or Closed... transparent to the user.
How 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.
Is there anyway to prevent certain sheets from be deleted?
i know there is protect workbook, but that prevents the user from deleting any sheet
I have a workbook where I password protect each sheet. Is there any way to quickly unprotect all sheets, make changes then protect all sheets. I cannot seem to do this by grouping multiple sheets. the option to unpropect/protect is not available.

Using Excel 97 on Windows NT
I have a excel file with around 8 sheets in it and this file puted in the network to be shared with 8 persons So i need to make an individual password for each one to enter to his specific sheet and have full authorization to make anything in it and this done using userform where each one when open the file in the network , a user form open in first stage to select his name and put his own password with the ability to let each one to make his own password or change it from the userform
this file is shared so it may more one user open it and it may be there an save funtion at same time ( same time & same activities )
Is 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?
I 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).
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet with over a hundred tabs, each of which need to be password protected (same password).
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.
VB:
Sub ProtectAllSheets()
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Protect Password:="secret123"
Next ws
MsgBox "All Worksheets Protected"
[Code] ....
What can I do to prevent people from stepping into the macro, or prompt a password to actually use the macro itself?
I have a workbook with 6 tabs. The workbook is designed to be shared but I want to password protect the last 4 sheets so that they can only be accessed by certain people. The people who have access need to be able to edit the sheet.

I have a Macro to protect all the Months sheets in my Time sheet to stop users deleting formulas, This year I've added a new sheet with a yearly calender so users can track Hols etc but when I run the Macro it protects this sheet "2007-2008". How can I amend the Macro so it protect all sheets except "2007-2008". My Macro is below:
Sub ProtectAll()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Protect Password:="KITCHENsink19591968", DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=False

I'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 experience it takes a lot of time to protect/unprotect sheets in Excel 2013. However, only if the operation is made WITH PASSWORD. This was not the case in Excel 2007. Operation was fast independent with/witout password.
In attached file I have made an example where the time to protect/unprotect 25 sheets is investigated. Can make the test in Excel2013 to double check it is not my computer causing the time delay.
Result test - 25 sheets:
Protect - No password: 0,02 s
Unprotect - No password: 0,06 s
Protect - With password: 6,9 s
Unprotect - With password: 6,9 s
I am trying to crack away to protect my workbook, by forcing users the enable macros on launching.
What I am trying to do is if Workbook_BeforeSave runs a routine called DoIt. This calls HideAll, saves, then calls ShowAll al whilst not updating. (ie so the user is non the wiser and the computer does not asked to save again if no changes are made).
The reason I am trying this is so that if the user closes the document, it will not ask them again to save. Instead it has preserved the state in the HideAll place (ie all important worksheets are VeryHidden.
It is only by enabling Macros on open can the ShowAll make them visible again.
Below is the code I am using and it works, except it seems the Application.EnableEvents = False in the DoIt macro does not seem to be doing what it should.
very dearly love to get an answer as it is driving me up the wall!
Module 1:
Public bIsClosing As Boolean
Dim wsSheet As Worksheet
Sub HideAll()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each wsSheet In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If wsSheet.Name = "Warning" Or wsSheet.Name = "Authorise" Then
wsSheet.Visible = xlSheetVisible
Else
wsSheet.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
End If
Next wsSheet

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.
I have an annual leave (vacation) work book with a summary page work sheet and separate work sheets for each month i.e. Jan, Feb, Mar.....to......Dec. In order to protect the formulas I have protected them by allowing only access to the input cells on each work sheet and the protect each work sheet.
When someone either joins or leaves the team I have to manually unprotect each sheet and protect again when I have completed the amendments to each of the 13 tabs.
macro code I would need to unprotect all the works sheets in one go (as I use the same password for all the sheets) and reset the passwords (protect) the sheets with more macro code.

Excel version 2003
I have an Excel 2007 workbook which has five sheets in. I just wondered whether it is possible to hide all five of them when the workbook is first opened. Also I would like the user to be asked for a password when they wish to unhide a sheet, with the password being different for each of the sheets.
Is there also a way to do this which won't be affected by Excel disabling all Macros when the application initially opens.
I have a big spreadsheet with a number of sheets, some with dynamic lists which take up a lot of processing power, but which I only use rarely. Consequently the whole spreadsheet is running very slowly. Is there a way to set certain sheets to not automatically update, but retain automatic updating on others? I know you can set Calculation to Manual in the Options, but I need to retain automatic calculation on some sheets.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a rather big worksheet with lots of sheets in it. I need to see in the frontpage how many sheets there are in total (-2, the frontpage & end sheet don't count) and how many sheets are currently shown (ie. not hidden, as there are vba-filters which sheets to display).
I don't really mind how it is shown, it could be one cell with 14/53 meaning 14 sheets shown of a total 53 or in seperate cells.
I am trying to select a variable amount of worksheets in the workbook and print just those.
I was trying to do something like...
Code:
Sub print_sheets()
shtcount = Sheets("Master List").Range("A278")
For i = 2 To shtcount
Sheets(Array("i")).Select
Next i
' ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1

I have a macro that runs when the workbook is saved, it starts to enter in certain formulas onto the worksheet, how can I have this maro run only when 2 specific sheets are active
So basically I want the macro to run if either worksheet "Sales Jan-Jun" is active or worksheet "Sales Jul-Dec" is active, if they are not the active sheets I want to exit sub
This is what I tried without success
If ActiveSheet ("Sales Jan-Jun") Or ActiveSheet ("Sales Jul - Dec") Then
Exit Sub
Else
Is there a code I can use that will only have autocalc functioning on the active sheets? If not, how about for only the current Files that are active?
