Protect Or Lock Specific Cells Independently Through Button
Apr 20, 2008
I have the following question: I attached my file. In sheet "boekhouding" I want every cell in column H to contain a button that locks that specific row. So I can't accidently change the dropdownmenu for that row.
I also have some sort of strange problem in worksheet "Rekeningen", Range D1-D5 is named "Grootboek" were it should be named uitgaven. I can't change the name, but it doesn't seem to matter in worksheet rekeningen (the drop down menu for uitgaven works normally), what is wrong here?

In the attached example, I have two fields. In the first (top), I have fields I want the user to be able to enter data (revenue/weight/skids). The information at the bottom is generated by formulas that act on the user-provided data and display the results at the bottom. The key, though, is keeping Excel-ignorant users from inadvertantly destroying the formulas and data in the middle section. I still need to display the results at each step, though, so hiding those middle fields is not an option. How can I lock only some cells within a single spreadsheet like this?

Have a worksheet that will be used multiple times. User will enter name and employee number only on the first instance that the worksheet is opened. Would like to protect that info automatically for further usage. Most of the worksheet is protected but some cells need to remain unlocked so the "whole" sheet protection will not work.
How do I protect only specified cells, say F3, G3, H3, I3, after the user enters data thru an input box without changing any other protected cells on the sheet?

How would I go about lock a cell after there is an entry. Once the entry has been made the user could not change the entry. For example if a user enter in cell b2 he could not change the entry, he could change a2, c2, d2. He would also be able to put an other entry in b3, once enter the cell is lock.

I have a worksheet with employees names and their overtime hours worked that week. I would like to add some code to a button that will prompt for a password. If that password matches a predefiened password then lock a range of cells and place a time stamp next to the button and maybe change the button color of the button to Red. Now if the person with the password wants to change the locked cells, they can click the button again and enter the password and the button will turn green so they can make the changes. I would like the time stamp to be updated every time the cells are locked. Also wanted to have one button for every work week so about four buttons per worksheet. Here is an example of the worksheet. The range of cells I want to lock are the ones in bold.

How to protect or lock their spreadsheets after certain date.
My question is how to protect or lock workbooks before certain date?
Example:
I have individual woorkbooks for each week in a calendar year saved in one folder.
Is there any way that I can protect them from either being opened or if opened than not be able to save anything in them until one week before the calendar week they are designed for (or whatever date I wish to set)?

I have a workbook(1), contains a worksheet that once filled with user entered parameters, generates data through a VBA module (macro). This module(1) is a proprietary algorithm, and the author has locked the VBA project to protect the module from being tampered with/modified (and rightly so).
I take this data and use it as input in my own algorithms to generate more data. By locking "VBA project" in that workbook(1), I can't see anyway to add my own module(2) to that particular workbook(1). I can create another workbook(2), and write a module(2) there that reads the data from the first workbook(1), but then I'm left with TWO workbooks to do a single task, both have to be opened, and its just not a very elegant way of doing things.
I've contacted the author of the proprietary module(1), and he has no problem modifying the lock protection in the workbook(1) so that only his module(1) is locked, but VBA is not really his forte, and he doesn't know how to do it, or if it is even possible. I've checked many Excel Help facilities, and could not find an answer.
1. Is there any way to lock a SINGLE VBA module within a workbook?
2. Also, is there only ONE VBA project allowed per workbook? If I could add an unprotected VBA project, I could add my own module.
I may not be understanding the entire VB architecture properly, I'm using manuals from 1993, and On-line MS Help is not that "help"ful, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Mainly I just want to find out if this is possible or if its not, in which case I'll be forced to work around it in a inelegant fashion. It just seems logical that you should be able to lock just one module.

I have a workbook list of activities that I am hoping will visualise the scheduling of routine maintenance tasks in my engineering department. The date of the most recent check is entered in row 6 and the interval in row 5. Hence the number 7 denotes a weekly check. The conditional format is such that the reds indicate that a check needs to be carried out. If the check is done on the scheduled day then a "Y" is entered into the square. This will then turn the square green. If "Y" is entered on any other day then the square turns orange to indicate the check is done, if not on time. The red squares do not change colour unless a yes is entered. This is designed to show the history of checks and give us the opportunity to show compliance to routines. What I need to do is lock the rows that have passed the current date, to prevent unscupulous modification. Thus the macro would look down column A and if the date is less than today() would lock the row. I have truncated the file as much as I can. A nice to have would be the facility for an adminstrator to go in (perhaps password protected) to make changes if necessary.

I need to create a macro to where once a cell has had a formula or data inputed that it locks afterwards and cannot be edited without unportecting the sheet or not at all. The problem is I have no idea how to program in VBA. I can get there and select the worksheet but after that I am stumped. How would I enter the macro and what should the macro look like?

I've got an Excel worksheet that has 3 buttons on it. The worksheet may have some rows removed based on a parameter the user selects from a form. I've got the buttons placed where I would like them on the sheet, but if rows are deleted the buttons will move up depending on the number of rows deleted. I was wondering if there was any way to lock the placement of the button on the worksheet?

I tried very hard to design a leave roster for user to mark their leave application. The criteria are as follows:
1. 4 applications per date
2. a region of worksheet (i.e. "A2 to H20) will be defined for users to "click" on the cells (within the defined region) to mark their application.
3. once a cell is clicked (i.e. marked), it cannot be altered.
4. each click will automatically increase the total by 1.
I got the following code to deal with the situation but user can still click on any cell outside the region (in fact I fail to define the region).
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim m
ad = Mid(ActiveCell.Address, 2, 1)
m = Range(ad & 24).Value 'here a formula "CountA(A2,A20)" will be place in the cell (24, c).......................

I am looking for some help with a spreadsheet I am working on, the purpose of this sheet is to record case numbers that I am working on.
This spreadsheet will have new information added to it regularly and the cases may not be in a sequential order.
What I have found is a code that will sort a column of case numbers into an ascending order upon opening the file. What I would like to be able to do is apply the same rule to all columns on that sheet.
I have included the current spreadsheet to let you see how far I got.

I've got a toggle button that is clicked to hide the score details (using a macro). I need this button to have some sort of password protection because only I should be able to see the score!
I've tried to use the '.protect .unprotect' function, but its not doing exactly what I want it to so Im not sure I even need it there!
Here is my code..
Option Explicit
Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
Sheet1.Unprotect
With Range("78:88").EntireRow
.Hidden = Not .Hidden
End With
Sheet1.Protect
End Sub

I still get the password box pop up but it is smaller and does not contain the read only button.
