Mar 20, 2008I 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

Macro: Protect & Unprotect Sheets
Nov 9, 2006Is 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?

Jul 12, 2013I 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"

What can I do to prevent people from stepping into the macro, or prompt a password to actually use the macro itself?

Enable Macro & EnableEvents Problem To Protect Sheets
Mar 21, 2007I 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

Macro Paste Special, Protect, Delete Worksheets
Jul 19, 2007I am looking for a macro that can do one of two things. I am not sure which way I want to go with this yet and how automated it should be. Either scenario will result in a significant time save.
Scenario One
1. Copy & Paste Special Values on the selected/active worksheet
2. Protect Selected Worksheet with password "1234"
3. Delete ALL worksheets except the selected/active worksheet from the file. Names of other sheets can be various and are not static
For example:
A workbook has the following: sheets1, sheet2, sheet3, sheet_unknown_name
If you are working in sheet1 the macro would copy paste special values the entire sheet, protect sheet1 with the password "1234" and delete any and all other sheets.
Scenario Two
1. Copy & Paste Special Values on the selected/active worksheet into a new workbook
2. Protect the new workbook with password "1234"
3. Rename the new workbook with the original workbook name adding either "em_" to the front or "_em" to the end of the filename
4. File, Send To, Mail Recipient as attachment.
