I've attached an excel invoice template I've been making for our company. I'd like to protect all the cells except A12:H42, C8, B9, G4 and I44. The problem is, if I protect the worksheet (with these cells unlocked) then it won't let me run the macro (for inserting new rows for extra products).
View 5 RepliesI'm currently using some pretty extensive conditional formatting macros on a worksheet (this functionality is working fine when data is directly entered into the sheet). But when i paste data from another worksheet into my "formatted" sheet, the formatting does not take affect. is there any way to "refresh" a macro?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to protect a worksheet with a password using macro.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been really trying to get this sorted myself and I can get it to work with one exception. I can't get the sheet to lock with a password. It locks, but if I try to unlock it again, it does so without prompting me to enter a password.
Essentially I am wanting to unprotect two sheets, unlock the cells that were previously locked (so users couldn't enter data in them when the sheet is protected), then reapply the same password to protect the sheet, but now they will be able to enter data in the unlocked range of cells).
The second macro is to reverse the changes made in the first and 're-lock' the unlocked cells) (and again apply the same password to the sheet).
this is the code I have used.
Sub PART_YEAR()
Sheets("2012 Calculator 1 week").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect "taado"
Range("D20:D23").Select
Selection.Locked = False
Selection.FormulaHidden = False
Sheets("2012 Calculator 2 week").Select
[Code]...
I am assuming I have superfluous code in there, in addition to my mistake with the reapplication of the password.
I wanted to create a multiple drop down lists (using data validation) in column B (50 in all, every 3rd line) whereby, multiple, comma deliminated, results would display in each of the cells - for use elsewhere in the spreadsheet.
I found some code (as follows) which worked perfectly for me
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rngDV As Range
Dim oldVal As String
[Code].....
As I mentioned above, I don't really understand the code and all I know is that the line about halfway down "If Target.Column = 2 Then" is defining which column (B) this will work in.
The problem I am having is that I need to protect the worksheet and the moment I "protect" the worksheet, the functionality of displaying multiple values goes away and the drop-down list reverts to only displaying one of the available values.
I have a userform that allows users to review, input and edit data on a spreadsheet. (thanks to Leith for getting me started on it a while back)
I want to be able to assign names to columns so that they can be rearanged in the worksheet without interfering with the VBA/macro/userform.
For instance currently the VBA for the row = "R" (equating it to whichever row the form is currently on)
I am looking for a solution by a macro or a formula to get the number of occurance of a particular word in all the worksheets of a xls.

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.

I am trying to open an Excel Workbook which in turn will automatically run a macro on loading which is a Userform. The Userform will contain 3 boxes, just some simple text boxes.
I don't want the Excel Workbook to show in the background, so I have opted to go for a VBScript to call the Excel Application and open the spreadsheet...
I have a current .vbs script which is as follows...
Code:
Option Explicit
On Error Resume Next
ExcelMacroExample
[Code]....
This works fine, there is no workbook showing and the userform opens as expected. The problem is, I lose the functionality to tab between the boxes. When opening the Userform directly in Excel,
I currently have a button then when pressed automatically sends a summary report taken from the first page of Sheet 1.
Worksheet needs to be protected all the time, but Macro only works on an unprotected worksheet.
I was wondering what additional code and where to put in so that when
protected back again after Macro has been executed?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI had the thought that maybe it would be possible to have a worksheet that is not protected when saved but when it is opened there would be a sub-routine under Sub_Workbook Open that would step through each sheet and assign a random password. And when the workbook is saved it is saved without passwords again.
In this way there would be nothing for a password cracker to pick at. The only flaw I see would be that the password to open the VBA module would need to be static and this would open up the programming to change and remove. But wouldn't this be effective against most users who would only know about the utilities to open the passwords and not the programming behind excel.
Is it possible to protect a hidden worksheet. I do not want them to be able to unhide the sheet unless they know a password to do so.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use protection in order to prevent users from only inserting a row or a column, sort, and autofilter. I don't think Userform is a good choice for this situation. I've tried using the following
Sub MyMacro()
ActiveSheet. Unprotect
'YOUR CODE
ActiveSheet.Protect
End Sub
The problem I'm running into is, when I protect the sheet from the main screen (allowing for everything but those listed above), then run MyMacro, the things that were previously allowed under protection are no longer allowed. Indeed, upon re-protection it prevents the user from accessing anything other then the very basics (selecting cells). How can I make it so that the protection works the same as before the macro?
I want to copy a protected cell from one file to another, and still preserve the protected properties. Currently, the copied cell will be unprotected.

I have my spreadsheet protected and all the neccessary fields locked/unlocked, but one of the columns contains data validation. How can I prevent a user from copying and pasting a value into the data validation cell versus of course the intended purpose of picking from the list?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a file that needs to be locked down so that the end user does not have the ability to enter data where they shouldn't. The end users are very Excel illiterate, and have proven that I need to have high security in place. Here is my current VBA code - the purpose of which is to hide/unhide rows depending on data entries. (Disclaimer: this code may not be pretty as I am a VBA rookie, and I've begged borrowed and stolen from about 10 other threads on this board to get where I am, and yes it works).
Code:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address(False, False) = "C7" Then Call Changeto1
If Not Intersect(Range("c9"), Target) Is Nothing Then
Rows("15:44").EntireRow.Hidden = True
Rows("15:" & Range("c9").Value + 14).EntireRow.Hidden = False
End If
[Code]...
The question is now....how can I unprotect the sheet so that this code works without allowing them to enter data where they shouldn't. I've been at this for days already.

I know how to protect a worksheet with a password so that no one can amend the contents or view the formulas in the cells. And then we can un-protect the worksheet by clicking on the "review" tab in excel 2007 and so on. But recently I came across an excel sheet which was password protected and my query is that the "Review" tab was greyed out. What kind of protection was this that clicking on "review" tab option is also unavailable. And how does these kind of sheets get unlocked then.

I'm a newbie to vba and at least know vba is the only way. And this need to be automated.
Ok I've spent over 2 hours reading MANY peoples issues with this "BUG". Back in 2003 was the earliest... no one has an answer that works.
When you protect a worksheet and only have UNLOCKED CELLS selected...somehow through loading and unloading the file... you can select locked cells....
I can not find a pattern but many people have had this issue all with no concrete answers.
Just by loading and saving, exit and loading and saving, exit and loading.... i can now select locked cells that I previously couldn't. (I can't do anything as it's still protected...) It's a pain because it wrecks my tab flow.
