Protecting Cells In Shared Workbook

Oct 27, 2006

I have a shared workbook is it at all possible to leave the cells unprotected so a user can enter data but prevent cells from being formated

for instance someone on night shift with nothing better to do has decided that black text on a white background is boring and changes it frequently to a rainbow of colors. and text types
it is making a well laid out and good sheet look like something a child has done
I would pursue this down a discipline line but it has proved impossible to nail down the culprit from the many users

When Protecting Workbook With Pw, Unlocked Cells Are Still Locked

Dec 16, 2009

I have had a workbook that has 2 sheets.

When I protect the main sheet with a password, the unlocked cells are also locked.

When I move my cursor over any cells, it has the pointed finger as though it has a macro over it, which it doesn't.

When I click on any cell, the screen flashes and a large part of the screen momentarily it looks like a selected area.

I also am using Freeze Panes. Removed the Freeze and still no good.

If I use the horizontal scroll bar and click the right arrow 3 times, they become unlocked.

If I move the screen 3 clicks to the left, it re-locks all of the unlocked cells.

Protecting Workbook

Feb 4, 2009

I've got about 50 worksheets in a workbook and I'd like to protect them all.

Problem however is that I've got buttons in my worksheets that insert rows, delete rows.

I've also got a dynamic chart with listboxes that select data.

When I protect my worksheets all this is disabled.

Is there a way around this?

This is what I've done so far:

Protecting A Workbook

Feb 6, 2008

I have a very large workbook - there are only five sheets of this workbook that should be viewed by anyone. What I would like to do and just can't seem to find a solution is...

I would like to set the workbook so that when opening I use a password which will give me full access to anything in the workbook - upon read only, a user would be able to open the entire workbook without a password - but only view it's contents - not be able to do any adjustments.

I have locked cells which I do not want anyone to adjust the formulas to, then protected the sheet - this works, however, because there are so many sheets, it becomes very tedious to unlock and lock sheets to work in them.

Protecting Worksheets In A Workbook

Jan 20, 2010

I have a workbook with several worksheets in it. One worksheet for each manager. I only want the individual manager to see their individual worksheet and not those for the others. Is it possible to hide the worksheet and unhide it using an individual password, a seperate one for each manager ?

or alternativly, is it possible to hide say the columns and give each manager their own password that only allows them to unhide the columns for their worksheet. I really dont want to have to send out several seperate versions, just sending one workbook but passwording the individual worksheets within it would be ideal.

Shared Workbook Saving

Mar 5, 2010

How do I get a shared workbook to automatically save upon every change by each user. The only way I can get this to work (at this point) is to run a macro that updates every 45 seconds IN EACH WORKBOOK! It's counterintuitive because the workbook is shared (on a network), but each user must start the "time" macro in their "individual" SHARED workbook to allow the automatic saving.

What am I missing? There has to be a more efficient way to do this, right?

Code below
HTML Sub Time()

Call Save
Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:45"), "Time"

End Sub

HTML Sub Save()

ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub

UserInterFaceOnly In Shared Workbook

Nov 16, 2006

I have a workbook that i am trying to make a shared workbook.

Shared workbooks have all kinds of functionality limitations. The one specifically giving me problems is the ability to protect workbooks.

Once a workbook is shared it's protection cannot be changed.

I protect a workbook prior to sharing and set the UserInterfaceOnly property = true (this allows my code to do whatever it wants but still maintains protection in the user interface).

Once i share and excel makes me save, everything works super and all the code in my auto_open macro works perfectly. But as soon as i close and open the file it seems that the UserInterfaceOnly property i set to true turns off and my code stops working.

Because it's a shared workbook i cannot turn it back on in the auto_open because that functionality is disabled.

We have a worksheet, which contains charts and data which requires updating by different department.

However, when I have this work- book as a Shared workbook (Tools - share workbook), The charting and macro has all been deactivated.

Protecting Data In Excel Workbook?

Mar 26, 2012

I am building an Excel workbook for use by many users in a company. The Worksheet that all users will be able to see and access will reference a Data tab that contains sensitive data. I know how to hide and password protect that tab, but just wondering if anyone can tell me how secure that is? In other words, if someone really wanted to get that data, how easy is it for the password to be broken? I will need to prove to management that the data is secure.

Method Of Copy And Protecting A Workbook

Jul 4, 2007

I'm developing a few workbooks that may at some point be distributed amongst other people. If this happens, I don't want people sharing these workbooks around, and therefore I need a way of enforcing the users to only use a workbook on a single computer.

I have come up with a method that allows a workbook to open on a single machine only, and not others, but I had to devise this method myself. I was wondering if there are other ways of doing it, possibly quicker ways than my own, or if there is something already within Excel that caters for this?

Shared Workbook: Revision History

Aug 18, 2009

Our main spreadsheet in the office is a shared filed which is accessed by 3 pc's.
We have been using this set-up for nearly 3 years and no problems until this last week. Now, over the past week, this message pops up when we try to save the file on the PC's not hosting the file.

"Excel was unable to save the workbook because there was a problem reading or applying part of the revision history. You can unshare the work book or save to a non shared workbook format to fix the problem"

I have shared/unshared/reshared and shared again but a week later, I still keep getting this message popping up. Any ideas?

One thing I have noticed is that we have set it in the advanced tab of the share workbook options not to keep revision history, but sometimes it also shows 'keep history for 30 days'.

Capture First User Of A Shared Workbook?

Feb 28, 2007

Using Excel 2000, I have a shared workbook which is effectively a single sheet, flat database. Rows contain dates, and when certain dates occur, I want to send an email alert to specific users. I have searched and found lots of guidance on that aspect, but am wondering how best to trigger the email alert. At least one, and up to 10 users access the shared workbook at different times of day, and I only want to review the data and send the email alerts to the relevant users once per day.

I thought about a timed event, but cannot be sure the shared workbook will be open. I wondered whether an event in Personal.xls might do it, if I ensure I open Excel every day, but it's not ideal. Finally, I wondered if I could somehow trigger the alerts when the first user opens the workbook - but can't find how to capture that.

Advanced Filter In Shared Workbook

Jul 24, 2007

Can you use or apply advanced filters in a shared workbook?

I have a workbook project where I am dynamically applying advanced filters through VBA.

The intention is to share the workbook at some point for data entry among a group of people. I did not see advanced filtering listed in Excel Help as one of the features that are not available, but I did note that if I try to apply one through the menu bar it is greyed out in a shared workbook (autofilter is still available).

Sheets Missing In Shared Workbook

Sep 8, 2007

SETUP: I have a shared workbook that is accessed by many people. It is designed to control the flow of work during the monthly close process. These processes are controlled by macros. There are 40 sheets in this workbook.

PROBLEM: On of my location's workbooks frequently loses half of it's sheets in the workbook. Counted in the neighborhood of 14 to 19 sheets go missing.

EFFORTS: I have attempted to Delete, Cut, Move, etc... these sheets with no success.

Only when I put the file in an exclusive state can I manipulate the sheets.
