Protecting Hidden Tabs

Jan 6, 2012

So I have a hidden tab I want to keep hidden. I know how to protect a sheet/workbook but I also have a Pivot tab I want people to be able to double click to get the background detail. Unfortunately protecting a workbook doesn't allow new tabs to be created. Is there anyway of making this happen? Essentially, keep my tab hidden and allow a new tab to be created once pivot data is double clicked.

Format All Cells In All Sheets To Protection Hidden On Visible And Hidden Tabs

Feb 28, 2014

I am trying to format all cells on all sheets (hidden or otherwise) as "Locked" so when the sheets are protected the user can't see the formulas. This macro individually selects every sheet in the book and applys the formatting. Is there a way to modify this code to accomplish the same thing without having it actually select every sheet? The only reason it is an issue is that after running the macro you end up on the last sheet in the book.

Password Protecting Hidden Sheets

Jul 25, 2007

I am using some VBA I found here to password protect a hidden sheet. It works perfectly for 1 sheet, but I am trying to hide 6 but am having problems. Under the HideSheets part I've modified it fine, by using


Sub HideSheets()
'Set worksheet to Very Hidden so that it can only be unhidden by a macro
Worksheets("Confidential1").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Worksheets("Confidential2").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Worksheets("Confidential3").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
End Sub.........

Password Protecting A Tabs

Jun 9, 2009

I'm new to the message board so I'm not sure if this question has been addressed. I am creating an excel workbook that two groups need to provide data for, but I do not want the two groups to see each other's tab for inputing data. I know how to protect a sheet in the workbook, but a viewer can still see the contents on the sheet. Is there a way to show the tabs, but when you click on them, it automatically asks for a password before the tab contents can be viewed.

Unhiding Hidden Tabs

Hidden Tabs And Passwords

Oct 13, 2007

I have been doing a lot of reading on the forums here on hiding tabs and passwords for my current project...and suffice to say I am completely...totally...stuck.

Basically, I have 11 different tabs that need to remain hidden until, the person clicks on a commandbutton which brings up a userform that asks for a password.

Now - I have it set up that the user prior to this stage chooses thier location and it populates a label1 field on the password request userform.

My biggest problem is this: I cannot seem to figure out how, in using a userform, to get the password to be recognized as TRUE....here is the
Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
a = UserForm12.TextBox1

If a "password" Then
MsgBox "Wrong Password"
Sheets("RatesII").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
End If
End Sub

Now, my idea is that once the correct password is used, the userform dissmisses itself, the correct sheet is activated and unhidden for viewing and the user goes about doing what they do on this sheet. I will also have a button on the sheet itself titled something like "Update" which will save the sheet, and re-hide it and call up the userform once again...something I am a little scetchy on at this time though I immagine I will figure it out.

Very Hidden Sheets Are Very Hidden

Jan 2, 2007

i have an old spreadsheet that i created about a year or so ago.
i managed to make some sheets "very hidden" as opposed to just "hidden" or "visible".

the problem is i can't find them ! i have tried "format, sheet, unhide" but that is greyed out.

i do have passwords for them, but i can't find them to put these in!

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 Worksheets

Nov 27, 2006

I have a bunch of worksheets in my workbook say around 50

Each worksheet has the same template layout!

I am trying to figure out a macro that will select all worksheets from 'KLKN':'KFSN' and protect the cells L45:L52 accross to AL45:AL52

Unfortunately I cannot select all worksheets and protect them, instead I would have to manually do this, or create a macros that will do it for me...

Protecting All Sheets

Jul 1, 2007

I am trying to protect all sheets on a Workbook Close event.

I don't want the user to even be able to Select the Loked cells so I set it up that way through formating of cells.

This is what I have tried:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim sh As Worksheet
For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
sh.Protect Password:="P@ssword", DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
ActiveSheet.EnableSelection = xlUnlockedCells
' sh.Protect Password:="P@ssword"
Next sh
End Sub
I even tried the commented out line in that postion instead of where it is now.

It does protect but still allows selection of locked cells.

Protecting The Document

Jan 15, 2008

Version used: Excel 2003

I have a spreadsheet that everyone in my department uses. My boss has asked me to protect certain columns so that only I can edit them but leave others so that the rest of the depratment can use those.

I have tried locking the ones I am to use and unlocking the ones the others can use then protecting the document. This works well enough as far as it goes, however, it is combersome having to unprotect then reprotect it every time I need to work on it. Also, that method makes the drop down lists that we are using for easy sorting no longer function.

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.

Protection Not Quite Protecting

Jul 24, 2008

I have a workbook and i have spent time protecting all the formula cells and allowing user to only be able to select unlocked cells (so they can quickly tab to where they need to input info).

I have lots of codes running and always use Activesheet=unprotect If i am modifying protected cells and then at the end of the code i put back the activesheet=protect.

HOWEVER

When i transfer this book to another machine or to someone else to run it on their machine - ALL of my protection GOES OUT THE WINDOW

Also - is there a way to hide or protect all my code so that users cannot modify it?

If so - how do i get it back to modify state when i want to edit it?

Protecting A Worksheet That Contains Macros

Jun 5, 2009

I need to protect the attached to stop people deleting the formulas. The problem is that there are hidden macros and when i protect the cells the conventional way they stop working and i lose all the data in the IAS sheet. I have highlighted all the cells in yellow that i want to be able to change once protected.

At this stage I would just like some one to explain how to protect it. Ideally I want to do it normally (unlock the cells individually that I want to remain unprotected, then protect the whole sheet). If its not then presumably its a macro alteration that's needed?? don't do it at this stage as depending on how it will be protected will mean that i need to make a few adjustments.
