I Need To Remove Password From All .xls Files ( More That 2000 Files )
From A Directory And It's Sub Directory, All With Same Password.
is it possible to select multiple files (via windows explorer, or having them all open in Excel) and save them all, password protected (password to open) with the same password.
This was to prevent having to open 50 files individually, save as, then choose a password from "options". I'd rather be able to select all 50 and apply the same password to them.
I have a number of similar templates on a server used to produce quotations from other files with lookup formulas. They all have 2 modules, 3 & 4. Module 3 deletes certain data and shows values instead of formulas for most of the pricing etc. Module 4 contains a macro that logs info in another central workbook on the server.
If 2 files are opened based on the same template at once, when the Quote_Wrapup macro (in module3) is run on one of the open files(code follows) from a button on the spreadsheet it often produces a Run-time error '9' Subscript out of range error.
Sub Quote_Wrapup()
'To stop screen flicker
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Range("D8:F9").Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone

I have givien a password to a workbook through the save as meathod. How do I remove this password so anybody can just select the workbook to open it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe had an Excel worksheet that is used everyday suddenly pop up with protection. I have used protection before, but this one never had a password. We put in every known password we use, but none worked. I resigned to re-typing the worksheet, then, in between Friday night, and Saturday noon, when most of the office is out, a different Excel worksheet has the same problem. We are using Excel 97.

However, when I open the workbook again, my new password works but another popup shows and asks me for another password for write access. That second password was my original password, and I don't know how to change that.

I have created a worksheet and password protected, I know the password but now want to send to someone and remove the password protection option instead of them having to use a password to open it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI currently have a problem when retrieving data from an external document that is password protected. The below routine causes Excel to request the password to the file multiple times. Using the 'SendKeys' function provides a slight workaround although I am very keen to remove this. It also doesn't appear to update links once the routine has run though a couple of the 'For' loops.
I have it set so that the user has to input the first password request, but the 'SendKeys' simply hits enter for the rest of the requests. This doesn't stop the cells from being updated for the first run of the 'For m' routine but can fail on the following runs. Sometimes the second loop works, sometimes it doesn't and the user will have to manually update the links through the 'Edit Links' tool.
I tried turning Application.DisplayAlerts to false after the first password request but that didn't stop it from appearing. If it had, I was going to use the ActiveWorkbook.UpdateLink Type:=xlExcelLinks command to allow the user to update the links at the end.
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim d, m As Integer

I am looking to convert 2000 excel files in PDF and include a unique password (password ideally will be their employee number). Is this possible using VBA, I am thinking that if I have a seperate excel file with the name of each file and the applicable password it might be but not sure?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to copy and paste a range from one workbook to another workbook automatically.
Basically, I have 180 files in a folder. The details are:
1) 90 master files
2) from these a range named "COPYTOE" has to be copied and pasted into another 90 report files.
3) I have list of files & its passwords in a separate file named FNAME.XLS. In this, Sheet1, A1:C the details consist like this: ....
I have Excel Sheet that open with user name and password.
Like if it's open my Admin - he can view all Sheets
If open by any user - it opens only users sheet.
Problem is once file is saved by any users, all hidden files get unhidden and Admin Sheet is open.
Requirement: if User1 saves file other sheets should not get unhidden.
I've got these command lines I'm using to delete some specific files.
However when running the code, I get some message boxes popping up to ask if I want to save the file.
how I can loop through folders to select files starting with a certain word and copy all of them to a different folder and rename them. The folder structure is given below
Company 1(parent folder)
North South East(sub folder) West(sub folder)
Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec Jan Feb Mar.... Dec
In the above structure, the files are present inside each folders Jan, feb...Dec under the regions North, South East n west. note that I have to select files starting with "Sales" and copy them into a new folder(say results) and rename copied files as Sales1.xls, Sales2.xls etc. (Files are not present in the folder company1, north, south, east and east.)
Im trying to loop through all the files in the folder. and look at the filename if the filename contains JPE_s.jpe delete the file.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a excel file that I enter information into. I have code that saves the files to a certain folder with the name, date, and time stamp for the file name. At the end of the day I might have 3 to 15 excel files I have created that day and I would like to take information from certain cells (examle: L3, B6, B7, B8, G8, and so on) and create a txt file with all of the information in it.
Example:
12/20/2007
Your Name
123 Somewhere St.
Here, OH 45111

12/20/2007
Someone Else
345 Anywhere St.

I have about 100 Excel files in one folder that need to be saved as text files. They can keep the same name, but simply need to be converted to text files. I'd like to use VBA for this and I can't find examples that do exactly that...or ones that my limited knowledge can handle.
Excel files exist in C:Source and ALL of them should be saved as text files in C:Destination. Maybe there is an easier way, but I thought for sure there was a routine I could use.
I have about 20 files that all have separate passwords. When I enter the password for six of the files, I receive the "Unable to Read File" error message.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with 7 tabs called "Sat" thro to "Sun". I'd like a macro which
a) protects the sheets as an array (as opposed to individually)
b) preferably uses a password
Using Excel 97 on Windows NT
I have a directory which contains many files, they are all names based on their locations. eg. Burwood-File1.xls,Burwood-File2.xls,Burwood-File3.xls etc
I have a master that which will contain the branch in the first column.
I have defined the directory location in a separate sheet as well as email template.
When I click on the Send Email button I want ti to attach the files that match the Branch name.
The Branch list will constantly grow.
I have 8 different files all have a set of data in them
each one has a long list of (column a-n) however the number of rows change by date. I need each file copied into the finalfile.xls one after another. in the files that will be merged into the final file the final row i need copied is blank.
I have all the copy formulas and everything set, I just need a range to copy that automaticaly takes cell a10 to the first blank a cell from each file and pastes it in the finalfile.xls under the last paste so they dont over write each other.
I 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"
[Code] ....
What can I do to prevent people from stepping into the macro, or prompt a password to actually use the macro itself?
Am trying to find the VBA code to "ask a user for the password to unhide multiple sheets/tabs"
I have got the script for unhiding all sheets which is:
Sub Sheets_Unhide()
Dim sh As Worksheet
For Each sh In Worksheets
sh.Visible = True
Next
End Sub
What i would like though is for it to prompt with a password first before the code is executed for unlocking 50 odd sheets.. I know its not 100% fool proof, but would do for what i need!
I have one main Excel file with information (in example file - columns A & B). I want to create 4 other Excel files that will draw from the main one (in example file - columns D, F, H, & J). I want the information in Excel file A, B, C, and D to be continuous information that matches the main file. For example, the letter A matches up with numbers 1,3,4,10,11,13,15,17, and 19 in the main file. When I open Excel file A, I want a continuous list of these numbers. And I want this for all 4 Excel files which draw from the main one.

2. I need to clean the multiple identical data in the list by both Account no. and Sum (of course the list is much longer!) so that the list should look like this:
D E I J

I must say that I am a beginner in Excel, so I tried to use this:
=IF(OR(E5=$J$5:$J$430);IF(INDEX($I$5:$I$430;MATCH(E5;$J$5:$J$430;FALSE);1)=D5;"";E5);E5)
for column E, and
=IF(OR(J5=$E$5:$E$452);IF(INDEX($D$5:$D$452;MATCH(J5;$E$5:$E$452;FALSE);1)=I5;"";J5);J5)
(which is reverse of the first one) for column J; (The ranges are the ones used in the real sheet), not for the ones in the example above!); The formula does seem to eliminate a dew unwanted data, but does not give me all the wanted results!
Is it possible to have multiple passwords for a column based on text entered. I was hoping to use it as a form of digital signature. Eg if I wanted to enter my initals KP I would have to enter password assigned to KP, if a staff member entered their initials "AB" they would have to enter password assigned to that.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo, today my manager came to me and informed me that he wanted me to do a little data entry for him... WOW... So I have about 2000 invoices to go through(all excel files, in their dated folders... 12-2-2013(folder) and the filenames are 12-2-2013(1), 12-2-2013(2) etc.)
I need to take these individual files and have certain cells from each in certain cells of a new workbook for example...
file 12-2-2013(1)... I need cell C3 from that file to go to cell A2(and this will be the same for all the other files... 12-2-2013(2) cell C3 needs to be in A3 etc etc etc.. this is the sale date)
file 12-2-2013(1)... I need cell a15 and b15(they are both "stretched out" cells) to be put in C3 of the new workbook and so on.
is there an easy way/formula to do this all? I have to have this done by friday at the latest(tomorrow preferred @@) I have to input data for 7 cells...
I need to create a dynamic template for importing data from multiple .txt files to my workbook on a daily basis.
I recorded the macro for importing ONE txt files and starting to deveop it into looping through multiple txt files and sheets but to no avail.
1) Currently I have 4 named ranges
FileLocation = Location of my source file
FileName = All the file names of my txt files
SheetDestination = The sheet to be paste for each txt file (further explaination below)
FileFormat = .txt (for VBA purpose)
2) The macro recorded was in "ActiveSheet", thus I thought of looping through each sheet (put the activate code at the first line) for the codes to run.
3) ColA ColB
1SP.txt
2IND.txt
3US.txt
4
5
6
Column A is my SheetDestination, while Column B is the respective filename for source txt file. My final intended result would be simply macthing sheet 1 against SP, sheet 2 against IND, sheet 3 against US... so on and so forth....
