Sheet Protection Causes Macro Error
Jun 29, 2007
I've been using the attached spreadsheet to record daily sales for a while now, however, we've recently intorduced a new product and so I've had to add a new column to record daily sales of it.
On the spreadsheet is a 'New Week' button. Pressing this deletes all entries and moves the week numbers on by 1, so giving me a blank template each week. However, after the addition of the new column I'm now getting a bug error message. I've adjusted the code to take account of the new column but I'm still getting a bug error. When I press 'debug' it's highlighting something I have changed so I'm a little confused why I'm getting the bug error. Would someone have a look for me. I only seem to get the bug when there is protection on the sheet, I need protection. The password is PHUKET38

One of the things it does throughout the course of the run is unprotect the worksheet, do what it needs to and then reprotects the sheet (using a password). On the second run, the sheet protection input box is shown and I am required to input the password before the code will execute.
The code that I have written uses an Add-in that pulls data from a database. As part of that retrieval, the other add-in protects the sheet without a password. Would that be causing my error?

I am using the macro below to import every spreadsheet into a folder. I would like to modify it to check the sheets it is importing for sheet protection. If the sheet protection is turned on, I would like it to turn it off. The password for the sheet protection will be "PIR".

When I protect the entire sheet, I can click in a cell and see what's in it, when I protect just a portion of the sheet, I can only click in the unprotected cells. Is this an Excel thing, or am I doing something wrong when protecting? I would like to see what the formula is in the cell when protected, but I can't click on the cell, what's the deal?

Is it true that the sheet protection in excel is practicaly none ?
Not even excel 2002 (XP) prevents simple cracking software from removing sheet protection.
Are there any master keys that cause that ?
Is there a way to protect a sheet with strong encryption ?

Is there a way to password protect a sheet so that you have to enter a password just to access it. I dont want most users to be even able to view one sheet unless they have the password.

Why does the "else" section of this code cause an error when part of a sheet code but runs fine in a macro?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Range("B3")) Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
Else
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("Current").Select
Cells.Select
Selection.ClearContents
Target2 = Range("Analysis!A1")
Sheets(Target2).Select
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("Current").Select
Cells.Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End If
End Sub

I have an excel workbook I'm working on, and it needs to be protected. I have some groups that can be expanded or hidden, but once the sheet is protected you can no longer use the little button to hide or expand the group.

Any way to transfer the sheet protection from one worksheet to another worksheet via VBA.
Currently, the user selects a name from a drop down list, it unhides a workbook of the same name, copies from that workbook, and places the copied information in an area of the sheet with the drop down list. I would like the protection settings (in this case, selectivly unlocked cells to allow users to easily tab through and not make changes to data that should not be changed) to be copied with this information. Is this possible?

I have a piece of code with a couple of errors. The code selects a certain row and then copies and inserts this row on the last line with data, the number of rows is decided by the user via a form. The line of code with the error is highlighted, think it is a syntax/grammar error.
Code:
Sub InsertRows()
'
' Inserting Rows
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
FormRowInsert.Show
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
[code]....

I have a workbook with about 70 sheets, some are specific for data entry, others for data review.
I share the workbook with my data entry team, and lock the review sheets so that no one can modify the data on them or change the formating. End users review the final protected sheets for the information that is appropriate to them.
I need to track the status of the protection of each sheet, such that I can edit the sheets as needed, then protect / lock them once I am done.
Is there a way to indicate, in a cell within the indvidual sheets, the status of protection for that sheet?
For example, if the sheet is protected, the Cell would read "LOCKED" and if the sheet is not protected, the cell would read "EDIT".

I have 2 spreadsheets: in a Sheet1 I keep some values and in a Sheet2 5 names of users with special rights (range A1:A5). I want to have sure that anybody will change/delete that names without password. Only the user "Administrator" can do that(I check the name of the user using "Application.UserName"). Additional question: is it possible to still protect those cells if somebody turn off macros during opening file?

I am getting an error when I protect a worksheet and save it. Upon re-opening the worksheet, I try to use the cells that are being formatted by a macro, but I get the following error...
Run-time error '1004':
Unable to set the NumberFormat property of the Range Class.
If I open the worksheet and it is already protected from when I last closed it, then I get the error. If I unprotect the sheet, then close it and reopen it, then I don't get the error. Does anyone know what I might be missing or doing wrong.

I am trying to Protect a Sheet to lock the width of just one column. Does the lock apply to all the columns in the worksheet or can it apply to a single column only. I can't seem to get this to lock just one column-if it is possible.

I have tried to cobble together a macro to remove the sheet protection from every sheet in every workbook in a folder. Not surprisingly, it is not working. Unfortunately, I have reached the limits of my VBA abilities.

I have hidden columns on a sheet.
I protect the sheet with a password before I send out the file to a 3rd party. However, it seems that all a user has to do is select the sheet cells, copy and paste onto another sheet or file. The protection is nonexistant and the user is able to unhide the columns.
Am I missing something?
Is there a way to "really" protect a sheet so that a user is unable to unhide confidiential columns? Preferably a method without VBA code.

I found one of your old VBA entries that allowed me to automatically refresh an autofilter function, and it works great.... with protection off.
As soon as I protect the sheet so users can't enter data into the pages showing the autofiltered data, the autofilter kicks off.
i have set the protection to allow autofiltering, so it's something that is preventing the macro (for automatically updating/refreshing the autofilter).
I'd love to either fix the macro to "autorefresh autofilter" with protection on, or just enter another code that will disable all functionality on the worksheet. (workbook is set up with multiple sheets, first sheet is for all data entry, subsequent sheets are filtered data-trying to make them viewable only).

I have a form that will be populated with different numbers of records. I need the records to be locked, but the remaining rows (if the user needs to add new records) to be unlocked. Can I use some sort of range.end function for this?

When turning on sheet protection, I get an error with the following code that I'm using to make sure rows adjust their height when lines wrap.
Rows.EntireRow.AutoFit
What can be done to eliminate this conflict? All of the cells I want available for editing are unlocked.

I know how to protect VB code (e.g. Protection tab of VBAProjectProperties), however I would like to know how to embed code to stop the user from accessing the Macro (via Run Macro).
I understand you can do this by adding "Private" to the subroutine, however, is there some code I could add into a macro/connecting to a button, that would enable the user to protect the sheet (without needing to manually type private within the Module subroutine)?

This first macro works fine:
Sub UnhideHBPorCholesterolQ1toQ3()
'
ActiveSheet.Unprotect "password"
Rows("58:67").Select
[Code]....
why the second macro does not seem to work. I get a Run-time error that says "Unable to set the Hidden property of the Range Class".

My macros are set up with hard-coded passwords to protect and unprotect the sheets where they run.
But I need a way for the macros to refer to a user-provided password without having the user edit the macos themselves. The simplist approach (I suppose) would be to have a worksheet for this with a cell for the user to enter the password he/she wants. The macro protect/unprotect code would then look at the cell to get the password.

how to protect a worksheet from editing and at the same time allow all data source links within the sheet to be refreshed? I need my users to be able to refresh all data links as required but not be able to change the worksheet in any other way.
