Submit Data Entry Into Protected Sheet Without Being Able To Edit By User?

Sep 26, 2012

I have created a simple userform that is linked to a button on sheet1. When the data in the userform is submitted, I set it up so it goes into a database under sheet2. The problem is, I don't want anyone modifying the entries in the database. Usually I would protect the sheet with a password, but when I do that, there is an error when the userform is submitted. The only thing I can think of is to hide sheet2, which doesn't seem like a great solution.

Is there any way to protect my database from being modified yet still allow the userform to be linked to it?

Use Data Entry / Search / Edit For Spreadsheet On Excel

Aug 9, 2012

I have created an example of a "Waiting List" for the college, everything I had done seemed to be working before I left for my holiday (apart from the search facility as I was still doing some problem solving, compiling and coding for it).

The Idea is to : Open Excel Document and be greeted by the "Hello" Userform

[Problem #1: This does not automatically show since I have returned from holiday, though there seemed to be no problem with it prior my escape.]Choose from three options;"Save and Exit" saves any changes on/in the database and closes the document"Insert Data" opens "Userform1" to allow users to enter a new row under the exsisting rows of data.

[Problem #2: The data in the sheet was all entered using this feature, but yet again since I have returned from holiday it keeps adding the data only on row 2]

[Problem #3: How to do Auto Formatting i.e. Postcode in Capital Letters]"Search" will open the "Search" userform which I hope to allow users to choose up to three column headings and enter the value to search that column with the parallel textbox value.

[Problem #4: The data which meets the criteria the most is listed into the listbox, if you select a piece of data (double click or "selected") it opens a new userformThe "Edit/Enrol" Userform allows user to Edit, Enrol or archive the row of data.the last Userform I created "Course" is for an admin of the workbook to choose a course and it be auto populated by the information in the worksheet "Code" and create a Mail Merge.

VBA - Allow User Select Locked Cells While Sheet Is Protected

Mar 29, 2012

Here is an excerpt of my code

Code:
Else
Sheet8.Unprotect Password:="rm123abc"
Sheet8.Range("V" & rw) = "Item is not found in the Data Base. Please Contact DME for all documentation requirements for this item"
Sheet8.Protect Password:="rm123abc", AllowFiltering:=True, AllowInsertingRows:=True, AllowDeletingRows:=True
End If

Unfortunately, once the code has run and has finished re-protecting my sheet, it doesn't allow the user to select locked cells. These locked cells contain hyperlinks, and they need to click on these hyperlinks to navigate through my workbook.

So I have two questions:

1. How can I enable allow user to select locked cells
2. Do I have to allow the user to select locked cells to access my hyperlinks, or is there another option?

Getting Data From MDB File Protected With User Level Permissions?

Aug 30, 2013

I need to get the data from an MDB file. No problems normally but in this case the MDB is protected with a workgroup file (MDW) from the old user level permissions that was available in Access.

Is it it possible to get data from the Data ribbon from a protected file or do I need to resort to vba?

Multiple User Data Entry?

We need to have various users input data into a spreadsheet, so I have created a userform. Just need some code with the submit button to populate the central sheet, I think that I will need it to open the sheet, paste the data, save and close it.

This is my submit button as it stands, with the form and spreadsheet in the same workbook:

Private Sub btnSubmit_Click()
Dim RowCount As Long
Dim ctl As Control
RowCount = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B1").CurrentRegion.Rows.Count
With Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B1")
.Offset(RowCount, 0).Value = Me.coboPropSalutation.Value

Log UserName Of User On Data Entry

Dec 2, 2006

I have a spreadsheet where for traceability purposes, I get some vba to enter elsewhere on the sheet, the date and time that data is entered into a cell. Is it possible to also somehow capture the name of the person entering the data. We are on a network, so the pc does "know" which user is logged in.

Multiple User Data Entry Form

Jun 28, 2007

Basically at the moment our static data group use a generic sheet which lists all possible field variables. However, what I want to do is design something which only shows the fields that need to be filled out (ie if the field is shown it needs to be input).

Once the form is filled out it will get saved and sent via email, where it is then printed out and input by our data group. One way I thought about approaching this was to have 18 sheets which are hidden, and which are then selected when a report type is filled out. The other way would be to have IF statements but I think that would get complicated on the one sheet. Just really looking at ideas at this stage.... For example there are 30 fields on the sheet that we use now, but some reports may only need 5 of these fields - I therefore need to "hide" the remaining 25...

Allowing VBA To Edit Protected Cells

Feb 6, 2014

I made a sheet to control some reports, and it works like this: you click a button ("Insert"), it opens a userform, you type everything there (date, serial number, client, city) and it place that info on the first row available. Then there's a "Clear Last Entry" button, and that's it.

I would like to protect the whole sheet and only allow users to insert new entries via the "Insert" button. How can I do this? If I protect normally Excel won't allow the VBA code to write on cells.

Edit Object On Password Protected Worksheet

Jun 27, 2007

I have this password protected Excel template (v.2002), it includes one particular drop-down box, which is not a data validation choice selection, but a 'object' drop-down box which offers choices linked to a hidden value, via the INDEX function. The issue arises when I password protect the template and attempt to select from the available choices, I get a dialog box telling me the "the cell or chart...is password protected and...read-only"..."To modify...remove protection". I imagined checking the "Edit Objects" selection, upon protecting the worksheet would have avoided any problems, but that doesn't do the job.

I have a form with a number of fields that once submitted paste the data in the next blank row in a sheet (as below).

Allow Cell Entry In Some Cells On Protected Worksheet

Aug 15, 2007

I know that there is a lot on locking cells but it is confusing to me. I am able to lock a worksheet but that is not what I need. I have an Excel document that has thirty to thiry-six names on it. I do not want anyone able to edit the names. But I do want them to be able to add a name.

Example:

There are 30 students in the classroom. A new student comes in. I want the teacher to be able to add that student to the roster but not able to edit the names above. What do I need to do?

Allow User To Edit Cell Contents Within Macro

Feb 4, 2014

I need to query a column and find the cells that have been incorrectly coded. For example the coding standard is #<reference number>/. Sometimes people forget the "/". It is not as easy as using search and replace because the string may have more contents than the above.

For example it may show: ATM/45678/#789876 dt. 1-2-14/ or it something like CHQ/44384/#78987600.

There are many permutations. So I need to find the cells that don't have a "/" following the #<reference number>, then allow a user to enter the slash. At this stage, I don't need code to find cells containing errors, I think I can figure that out. I do need to know how to allow the user to edit the cell as part of the macro. Once the user corrects the error, the macro should then continue. Is this possible?

Allowing User To Select A Cell But Not Edit It?

Aug 25, 2009

I have an event handler that runs a procedure when a user double clicks a cell. This procedure modifies the contents of this cell and other cells. I want the user to be able to select the cell so they can double click it, but I don't want them to be able to single click it and modify it by hand (accidentally or not). Is there a way to lock/unlock the contents of the cell without locking the cell itself?

VBA Recognize Windows User Accounts And Allow Edit Access

Jul 22, 2009

I'm working on protecting a spreadsheet to where only certain people would be allowed to unprotect and edit it... I've used a standard password protection and created a userform prompting for password and unlocking the sheet, and this works fine.

On the other hand, I was interested if it's possible to write the code to where once the "unprotect" button is clicked it would seek User Account name from windows and try to match it with a list of users somewhere within the workbook. This way the user wouldn't be prompted for a password, but rather the unlocking would simply work or not depending on user account.

How do I use a button to open the form for date selections and entering the name of the new sheet, and then use the start button on the form to begin the matching and copying to a new sheet?

When the user clicks on this Button only "Selected data" i.e. Cells A3, B4, C5, E5 will be transferred to Spreadsheet 2. The data transferred into Spreadsheet 2 should be inserted in the first available row and hence not override other data. Also, I have a question, both files will be sitting on the same shared network path however,for the update to happen to we need to have both files opened at the same time? If yes can we design something to update Spreadsheet 2 without having it opened?

Auto Data Entry On Different Sheet Layer

Aug 14, 2013

I'm trying to create a rental data base. The Items in question have 2 details, a Pokemon and a Gender. Each item also has a location but this changes.

So far the search formula works nicely, but there needs to be some way to know what items have been removed from their locations.

There needs to be some way to change the location on the 'database' sheet layer to "OUT" from the 'search' sheet layer.

E.g. (on the example file attached)

In a perfect world I would like to be able to search for a couple of pokemon, then to click on "pokeball GO!!!" and for this to change the location to "out" on the 'database' sheet layer.
