Unprotect The Sheet..
Feb 24, 2009
Spreadsheet was created by me and worksheets locked by me with password. Data is maintained by another on the network. Since acquiring a new PC with xl 2003 replacing 2000, none of the worksheets will allow me to unprotect. The "unprotect" menu option is not available (shaded out), and it says "shared" at the top.
I have numerous spreadsheets that work this way, but this is the only one that has this problem. How can I unprotect it to make modifications?

I want a sheet to copy and paste into another worksheet, I have that code and its working fine, but what I also want to do is for the sheet to be protected,so the code would be, copy, unlock, paste, lock, save.
Here is the code I have so far. I know i have to include ActiveSheet.Unprotect "passowrd" ActiveSheet.Protect "password", but I dont know where to include that last part of the code.

Does anyone know if there is a way to unprotect a sheet. The person who created this spreadsheet no longer works for our company and although we can see the spreadsheet, the formulas are hidden so we can't figure out where the data is being pulled in from. Any ideas?

I am using the following code to protect/unprotect a sheet in a tool that i am working on, which seems to work great. It unprotects the sheet runs the code inbetween the two liens of code and then protects the sheet again.
VB:
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password = "mypassword"
ActiveSheet.Protect Password = "mypassword"
The issue I am having is if i want to go in and edit the sheet without running the code it will not let me. When I go in and type the password to unprotect it says it is invalid. I have typed it exactly how the code reads. I have even tried including the quotes but no luck.

I have a worksheet where the users need to enter time. I have a macro that captures the time when the user hits Ctrl + t
What I want now is a code which protects the cell after entering the time with Ctrl + t.
I tried to do it, but my macro only works when I don't set any passwords to protect the sheet. How can I pass the password to the code and protect the sheet after the code to capture the time is being executed.

We have created a spreadsheet that needs to be protected as it is viewed by several users. We would like, if possible, to update this daily with as little human intervention as possible.
Can we use VBE and the on worksheet open event to unlock the password protection, update the sheet and then lock it again? I know that you can read who opens the sheet using code similar to the following but don't know whether the password protection can be "unlocked" utilising this method.

Is there is any way we can protect sheet in such a way that; if user - Mr. A inputs his password he can only go and is able to input his data in sheet 1.
I've a file which have multiple sheets say about 80 tabs are present. My colleague only works on one of the tab (sheet) enters data, that file is placed on our general sharing folder I want to know if it is possible that I can assign protection in such a way that when she enters her password she is able to input data only on the sheet in which she works and cannot roam around to other sheets?
Or is it possible that on first sheet there is username or password can appear? And if the data inputting person opens that file and enter her password option appear which can take her to that particular sheet? And if a guest open that file he/she can only view particular sheets which contain reports?

Workbook performs perfectly 95% of the time but every now and again I have this issue where the formular do not calculate (it is set to automatic).
I have a workaround of doing a find and replace across all the worksheets of "=" replaced with "=" and this solves the issue.
The problem I am having is that some of the sheets are protected and some are not. The code I am using for the find and replace is as follows...
VB:
Option Explicit
Sub ChgInfo()
Dim WS As Worksheet
Dim Search As String
Dim Replacement As String
[Code] .....
I need to add to this code the unprotect command and then reprotect only the originally protected sheets?
I am sure these is a better way of doing this but im really short on time. This issue only occurs 5% of the time. the other 95% the formula all calculate fine!
I just need a way of doing the find and replace for = to = across all sheets in the workbook regardless of the sheet protection!!

In wrote a workbook in Excel 2003 that is causing me a problem I can not seem to figure out. The workbook consists of multiple worksheets that work using both VBA code or cell formulas. The worksheets are protected (though w/o a password) to prevent users from accidently altering a cell formula. When the code needs to write to a cell, it first unprotects the sheet, writes to the cell(s), and then reprotects the sheet.
Everything seems to work fine, often for several months. Then somehow something goes wrong. Specifically, after double-clicking on the ListBox in the worksheet “CRI Calculator” to pick a drug name, it will improperly present a dialog box (see attached screen capture 'Unprotect Sheet DialogBox.JPG') prompting the user for a password to unprotect the worksheet. Again, no password has ever been set; I have tried entering nothing, “password”, and "anonymous". Regardless of how you respond, an error code “Run-time error ‘1004’: The password you supplied is not correct…” occurs. If I press Debug, it takes me (ironically) to the following line of code

I have an email vba code set up in my workbook that emails the worksheet in an attachment to someone. However, I keep getting an error code saying permission denied when the code tries to finish. It highlights the "Kill Tempfile" field...which in my mind is saying permission denied because I have the worksheet password protected. I kind of want to keep it that way, so is there a way I can enter a line of code in my current script to unprotect what is being emailed in the beginning of the code so that the tempfile created when it is being emailed can be deleted?
Here is my current
PHP
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()If Len(Range("H59")) = 0 Or Len(Range("H61")) = 0 Then MsgBox "Please enter customer/employee submitting request and click SUBMIT again." Exit SubElse' Enter the rest of your code hereActiveSheet.PageSetup.BlackAndWhite = TrueApplication.Dialogs(xlDialogPrint).ShowSet appWrd = CreateObject("Word.Application")Set docOpen = appWrd.Documents.Open("F:groupsdeptservCDTISA.doc")docOpen.PrintOutdocOpen.CloseappWrd.QuitDim FileExtStr As String Dim FileFormatNum As Long Dim Sourcewb As Workbook Dim Destwb As Workbook Dim TempFilePath As String

I need a macro that I can have in any workbook enabling me to protect / unprotect the workbook that I have currently opened with a set password (let say "Password")
I would link this macro to a button in excel 2002. I have try the following but it doesnt work
Would it be possible that the button (first) works (second) understand whether or not protect / unprotected and do the opposite?
Sub Protect
Activeworkbook.protect password:="password", structure:=FALSE, Windows:=false
End Sub

I have been really trying to get this sorted myself and I can get it to work with one exception. I can't get the sheet to lock with a password. It locks, but if I try to unlock it again, it does so without prompting me to enter a password.
Essentially I am wanting to unprotect two sheets, unlock the cells that were previously locked (so users couldn't enter data in them when the sheet is protected), then reapply the same password to protect the sheet, but now they will be able to enter data in the unlocked range of cells).
The second macro is to reverse the changes made in the first and 're-lock' the unlocked cells) (and again apply the same password to the sheet).
this is the code I have used.
Sub PART_YEAR()
Sheets("2012 Calculator 1 week").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect "taado"
Range("D20:D23").Select
Selection.Locked = False
Selection.FormulaHidden = False
Sheets("2012 Calculator 2 week").Select
[Code]...
I am assuming I have superfluous code in there, in addition to my mistake with the reapplication of the password.

I have a protected worksheet containing an SQL query. I have two cells on the worksheet unlocked so that users can enter fresh parameters to feed the query.
Because I have to use MS Query to interrogate our SQL server (current IT decree), the query won't support parameters directly when the query cannot be represented graphically - so I have to manually edit the sql command text and then refresh the query - or at least that was why I wrote the code below
The problem: My macro won't unprotect the sheet before it calls the SQL.it therefore won't update the sheet to detail the DSN, command text and number of parameters (latter should be 0) - info just used to verify queryit won't run the query / return the data as the sheet is still protected Comment: I have had to remove sheet protection in order to allow the sql to execute and return data. If protection is removed, the query does execute and return data ( changes in the "parameter" cell contents do cause the query to be correctly modified)
I could comment out the debug info but the query still doesn't return data if the sheet is protected.
Activesheet And worksheets(ndx) where ndx has been defined As ActiveSheet.Name
I apologise If my post Is difficult To follow - especially the code.
Sub AgedStockParameters()
nmb = ActiveWorkbook.Name
ndx = ActiveSheet.Name
Workbooks(nmb).Activate
Worksheets(ndx).Activate
ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Select
WkshtQryCon = Workbooks(nmb).Worksheets(ndx).QueryTables(1).Connection
ActiveCell.Value = WkshtQryCon
Range("A2").Select
WkshtQryFld = Workbooks(nmb).Worksheets(ndx).QueryTables(1).CommandText
ActiveCell.Value = WkshtQryFld.......................

I have a workbook that has several macros. When the workbook is saved, it cycles through and kicks off several of them.
This works fine, no errors. I have another macro that saves and then emails the workbook. When this macro runs, the same set of macros is launched due to the save method however it errors during one of the macros.
Basically what's happening is that the one macro (derivecountry) unprotects a sheet and inputs a data value. This macro works fine when run independantly but when it runs as a result of the email macr, the sheet does not get unprotected and the error results.
Here is the code line that runs to unprotect but doesn't always work
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(strShtName).Activate
ActiveSheet.Unprotect (strPassword)
I've also tried
ActiveSheet.Unprotect password:=strPassword

It gives me a error and says my password is wrong. I have user names set to return the password so that it is unlocked for certain people. It works for unprotecting the sheets. I modified it and added it back in to try to do it for the workbook.
[Code] .........
I realize that they " and () around the password are differant, but that's how I last left them. I have tried several combinations and it just gives me more errors saying expected end of statement, etc.

I have a spread sheet that is protected. I would like to have cell G5 unprotected when a checkbox is checked. I am able to unprotect the entire sheet by checking the box but I only want G5 unprotected. My current macro that unprotects the entire sheet is
Sub Checkbox_Clear2()
Sheets("Input_Personnel").Unprotect ("1")
If Range("J12") = False Then Range("G5").ClearContents
End Sub
Is there a way to change the highlighted line where it only unprotects cell "G5".

I have a code that is supposed to go through a folder, open the xls file, replace all of the formulas with values only, then save as a xlsx file to get rid of the macros, however when we get into the next workbook it will not unprotect the sheet. instead it unprotects the origional sheet I sweat this worked last week when i was writing the sections and testing but maybe it didnt. The problem is without unprotecting the sheet i can not paste to it
Workbook 1 opens up, find that the date is expired, then goes through the folder and opens a workbook, is then supposed to unprotect the sheets ( this is where the problem comes in) save all the formulas as values and then as XLS in another folder.
I turned the text red in the offending area, everythign up to this point seems to work fine.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim printquotes As String
Dim OrigDate As Date
letmesave = True
OrigDate = ActiveSheet.Range("n2").Value
[Code] ......

way for other staff to do the following...
Open an exiting protected spreadsheet,
SaveAs [newfilename]
Unprotect new sheet
Edit new sheet
Protect new sheet
Save it.
Hence we how have two protected sheets with different filenames and different contents.
Then, next time, the teacher will start again with the new spreadsheet file resulting in yet another version of the same data. etc etc.

I am working on a worksheet that has been protected off and on. I unprotected this AM, but XL will not allow changes and instructs to unprotect the WS, but it is already unprotected. The WB is not protected and never was. I am at a loss as to how to work around this problem.
