Protect Workbook No Password
Jan 11, 2010I have a workbook that contains a series of macros designed to compare various reports and spit out a report. I don't want my users to have to insert a password, but I want to keep my workbook protected. I've already protected the macros in the VBA Properties, so those are pretty safe, but the worksheets in the workbook are susceptible to changes that will hose my macros.
Setting the workbook to "Read Only" in Properties on our shared drive helps, but any user can change that at will. Within Excel, going to Options, Security, I can set a password so no-one can modify that workbook, but that pops up a password box when they open the workbook. I'd like to NOT have the password box pop up unless I need to make changes. Is there a way to do that? I've looked on the internet but can't find a solution on this one.
Remove Password Protection On Workbook?
Sep 29, 2011I am trying to change a password on a workbook. I have already gone to encrypt document and changed the password. 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.

Nov 7, 2011Code:
Sub Open_Test_File()
Dim wb As Workbook
Set wb = Application.Workbooks.Open("DesktopTest File.xls")
End Sub
This very simple little code opens a new workbook.
But if I add a password to the file that I'm going to open the password box appears.
What do I need to add to this code to automatically input this password?
I have tried putting this at the end:
Code:
Password:="123"
but this does not work?
Link To Password Protected Workbook
Jan 24, 2012I have a master for each manager that pulls a few values from each of their employees personal sheets.
The personal sheets (about 30) are individually password protected so only the owners can open them.
This is creating a security issues as the links in the master require the passwords for each of the "source" workbooks.
Is there any way to add some code so that the passwords do not need to be entered each time?
Protect Sheet With Password In Workbook
Mar 15, 2012I'm looking to password protect the sheets in my workbook (using vba) but I can't seem to join this up with allowing users to edit scenarios.
If I record the protection I get this:
Code:
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=False, Contents:=True, Scenarios:= _
False
I normally use:
Code:
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="password"
I just need to combine the two. Adding the password before 'DrawingObjects' or at the end doesn't seem to work.
Password Protect Each Sheet Within Workbook?
May 23, 2012I have 5 sheets in my work book.
Sheet Names:
1) PasswordPage - - I would like this to be the page where a user needs to type in their password. If it is correct, their own worksheet would display.
2) Sally - - Hidden and protected, unless Sally types in correct password. Sally's password would be Summer
3) Vanessa - - Hidden and protected, unless Vanessa types in correct password. Vanessa's password would be Pluto
4) George - - Hidden and protected, unless George types in correct password. George's password would be Carpet
5) Alexander - - Hidden and protected, unless Alexander types in correct password. Alexander's password would be Lampost
I would like to ensure that noone else see's anyone else's sheet unless they know the appropriate password, as each individual sheet contains sensitive information.
I also plan to "protect" each sheet also, so that the Sally, Vanessa, George and Alexander cannot make changes to the formulas, etc. - - this I already know how to do.
My question relates more to, How do I hide/ password protect each sheet as outlined above? I assume I must use visual basic, however I am not very familar with it.

Paste To Password Protected Workbook
Aug 25, 2006I've got two files: the one that is the source file and the second one which is the target file. The target file is password protected (let us take the number 1 as the password in this case). I have a macro that would copy the value of an example cell to the target file:
Sub iso()
Dim wBook As Workbook
Range("A2").Activate
ActiveCell.Copy
On Error Resume Next
Set wBook = Workbooks("Test2.xls")
If wBook Is Nothing Then
ChDir "D:"
Set oWB = Workbooks.Open(Filename:="D: est2.xls")
to add a line (or two) to this code, that would open and unprotect the target file and then at the and protect the target file with the same password.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWorkbook Password Protect 2 Levels
Jan 22, 2007On opening a workbook (XL2003) I want users to enter a password which will give them read Only permissions or access to the whole book. I do not want use the "save as" option it is not suitable for my needs & here is why. I have about 10 staff who need to fill in timesheets using XL SS on a public folder on the server. The staff need full access to file & management such as myself only need to view (read only) the timesheet without the ability to change data. Using the "save as" function the staff need to input 2 passwords.
The staff (in general) are not overly computer literate so I was hoping to be able to write code so that on Workbook_Open event only one password is entered and depending on the password gives the user full access or readonly access. This will also save management having to remember different passwords for read only access to different staff timesheet files & will give crude protection to the files.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim Message, Title, Default, Password As String
Message = "Enter your password" ' Set prompt.
Title = "Password" ' Set title.
Default = " " ' Set default.
' Display message, title, and default value.
Password = InputBox(Message, Title, Default)
If Password = "test" Then
Workbook.ReadOnly = True
Else
Workbook.ReadOnly = False
End If
End Sub
Error occur on "Workbook.ReadOnly" lines . I also want to put an errorchecking code for invalid passwords. Again, I know I can use the "save as" option but that is not what I need.

Apply Password Protection For Different Worksheets In Single Excel Workbook
Apr 2, 2012I used VBA codes to apply different passwords for different worksheets in a single excel workbook. They worked fine. Then i applied a password to the VBA code itself through the VBA project properties. Also worked.
But my problem is that, if any one enters a wrong password to open any of the worksheets, the VBA will open an error message window and when "end" option is clicked, the VBA code will open without any prompt for the password.Thus the entire purpose is defeated.
