View 6 RepliesI wanted to know if there is a way to lock some sheets in a workbook to prevent anyone to view them. I have a workbook with sheets that have a database, it is shown the frontsheet, and when a person selects an option it will appear a sheet with the data selected initialy. I wanted the other sheet to be hidden and locked so the one goes to the unhide menu and selects a sheet to unhide a msgbox appears to ask a pass code.

I'm wondering if it's possible to request a password when opening the document then unhide certain sheets according with that password, there will be 3-6 users.
See I have hidden my sheets and I need them to stay hidden.
But when I need to unhide them, a password should be needed to unhide them.
Maybe add a button on one of the open sheets that when pressed will unhide the sheets but will promt for password.
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 am using some VBA I found here to password protect a hidden sheet. It works perfectly for 1 sheet, but I am trying to hide 6 but am having problems. Under the HideSheets part I've modified it fine, by using
Sub HideSheets()
'Set worksheet to Very Hidden so that it can only be unhidden by a macro
Worksheets("Confidential1").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Worksheets("Confidential2").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Worksheets("Confidential3").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
End Sub.........
I want to hide selected sheets and when i want to unhide them, ask for password to unhide the sheets.

when I go a new edit a macro, I get the message
"Cannot edit a macro in a hidden workbook. Unhide the workbook using the unhide command"
Where do I find the relevant "unhide command"?
I am trying to format all cells on all sheets (hidden or otherwise) as "Locked" so when the sheets are protected the user can't see the formulas. This macro individually selects every sheet in the book and applys the formatting. Is there a way to modify this code to accomplish the same thing without having it actually select every sheet? The only reason it is an issue is that after running the macro you end up on the last sheet in the book.

I was able to hide my excel application, but, somehow I'm not ale to unhide it when I close my Form:
I am trying to create a macro to unhide only a row at a time, from around 150 hidden rows altogether. It is basically to give the effect of adding extra rows to a "table" that a user could then input with new data (I have to do this way according to other set-up in the workbook), but this isn't very important to do with this question. When I do a Format<Row<Unhide from the Excel menu, it always unhides ALL of the hidden rows. I have fiddled around but can't seem to find a way to avoid this happening, all I want is for just one row to unhide. I thought it might depend what cell/s I had highlighted, but I haven't found a way that makes it work.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI HID 4 rows using this help section. (Format - Hide)
Then, I modified several column widths simply by placing my curser at the top of the column and pulling it smaller or larger.
(I don't know if this did or did not cause my problem) which is simply that - I am now unable to find my hidden rows.
I know where they are supposed to be, but when I highlight them and click (Format - Unhide) nothing happens.
I tried (Find and Select - go to special) and no white bar shows up.
Can sombody please tell this frustrated Newby How to find the rows I just hid 1 hour ago?
If I posted in the wrong place, I appologise as I spent more time trying to figure out where and how to post than I did trying to solve my hidden row problem.
I've unlocked it fine, revealed formulas etc, but it doesn't make sense so must be a hidden formula stopping people like me from unlocking the hidden treasures!!!!
At the moment it stops at column V and I can't get it to unhide any further???
Used the edit, go to, etc won't go.
Deleted all code in vb I can see or find
Tried clicking on all sheet and unhide
Nothing!?
I have column B hidden as it holds information that only certain people should be able to see.
I have a button in column A which when pressed, I would like the following...
1- a prompt box to ask for a password
2-once the password is entered, Column B unhides.
3-once an entry in Column B has been made, it automatically hides again.
I have a macro that allows me to select a range of columns and unhide any that are hidden. I am on the sheet "Employees", but the action happens on the sheet "Enter". I can run this macro when I am on "Employees" and jumps top "Enter" and works exactly as I want it to.
Code:
Sheets("Enter").Select
Columns("B:T").Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Range("M8") = Sheets("Employees").Range("B5")
Range("I7").Select
But when I try to run it as part of another macro that begins on "Employees", I get "Run-time error '1004': Select method of Range class failed", and Columns("B:T") is highlighted.
I have a range of columns ( J:AH) which i have to hide from the user interface.In order to unhide, the editor must enter a password. He/ She can only enter the password thrice. After 3 times, if it is still wrong, the whole workbook must be closed. Is this possible? If not, I'll settle for something less complicated.
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy problem is that I need column B:B to hide if it's not hidden, if it is hidden to be unhidden via the textbox password box but I don't want the textbox to appear when hitting the button to hide which it does and that then causes me to have to hit the cancel button to leave the column hidden. Here is the code I came up with:
Sub PasswordBoxCode()
ActiveSheet. Unprotect ("13792468")
Columns("B:B").Select
If Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False Then Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
If Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True Then PasswordBox.Show
ActiveSheet.Protect ("13792468")
Range("A1").Select
End Sub
And then for the userform code I have this:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
If TextBox1.Value = "1379" Then
ActiveSheet.Unprotect ("13792468")
Columns("B:B").Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False........................
I have just been sent a strange file, which I have attached, on its only sheet columns "A" and "B" have data entered in them, but they are not visible. You can access them if you select column "C" and use the left arrow key, but all attempts at unhiding and changing the column width are fuitless.
I have tried selecting the ENTIRE sheet, then Home>Format>Unhide Columns but it does nothing I try selecting the entire sheet, then Home>Format>Column Width and setting it to something, like "20", but again it is fruitless.
I even tried using a macro in the "Immediate Window" to ask Excel whether the columns are hidden (by using "?Columns(1).Hidden" and it returned "False") then I used a similar macro ("Cells.EntireColumn.ColumnWidth = 12.75") and again - nothing! :O
find if there is a way to unhide in one step a specific column from hidden range of columns...
Assume columns D..H are hidden, now how can I unhide column G alone or column F alone and so on.
I have a protected sheet so specific people can only see certain things. I would like code to Unhide a tab called "Estimating" and unhide Rows 2 through 9 and rows 24, 26 and 27.
I was wondering if it was possible to hide cells using protect sheet? I have a worksheet that contains confidential data and would like it so the cells appeared blank unless you had the password. I know you can hide rows and columns but I need everything on the sheet to be hidden.

Currently, my excel is protected with a password "PSWD" when users open the file. In my vba script, I have a function that can unprotect my excel without any password input box to the users. This method is to unprotect the file and allow users to do any formating columns and rows tasks, such as add or delete cells. After users finish their job, the file will be protected back. The function is such as below:
Dim wSheet As Worksheet
For Each wSheet In Worksheets
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
If wSheet.ProtectContents = True Then
wSheet.Unprotect Password:="PSWD"
Else
My questions are:
1. How I can create a hidden sheet that has one cell populated only?
2. How can I assign the password that the user enters at the "TextBox1" (first code) to a cell of of the hidden sheet? Do I have to modify the first code?
3. For the second code, how am I going to assign the value to at the wSheet.Unprotect/Protect Password:="..." with whatever the user has previously chosen as a password that refers at the hidden sheet?
I've looked through this wonderful sight and haven't found one close to my project. I am a bit rusty on VB programming. I am working on workbook that contains multiple worksheets. Each worksheet is hidden and is accessible with a login and password so that only a specific user can access. My question is: How do I modify this so that the manager can open the workbook and view ALL worksheets without having to enter the login name and password for all of his users? Any help would be great. Thank you!!

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 have an old spreadsheet that i created about a year or so ago.
i managed to make some sheets "very hidden" as opposed to just "hidden" or "visible".
the problem is i can't find them ! i have tried "format, sheet, unhide" but that is greyed out.
i do have passwords for them, but i can't find them to put these in!
Some sensitive data is held on worksheets that are used by people that do not have access to see the data.
It would be most convenient to keep the data in these worksheets but hide it from view of the users.
Is there a way to password protect a users ability to unhide a column?
