Hide / Protect Worksheet Code

Jul 9, 2007

I need to be able to save a copy of my spreadsheet but protect the structure so that the hidden rows cannot be opened by the person that I e-mail it to. At the moment I am using the current

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Do
fName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename
Loop Until fName <> False
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fName
Call ProtectRobin
End Sub
Private Sub ProtectRobin()
ActiveWorkbook.Protect ("Robin")
End Sub

The saving part of the macro is working perfectly, however I cannot get the protection to work. It must have a password - I do not want the receipient to be able to go 'Tools' > 'Unprotect Sheet'.

Hide And Password Protect The VBA Code So That They Can't Just Change The Pictures Visible Section To True

Nov 7, 2008

I've used VBA to make a picture appear when all the correct answers have been entered and it all works well. However, not to be too mean to 15 year olds, many of my students can be devious little feckers, and I want to hide and password protect the VBA code so that they can't just change the pictures visible section to true. I can password protect the workbook and worksheet, but not the VBA.

I'm entering the Visual Basic editor and I can see my simple script. I then click Tools - VBproject properties - protection. I'm clicking the "Lock Project for Viewing" box then filling in the password and confirming the password and clicking OK. But I can still see and edit my script, despite protecting the sheet and workbook.

Hide / Unhide Worksheet - Code Is Not Working?

Aug 4, 2014

Within a worksheet "Page_2" I would like VBA to perform following calculation: IF(COUNTIF(R:R;1);1;2)

Basically, look into column R of worksheet "Page_2" and look if there is in the column at least one number with the value 1, if there isn't show me value 2.

Depending on the value coming out of this function, VBA needs to hide worksheet "Page_3" if the value is 2 and unhide worksheet "Page_3" if the value is 1.

Here is the code which I'm using and that is not working.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("R1:R5000"), 1) = 1 Then
Worksheets("Page_3").Visible = True

[Code]...

Excel 2010 :: Hide Worksheet Password In VBA Code Without Project Protection

Nov 5, 2012

I have a 2010 excel workbook with several locked worksheet (to which I manage the PW). I and another staff member manage different section of the macro but the other staff member doesn't have access to the locked areas.

Is there a way I can encrypt the password within VBA so it's not visible to the other staff member?

Locking the VBAProject doesn't work as the other staff member has to be able to edit his VBA section.

Many staff run the macro (via a button) and don't need to access the Macro and don't have access to the protected sheets.

I understand excel isn't ideal with PW protection for people wanting to bypass the protection and this isn't an issue.

Password Protect: Unlock The Worksheet, Autofilter It, Print It, Unfilter It, And Password Protect The Sheet Again?

Jan 12, 2007

I have a sheet that is password protected. I have this code attached to a command button. It will unlock the worksheet, autofilter it, print it, unfilter it, and password protect the sheet again. However it is protecting it without a password. I need to have it protected with the password so that someone will not be able to just go to tools to unprotect the sheet.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
ActiveSheet.Unprotect "rainforest"
Columns("O:O").Select
Selection.AutoFilter
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:=">0", Operator:=xlAnd
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1
Selection.AutoFilter
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _
, AllowSorting:=True, AllowFiltering:=True
End Sub

Hide & Protect Sheet

Jul 18, 2009

I'm trying to protect a sheet so that it can be unhidden only if you know the password.

This is because I have a macro that updates some of the cells and there are some people (and only those) that should be able to access it quickly and easily. -> can't use VeryHidden or cell lock.

Protect And Hide Sheet In Workbook?

Apr 26, 2009

I've stored all my on-line passwords (about 50 of them) in one sheet in an Excel workbook. I want to protect it so that if somebody somehow got access to it, they couldn't see the sheet, much less change anything.

I tried Tools/Protection/Protect Sheet and Tools/Protection/Protect Workbook, using a secret password. Then, nobody could change the data -- but they could still see it.

So then I hid the columns first, and then protected the sheet -- which did the trick. But that seems pretty cumbersome, because it involves two steps for me to open it up (unprotecting and then unhiding).

Is there a way to protect/hide in just one step so my sheet of passwords can't be seen by an intruder?

Password Protect/hide The Spreadsheet, Not Forms

May 17, 2007

I am making a database system that tracks student activity in my schools lab for people taking foreign language courses. I'm trying to make it so students must use the userform to manage they're checking in and out, and not be able to have any direct access to the Spreadsheet itself. Also, it would be nice if the whole Spreadsheet was hidden, invisible, and only the user forms could be seen.

Excel 2007 :: Hide Sheets On Opening And Password Protect Viewing

Nov 1, 2009

I have an Excel 2007 workbook which has five sheets in. I just wondered whether it is possible to hide all five of them when the workbook is first opened. Also I would like the user to be asked for a password when they wish to unhide a sheet, with the password being different for each of the sheets.

Is there also a way to do this which won't be affected by Excel disabling all Macros when the application initially opens.

Protect VBE Project Using Code

Mar 31, 2009

Is there a way to protect a VBE project using a macro instead of going to the properties and manually typing in a password? I'm using a macro that emails just one worksheet in my workbook (creates a new temp file, emails, and deletes it) but when the new file gets to the recipient the VBE project is unlocked.

I found a way to protect the worksheet before saving the temp file, so the worksheet is protected as it should be, but the project explorer window is completely open. Then anybody can see the passwords I'm using to protect the sheet in the first place. So I need to somehow re-protect the project before it saves and emails.
