Protecting A Worksheet That Contains Macros
Jun 5, 2009I need to protect the attached to stop people deleting the formulas. The problem is that there are hidden macros and when i protect the cells the conventional way they stop working and i lose all the data in the IAS sheet. I have highlighted all the cells in yellow that i want to be able to change once protected.
At this stage I would just like some one to explain how to protect it. Ideally I want to do it normally (unlock the cells individually that I want to remain unprotected, then protect the whole sheet). If its not then presumably its a macro alteration that's needed?? don't do it at this stage as depending on how it will be protected will mean that i need to make a few adjustments.
Protecting Workbook
Feb 4, 2009I've got about 50 worksheets in a workbook and I'd like to protect them all.
Problem however is that I've got buttons in my worksheets that insert rows, delete rows.
I've also got a dynamic chart with listboxes that select data.
When I protect my worksheets all this is disabled.
Is there a way around this?
This is what I've done so far:

Protecting A Workbook
Feb 6, 2008I have a very large workbook - there are only five sheets of this workbook that should be viewed by anyone. What I would like to do and just can't seem to find a solution is...
I would like to set the workbook so that when opening I use a password which will give me full access to anything in the workbook - upon read only, a user would be able to open the entire workbook without a password - but only view it's contents - not be able to do any adjustments.
I have locked cells which I do not want anyone to adjust the formulas to, then protected the sheet - this works, however, because there are so many sheets, it becomes very tedious to unlock and lock sheets to work in them.
Protecting Worksheets In A Workbook
Jan 20, 2010I have a workbook with several worksheets in it. One worksheet for each manager. I only want the individual manager to see their individual worksheet and not those for the others. Is it possible to hide the worksheet and unhide it using an individual password, a seperate one for each manager ?
or alternativly, is it possible to hide say the columns and give each manager their own password that only allows them to unhide the columns for their worksheet. I really dont want to have to send out several seperate versions, just sending one workbook but passwording the individual worksheets within it would be ideal.

Protecting Data In Excel Workbook?
Mar 26, 2012I am building an Excel workbook for use by many users in a company. The Worksheet that all users will be able to see and access will reference a Data tab that contains sensitive data. I know how to hide and password protect that tab, but just wondering if anyone can tell me how secure that is? In other words, if someone really wanted to get that data, how easy is it for the password to be broken? I will need to prove to management that the data is secure.

Jul 4, 2007I'm developing a few workbooks that may at some point be distributed amongst other people. If this happens, I don't want people sharing these workbooks around, and therefore I need a way of enforcing the users to only use a workbook on a single computer.
I have come up with a method that allows a workbook to open on a single machine only, and not others, but I had to devise this method myself. I was wondering if there are other ways of doing it, possibly quicker ways than my own, or if there is something already within Excel that caters for this?
Protecting Cells In Shared Workbook
Oct 27, 2006I have a shared workbook is it at all possible to leave the cells unprotected so a user can enter data but prevent cells from being formated
for instance someone on night shift with nothing better to do has decided that black text on a white background is boring and changes it frequently to a rainbow of colors. and text types
it is making a well laid out and good sheet look like something a child has done
I would pursue this down a discipline line but it has proved impossible to nail down the culprit from the many users
When Protecting Workbook With Pw, Unlocked Cells Are Still Locked
Dec 16, 2009I have had a workbook that has 2 sheets.
When I protect the main sheet with a password, the unlocked cells are also locked.
When I move my cursor over any cells, it has the pointed finger as though it has a macro over it, which it doesn't.
When I click on any cell, the screen flashes and a large part of the screen momentarily it looks like a selected area.
I also am using Freeze Panes. Removed the Freeze and still no good.
If I use the horizontal scroll bar and click the right arrow 3 times, they become unlocked.
If I move the screen 3 clicks to the left, it re-locks all of the unlocked cells.

Mar 26, 2009I have several workbooks that contain the same worksheets. The worksheets within the several workbooks are structurally the same but have a different number of elements within the structure of the worksheets. I've written Macros that accommodate the difference in the number of elements in the worksheets and will perform the same appropriate tasks within all workbooks.
I use one of the workbooks for development and as I make changes in the Macros within this development workbook, I wish to update all the macros in the other workbooks.
I've been Exporting and Importing to accomplish the update. Is there a utility available that will accomplish this task? Something like "Copy all Modules from "Workbook1.xls"

Workbook Protection In Macros
Oct 27, 2006In addition to the code below that hides data if macros not enabled, prevents copy and cut (I know its still possible) I would like to as well as protect the sheets (which works fine) also protect the workbook to prevent moves etc. Unfortunately while the protection may be easily applied, the veryhidden bit to ensure macros are selected then conks out. Does anyone out there know of a way where say the workbook protection may remain and at the same time allow the veryhidden etc bits do their stuff as normal as if the workbook protection was off?

View 2 Replies View RelatedRunning Macros From A Separate Workbook
Jun 9, 2008Our department receives weekly and fortnighly updated workbooks from a number of different departments. Each workbook contains 10s of worksheets. Our department analyzes the data and generates reports from those worksheets.
I have developed a few macros to automate the report generation for making the computing of my colleagues easier.
Now, the problem is that all the macros are developed behind individual sheets and some modules. For this reason, my colleagues have to copy each updated sheet and paste over the older ones individually, each and every time. It is really quite time-consuming task - deleting older data from all the worksheets and then copying fresh data on each of them, one by one.
They want to make their life easier by just replacing the entire workbooks with the new ones and still want the macros functioning, as usual.
My concern is how I can put all the code in a separate workbook and how to reference data from the other workbook.
Workbook To Open Only If Macros Are Enabled
Mar 29, 2009I have created an Excel Workbook and this Workbook has a VBA code that enforces an expiry date of the workbook (TimeBomb from cpearson.com). So, if the expiry date has passed, the workbook will not open. But since it is VBA related, the expiry date will work only if one has enabled macros. If macros are disabled, the workbook will open regardless of the date.
So, is there a way for Excel to check if macros are enabled? and is there a way for Excel not to open the workbook, if the macros are disabled?
Workbook Macros For New Numbers On Each Sheet
Oct 21, 2009I've used excel for awhile now but never really tapped into the tough stuff. I'm trying to create a workbook for work for Purchase Orders. I figured excel would be workable. The big thing I need is that for each worksheet that is created, I need it to automatically have the next P.O. number on the sheet. I have no idea if that is possible though. Each worksheet will be the same style but the P.O. would automatically change from say 105 to 106 when the new sheet is made. I was hoping maybe the date could automatically be entered as well. That doesn't have to happen but it could be helpful. Working with Excel 2003.
View 14 Replies View RelatedOpening Workbook Without Macros But Timing Out?
Jun 3, 2012I'm trying to open a workbook that someone sends me once a week, and suddenly it's timing out (hourglass) and not opening.
I know for a fact that he put in some formulas (but no macros) that reference a file only he has access to.
And, auto calculation, he leaves on.
I see the file open on one of the 3 sheets in it, but the hourglass never goes away, and when I Ctrl Alt Del, it says Excel is Not Responding.
Is there any way I can get this file to open so that I can fix it or transfer the raw data to a new workbook?
