I have tried to cobble together a macro to remove the sheet protection from every sheet in every workbook in a folder. Not surprisingly, it is not working. Unfortunately, I have reached the limits of my VBA abilities.
View 9 RepliesI 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.

I have been trying to edit a code which previously saved a copy in a new workbook to a specific folder/path. (Additionally it copies and clears some figures, but this is working as it should.)
However I would like the copy to be saved at the same location as the original workbook, regardless of the path the original workbook is saved.
I.e if I need to move the workbook containing the code to a new folder/location, when using the macro, the new copy should be stored in the same folder/location as the original one.
For now it is only saving the copy into "My Documents"
Code:
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
' Macro recorded 16-02-2009 by ceng
'
Sheets("Bunker ROB").Select
Sheets("Bunker ROB").Copy
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _
ActiveWorkbook.Path & Range("D3"), _
FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False

In a folder i have a large number of files all formatted the same but with different data in, basically what i want to do is have a mastersheet in each folder that when you run code it will open the first workbook, copy sheet 1 and paste it to sheet 1 in the mastersheet. then open the next workbook again copy sheet 1 find the next empty row in sheet 1 of the mastersheet and paste below, then basically repeat through all the files. There are changing number of files in the folder so it needs to be able to loop and open every workbook. at the moment the sheets are called ME1, ME2 etc etc and the mastersheet called mastersheet.

After typing in the password this doesnt protect the workbook as i am still able to edit the cells.
how to lock the all sheets and stop them from being edited?
I am trying to protect my file with a password which does not contain capital letters and contains less than 12 characters.

In 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?

I have a Workbook named "Master Archive" that contain data from 9 workbooks. This is all done with a macro upon opening each workbook and using a command button to send the data to it. Question is I want everyone to be able to view the Master Archive Workbook in a readonly fashion and the orginal to always remain closed. Reason being is I cant run the macro to archive the data if someone has it open, which then would cause debug issues with the code.
Are there settings were I can be the only one to open the workbook and be able to Edit.
Also Everyone has a shortcut to this Master Archive on there Desktop.
I have a workbook that contains macros. When the workbook is protected, the macro returns an error so I have unprotected the workbook but, if someone protects the workbook and saves it, it returns an error when closing and even if they choose cancel, it still screws up the macro and prevents it from working upon reopen.
Is there a way to prevent someone from protecting the workbook in vb code?
I've written some code which goes through a workbook, deletes any non-required information, and then saves it with a different name in another location. (It then re-opens the original workbook and looks for the next match and so on).
However, the workbook has read and write passwords on it, which I've put into the code to open it in the first place, but I want to save the 'new' sheets without the passwords being applied. Is there a simple piece of code that I can put in that will make the passwords null? (I'm a bit shiny and new to all this, so sorry if this has a glaringly simple solution! : D )

I have a master workbook with which I can produce slaves from but I am looking at keeping certain cells protected to stop deletion (dates etc). What I require is for the top 5 rows to be protected on each of the 4 week sheets where the dates etc are. I had played with protecting all the sheets and with unprotect then protect on the master but it did not carry over to the newly created slave, could someone point me in the right direction . SOLVED: The code is not pretty but functional.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI prtected several sheets with the xlVeryHidden command I got from you. But when the user does not allow Macros to be executed, also these protections are not executed. Does there exist any solution to this problem? Something like "when macros are not allowed do NOT open file"?
Sub workbook_open()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.AskToUpdateLinks = False
Windows("rechenfile.xls").Activate
Sheets("Daten").Visible = xlVeryHidden
Sheets("Koeffizient").Visible = xlVeryHidden
Sheets("Investitionen").Visible = xlVeryHidden
Sheets("Konsum").Visible = xlVeryHidden

When I protect the entire sheet, I can click in a cell and see what's in it, when I protect just a portion of the sheet, I can only click in the unprotected cells. Is this an Excel thing, or am I doing something wrong when protecting? I would like to see what the formula is in the cell when protected, but I can't click on the cell, what's the deal?

I 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.

End Sub
How to sort this. One more question is there away of protecting you vba code? stop users being able to view or edit them for instance?

I have an excel workbook I'm working on, and it needs to be protected. I have some groups that can be expanded or hidden, but once the sheet is protected you can no longer use the little button to hide or expand the group.

Currently, the user selects a name from a drop down list, it unhides a workbook of the same name, copies from that workbook, and places the copied information in an area of the sheet with the drop down list. I would like the protection settings (in this case, selectivly unlocked cells to allow users to easily tab through and not make changes to data that should not be changed) to be copied with this information. Is this possible?
I have a piece of code with a couple of errors. The code selects a certain row and then copies and inserts this row on the last line with data, the number of rows is decided by the user via a form. The line of code with the error is highlighted, think it is a syntax/grammar error.
