Basically I need it to say (I really don't know how to write code)

I have a protected worksheet with most cells locked and some that are unlocked. I also know the password to unlock the sheet. VBA code to monitor a cell(B29 in my case) and if it has a value of 6.00 or more than it will unlock cell B34?
View 7 Replies View RelatedHow I can unlock a range of sheets that are password protected in my workbook.
I have 20 identical sheets one for each department which are protected by the same password.
It would be nice if I could rapidly lock and unlock these sheets.
What I need a set rng command in conjunction with a For Next loop?
I have a workbook whose worksheets I want to protect on open, and also want to unprotect by way of a module. The protect code is:
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheets("Cornealrings").Protect Password:="elohim"
Sheets("Ferrararings").Protect Password:="elohim"
Sheets("Kera Rings").Protect Password:="elohim"
Sheets("IS CALCULATOR").Protect Password:="elohim"
Sheets("IS Manager").Protect Password:="elohim"
End Sub
The unprotect code is:
Code:
Sub Unprotect()
Sheets("Cornealrings").Unprotect Password:="elohim"
Sheets("Ferrararings").Unprotect Password:="elohim"
Sheets("Kera Rings").Unprotect Password:="elohim"
Sheets("IS CALCULATOR").Unprotect Password:="elohim"
Sheets("IS Manager").Unprotect Password:="elohim"
End Sub
The code stops at the first line of the unprotect event, with the message that the password is not correct. If I try to manually unprotect, the password is accepted.
I want to let the user unlock certain cells but only after they have clicked a button. To notify that the cell is unlocked I also want it to change colour.
Is this possible?

How to Lock/Unlock an Excel Cell Based on the Contents of Another Cell?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table and need to protect the sheet. From searching I see its a common problem as the table wont auto expand on a protected sheet.
I was thinking maybe I could create some sort of change event so if a user selects cells on Column A,B,G,H rows 13-1000 the sheet will auto unlock then lock again once they leave those cells.
I think it may need a few seconds delay to give table chance to autoexpand before sheet is locked again.
I have a worksheet with active range A9 thru K200 that is locked. When worksheet is opened, I need it to automatically unlock all rows that are blank, for users to input data. It would be great if this could also require data in column A, C and K before allowing workbook to be saved and closed.
View 2 Replies View RelatedNone of the information Ive found on the forums seem to work in my sheet and Im not sure why. After protecting my sheet/workbook, I would like a particular input of a cell to Unlock another cell.
ie if the contents of cell A1 is the phrase "TRUE", then cell B1 will be Unlocked for editing. If the contents of A1 is "FALSE", then B1 shall remain locked. From what i can tell, this must be carried out using VBA code. If anyone can resolve this issue, Id be also very grateful if you could explain what each line of the code means
I'm trying to write a vba code that does the following....
There is a question in column A to which the user chooses yes or no from column B. Based on the response in column B, I'd like the same row column D to be formatted so that if the anser is yes, the cell is white, and unlocked. If the response is no, the cell is cleared, locked and the greyed out. (e.g. if B4 is "Yes", the format in D4 will change) So far I've come up with the following which formats the colour:
Dim response As Range
For Each response In Range("$C$10:$C$73")
If response.Value = "Yes" Then
response.Select
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Range("A1").Select
With Selection.Interior
[Code] .......
How to add in a .clearcontents function, so that the contents are cleared if the response is not "yes", and also what I would need to add to unlock the cell in column D?
I need to lock cells or ranges in a worksheet which has value (any value)....
The cells which are blank should be unlocked so that the users can enter data.
trying to put together a formula, I am trying enable two cells to change between being 'Locked' and 'Unlocked'. I am doing this by using a CheckBox which is referenced to cell [E16] so that when it is checked, 'TRUE' will be displayed and when Unchecked 'FALSE' is displayed. From this I have tried to devise a formula for the cells [c26:I26] and [K26] that when cell [E16] shows 'TRUE' the cells [c26:I26] and [K26] are Unlocked and when it shows 'FALSE' the cells [c26:I26] and [K26] then become locked.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an inventory log that requires multiple cells in different columns to be unlocked based on a reference cell's input.
So, if a cell in column E has "MORNING" entered then cells L/M/N are unlocked and said user can input data for that row, and only that row. If anything else is in E, then L/M/N are left locked.
Is there a way to do this without coding, just using regular IF() in the cell directly; IF(ISTEXT(E3)=MORNING, Unlock, KeepLock)? I know that's nowhere close to being a legitimate statement, but it's the best way I can translate my thoughts.
I want cell g12 to be locked unless cell h7 is Grass Fire or Timber Fire (H7 is a drop down validated cell)

I have a file where I can not enter the VBAProject. If I click on it I get an error message and when I try to get into the Properties of the Project I get the same Message.

Is it possible to lock/unlock the VBA code in a workbook through VBA from another workbook? I wish to copy modules from one workbook to another, both workbooks will have the VBA code password protected to stop prying eyes. Obviously I need to unlock the VBA in the target workbook before the copy and lock it again afterwards. Can this be done programatically? If there is no function in VBA to do this can you provide an example of how to do it using SendKeys if that is the only way to do it?

I am getting a message, the Excel file i am opening (xlsm) is locked for editing by 'another user'. But, NOT SO, of course; i am the only user logged in to this PC, and there is no network access. I quit Excel and verified that i see no Excel processes running. But, when i try to open the file, i still get the "locked by 'another user'" message, and at this point can only open read-only. I looked in the folder the file is in and do not see any of those ~ files or anything else suspicious.
So, what do i do? How do i "unlock"? How can i open this file once again to make modifications to it?
I have the unlock/lock code below but i cannot get it to unlock the correct spreadsheet. Where do i need to place it in the code so that it will work properly.
Code to unlock:
Public Sub unlocksheet()
'unlock the worksheet

Within this code:
Private Sub cmdSub_Click()
Dim iRow As Long
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("AFW")
'find first empty row in database

I have a sheet that upon opening a macro runs to hide a selection of columns based on cell containing certain words (see here).
I now also require the workbook to be protected so that the hidden columns (which Im sure are locked as default when hidden) are locked as are columns N & S. Now, I know I can do this by protecting the sheet and unprotecting the columns I require (ie N & S - with the hidden cells remaining locked anyway).
The issue is, every time the workbook is opened this protection must be in place.
However, I require a button, which could simply reside in A1, that when pressed, will unhide and unlocked all cells. - This is needed as its vital I can easily copy rows to another sheet (and delete from existing sheet) as and when required.
if possible, re-pressing the button would hide and proetct the worksheet however this is not too significant as long as when I close and open the workbook everything is hidden and protected as specified above.
There is no need to password protect anything.
