Can anybody help please? Urgent

[Metallo]

This is referring to a thread I started yesterday, but apparently is
difficult to get a reply to a "simple" question (I'm sure for you it is),
therefore I try again.

In my WB I have many Sheets.

I have also two WBOcodes and one macro.

The Workbook_Open codes are:
1) To protect the sheets and allow outlining at the same time.
2) To have a fix cell in selected sheets to change when a number is input.

The Macro is to do some formatting.
In order to let it work, the macro includes a code the temporarily unprotect
and reprotect the sheets.

What do I want to do? I want to add a password to the sheet protection.
This means I have to do this for the macro as well.

My questions are:

1) Where do I place the password in the Workbook_Open code?
1) Where do I place the password in the macro?

I enclose both Workbook_Open codes and Macro.

WORKBOOK_OPEN CODES

I just need to see how this can be done and then I will apply where needed.

Thank you

Hi Alex;

Here is a code snippet on how to do it.

Sub DoProtectWithPassword()
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="MyPassWord"
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="MyPassWord"


End Sub


Thanks,

Greg

 

[Metallo]

Greg,

Could you please be a bit more specific, by showing me where to place the
snippet in the Codes and the Macro enclosed.

Thank you
Alex

 

[Ed]

A Google search of groups using
protect worksheet password VBA group:*excel*
pulled up many previous posts with various code examples. You can probably
find one that best fits your needs.

If you don't know VB it's hard to understand, otherwise I didn't need to
write in this NG.

For you it's probably a joke to show me where to place the code...

Thanks
Alex

 

[Metallo]

Marcotte,

Thanks for your comments.

But my problem is to add somehting to an existing code.

For instance, is there a way to put a password to this Workbook Open, it is
already protected but without password, I want to add a password valid for
all the sheets.
Also, can you tell me the meaning of True (4 times in a row)?

Thanks for any help
Alex

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

'''Enable Outlining navigation and protect everything on the sheet with
UserInterfaceOnly.

Sheet1.EnableOutlining = True
Sheet1.Protect , True, True, True, True
Sheet2.EnableOutlining = True
Sheet2.Protect , True, True, True, True
Sheet3.EnableOutlining = True
Sheet3.Protect , True, True, True, True
Sheet4.EnableOutlining = True
Sheet4.Protect , True, True, True, True
Sheet5.EnableOutlining = True
Sheet5.Protect , True, True, True, True
Sheet6.EnableOutlining = True
Sheet6.Protect , True, True, True, True

Sheet13.EnableOutlining = True
Sheet13.Protect , True, True, True, True
Sheet19.EnableOutlining = True
Sheet19.Protect , True, True, True, True

End Sub

You want to put the .Unprotect code at the beginning of your macro (either

first line or immedietly after the dim statements - but before any code that
makes changes). And you want to put the .Protect code at the very end of
your macro.

Basically, each line of code is interpreted in order (with exceptions for

if - then, loops etc.) If you have code that makes changes to a sheet with
protection, it will fail. So you need a line of code that will turn
protection off before the code that makes the changes gets executed. The
easiest way to do this is put it at the very beginning.

No, Alex, not at all. I have sat - and am still sitting! - in your chair of
"don't know much about VBA". But Googling the NG to find how the question I
want to ask has been answered before does two things: (a) it saves the
wonderful MVPs here from repeating themselves five times a day! <G>, and (b)
it gave me examples of how the answer fit into different routines. Knowing
how to find the ~previous~ answers gave me the power to find the answer
*NOW!*, rather than wait for someone else to pick up my question. I wanted
to pass this power on to you. It's how I learned.

Also, given my relative inexperience, I have no other valid answers for you.
I've never used that command, and don't know exactly how to use it
correctly. But I do know that this question has been addressed before by
people much more experienced than I am, and you can have access to all those
answers with a simple search.

The other "power tool" is to type your command on a line in the module
window, make sure your cursor is in the command your having problems with,
and press F1. For instance, type in ActiveWorksheet.Protect, make sure the
cursor is somewhere inside Protect, and press F1. This brings up the Help
file for Protect, which includes not only an explanation but also code
examples.

There's also the Knowledge Base and various MVP web pages. A nice add-in
that I use all the time is found at http://www.rondebruin.nl/Google.htm. It
allows me to search all the above - and I have often found the answer while
I was waiting for someone else to pick up my thread in the NG!

Others helped me climb this steep learning curve, Alex. And I'm trying to
help you by passing along the same tools they gave me.

Ed,

Sometimes is difficult to do what you describe when you have time pressure.
I looked to a similar situation in the NG, and still I'm looking to it, but
cannot find a reply, at least, not a reply that I can easily transfer to my
situation, that's why I keep on asking.

I've been using forums since 1997 and I know very well how it works, I also
know the sites you mention, but you need to go through them with a decent
amount of time and not when you need to solve a sitution in a few hours.

Thanks anyhow for your constructive comments.

Alex
