Hi Stefi,
I want the new sheet to inherit the protected cells from its
template.Can I do this?Example Consider a worksheet named EMP has 3
headings Name Place Age in cells A1 A2 A3 ,I have locked the 3 cells
and protected this work sheet.Now I put the workbook event code .So
when new workbook is created all the the three fields Name Place and
Age are Copied into this sheet.but they are now not protected.I want
all the new sheets to have these fields cells as protected.Can I do
this directly in the workbook event or I will have to again follow the
steps to protect cells every time I make new sheet and manually protect
these cells?

Hi divya,

That is because You wrote that you want new sheets "open up with the same
FORMAT" and you didn't mention same CONTENT!
Replace line
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
by
ActiveSheet.Paste

Hi Stefi,
I got the way to protect cells,thnk u for tht,but in the 2nd
question I also want the new worksheet to gain the protection for the
same cells along with getting pasted.I jsut started learning VBA a week
back,writing macros,wanted to know how do I get to know which methods
or properties to use,I think it all comes with experience,I hope one
day I too will be able to clear doubts of the questins posted.

Coming back to my question no 2
1.Hey I copied the event code u sent me ,when I inserted a new sheet
its just selecting all the cells of the new sheet as per sh.select but
not pasting the contents of the cells from the template worksheet .I
don't understand why. Its selecting the contents to be copied from the
template sheet,because on new sheet when I am clicking ctrl+v its
pasting the content but in the workbook_event code its not.Reply back
plz.

2.As per my understanding the code you sent will copy the entire
contents of the template sheet to the new sheet,can I modify the code
to copy only selected cells like only the headings titles and not the
entries below it.ok will try and do it.at present its not pasting
anything.

3.Also I wanted to have the new worsheet with the same protected cells
as its template has.

tell me how to do it.

Thanks a lot for ure time and help ,

Select cells you want to allow to modify.
Cell formatting/Protection/Uncheck Locked option/OK
Protect worksheet: Tools/Protection/Sheet protection/OK

Q2.
This is a workbook_event code:
Private Sub Workbook_NewSheet(ByVal Sh As Object)
Sheets("ExistingSheet").Cells.Copy '<--CHANGE the sheet name as necessary
Sh.Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
End Sub

Post if you need help to install it!
