Default Protect-Unprotect all the sheets

Sorry, I've just tried this and the Protect Worksheet option is greyed
out when more than one sheet is grouped, so you won't be able to do it
this way.

You could group the sheets together - right-click on the sheet tab and
click on Select All Sheets. Then whatever you do to one sheet will
also be done to the other sheets, so be careful - select Tools |
Protection | Protect sheet and give your password. You must remember
to right-click the sheet tab again to Ungroup Sheets.

Alternatively, you could have a VBA macro to protect all sheets and
another one to unprotect them.

Hope this helps.

Hi All,


If i have a workbook with 15 or more sheets and i want to protect /
unprotect all of them together. How do I do it? going to every sheet and
doing it takes a lot of time....am sure there must be a way of doing that.


Thanks
