disable cells editing
Hi;
I'd like to prevent the user to edit the content of my cells in the sheet. This is easy, however I want these same cells to be editable progamatically by my macros. And this is my problem, if I lock the cell, how can i modify them in the macros ? thx |

Unprotect the sheet by VBA code before you edit it: Sub EditProtectedSheet() If Sheet1.ProtectContents Then Sheet1.Unprotect "MyPassword" End If Sheet1.Cells(1, 3).Value = "Input2" Sheet1.Protect "MyPassword" End Sub --------------------------------------------------------- Hank Scorpio scorpionet who hates spam is at iprimus.com.au (You know what to do.) * Please keep all replies in this Newsgroup.

see the password and modify the data, how can i prevent this to happen ? |

After protecting the sheet through VBA, lock the VBA for editing.

ALT + F11 to get to VB Editor. CTRL + r to open Project Explorer. Select your project/workbook. Right-click and VBA Project Properties. Select Protection tab and follow your nose. Workbook must be saved at that point. Gord Dibben Excel MVP On 24 Apr 2005 08:23:24 -0700, "Sam" wrote: lock the vba for editing : how do i do that ? Thx ! |
