Default Office Friday fun - cracking an excel Quiz...


Hiya all!

I know I shouldn't do that but after downloading a quiz of the web for
our office Friday quiz I wanted to be able to get the answers so that i
can mark my colleagues...

Unfortunately, even after removing both worksheet and workbook
passwords (which are now unprotected) I cannot unhide the worksheets
which hold the references.

I can clearly see them in VBA (2 of them + the front page quiz one) but
cannot access them in Excel...

The VBA code I used to unprotect my workbook is available for free on
the web and widely distributed.

Any suggestions before I have to change my quiz for this afternoon?

Many thanks guys!!

Are they very hidden. In the VBIDE, select the worksheet and check the
properties, F4. Check the Visible property.

ah... well then when trying to get VBAProject Properties... Password
protection kicks in!

I thought I managed to get rid of the passwords...

Harder than I thought then!

If you know the name of the sheets to unhide, maybe you can just steal the
values from those pages:

Insert a new sheet
=if('hidden'!a1="","",'Hidden'!a1)

Drag down and to the right
