Lock all cells?
I have a survey sheet I made that I send by email to our office. After the survey is filled out we have our customer sign it via signature pad. Is there a way to lock all unprotected cells before I send it so it can't be changed at the office? I have the "send mail" attachment but I don't think it will work. In it anyone would have to unprotect the survey first and that would be a mess. Could I add a command button that would lock all cells? I would not know what the code would be. Or is there an easier way? Thanks for any help.

Excel's worksheet protection is very easily broken.
You could unprotect the worksheet lock all the cells reprotect the worksheet But this will only momentarily delay anyone who's interested in making a change.

Thanks for the reply Dave, Actually I want to have the user lock the worksheet down to were even they can't change it. After the customer signs the signature pad, the sheet would be locked permanently.

You could give them a macro that would do that unprotection, locking and
reprotecting, but that kind of protection really isn't made for excel. It's easily broken.

Dave, Is there a way that we can save the spreadsheet to a PDF file or something that doesn't have the formulas? Or any way to change the worksheet that we could email instead of the excell version?

I don't know enough about PDF files to be helpful.
Maybe someone else will jump in. JoeBed wrote: Dave, Is there a way that we can save the spreadsheet to a PDF file or something that doesn't have the formulas?
