protect formulas
Hi. Time for my daily question :) Thanks so much
everyone for helping me out on my other posts. I am working to protect the formulas in my worksheet. If possible, I want to be able to select cells with formulas but not change them. I think its possible. (using excel xp). This macro below tells me I don't have a variable defined in the fourth line "for each c In Active...." Any ideas? Thanks, Todd. Sub ProtectFormula() Dim Sh As Worksheet Application.ScreenUpdating = False For Each c In ActiveSheet.Cells 'in all worksheet If c.Formula Like "=*" Then c.Select Selection.Locked = bLock Selection.FormulaHidden = bLock End If Next c End Sub End Sub |

protect formulas
Todd,
Just set the Protection property of the cell to Locked and protect the worksheet. I think XP has another way to protect cells, check it out. Than password protect the worksheet. But keep in mind that Excel protection is easy to break... As for "c" - add Dim c as Range to your code. -- sb "Todd" <tunatl@hotmail wrote in message ... Hi.

protect formulas
Thank you for the help. You were right about option
explicit. I ended up using this code below. It doesn't work with Option Explicit turned on. But, it works without it. So I think I will go with it. I have to learn more about defining variables! Todd Private Sub Workbook_Open() Dim Sh As Worksheet Application.ScreenUpdating = False For Each Sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets Sh.Select Sh.Protect userinterfaceonly:=True Sh.EnableSelection = xlUnlockedCells Sh.EnableSelection = lockedCells Next Sheets(1).Select Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub -----Original Message----- Todd, Sounds like you don't have Option Explicit at the top of your modules. Having this and using the Compile in VBA would help you find these errors. There is a setting (I think it is in the Tools menu) that will automatically do this for you (but only on new modules, not the old ones). Seems like "block" is a variable and needs to be defined Dim bLock as ??? bLock = ??? see if that helps... -- sb "Todd" wrote in message ... Thanks, I want to have this auto protect upon open. The idea is to reprotect automatically in case users remove the protection. I am hoping that if they can select a locked cell to see where the formula got its result from, it will cut down on how often they unprotect the sheet. "Adding Dim C As Range" seems to have helped. But now it says "Selection.Locked = bLock" is not defined. Todd Sub ProtectFormula() Dim Sh As Worksheet Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'For Each c In ActiveSheet.Cells 'in all worksheet Dim C As Range If C.Formula Like "=*" Then C.Select Selection.Locked = bLock Selection.FormulaHidden = bLock End If Next C End Sub End Sub -----Original Message----- Todd, Just set the Protection property of the cell to Locked and protect the worksheet.

protect formulas
Todd,
Excel doesn't like this line: Sh.EnableSelection = lockedCells lockedCells is not defined and this line causes an error. With Option Explicit turned off, you don't know that there is a problem. With it on, Excel highlights the offending word. If you put your cursor somewhere on or in the work and click F1 yoy will get a screen that say Keyword not Defined. Meaning that Excel doesn't know what the h... you are talking about (unless it is defined as a variable). Sounds like you are trying to restrict the user to select unlocked cells ONLY. So just get rid of that line... Keep Exceling... -- sb "Todd" wrote in message ... Thank you for the help. You were right about option explicit. I ended up using this code below.
