Messagebox: Alert user Worksheet is Unprotected
Hello;
I would appreciate help with this one: I have a worksheet which is protected with a password. Some (select) users have access to the password and can modify it and are instructed that after modifying it, they should again protect it using the same password so that it cannot be changed by other users. Sometimes users forget to re-protect the sheet. What code would be required to alert the user that the worksheet is unprotected & that he/she should password protect it. This code should get activated when the user exits from the worksheet & goes to another without protecting it. TIA Maria |

Use the workbook_beforeClose event
if worksheets("Sheet1").ProtectContents = False then msgbox "Protect sheet" cancel = true End if -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy Maria wrote in message ...

Thanks a lot Tom for your prompt reply. It worked perfectly.
I also tried putting the code in the Worksheet Deactivate part & it worked as soon as the user went away from Sheet 1. Do you see any problems using it this way?

Maria, you could also put some code to protect the sheet when the user
clicked on another sheet like this Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate() Sheets("Sheet1").Protect password:="123" End Sub -- Paul B Always backup your data before trying something new Using Excel 2000 & 97 Please post any response to the newsgroups so others can benefit from it ** remove news from my email address to reply by email ** "Maria" wrote in message ...

No particular problem. You have to cover the possibility the user could
close the workbook with that sheet active - thus never triggering the deactivate event. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy Maria wrote in message ... Thanks a lot Tom for your prompt reply. It worked perfectly.
