cells protection
Hello,
is it possible to protect different cells group of a sheet with different password so that different users can have possibility to modify only some cells and not others? Thanks |

I believe there is only one password per sheet. You might be able to
implement something in code, but such protection is easily overcome (either code or protecting a sheet with a password). You might make a separate workbook for each group of users and develop a method to consolidate the data from each in a single separate workbook. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "gulp!" wrote in message ...

I knew about the sheet tabs colors and the ability to work with protection
applied to specific users. But I didn't realize you could assign separate passwords to each range. Guess I will have to install it on the main computer or walk downstairs and play with it. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy Dave Peterson wrote in message ... And colored worksheet tabs, too!

There are instructions in the following MSKB article:

This time, _I_ was going for the humorous effect.

Thanks Debra.
Done any testing/exploration on this with JE McGimpsey's/Norman Harker's password breaking code? -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy Debra Dalgleish wrote in message ...

Their code removes the sheet protection, which unlocks the ranges. Once
the sheet is unprotected, you can delete or modify the ranges, or set new passwords.

Thanks again for the references.
Didn't mean to put you to any trouble. Just wondered if you had looked into it. Seems no additional strength if the removal of protection removes the range protection as well - but it makes sense. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy Debra Dalgleish wrote in message ...
