How can I protect cells within my worksheets allowing
macros to enter data into them but not users???

Thanks in advance.

Hi Catherine!

You need to insert code into your macros:

For j = 1 To Worksheets.Count
Worksheets(j).UnProtect Password:="not4u2see"
Next j

<your code that enters data

For j = 1 To Worksheets.Count
Worksheets(j).Protect Password:="not4u2see"
Next j



The above allows entry of data into any of the sheets assuming all use
the same password. Modify for a single sheet with data entry or where
you use different passwords for different sheets.

Alternatively, set the UserInterFaceOnly argument to true
eg
Worksheets("Sheet1").Protect password:="password"
UserInterFaceOnly:= True

Hi Norman,
But can we prevent users not to "see" the password from the macro code?
TIA

Hi Martyn!

Protect the Macro code. It's under the Tools menu in VBA.
