I have a series of worksheets.
1: I have all worksheets hidden, except for a worksheet that says macros must be anabled to properly use the spreadsheet. (It is set up as a The intent is: A: if macros are disabled- this is the only worksheet visible. B: if macros are enabled- this worksheet is hidden and others are made visible. C: if the current filename is "original.xls", the first worksheet "request" is unprotected and cell range C4-E7 is unlocked, then the spreadsheet is re-protected. D: if the filename is not "original.xls", cell C4-E7 remains locked in the worksheet called "request". This spreadsheet is set up as a form for users to fill out information and keep track of data in subsequent attached worksheets. The intent is to keep users from recycling old forms and simply making modifications- because they make many mistakes if they do not start from a blank set of forms. This activity, while the user thinks it saves lots of money- it ends up costing the company thousands of dollars by these users trying to save a few minutes of time. This above process will keep them from changing customer name, case and project number- which essentially keeps them from recycling the forms. The backdoor of hiding the pages and "must enable macros" to use spreadsheet is to keep them from overriding the formulas... (none of the users are smart enough to circumvent this approach. Thanks How do I go about coding this? I haven't found the resources yet to figure this out on my own. Thanks |
