I write some code in VBA to make a sheet automatically hide/unhide som
ranges according to a n input box. Also I want to protect some part o
the sheet so that the values can only be viewed but not editable
Finally I share the workbook to a group so that others can enter thei
names to edit their own part of the sheet.

Questions:

I do not know how to share a workbook in VBA code.

If I share the workbook without VBA, I found that m
"protect/unprotect" code in VBA conflicting with the Share Condition.

Any help?

Thank

Start a new workbook and turn on the macro recorder (so the code gets recorded
in this "helper" workbook.)

Then swap back to your real workbook (unshare it first) and share it.

I get this code:

ActiveWindow.ActivateNext
ActiveWorkbook.KeepChangeHistory = True
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\My Documents\excel\book5.xls", _
AccessMode:=xlShared

But the other question is a problem. You can't change protection of a worksheet
within a shared workbook. (and that applies no matter how you applied
sharing--via the user interface or via code.)

Look in Excel's help for "Features that are unavailable in shared workbooks"

You may be disappointed in all the things you can't do.
