I want the macros to be locked up when cells are locked up.
On my spreadsheet I check "Lock" for all cells. Then turn on the
"Protection" for the sheet. In this condition, no one can enter or change any information in any of the cells. Also you cannot right click a Macro control button and edit the Macro. This is great. However, my Macro controls the operation of the spreadsheet. When you click start, the operation begins and repeats the operation over and over again continuously without stopping until you press "ESC". When you press "ESC", the operation stops, as it should. Now in this stopped condition, a window appears on the screen which (amoung other buttons) contains the button "Debug". Even when the Protection is on, you can click this button and it gives you access to the Macro contents. You can change anything you want to, it is not Protected. Is there a way to Protect the contents of the Macro by preventing any access when you click the "Debug" button? I would appreciate any help you can give. Thankyou Ed |

Hi Ed
You can protect your VBA code in the VBA editior Alt-F11 ToolsVBAproject properties -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl "Ed" wrote in message ...

Hi Ron
Thanks for the response. I looked at the "Tools VBAproject Properties" and am unable to figure out what the coding would be. Could you give me sample entries that would protect VBA code?

There is not code associated with it. It is an option you select.
Also, you need look at the EnableCancelKey property to have better control in your macro. You can then have code execute that will avoid the debug message and exit more gracefully. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Ed" wrote in message ... Hi Ron Thanks for the response.

Hi Ed
Om the protection tab fill in a password (two times) and mark "Lock project for viewing". Then Save/Close/reopen the file You can't do this with code (it is possible with Sendkeys but this is not reliable) -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl "Ed" wrote in message ...
