Do not display information in cells
I have a macro where I capture a code and vendor name. I
can change the font to "white", so the user can't see it displayed in the cell but you can still see what is typed in the formula bar. Is there a way to hide what is displayed in the formula bar without removing the formula? Thanks for the help...... |

You can go to ToolsOptions then under the View tab, uncheck the Formula bar
checkbox. Programmatically, you can hide the formula bar as follows: Application.DisplayFormulaBar = False and restore it by making the above statement True. "JT" wrote in message ...

changed the hidden property to true in the Format=Cells=Protection tab and
Protect the worksheet. or Put the data in a hidden sheet, protect the workbook structure with a password (unfortunately easily broken, but no less secure than the above), and refer to it with your formula. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "JT" wrote in message ...

Do not display information in cells
to keep the cell itself from displaying you can use the
following as a custom cell format ;;; You would still need the white background to prevent viewing in formula view. But it will prevent printing normal view with B&W setting and from displaying the formula on the formula bar, you would still need the other things mentioned by Tom. Nothing if foolproof but it might slow you down the next time you do maintenance.
