I looked through the archives but have seen that there can be problems with
protecting/unprotecting sheets with vb so thought I would just ask about this one. I have buttons on some of my sheets. I'm ready to protect the sheets whereas up till now they remained unprotected. Apparently, we can unprotect sheet, run code, then protect sheet again. (I'm assuming buttons will still be clickable even though protected??) Also, we'll need a generic line of coding for protecting/unprotecting - i.e., without any sheet names and/or passwords - as that would be easiest to deal with as then I could simply copy those lines to all the current workbooks. It would mean adding a simple unprotect line after title of script and have code then execute rest of script - such as sort, etc. - and then protect the sheet before script finishes. Also, people have posted about problems with passwords so we won't need any passwords. And the other problem I saw is that code might not work if sheet protected manually, etc. So it was recommended in that particular post to use an IF statement. I haven't been able to find an example of code that will do these 2 things so begging indulgence of group to help with this one. This is final step in completing all the workbooks I made here at this job 1 1/2 yrs ago. They've been unprotected all this time. Hopefully I can close them up yet still retain full functionality with all the buttons/code! <g Thank you!! :oD |
