Unprotect shared worksheet
Hi All,
I created a protected worksheet in a shared workbook in order to allow the users accessing only certain cells, but in macros I should like to change some locked cells. Unfortunately XL2000 doesn't allow UnProtect method in a shared workbook. What can I do to fulfil both requirements (sharing and unprotecting) simultaneously? Thanks, Stefi |
Unprotect shared worksheet
You can't.
You have to make a choice. If you drop the sharing, you can protect the worksheet with userinterfaceonly:=true--so your macro can change things that the user can't. But this setting doesn't stick after you close the workbook and reopen it. You have to change the protection when the workbook is reopened. And sharing the workbook kills that, too.
