password protecting sheet when workbook opens
I want a sheet in my workbook to be automatically protected when i opens. So, I put this into 'ThisWorkbook': Private Sub Workbook_Open() Password = "jack" ThisWorkbook.Sheets("invoice list").Protect Password:=Password End Sub Then I closed the workbook, reopened it, and the sheet was protected However, I am now unable to unprotect it, as I keep getting told tha I've got the wrong password! Firstly, does anyone know how I can unprotect this? Secondly, what di I do wrong? how can I get this to work? Thanks! -- mercer7 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- mercer77's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=3148 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=51164 |
password protecting sheet when workbook opens
ok, I managed to unprotect it using this rather impressive tool: http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/fil...d,22990,00.asp But, I still don't understand why this happened.

Problem solved! This seems to work, basically specifying the workbook. I don' understand the difference - I guess it's just one of those littl mysteries.... :) Private Sub Workbook_Open() Dim Password Password = "jack" Workbooks("INVOICESv2a.XLS").Sheets("invoice list").Protec Password:=Password End Su -- mercer7 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- mercer77's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=3148 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=51164 |
