Code to protect sheets, protects work book also?
I am trying to protect to 2 worksheets upon work book open
Code: Private Sub Workbook_Open() Password = "1234" Sheets("MasterData").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden Sheets("MasterData").Protect Password, True, True, True Sheets("Unassigned Requests").Protect Password, True, True, True End Sub This works fine and it protects the sheets. But 1. It protects the workbook also. When i open the excel it asks for a password, which i dont require and i am not able to remove it 2. When I supply the same password in the excel (Tools Protection UnProtect), it does not work. |

You can save a file with a password that prevents others from opening the
file--or prevents them from writing over the file. File|SaveAs|tools|general options is where you'd specify that password (and remove it if you want) maybe???? thiaga wrote: I am trying to protect to 2 worksheets upon work book open Code: Private Sub Workbook_Open() Password = "1234" Sheets("MasterData").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden Sheets("MasterData").Protect Password, True, True, True Sheets("Unassigned Requests").Protect Password, True, True, True End Sub This works fine and it protects the sheets.

Save the workbook as a new name without the password.
close excel Open windows explorer. delete the old file rename the new file to the old name. thiaga wrote: I dont want the password for the workbook to be set at all. I just want the sheets to be protected. -- Dave Peterson |

What password is being set when you open and close and reopen?
If you saved a copy with no password (tools|options|general options under the File|SaveAs dialog, then you shouldn't be asked for a password. thiaga wrote: Thanks Dave, this works! But it sets the password when i close it and open again -- Dave Peterson |

Don't even put in a space character--just leave those boxes empty.
