Select cells you want to allow to modify.
Cell formatting/Protection/Uncheck Locked option/OK
Protect worksheet: Tools/Protection/Sheet protection/OK

Q2.
This is a workbook_event code:
Private Sub Workbook_NewSheet(ByVal Sh As Object)
Sheets("ExistingSheet").Cells.Copy '<--CHANGE the sheet name as necessary
Sh.Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False

Default How to protect few cells of the worksheet from editing?and few oth

Hi Stefi,
I got the way to protect cells,thnk u for tht,but in the 2nd
question I also want the new worksheet to gain the protection for the
same cells along with getting pasted.I jsut started learning VBA a week
back,writing macros,wanted to know how do I get to know which methods
or properties to use,I think it all comes with experience,I hope one
day I too will be able to clear doubts of the questins posted.

Coming back to my question no 2
1.Hey I copied the event code u sent me ,when I inserted a new sheet
its just selecting all the cells of the new sheet as per sh.select but
not pasting the contents of the cells from the template worksheet .I
don't understand why. Its selecting the contents to be copied from the
template sheet,because on new sheet when I am clicking ctrl+v its
pasting the content but in the workbook_event code its not.Reply back
plz.

2.As per my understanding the code you sent will copy the entire
contents of the template sheet to the new sheet,can I modify the code
to copy only selected cells like only the headings titles and not the
entries below it.ok will try and do it.at present its not pasting
anything.

3.Also I wanted to have the new worsheet with the same protected cells
as its template has.

tell me how to do it.

Thanks a lot for ure time and help ,

Hi divya,

That is because You wrote that you want new sheets "open up with the same
FORMAT" and you didn't mention same CONTENT!
Replace line
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False

by

Default How to protect few cells of the worksheet from editing?and few

Hi Stefi,
I want the new sheet to inherit the protected cells from its
template.Can I do this?Example Consider a worksheet named EMP has 3
headings Name Place Age in cells A1 A2 A3 ,I have locked the 3 cells
and protected this work sheet.Now I put the workbook event code .So
when new workbook is created all the the three fields Name Place and
Age are Copied into this sheet.but they are now not protected.I want
all the new sheets to have these fields cells as protected.Can I do
this directly in the workbook event or I will have to again follow the
steps to protect cells every time I make new sheet and manually protect
these cells?

Default How to protect few cells of the worksheet from editing?and few

Hiiii
1.I have a form which is loaded on workbook_open event.
2.On this form There are two option buttons namely optSI and
optFPS.the user selects one and clicks Ok button
3.Now the onClick event for OK has following code
Public fps, si As Integer ' I want to know scope of
these variables
Private Sub CmdOK_Click()
If OptFPS Then
fps=1
Sheets.Add
ElseIf optSI Then
Sheets.Add
si = 1
End If
Unload Me
End Sub
4. Now when a sheet is added I want to
1. call convertmkstofps if optfps is selected
2 call convertmkstosi if optsi is selected

How can we do this??What I did is
I wrote followinfg code in the Workbook_newsheet event


Private Sub Workbook_NewSheet(ByVal Sh As Object)
Sheets("Template").Cells.Copy
Sh.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
If fps = 1 Then
Call convertmkstofps ' this macro will make changes in few cells
to FPS units
ElseIf si = 1 Then
Call convertmkstosi ' this macro will make changes in few cells
to SI units
End If
End Sub


But this doesn't seem to work,I tried to display fps and si in
message box it doesn't show any value.
I have declared these values as public as u see in Note 3 above the

command button click event,then too its scope is limited only till the
form.


Plzz tell me how do I do this,I mean access (optfps and optsi) values
or (fps and si )in the Workbook_NewSheet(ByVal Sh As Object) event

Divya

Default How to protect few cells of the worksheet from editing?and few

Hi Stefi
I placed the public variables at wrong place so was getting such an
error.I sorted it out.
You had sent me this code for copying

Private Sub Workbook_NewSheet(ByVal Sh As Object)
Sheets("ExistingSheet").Cells.Copy '<--CHANGE the sheet name as necessary
Sh.Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
End Sub


But when new sheet is created it has the whole sheet selected.I have to
click on the new worksheet to deselect.Can't I deselect in the code
itself??
I added the line sh.deselect but it doesn't work.Tell me why it gives
error and how to do .
regards
Divya

Default How to protect few cells of the worksheet from editing?and few

Hi divya,

Deselect is not an existing method in VBA. A certain range (it may as well
be a single cell) is always selected. So simply select something else, say A1
as in the starting position of a worksheet, insert this line as last line in
the sub:

Range("A1").Select

Hi Stefi
I placed the public variables at wrong place so was getting such an
error.I sorted it out.
You had sent me this code for copying

Private Sub Workbook_NewSheet(ByVal Sh As Object)
Sheets("ExistingSheet").Cells.Copy '<--CHANGE the sheet name as necessary
Sh.Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
End Sub


But when new sheet is created it has the whole sheet selected.I have to
click on the new worksheet to deselect.Can't I deselect in the code
itself??
I added the line sh.deselect but it doesn't work.Tell me why it gives
error and how to do .
regards
Divya

Hiiii
1.I have a form which is loaded on workbook_open event.
2.On this form There are two option buttons namely optSI and
optFPS.the user selects one and clicks Ok button
3.Now the onClick event for OK has following code
Public fps, si As Integer ' I want to know scope of
these variables
Private Sub CmdOK_Click()
If OptFPS Then
fps=1
Sheets.Add
ElseIf optSI Then
Sheets.Add
si = 1
End If
Unload Me
End Sub
4. Now when a sheet is added I want to
1. call convertmkstofps if optfps is selected
2 call convertmkstosi if optsi is selected

How can we do this??What I did is
I wrote followinfg code in the Workbook_newsheet event


Private Sub Workbook_NewSheet(ByVal Sh As Object)
Sheets("Template").Cells.Copy
Sh.Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
If fps = 1 Then
Call convertmkstofps ' this macro will make changes in few cells
to FPS units
ElseIf si = 1 Then
Call convertmkstosi ' this macro will make changes in few cells
to SI units
End If
End Sub


But this doesn't seem to work,I tried to display fps and si in
message box it doesn't show any value.
I have declared these values as public as u see in Note 3 above the

command button click event,then too its scope is limited only till the
form.


Plzz tell me how do I do this,I mean access (optfps and optsi) values
or (fps and si )in the Workbook_NewSheet(ByVal Sh As Object) event

Divya

Hi Stefi,
I want the new sheet to inherit the protected cells from its
template.Can I do this?Example Consider a worksheet named EMP has 3
headings Name Place Age in cells A1 A2 A3 ,I have locked the 3 cells
and protected this work sheet.Now I put the workbook event code .So
when new workbook is created all the the three fields Name Place and
Age are Copied into this sheet.but they are now not protected.I want
all the new sheets to have these fields cells as protected.Can I do
this directly in the workbook event or I will have to again follow the
steps to protect cells every time I make new sheet and manually protect
these cells?

Hi Stefi,
I got the way to protect cells,thnk u for tht,but in the 2nd
question I also want the new worksheet to gain the protection for the
same cells along with getting pasted.I jsut started learning VBA a week
back,writing macros,wanted to know how do I get to know which methods
or properties to use,I think it all comes with experience,I hope one
day I too will be able to clear doubts of the questins posted.

Coming back to my question no 2
1.Hey I copied the event code u sent me ,when I inserted a new sheet
its just selecting all the cells of the new sheet as per sh.select but
not pasting the contents of the cells from the template worksheet .I
don't understand why. Its selecting the contents to be copied from the
template sheet,because on new sheet when I am clicking ctrl+v its
pasting the content but in the workbook_event code its not.Reply back
plz.

2.As per my understanding the code you sent will copy the entire
contents of the template sheet to the new sheet,can I modify the code
to copy only selected cells like only the headings titles and not the
entries below it.ok will try and do it.at present its not pasting
anything.

3.Also I wanted to have the new worsheet with the same protected cells
as its template has.

tell me how to do it.

Thanks a lot for ure time and help ,
