VBA password protect
 

Hi

I have got this macro to run when opening. All works, but when I password
protect the sheet, and then close and open i get a run error.

I am not fluent with VBA and get by by recording and pasting other work off
the treads

Can anyone let me have the VBA code for protect / unprotect. and where it
should be entered in the code below . The password is "template"

thanks in advance

Private Sub auto_Open()
Sub averagesort()
Range("A6:AI36").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("C6"), Order1:=xlDescending, Header:=xlGuess,
_
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlBottomToTop
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 6
Range("A3").Select
End Sub

hi brian,

you may use this :

Private Sub auto_Open()

Worksheets("-Name of your worksheet-").unprotect password:="template"

Sub averagesort()
Range("A6:AI36").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("C6"), Order1:=xlDescending,
Header:=xlGuess,
_
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlBottomToTop
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 6
Range("A3").Select

Worksheets("-Name of your worksheet-").protect password:="template"

End Sub

best regards, ernest goh

VBA password protect
 

if you are using the active sheet and not using a password, use
ActiveSheet.Protect
ActiveSheet.Unprotect

If you are using a password,
ActiveSheet.Protect password:="whatever"
ActiveSheet.Unprotect password:="whatever"

Hi Brian

Try this as an example. Name one of your worksheet as "WTD". I teste
it out and it worked so you shouldn't have any problems.

Private Sub auto_Open()

Worksheets("WTD").Unprotect password:="template"

Sub averagesort()
Range("A6:AI36").Select
ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 6
Range("A3").Select

Worksheets("WTD").Protect password:="template"

End Sub

Best regards, Ernest Goh
