Workbook_beforesave question
Calgarychris,
I wonder if it's because you are using an Excel keyword, "Protect", as a module name? You might try renaming, in any event it's recommended not to name variables, etc. with Excel keywords. hth, Doug "Calgarychris" wrote in message ... Hi, I've scanned the Q&As for this but I can't seem to get the beforesave event to work. All I want to do is, just before saving, a macro would protect each sheet in the spreadsheet. I can run that macro easily enough on its own, but when I call that sub from the beforesub it doesn't seem to fire...it doesn't even allow me to step through it. Obviously I'm very very green at all this...I checked my application.enableevents was true (I'm not even sure what that does!), I've checked that it's located in the Thisworkbook section...I can successfully run a workbook_open event. I'm not sure if maybe I haven't declared something correctly, or do I need to pass something to the save event??? Please help! Thanks! The following is cut from my Thisworkbook section: Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) Call protect End Sub Protect is as follows (in my Module 1): Sub protect() Dim wb As Workbook Dim sh As Worksheet Set wb = ThisWorkbook Application.ScreenUpdating = False For Each sh In wb.Worksheets sh.protect Password:="xxxx", DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True Next sh Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub -- Thanks! |

Workbook_beforesave question
Chris,
Your very welcome. I'm glad it worked. The best list I know of is the Object Browser in the VBE. Mostly though, it's just something to be aware of. If you think you're using a keyword, you can hover over it and press F1. If Help comes up with "Keyword not Found" then your golden. Doug "Calgarychris" wrote in message ... Doug - you're brilliant...Thanks so much! Is there a list somewhere of key words to avoid? I have zero VBA knowledge aside from one book and a little bit of fumbling. Thanks again! Chris -- Thanks!
