Enable Copy and Paste Functions in a protected worksheet
copy the entire worksheet into a empty workbook. The new workbook will not
have any protection. "LRay67" wrote: How do I go about letting users utilize the copy and paste function when worksheet is protected? Thanks Linda |

Enable Copy and Paste Functions in a protected worksheet
I need to have the worksheet protection so the users do not mess with the
function that was built into the worksheet. Is there a code that would allow users to copy and paste? "Bob" wrote: copy the entire worksheet into a empty workbook.

Enable Copy and Paste Functions in a protected worksheet
I am a little unclear as to your problem. You can copy and paste into any
unlocked cell on a protected sheet. What you can not do is to copy and paste into locked cells. Did you want to copy and paste into locked cells. If so then why bother protecting the sheet as anything can be overwritten with a copy paste??? -- HTH...

Enable Copy and Paste Functions in a protected worksheet
You are correct...I think I found my problem in the area that is unlocked, I
have 3 columns merged together and it gives a different error as to the merged cells.....the only way I see around this is to redo the area and not have the merged cells. On another note though: I have text boxes that won't allow users to copy and paste into another worksheet tab. Is there any way around this issue?

Enable Copy and Paste Functions in a protected worksheet
Merged cells are a royal pain. Instead of meging the cells try changing the
cell Formatting. If you right click the cells and select Format Cells... - Allignment tab - Horizontal - Center across selection. You get formatting similar to a merged cell without the limitations of a merged cell. -- HTH...

Enable Copy and Paste Functions in a protected worksheet
Thanks for the info.....I went ahead and just unmerged the cells to correct
that particular problem. Do you know how to fix the other problem below?? I have text boxes that won't allow users to copy and paste into another worksheet tab. Is there any way around this issue?

Enable Copy and Paste Functions in a protected worksheet
the only issue that springs to mid is if you have some sort of event code
running when you change sheets. That could be clearling the clip board of the copied text... -- HTH...

Enable Copy and Paste Functions in a protected worksheet
Jim, the problem is they can't even do a right click on the mouse to even
copy the data in the text boxes. Now they can highlight the data, do a control 'c', then a control 'v' to copy and paste into the next sheet. But most users do not know the shortcuts with copying and pasting data. The code that we have built into the workbook (worksheet) should not prevent them from doing the normal right click and copy then paste. Not sure what the answer would be, but maybe they are just out of luck. Or just inform them of the shortcut mentioned above.
