Hi,

I have writen a macro and the report goes to my clients.

While running the macro the sheets should get unprotected & once is
procedure is done it should get protected again.

Here is my problem.

Code
'Sheets("Key Analysis").Unprotect
'Sheets("Additional Analyis").Unprotect

While unprotecting it is asking for a password which I dont want to
give to the clients


'Sheets("Key Analysis").Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True,
Scenarios:=True
'Sheets("Additional Analyis").Protect DrawingObjects:=True,
Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True

While protecting it is not asking for a password it is smply
proctecting it without password.

Please help

Try,

Sheets("Key Analysis").UnProtect Password:="Mypass"
'do something
Sheets("Key Analysis").Protect Password:="Mypass"

That will get around asking for the password but it provides only minimal
security. If your clients want to remove the pasword they could do so very
easily with a simple google search for 'Remove Excel passwords'.

Can you give me some more information to protect it strongly so that
users cannot do any thing.

I did as you said and its working fine....

Thank you for your co-opration.

Hi,

There is no way to protect a worksheet or VB code that can withstand even a
slightly determined attack. This type of protection is to prevent accidental
deletions or to deter the casual fiddler. If you looking for security, Excel
can't provide it

Thanks for you update.

How can i hide my VBA codes so that no one can see the script.
