The following code clears the raw data out of the data entry worksheets in
the workbook. Here is the macro: Private Sub ClearAllData() Dim ws As Worksheet Dim rRangeStart As Range Dim rRangeErase As Range Dim lRow As Long Dim wsSheet1 As Worksheet Dim sPWORD As String Application.EnableEvents = False Set wsSheet1 = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1") For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets If ws.Name < "Totals" Then wsSheet1.Visible = True wsSheet1.Range("D2") = ws.Name sPWORD = wsSheet1.Range("D1") With ws .Unprotect Password:=sPWORD End With Set rRangeStart = Range("A8") With ws.Range("A7").CurrentRegion lRow = .Rows(.Rows.Count).Row End With Set rRangeErase = Range(rRangeStart, Cells(lRow, "P")) rRangeErase.ClearContents <------ THE CELL OR CHART YOU ARE TRYING TO CHANGE IS PROTECTED AND THEREFORE READ-ONLY With ws .Protect Password:=sPWORD End With End If Next ws wsSheet1.Visible = False Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub The problem is that the "protection" is not XL protection, but created by an event driven macro. When the user attempts to enter data, s/he is prompted for the password for that particular sheet. The passwords are stored in a normally hidden sheet ("Sheet1"). I thought that by turning off EnableEvents, the sheet protection macro would no longer be triggered and I could edit these sheets. Why is this not so? Is there an easy fix? |
