How to Unlock Worksheets with a Macro?
Good morning. A couple of weeks ago, someone from this forum, was very
helpful in my question on how to unprotect protected worksheets, with similar passwords, with a macro. Below is a copy of the VB script I was given. It worked but then I realized, the password "hi" is now visible under the macro script. Is there a way to rewrite the code so that it will not show the password and instead when the macro is run, one has to enter the password before the macro can unprotect the protected worksheets? thank you very much, Storm Option Explicit sub testme() dim myPWD as string dim wks as worksheet myPWD = "hi" for each wks in activeworkbook.worksheets wks.unprotect password:=mypwd next wks end sub |

Check your other post.
It's not necessary to post the same question to multiple newsgroups. But if you think you must, then instead of multiposting (the same/similar question sent to individual groups), you could crosspost (single question sent once to all the groups).

Will do. Wasn't getting any hits initially...so I thought if someone was
responding more under the other forum, I'd give it a try. "Dave Peterson" wrote: Check your other post. It's not necessary to post the same question to multiple newsgroups.

How to Unlock Worksheets with a Macro?
The bad news is that if you do this, it usually ticks people off--they've wasted
their time since you have an answer somewhere else. And you have multiple spots to check, so it can waste your time, too. But worst is that you don't get as many answers that build on a previous response--since the responses can be in several newsgroups. Storm wrote: Will do.

attention to all posts from this poster (at least I do that) -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...
