Allow users of protected sheet to use macro involving custom filte
Hi:
I have created a macro that works for me when unprotected. However, when I re-protect it before sending to mass users, it will not allow the custom filter part of the macro to occur and returns an error. I have tried checking the box in 'Protection'- 'Protect Sheet' that allows auto filter but there does not seem to be an option for custom filter. Is there a way around this without un-protecting the sheet? thank you! |

What you would normally do is to include two lines in your macro - one
immediately before what you want the user to do will unprotect the sheet (by having the password embedded within the macro) and one immediately after to protect the worksheet again. You should note that users who have Excel 2000 and earlier will not be able to use autofilter when a sheet is protected. Hope this helps.

Allow users of protected sheet to use macro involving custom f
Can I do this by including the un-protect/re-protect step in the macro as I
am recording it? sort of book-end the macro with the password protection at both ends?

Not while recording but you can edit afterward.
Sub Macro1() ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="justme" do your recorded stuff ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="justme" End Sub Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 17 Jun 2008 07:54:01 -0700, Roady wrote: Can I do this by including the un-protect/re-protect step in the macro as I am recording it? sort of book-end the macro with the password protection at both ends?
