I attach two Excel spreadsheets that were created in Excel 2007. First one uses workbook_open (userinterfaceonly) procedure to keep all sheets protected when various VBA modules are run; the second one uses workbook_sheetactivate (userinterfaceonly) procedure to achieve similar effect.
However, both spreadsheets give 'wrong password error' when used on Excel 2013 and when a standard VBA is run that includes: [login to view URL] Password:="passwordhere" command. I added an 'unprotect workbook' button to make it easier to replicate the problem.
The task is:
1) to explain why these spreadsheets (created in Excel 2007) do not unprotect/protect in Excel 2013.
2) to find a solution to this problem, to send a working spreadsheet and to give instructions on how to modify the original files (it is essential to this project that I can replicate your solution).
3) once you have a solution check whether there are any problems with protect/unprotect sheet on Excel 2013. If yes then these have to be fixed as well.
NOTE: I noticed that often with the workbook_sheetactivate procedure, the workbook can by unprotected but only if I do not change a tab. Once I select a different tab and then press 'workbook unprotect' button then an error pops-up.
All passwords (VBA, sheet, workbook) are included in the spreadsheets.
The lowest bid with the lowest delivery time will win this project. Thanks.
Dear terefere,
VBA expert here. I've unlocked the vba project to see the code. The command written(below) for excel 2007 or 2010 is not supported by excel 2013.
[login to view URL] Password:="asfASfds342Das", UserInterFaceOnly:=True
I know the alternate option. Please install teamviewer and give me remote access to your machine. I'll fix this for you right now.
Best Regards,
Microk
