Macros

[Lois]

Hi.
I have 2 questions:
1. how does one know the Visual Basic codes to create a macro?
2. I have a workbook with a macro that is set to protect all the sheets and
unprotect them, (i just copied the macro from another workbook) however it
keeps saying the password is incorrect & is failing to run. in addition, it
now wont let me unprotect the spreadsheet manually (tools, protection,
unprotect sheet) as it doesnt recognise the password. I have been using this
password in the past to unprotect the workbook! Is there any way i can
'Hack' into the workbook?!

Experience and practice. You can usually use the macro recorder to get you
started.

2. I have a workbook with a macro that is set to protect all the sheets
and
unprotect them, (i just copied the macro from another workbook) however it
keeps saying the password is incorrect & is failing to run. in addition,
it

For question 1, Buy a good book, some thing like Excel Step by Step, bu
a really good start would be to us the macro recorder to record a
everyday task then take a look at the code!, Excel will give you a lo
of code that you don't need but it will give you a good start

As for question 2, look at the macro for the protect/unprotec
portions, directly after .Protect you should see Password:= this will b
the password to unprotect the sheets. If you do not have access to th
code project then i suggest you have a word with the author of thei
workbook
