Hi All,

I have built one macro , which adds the code (write/add event automatically) to new sheet.

code works fine up to mark. but since this particular stuff will be using by10-30 user so there is possibility someone can mess with code or not intentionally change the code.

I'm looking to protect the VBA project but if I protect, macro can't write code (add write/add event automatically) because of protection.

I would be wondering is there way to unlock the property first (through VBA code) and end of macro re-protect the property.


Any help would be much appreciated.



Regards,
Mukesh Y

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
thanks for your quick reply.

"Sendkey" is something I avoid using, I'm looking for other method let't see if I find out.

Probably the bigger issue is that you need to close and reopen the workbook after re-protecting the vbproject othetwise it won't take effect.
