Hello,

I'm trying to create a macro to protect all sheets at the same time. Below is what I have been trying, but its not working. ANy ideas?



Sub protectsheets()
Dim wSheet As Worksheet
For Each wSheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
wSheet.Protect Password:="margin"
Next wSheet
End Sub


Sub unprotectsheets()
Dim wSheet As Worksheet
For Each wSheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
wSheet.Protect Password:="margin"
Next wSheet
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Try
Code:
   If wSheet.Visible Then wSheet.Protect Password:="margin"

If the sheet is in veryhidden it also protects it, then:

Code:
Sub protectsheets()
    Dim wSheet As Worksheet
    For Each wSheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
        If wSheet.Visible = xlSheetVisible Then
            wSheet.Protect Password:="margin"
        End If
    Next wSheet
End Sub
