How do you automatically prtotect multiple worksheets

Is it possible to automatically protect and unprotect multiple worksheets using a macro? Is it also possible to hide and unhide multiple worksheets using a macro?

Thanks

RE: How do you automatically prtotect multiple worksheets

Hi Ryan. The simplest way to generate the code for this is to record a macro and then carry out the tasks. You can protect the current worksheet by accessing the ActiveSheet.Protect object and sheets can be similarly hidden simply by specifying which ones you want. Create macros to protect/unprotect, hide/unhide, assign them to icons on your toolbar and you're away!

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Excel tip:

Adding up time greater than 24 hours

When you add up time if it exceeds 24 hours i.e 27 hours appears as 03:00. Go to Format / Cells / Number / Custom. The format is hh:mm but if change it to [hh]:mm it will add up to the correct amount of hours.
