Hello Experts, in the attached workbook, i have two sheets ie template and setup. On the "setup" sheet, when you enter a text in column B, and click create template, the macro for that button will always pick the last text in column B and create a template using the last text entered as the sheetname. Everything looks perfect in terms of the formating and the formulas that the macro creates. The issue is that after the template is created, you may want to prevent users from tampering with the formulas so i added a bit that should lock the formulas and the worksheet, after the macro successfully executes this command, all the formulas are turned into values as such the template becomes cos 90 ie formulas dont work again, pls is there a way around this. thanks
the password is "test" Sub createtemplate() Dim strtname As String strtname = Sheets("SETUP").Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp) 'option to create sheet Sheets.Add After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count) ActiveSheet.Name = strtname Sheets("SETUP").Select 'option to copy sheet format Sheets("template").Select Cells.Select Selection.Copy Sheets(strtname).Select Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormulas, Operation:=xlNone, _ SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False 'option to paste sheet values and formulas Sheets("template").Select Cells.Select Application.CutCopyMode = False Selection.Copy Sheets(strtname).Select Range("A1").Select ActiveSheet.Paste 'protects the worksheet ActiveSheet.Outline.ShowLevels RowLevels:=1 ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="test" ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True End Sub -- Join official Facebook page of this forum @ https://www.facebook.com/discussexcel FORUM RULES 1) Use concise, accurate thread titles.
