I have a sheet that upon opening a macro runs to hide a selection of columns based on cell containing certain words (see here).
I now also require the workbook to be protected so that the hidden columns (which Im sure are locked as default when hidden) are locked as are columns N & S. Now, I know I can do this by protecting the sheet and unprotecting the columns I require (ie N & S - with the hidden cells remaining locked anyway).
The issue is, every time the workbook is opened this protection must be in place.
However, I require a button, which could simply reside in A1, that when pressed, will unhide and unlocked all cells. - This is needed as its vital I can easily copy rows to another sheet (and delete from existing sheet) as and when required.
if possible, re-pressing the button would hide and proetct the worksheet however this is not too significant as long as when I close and open the workbook everything is hidden and protected as specified above.
There is no need to password protect anything.
Ive had a good search of the forums and have little bits of info from varuious threads. Any help would, as ever, be much appreciated.
Oh and the sheet in question is called 'Open Projects'.
