Conditional protection of worksheets on save

[Kelvin Stott]

Please help:

I need a macro that will automatically protect each sheet in a workbook when the workbook is saved, but only those sheets where the value of a certain cell has a specific value.

For example, when the workbook is saved, all sheets with cell B2 = "YES" should be protected, but not the others.

Any ideas how to do this please?

In the ThisWorkbook module put

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim sh As Worksheet
    For Each sh In Sheets
        If sh.Range("B2") = "YES" Then sh.Protect "Password"
    Next sh
    
End Sub

That worked great - thank you!!

How would I edit this to protect all sheets, no conditions, no password?

(Excel 2000)

Thanks!

Sorry for the duplicate post

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim sh As Worksheet 'replace worksheet with sheet, if you want to include chartsheets
    For Each sh In Sheets
        sh.Protect
    Next sh
    
End Sub

 

[Legacy 194999]

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim sh As Worksheet 'replace worksheet with sheet, if you want to include chartsheets
    For Each sh In Sheets
        sh.Protect
    Next sh
 
End Sub

Perfect, perfect, perfect. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I'm using microsoft office proffessional plus 2010.

I want to protect worksheets once a particular review date for that sheet has passed. I've tried modifying the code as follows:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim sh As Worksheet
For Each sh In Sheets
If sh.Range("A1") < "TODAY()" Then sh.Protect "Password"
Next sh

End Sub

but it ends up with the whole workbook being protected when I hit save, regardless of what's in A1. What am I doing wrong?

(sorry complete code numpty here )

Try

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim sh As Worksheet
For Each sh In Sheets
    If sh.Range("A1").Value < Date Then sh.Protect "Password"
Next sh
End Sub

Thanks, but that protects every sheet in the workbook even if the cell is empty! I tested it in a blank workbook.
