Good Morning Everyone,

I was given an excel file that is password protected and I have the password. However, I am unable to scroll past certain points of sheets. When I drag my scroll bar it resorts back to a certain column. I am also unable to select an entire column or row. I tried a few VBA codes but couldn't get anywhere. Any ideas on what I can do to be able to view all the information?


Regards,

Dastnai

It sounds like there may be some event code doing that. Right click the tab for that worksheet and select View Code from the popup menu that appears. Is there any code in the code window that appears. If so, see if any of it is blocking your efforts. If there is no code there, double click the ThisWorkbook item in the Project-VBAProject window inside the VBA editor. Is there any code there? If so, see if any of it is blocking your efforts.

Thanks! I was able to find the code. How do I make the changes necessary to unlock?
