Hi I want to run macros on protected sheets
I need people to be able to fill out data on certain sheets and run buttons on sheets ie print,save,edit etc.
Any help on this would be great,
regards
Sean.

Hi @sean1541

The problem you will face is that protected sheets cannot handle macros.

One possible solution would be to insert a code that unprotects the sheets before running the macro and protects them again after macro was run.
The downside of this is that you'll expose your password in the VBA code.

I found an interesting post that you may want to read an another post that sounds promising.
