Can you write a macro to protect all sheets? I have many workbooks that have many sheets. They are veiwed by many people. I have to revise them frequently. The normal Tools, Protection, etc. on every sheet is a pain.
 

Excel Facts

Highlight Duplicates
Home, Conditional Formatting, Highlight Cells, Duplicate records, OK to add pink formatting to any duplicates in selected range.
Following should work OK, change the password to suit :-

Public Sub ProtectAll()

Dim ws As Worksheet

For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Protect password:="MyPass", DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
Next ws

End Sub

I have many password protected workbooks/sheets. This is a great help. Thanks.

Now, can the reverse be done? Unprotecting all sheets at one time?

(Sort of) the reverse: -

Public Sub DeProtectAll()

Dim ws As Worksheet

For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Unprotect password:="MyPass"
Next ws

End Sub
