Is there a way to create a macro that sorts a protected worksheet where some of the cells are locked without putting the protection password in the macro?
I've created a workbook that is used for keeping track of baseball stats. On one of the worksheets (that is protected) I have an area where the user can enter the stats for there players but the player name and a few other columns are locked (un-editable). I'm trying to create a macro to sort the stats based on the batting average, but in order to keep everything lined up correctly I need to sort the unlocked cells along with four columns of locked cells. I can't figure out if that possible.
Like I said, I got it to work by adding code to unprotect the sheet before sorting, then protecting it again after the sort, but I had to put the protection password in the code to do it. That defeats the purpose of password protecting the sheet in the first place because any can get the password by browsing the code.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
