You can still run macros even if the sheet is being protected. By the way, how are you currently running them. As for you other posts, are you running the web query though a macro, or have you set it up.

Dinesh,

Try the following to unprotect the activesheet:-

..unprotect password:="yourpasswordhere"

To protect the sheet try:-

..protect password:="yourpasswordhere"

Hi,

I am getting the following error when I run the macros while the sheet being protected.

" Run time error '1004' Sort method of range class failed"

Actually I am refreshing a web query through macro.

& dear pank... I don't know where to put the code.. Please tell me in detail.

Have a Nice Day !

How about just unprotecting the worksheet, run your code and reprotect the
worksheet?

Unprotecting the sheet, running code & again protecting sheet..

That's not the solution.

I remember there is some method of modifying the VBA code... by entering the password in the code... I am not able to recall

**tkaplan** · 09-27-2005, 01:27 PM

modify the code to unprotect the sheet as the first line of the macro and protect as the last line. a previous post states that code.

hit alt+f11 to open the vba window and add the code to the correct macro

Thanks kaplan.

Is that code correct? I am getting some error.

Can you please modify my code. My code is :

Sub name()
'
' name Macro
' Macro recorded 3/14/2005 by Dinesh
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+q
'
Range("A3:az28").Sort Key1:=Range("A4"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:= _
xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, _
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
End Sub

Regards,

sub name()

..unprotect password:="yourpasswordhere"

...the code that is currently there....

..protect password:="yourpasswordhere"

end sub

make sure you change "yourpasswordhere" to what your password is.

**dinesh** · 09-27-2005, 01:42 PM

I am not getting it... does those two dots need to be there...

Can you please modify my code...

I am getting errors like... 'Can't execute in breake mode' 'Identifier or bracketed expression'

I will fill the password field...
