    VBA Button to Hide/Unhide Rows on Protected Sheet

    Hey all,

    This is my first crack at VBA, so bear with me.

    I'm trying to create a VBA button to hide or unhide specific rows at the user's discretion, on a protected sheet.

    I've seen a lot about UserInterfaceOnly mode, but there seems to be some compatibility issues between it and the button I created.

    This is what I have for the UserInterfaceOnly, applied to the This Sheet module, which is a direct copy/paste:

    My button uses this:

    I'm sure that I butchered it, and there's an easier way to write it, but it's what I could manage. This isn't something that would occur on every sheet, or on the same rows of each sheet. I'll likely be using similar code for single rows on an "Organic Alert" button, as well as adding a few sheets to it. The code functions (albeit a little slowly) when the sheets aren't protected.

    I had thought that maybe the Allergen Alert code needs to be on the This Workbook module with the UserInterfaceOnly mode, but that just rendered my button unusable, and I know that the UserInterfaceOnly code needs to be in This Workbook, so I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. The error occurs right out of the gate, at the first .EntireRow.Hidden = False, and it hits me with an error that says: Run Time Error '1004': Unable to set the Hidden property of the Range class.

    Thank you in advance.

    Re: VBA Button to Hide/Unhide Rows on Protected Sheet

    Administrative Note:

    Welcome to the forum.

    We would very much like to help you with your query, however you need to include code tags around your code.

    Please take a moment to add the tags. Posting code between [CODE]Please [url=https://www.excelforum.com/login.php]Login or Register [/url] to view this content.[/CODE] tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, and it also maintains VBA formatting.

    Please see Forum Rule #2 about code tags and adjust accordingly. Click on Edit to open your post, then highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here

    (Note: this change is not optional. As you are brand new here, I have done it for you this time.)
