    Talking Macro to file values & formats, & alter protection

    Hi Gurus!

    I have a sheet used to process sales orders - about 500 orders per month x ~1.5Mb each. I want to save them as smaller files.

    The sheets to save are full of vlookups linked to external sheets and tabs, other formulas, and macros - most of which do not need saving when the sales order is filed. There are lots of merged cells too.

    I must save:
    1. Cell values
    2. Cell formats incl merged cells, borders, colour, font etc.
    3. The row and column sizes
    4. Print set ups - print area, margins, page setup, header footer etc - (Everything needed to reprint to same as original)

    I think I need a "File save as" style Macro which opens a dialogue box for the user to nominate the destination folder (& allows the user to browse for it), and a new file name.

    The original file name is "Job Sheet - Omlaw.xls"
    The tab/sheet to save is "Front Sheet"
    (There are two other tabs - neither of which need saving.)

    All cells to be changed to "locked".
    The sheet must be password protected in Excel. User to enter it - or not.
    The saved file should be "write protected" if possible?

    What would you recommend?

    Ben
