Hello all,
I have recently moved into the testing of a very large excel document for my place of work and after I locked everything that I do not with for those using it to touch all of my vba stopped working. I was wonding if there is a way to lock pages but not hinder the vba's access to information?
Anything would be helpful,

1) Let the workbook unlock and lock itself again when the workbook is opened and during the "lock again" process, add the parameter UserInterfaceOnly=True to the lock command. This parameter does not survive the workbook being closed and reopened, so you have to set it again.
Once this is set this way, VBA can continue to operate on those sheets since the "lock" only applies to Users, not to VBA.
You can Google more information / examples of this parameter quite handily.
2) Change all your macros so they unlock the sheet(s)... do their stuff... then lock the sheet again.
I would use #1 as it's less work.

Hello,
Thanks for the response! I will probably go with number 1 for simplicities sake.
Have a great day,
Sleepyshy
