Hi,

I have got a sheet Report data in which except one cell ( cell A3 ) the
whle
sheet is protected. I want user to enter info in this cell before exiting
the workbook otherwise the workbook will not save. Similarly when I open
the
worksheet I want to copy excel to automatically copy the A3 cell to J3
cell
and make the A3 cell blank.

I wrote the following code. When I open the worksheet excel asks me for
the
password. Cant excel automatically unlock the sheet and then lock the
sheet.
Do I have to give the password here. if so, please tell me what would be
the
syntax of the same.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Sheets("Report Data").Unprotect

Sheets("Report Data").Cells(12, 10) = Sheets("Report Data").Cells(3, 1)
Sheets("Report Data").Protect

Sheets("Report Data").Cells(3, 1) = ""

End Sub
