Tony:
Unless you really need a check box to select/deselect which sheets to
protect/unprotect, you may want to try the following - Each protects or
unprotects all worksheets, as well as the workbook itself.
I attached each one to an icon on a special tool bar, for easy
accesss/operation.
Hope this helps.

Sub DraftProtectionOff()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.ProtectContents = True Then
ws.Unprotect ("WSPassword")
End If
Next
ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect (["WBPassword"])
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Sub DraftProtectionOn()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.ProtectContents = False Then
ws.Protect ("WSPassword")
End If
Next
ActiveWorkbook.Protect (["WBPassword"])
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

Hi Floss

ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="me"
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="me"

this unprotects / protects the activesheet
when you want to specify the name of the sheet you can use

ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1).Unprotect("YourPa ssword")
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1).Protect("YourPass word")

Cheers
