I would like to have my macro, which is driven from sheet 1 of a
workbook, unprotect sheet 2 of the same workbook, then make changes to
sheet 2 (which consist of simply hiding some rows depending on
variables entered on sheet 1), and then reprotect sheet 2. I do not
plan to password protect sheet 2, but I do not want someone to
accidentally change a cell on sheet 2 before or after the macro has
done its thing. Thanks to help from people on this group, the macro
works on the sheet if it is unprotected. Now I am on the next stage.

Thanks in advance for the help for this old timer, ex-fortran
programmer - yep, that old...
