Is there a way to create a macro that sorts a protected worksheet where
some of the cells are locked without putting the protection password in
the macro?

I've created a workbook that is used for keeping track of baseball
stats. On one of the worksheets (that is protected) I have an area
where the user can enter the stats for there players but the player
name and a few other columns are locked (un-editable). I'm trying to
create a macro to sort the stats based on the batting average, but in
order to keep everything lined up correctly I need to sort the unlocked
cells along with four columns of locked cells. I can't figure out if
that possible.

Like I said, I got it to work by adding code to unprotect the sheet
before sorting, then protecting it again after the sort, but I had to
put the protection password in the code to do it. That defeats the
purpose of password protecting the sheet in the first place because any
can get the password by browsing the code.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.
