First, you should know that it takes about 30 seconds, for anyone with
enough gumption to find these newsgroups, to bypass worksheet protection:

and have access to your formulae.
You could set a reminder in a Workbook_BeforeSave() event macro. Put
this in your ThisWorkbook code module:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave( _
ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim nResult As Long
nResult = MsgBox( _
"Did you protect the worksheet?", _
Buttons:=vbYesNo)
Cancel = nResult = vbNo
End Sub

I am a newbie here, so please pardon my ignorance. At times I have to
prepare for a small business, customers proposals and have to use many
mathematical formulae. I often forget to lock and hide the cells and
customers can see our formulae. Not good.
I wondered if anyone can help me with a way to automatically remind me
to protect the worksheet upon saving the file after working on it or
editing, so that I won't ever email an unprotected sheet by mistake
again. Thanks in advance.
