Other sheets are being select for the purposes of protecting/unprotecting
them.:

ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Sheets("September - November").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Sheets("December - February").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Sheets("March - May").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Sheets("Annual").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect

Could not come up with a way to protect/unprotect them without them being
active.

Hi Patrick,

the op must have code selecting other sheets elsewhere.

If, as Gary surmises, sheets are being selected elsewhere in your code,
then I would suggest that you rewrite the code to eliminate such
selections: these are rarely necessary and are ususually inefficient.

If, for any reason, sheet selections are unavoidable, try the following
approach:

'=================
Public Sub AAA()
Dim theSheet As Worksheet
Dim theRng As Range
Dim theCell As Range

Set theSheet = ActiveSheet
Set theRange = Selection
Set theCell = ActiveCell

'Your code

theSheet.Activate
theRng.Select
theCell.Activate

End Sub
'<<=================

Hi Patrick,

How can I get it to return me to the worksheet that was active when
the code was run?

The suggested code makes no selections. Therefore, the active sheet
remains unchanged by the macro

Thank you that worked great. So of course it leads to one more
question:

How can I get it to return me to the worksheet that was active when
the code was run?

Hi Patrick,

1. Is there a shorter way to select all worksheets?

Yes: Sheets.Select.

Unfortunately, unlike in Excel, VBA requires each sheet to be
addressed separately.

Try, therefore, something like:

'=================
Sub Test03()
Dim SH As Worksheet
Dim rng As Range
Const strAdd As String = "A1301"

For Each SH In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
Set rng = SH.Range(strAdd)
rng(1, 1).Value = TextBox3.Text
rng(1, 2).Value = TextBox5.Text
Next SH

End Sub
'<<=================

In the code below I am attempting to select all of my worksheets,
then select cell A1301 and past the data from textboxes into cell
A1301 and B1301 of all the Worksheets. What happens is that all of
the worksheets are selected and cell A1301 is selected on all the
worksheets but the data is only placed on the 1st worksheet (June -
August). So two questions:

1. Is there a shorter way to select all worksheets?
2. How can I paste the TextBox values to all of the worksheets?


Dim rng
Set rng = Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 1)

Sheets(Array("June - August", "September - November", "December -
February", _
"March - May", "Annual")).Select
Sheets("June - August").Activate

Range("A1301").Select

rng(1, 1).Value = TextBox3.Text
rng(1, 2).Value = TextBox5.Text
