It is not really worth checking. Just run the unprotect. You can however
check to see if it is protected something like this...

dim wks as worksheet

for each wks in worksheets
if wks.protectcontents = true then wks.unprotect
next wks
--
HTH...

How would I check to see if the activesheet is protected? I know how to
protect and unprotect programmatically, but only want to unprotect it if it's
already protected.
