You can't just blank out the password from the code and make it go away. You
have to unprotect the worksheet or workbook.

ThisWorkbook.Unprotect "password"

or

ActiveSheet.Unprotect "password"

Then save the file, close and re-open. It should not ask for the password.

asks me for the password. Why is this?
