Thanks Jim. There is no SQL topic so I thought Programming was as close as I
would get to a correct topic.

If a macro can do this before the SQL kicks in then that will work for me. I
already have the protect and unprotect statements I need. How would I design
a macro to run before the SQL statements?

posted you question in the programming section where the most likely response
is going to involve a macro.

Hello all.
I have 2 SQL queries that automatically import data from an Access database
into 2 different sheets on my spreadsheet when the spreadsheet opens. I need
to unprotect the sheet prior to the import, then protect it after the import.
I have looked at several posts but they all have to do with macros. Any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!
