You could use a macro like this:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim dCtr As Long
Dim wks As Worksheet

dCtr = DateSerial(2008, 10, 2)

For Each wks In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
wks.Name = Format(dCtr, "yyyy-mm-dd")
dCtr = dCtr + 1
wks.Protect Password:="TopSecret"
Next wks
End Sub


If you're new to macros:

(General, Regular and Standard modules all describe the same thing.)
