Hi Mike,
You can insert the rows with a macro, as long as the macro
turns off protection. You do not need a password for protection
but if you do, then the macro would have to use that password.
For macros to insert rows see

For the code for protection off and on, record a macro.

I notice that in Excel 2003 you can protect a sheet but have an option that
would continue to allow rows to be inserted. Is there a way to do this in
Excel 2000? When I protect the sheet then row inserts are no longer
allowed.

Thanks for any help.
Mike B
