Default Unprotect workbook accidentally?

OK, Workbook Protection is enabled. Once I unprotect the workbook, then I
can unhide and edit the hidden worksheet. Sorry for any confusion. Is there
anyway to get around the workbook protection to view/print the hidden
worksheet without entering a password? Thanks!

FormatSheetUnhide etc. being grayed out indicates to me that you have the
Workbook Protection enabled, not Worksheet Protection.

Worksheet Protection still allows sheets to be unhidden as Piranha states.

Maybe both are protected.

somehow unprotected the sheet. She claims this person is a novice user

hardly knows his way around a computer. Is it possible to somehow
"accidentally" unprotect a workbook? Thanks for your help!Hi jped,

I may be missing something here but just password protecting a
worksheet and hidding it,
does not stop you from going to "FormatSheetUnhide" and unhiding it.


Unless its "xlSheetVeryHidden" with code.

Am i wrong?
