Public Password
 

I have a series of forms that gather information and save it to various sheets.
Each form needs to save this information to protected sheets, I use
ActiveSheet.Unprotect "xxx"
When I open the form and then close it with
ActiveSheet.Protect "xxx"

I would like to have one central point to able to change the password as
necessary
I have played around with the public statement with no luck, any suggestions
Thanks

Public Password
 

At the top of a General module--not behind ThisWorkbook and not behind a
worksheet:

Option Explicit
Public Const myPWD as string = "xxx"

'then any code can use that myPWD constant

sub testme()
activesheet.unprotect password:=mypwd
end sub
