You can still run macros even if the sheet is being protected. By the
way, how are you currently running them. As for you other posts, are
you running the web query though a macro, or have you set it up.

Dinesh,

Try the following to unprotect the activesheet:-

..unprotect password:="yourpasswordhere"

To protect the sheet try:-

..protect password:="yourpasswordhere"

How about just unprotecting the worksheet, run your code and reprotect the
worksheet?

UNPROTECTING THE SHEET, RUNNING CODE & AGAIN PROTECTING SHEET..

THAT'S NOT THE SOLUTION.

I REMEMBER THERE IS SOME METHOD OF MODIFYING THE VBA CODE... BY
ENTERING THE PASSWORD IN THE CODE... I AM NOT ABLE TO RECALL

modify the code to unprotect the sheet as the first line of the macro
and protect as the last line. a previous post states that code.

hit alt+f11 to open the vba window and add the code to the correct
macro

::Thanks kaplan.

Is that code correct? I am getting some error.

Can you please modify my code. My code is :

SUB NAME()
'
' NAME MACRO
' MACRO RECORDED 3/14/2005 BY DINESH
'
' KEYBOARD SHORTCUT: CTRL+Q
'
RANGE(\\"A3:AZ28\\").SORT KEY1:=RANGE(\\"A4\\"),
ORDER1:=XLASCENDING, HEADER:= _
XLGUESS, ORDERCUSTOM:=1, MATCHCASE:=FALSE,
ORIENTATION:=XLTOPTOBOTTOM, _
DATAOPTION1:=XLSORTNORMAL
END SUB

sub name()

..unprotect password:="yourpasswordhere"

...the code that is currently there....

..protect password:="yourpasswordhere"

end sub

make sure you change "yourpasswordhere" to what your password is.

copy and past the following code as is to replace what you currently
have: just change the password field:
sub name()

..unprotect password:="yourpasswordhere"

Range("A3:az28").Sort Key1:=Range("A4"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=
_
xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom,
_
DataOption1:=xlSortNormal

..protect password:="yourpasswordhere"

end sub

Good evening Dinesh

Why not use this line of code at the start of your module:

ActiveSheet.Protect UserInterfaceOnly:=True

This will allow your macro to make changes to your sheet with the
protection still in place. This will not automatically take effect
every time the workbook is opened, so you would have to tie it to an
event procedure to run it every time the file is used.
