i am trying to run a workbookopen macro but i keep getting an error staing
that i am trying to edit a protected worksheet or cell. I do have all of the
worksheets in this workbook protected but i am trying to run a macro to clear
certain cells at open . Can someone tell me how to write it so that it
unprotects all of the worksheets before it tries to clear the cells?

Hi kcdonaldson,
Record a macro that unprotects the worksheet, select a cell so that
you will have a distinct separation between the two parts, then
protect the worksheet. During the recording if a password was used
it will be recorded. You will then have the code that you can incorporate
before and after coding that you are doing to each sheet.--
