Your code worked fine for me.

Did you create another sub or function and name it Unprotect? If you did, then
change the name of that sub/function to something else.

Each time I attempt to run the unprotect macro, I receive an error which
points to the line "ws.Unprotect Password:="123"

If you protect the sheets without supplying a password, then the code won't need
to use a password, either.

But if you use a password manually, you'll need it in code, too.

I think you made a typo when you made that suggested change.

Post your current code and indicate the line that caused the error.

If I simply replace the protect with unprotect, I receive the following error

Also...is there a way to perform these macros without requiring a password?

Just use

ws.unprotect password:="123"

to unprotect the sheets. They all share the same password, right?

Does anyone know how to do the reverse (i.e. unprotect all sheets at once)?

Does anyone know how to incorporate the allow-users-to-edit-certain-ranges
part into this protection macro?

Thank you!

I am looking to be able to do this as well. I was able to use the coding
above to lock all worksheets at one time but I haven't been able to add the
allow-users-to-edit-ranges.

Can someone please help me?

Does the address of the range change for each sheet?
