Can I protect all excel tabs in a file with one password entry
Does the address of the range change for each sheet?

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.

"Dave Peterson" wrote: Just use ws.unprotect password:="123" to unprotect the sheets. They all share the same password, right?
