Protecting Sheets
 

Pete,

Here is a sample that I use.
At the start of the code I unprotect the sheets so the
rest of my code can run:

Sheets("Raw Data").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="yourpassword"
Sheets("Output Page").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="yourpassword"

Then I password protect the sheets again:

Sheets("Raw Data").Select
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True,
Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True, Password:="yourpassword"
Sheets("Output Page").Select
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True,
Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True, Password:="yourpassword"

Make sure you also password protect the code.

Protecting Sheets
 

Yes you can. Here is sample code. This uses the active
sheet but you can do a select of any sheet also.

Sub ProtectWorksheet()
ActiveSheet.Protect password:="password"
End Sub

Sub UnprotectWorksheet()
ActiveSheet.Unprotect password:="password"
End Sub
