Help with unprotecting worksheet in Excel 97
Hi
If you are using a command button to run the code, Be sure to set the Takefocusonclick property of the command button to false. If that does not work, select a cell on the worksheet first like the code below. If ActiveSheet.ProtectContents = True Then Cells(1, "a").Select ActiveSheet.Unprotect End If It works for me.
