Thisworkbook refers to the workbook containing the code:

Sub ProtectSheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Unprotect Password
ws.Protect Password, True, True, True, True
Next ws
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Hi everyone. I have the following code that protects all sheets in the
workbook. I have now copied this code and inserted it into my personal
workbook, so I can run it on all files. But it doesn't work. I'm
assuming
it is protecting and unprotecting sheets in my personal workbook only, and
NOT the active workbook. What should I do? Thanks!!

Sub ProtectSheets()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Unprotect Password
ws.Protect Password, True, True, True, True
Next ws
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
