password protect
 

I have a sheet that is password protected and is protected
against comments and scenerios but not objects. I wrote a
macro that would unprotect the sheet, alter a few things,
then reprotect it.

Here is the code: Sheets("Time").Unprotect
Password:="TimeFlash" ... then later Sheets
("Time").Protect Password:="TimeFlash"

However, by default, this protects it against comments,
scenerios and objects. I don't want it to protect against
objects. What is the better code?

password protect
 

from help on the protect method:

expression.Protect(Password, DrawingObjects, Contents, Scenarios,
UserInterfaceOnly)

so use the appropriate arguments.

From XL/VBA Help:

Protect Method
...
Protects a chart or worksheet (Syntax 1)...
Syntax 1
expression.Protect(Password, DrawingObjects, Contents, Scenarios,
UserInterfaceOnly)

So

Sheets("Time").Protect _
Password:="TimeFlash", _
DrawingObjects:=False, _
Contents:=True, _
Scenarios:=True
