Unprotect workbook
 

Hi,
To unprotect a sheet with a click on a pushbutton I wrote:

Private Sub CommandButton5_Click()
Dim thing As Worksheet
For Each thing In Worksheets
thing.Unprotect
Next thing
End Sub

But what is the syntax to unprotect and protect a workbook?
Thanks

Unprotect workbook

BTW, an easy way to both code and discover coding for operations that can be
done with menu items or mouse controls is to just start recording a macro,
perform the task you want with the mouse, stop recording and cut what you
want out of what you recorded.

Hi
I the code of a pushbutton I wrote:

Private Sub CommandButton5_Click()
ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect
Dim thing As Worksheet
For Each thing In Worksheets
thing.Unprotect
Next thing
End Sub

This seems to work but, when protected I still can choose a cell (but I can
not change anything... that's OK)
What to write so I can't even choose the cell??
Thanks

Hi
this is an option of the protect worksheets dialog. To get the syntax
for this you may record a macro while manually protecting a sheet
