Way to by pass PW to hide sheet
 

Hello,

I have a sheet in my workbook that need to be protected, then hidden. I
need to write a macro to perform these task.
I ran into the problem with the macro because the sheet can not be
protected in order to be protected. It gave me an error.

Is there a way in the macro to protected the sheet then hide the sheet
by ignoring the protection? Thanks

Try some code like the following:

Dim WS As Worksheet
Set WS = Worksheets("Sheet1")
WS.Visible = xlSheetHidden
WS.Protect Password:="ThePassword"
