Unprotect question.
 

In response to a recent posting, JulieD helped out someone with a script to
unprotect and the protect a worksheet. It works great for me, except for one
thing. When I go up to unprotect the worksheet, it doesn't prompt me for a
password. I've checked VB help, but still cannot find a solution. Below is
her script and the script I used to incorporate hers. Any help would be
appreciated :)

_JulieD
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1).Unprotect("YourPa ssword")
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1).Protect("YourPass word")

_Mine
Sub unpro_pro()
Range("B2").Select
Worksheets("sheet1").Unprotect Password:="YourPassword"
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[1]C[4]"
Range("B2").Select
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
Worksheets("sheet1").Protect Password:="YourPassword"
End Sub

Hi

Instead of this,

Sub unpro_pro()
Range("B2").Select
Worksheets("sheet1").Unprotect Password:="YourPassword"
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[1]C[4]"
Range("B2").Select
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True,
Scenarios:=True
Worksheets("sheet1").Protect Password:="YourPassword"
End Sub


Try it like this

Sub unpro_pro()
Range("B2").Select
Worksheets("sheet1").Unprotect Password:="YourPassword"
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=R[1]C[4]"
Range("B2").Select
Worksheets("sheet1").Protect Password:="YourPassword",
DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True

End Sub

I didn't check the Protect syntax for the order of the items following
protect, but it seemed to work for me.

Unprotect question.
 

To explain, basically when you tried to protect the sheet with a password,
the line before had already protected the sheet with no password. Hence no
password box if you clicked tools, unprotect sheet, because there was no
password.
