When I run this code in the open workbook event. It locks all of th
formulas but still allows the use of command buttons.

But if I uncomment the line below it promps the user for a passwor
once for each sheet in the workbook(9 shts)

If I comment it out it protects everything I want but protection can b
turned off without a password

Dim Sht As Worksheet
Const Pass As String = "hello"

On Error Resume Next
For Each Sht In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
With Sht
.Protect UserInterFaceOnly:=True
'.Unprotect Password:=Pass
.cells.Locked = False
.cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas).Locked = True
.Protect Password:=Pass
End With

Try this,

Dim Sht As Worksheet
Const Pass As String = "hello"

On Error Resume Next
For Each Sht In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
With Sht
..Cells.Locked = False
..Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas).Locked = True
..Protect UserInterfaceOnly:=True, Password:=Pass

End With
Next Sht

Thanks that worked but with one strange result. I have a command butto
that sorts by Col A, if the sheet is protected it sorts by Col B?

I've checked the code and can't imagine what would make it do that.

Thank

I do not see how it would sort by column B with this code, also there is no
need to select the range, you could do it like this

Range("A4:AY298").Sort Key1:=Range("A4"), _
Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, _
Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, DataOption1:=xlSortNormal
