Hi

you'll need to uprotect the sheet at the start of the macro and protect it
again at the end
e.g.

sub mymacro()

activesheet.unprotect ("pwd")
'current code

activesheet.protect ("pwd")
end sub

where pwd is your password

use macro on a protected sheet
 

If you are protecting the worksheet from the VBA code you
might try this:

Dim x as Boolean

x = Worhsheets(1).Protect_
(DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, _
Scenarios:=True, UserInterfaceOnly:=True)

The last arg sets the protection so that a macro can alter
the sheet but a user cannot.

Hope this helps

Tony
