Macro doesn't work when I use Protection
 

I have a macro to insert rows in my worksheet. When I turn on protection, so
user can only access unlocked cells, my macro will not work. How can I use
both the macro and the protection option?

unprotect your worksheet before you do your code and then protect when done
ie...
you can remove the password key word if there is no password
ie
activesheet.unprotect


sub insertrows()
activesheet.unprotect password:="enter your password here"
'insert rows edit cells whatever here
activesheet.protect password:="enter your password here"
end sub

Is there a way to have a password on a sheet or workbook and have VBA still
unlock and protect with same password after. At present I try and get box to
enter password.
Any ideas Thanks a lot
