Checking whether a workbook has been unlocked
I am trying to find an attribute that will allow me to check if the
currently open workbook is protected or if the user has unlocked it. I only want a user to be able to click on a couple buttons if they've unlocked the book. My VBA code locks the workbook as soon as it is opened, but I want people who know the password to be able to unlock the book and use these buttons. I've tried using ThisWorkbook.VBProject.Protection but I get an error saying that Method "VBProject" of object "_Workbook" failed and I haven't been able to find anything else in the google newsgroups.

Define what you mean by locked. Show the code that locks the workbook.

Sure. I have this in the Workbook_Open() Sub.
