Hi,

I have the following code in a module:
Sub ProtectWorkbook()
ThisWorkbook.Protect Structu=True, Windows:=False, password:="xxxx"
End Sub

When I run this, the workbook remains unprotected. I am using Excel
2007. Am I doing anything wrong?

(I tried running through the code using F8. It runs but the workbook
remains unprotected).

Thanks in advance for the help.

Regards,
Raj

Hi,

I was wrong. The workbook is indeed protected. The confusion arose
because when the worksheet is protected, the icon under Review Tab,
becomes "Unprotect Worksheet", whereas it remains the same viz.
"Protect Workbook" in case of a Workbook. I was wrongly assuming that
the workbook was not protected going by this icon.
