Hi,
In a workbook with many worksheets, all of which are protected, I was
wondering if it was possible to display (perhaps in A1) a letter or symbol to
indicate if the sheet you're looking at is protected or not. After making
changes to various sheets, I then have to check each one to ensure I have
reset the protection.

Thanks

Jock,

I don't believe that protecting a sheet fires any of the workbook/worksheet
events. You could try this which will write the protection status of each
worksheet to A1 of that sheet. When you think you've protected each sheet you
can run it again to confirm it.

Sub stance()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.ProtectContents = True Then
ws.Unprotect Password:="Mypass"
ws.Range("A1").Value = "Protected"
ws.Protect Password:="Mypass"
Else
ws.Range("A1").Value = "Unprotected"
flag = flag + 1
End If
Next ws
MsgBox "There are " & flag & " Unprotected worksheets"
End Sub
