Add protect worksheet password in macro
 

I created 43 sets of workbooks that need to be locked and protected from end
users. I have created a macro that will clear the previos days numbers and
copies on cell to another which are both locked. My macro won't run with
those two cells being locked. I tried to create a macro that unprotects the
worksheet, does all actions needed then protects the worksheet again. When I
run the macro the first thing that pops up is the password entry box. It
didn't put the password I entered in the code. Can I add the password to it
and if so how? I'm new at writing macros and code in Excell.

Add protect worksheet password in macro
 

Kelly, here is one way,

Const PW As String = "123" 'Change Password Here
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:=PW
'you code here
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:=PW
