Cancel of text box leaves sheet unprotected

Macro I am using unprotects my sheet so that it can run then uses a msg box
followed by an info box entry as a component of the save name for a new file.

Problem happens when user tells the msg box no, OR cancels out of the info
box, Sheet is left unprotected. I have not been able to resolve myself or
piece together code from your answers to other questions to stop this problem.

Code I have is:

Sub saveit()
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="'"
Sheets("dms wizard").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="'"

response = MsgBox("Generate New System DMS?" _
, vbYesNo, "Save As")
If response = 6 Then
Name = InputBox("Enter System Name", "Path Will Be L:\E&T Pillar\KCS
Library\DMS\<Dept Name>\<System Name>.DMS")
If Name = "" Then End
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="L:\E&T Pillar\KCS Library\DMS\" &
Range("C8").Value & "\" & Name & ".DMS.xls"

Can you help me reprotect in the event of a "no" or a cancel?

Sub seeIfThishelps()
If MsgBox("Generate New System DMS?", _
vbYesNoCancel + vbQuestion, "Save As") <> vbYes Then
MsgBox "This is what happens if user clicks no or cancel"
Exit Sub
End If
MsgBox "This is what happens if user clicks yes"

End Sub

Thanks Mike! Code works great but I'm not quite smart enough to be able to
get it to do what I need.
If I add it in addition to existing code, it didn't work on NO/Cancel
selection of my Msg Box, but did give me a 2nd Msg Box that and I was able to
make it work if No/Cancel was chosen for that box.
I've tried about 50 variations of blending the 2 codes together with the
varying degrees of negative results...
The closest I got was with this:
sub saveit()
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="'"
Sheets("dms wizard").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="'"

response = MsgBox("Generate New System DMS?" _
, vbYesNoCancel, "Save As")
If response = 6 Then
Name = InputBox("Enter System Name", "Path Will Be L:\E&T Pillar\KCS
Library\DMS\<Dept Name>\<System Name>.DMS")
If Name = "" Then End
If MsgBox("Generate New System DMS?", _
vbYesNoCancel + vbQuestion, "Save As") <> vbYes Then
MsgBox "You Have Chosen to NOT Generate DMS-Make any desired Changes and
Select Green Button When Ready"
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="'", DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True,
Scenarios:=True
Exit Sub
End If

Which as I said worked on the 2nd box but not the 1st. Any Ideas on what I
need to do to get my "Input box save" from Yes and an immediate Protect Sheet
and exit sub from No, Cancel or X'ing out???
