possible to record vba editing as a macro

[Gizmo]

Excel2003 and 2007

I have an application that has worksheet and workbook unprotection and
protection at the begining and end of every procedure. When I have to do any
debugging, everytime i change a view or click on a button my workbook and
sheets are reprotected.

Is there a way (Easy) to comment out all the protection while i'm debugging
and then un-comment it after i'm done?

I was thinking maybe a sub routine i can assign to a button.

Is it possible to use macro recorder inside the VBE?

Try disabling events while debugging.

Sub disable_events()
Application.EnableEvents = False
End Sub

Sub enable_events()
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Hi Gord,

I still want to be able to run the prucedures to make sure my "fixes" work.
I just don't want to have to unprotect after every button click.

Run Gord's disable_events procedure before you start your development work.

Do all your changes.

Run the enable_events when you're done making changes and ready to test.

Yea, I got that.

I was hopin to comment out the protection only and still be able to run
everything else.

Thank You

Don't know what your code is doing and how many sheets are affected.

Sounds like some of the code involves events if changing a view triggers
code.

You could run this macro when necessary.

Sub UnprotectAllSheets()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim N As Single
For N = 1 To Sheets.Count
Sheets(N).Unprotect Password:="justme" 'adjust to suit
'Sheet(N).UnProtect 'if no password
Next N
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Short of that I can't think of a way to achieve your "comment out" the
protection lines in all subs and modules.
