Protect ALL sheets in one coded macro

[Corey]

How can i word a code to protect ALL sheets in a workbook in a single step,
rather than individually?

Sub protect()
' Macro recorded 24-11-2006 by Corey
'
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet 10").protect Password:="1234" ' <=== Some
thing like this workbook.worksheets(all).protect password:="1234"
ActiveSheet.protect
End Sub


How can i write this?

Give these a try...

Sub ProtectAll
dim wks as worksheet

for each wks in worksheets
wks.protect Password:="1234"
next wks
end sub

Sub UnProtectAll
dim wks as worksheet

for each wks in worksheets
wks.unprotect Password:="1234"
next wks
end sub

I have not tried this but it might work:

Sheets(Array("Sheet1","Sheet2", name each sheet in this manner)).protect
Password:="1234"

Else

x=1
for each sheet in workbooks
if x > sheets.count then exit for
end if
Sheets(x).protect Password:="1234"
next x

thanks Paul.

I have placed a command button on sheet1 to call the code you posted, but it
seem to ONLY apply to the sheet1.
Although the code refers to all sheets?
Why would this be?

never mind.
worked it out.
Had cells selected as locked cells can be selected in some sheets.
