Turning off/on protection in a macro

[Lucas]

How do you turn off and on the protection of a workbook in a macro?

 

[Chip Pearson]

Worksheets("Sheet1").Unprotect
or
Worksheets("Sheet1").Unprotect password:="whatever"

If you include the UserInterfaceOnly flag when you Protect the sheet, your
VBA code can do whatever it wants on a protected sheet. E.g.,

Worksheets("Sheet1").Protect UserInterfaceOnly:=True
