I have below code that works ok but if i run it twice it seems to toggle protect and unprotect.... leaving the workbook unprotected....!

Is there a way i can stop this?

Code:
Sub HideChart()
ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect (1234)
Sheets("Chart").Visible = False
ActiveWorkbook.Protect (1234)
End Sub

Get help while writing formula
Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
In fact if I F8 through this it toggles protect on and off!!!

Is this my Officeintallation problem???

Code:
Sub Test ()
ActiveWorkbook.Protect (1234)
ActiveWorkbook.Protect (1234)
End Sub
