I have a spreadsheet that I locked down with a password so users couldn't accidentally do things to wreck it. My supervisor now wants to be able to edit it and I have tried to comment out all the sections of protecting the worksheets in the project and it still is protecting itself after I click on a button. The button previously had .protect code in it and is commented out now.

Where else do I look to get rid of the extra bits of code that protect it?
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
The situation isn't entirely clear, so maybe this won't be suitable - just comment out ALL code.
