Email Macro to change file name and add password protect worksheets based on cell values

Hello!

I have a macro that creates and emails each worksheet to a different end user. I want to 1) change the file name that the worksheet is saved as to the value in a cell (A1) – it currently saves as the wb name and date. 2) Find a way to password protect the new ws based on a cell value (B1) so that each sheet has a unique password.

Other info: Not every sheet has data in those fields (Macro only processes sheets that have an email address). There is a master password on the workbook, but the current macro runs fine (each new sheet is unprotected).

Here is my current code:

Code:
Sub Email_Each_Sheet()
'Working in 2000-2010
    Dim Source As Range
    Dim Dest As Workbook
    Dim wb As Workbook
    Dim TempFilePath As String
    Dim TempFileName As String
    Dim FileExtStr As String
    Dim FileFormatNum As Long
    Dim OutApp As Object
    Dim OutMail As Object
 
For Each sht In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets
If sht.Range("A60").Value Like "?*@?*.?*" Then
sht.Activate
SendTo = sht.Range("A60").Value
 
    Set Source = Nothing
    On Error Resume Next
    Set Source = Range("A2:H46").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
    On Error GoTo 0
    If Source Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox "The source is not a range or the sheet is protected, " & _
               "please correct and try again.", vbOKOnly
        Exit Sub
    End If
    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = False
        .EnableEvents = False
    End With
    Set wb = ActiveWorkbook
     
    Set Dest = Workbooks.Add(xlWBATWorksheet)
    Source.Copy
    With Dest.Sheets(1)
        .Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=8
        .Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues
        .Cells(1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
        .Cells(1).Select
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
        ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect Password:=.Range("G3").Value
    
    End With
    TempFilePath = Environ$("temp") & "\"
    TempFileName = wb.Name & " " _
                 & Format(Now, "mm-dd-yy")
    If Val(Application.Version) < 12 Then
        'You use Excel 2000-2003
        FileExtStr = ".xls": FileFormatNum = 56
    Else
        'You use Excel 2007-2010
        FileExtStr = ".xls": FileFormatNum = 56
    End If
    Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
    With Dest
        .SaveAs TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr, _
                FileFormat:=FileFormatNum
        On Error Resume Next
        With OutMail
            .to = SendTo
            .CC = ""
            .BCC = ""
            .Subject = "Subject"
            .body = "body."
            .attachments.Add Dest.FullName
            'You can add other files also like this
            '.Attachments.Add ("C:\test.txt")
            .Display 'or use .Send
        End With
        On Error GoTo 0
        .Close SaveChanges:=False
    End With
    Kill TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr
    Set OutMail = Nothing
    Set OutApp = Nothing
    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = True
        .EnableEvents = True
    End With
    End If
    Next
End Sub

Thank you for your help!

Oops!

The line of code:

ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect Password:=.Range("G3").Value

is in my post in error, please disregard that line.

Update: I solved my naming problem by changing the line below


TempFileName = sht.Range("A1").Value & Format(Now, "mm-dd-yy")


Now I just need to figure out how to add the password!

Finally figured it out:

Code:
.SaveAs TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr, _
 FileFormat:=FileFormatNum, Password:=sht.Range("G3").Value
