Excel Facts

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
Hello,
fine you are ex-hell ! :)
I wouldn't like to be in there :(
reducing your code to what's important to your problem
Code:
Private Sub worksheet_activate()
ActiveSheet.Protect UserInterfaceOnly:=True

If Range("n4") > "" Then
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="rp"

ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="rp"
End If
If Range("n4") = 0 Then
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="rp"

ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="bhprp"

End If
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="rp"

ActiveSheet.Protect UserInterfaceOnly:=False
End Sub
just unprotect your sheet at the start of your macro and protect at the end
using the SAME password (only one key to heaven :) )

does this help ?
kind regards,
Erik
