Hello all,
I am having an issue now when I run my code to uprotect a password protected Sheet and run the code. My code is attached to an ActiveX control button and is simply this:

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()


ActiveSheet.Unprotect (My Password)
'my code
ActiveSheet.Protect (My Password)
End Sub

After I protect the sheet with the My Password it says my password is not correct.
The real password Consists of four uppercase letter, followed by four numbers. Yes I checked my caps lock.

This was working before but is now all of the sudden not working.
Anyone know what may be going on here?

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Why do you need to unprotect the worksheet before running your code?

If you include
Code:
UserInterfaceOnly:=True
as one of the arguments in the
Code:
ActiveSheet.Protect (My Password)
line, your code should work without having to first unprotect the sheet.
