Hi guys

I want to have a macro that protects the active sheet, but still allows other macros/vba to edit the sheet i.e. only the user is restricted in terms of protection. The ffg is the code I've written however, it fails when another macro/vba attempts to edit the sheet

Sub ProtectSheet()
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="ria", UserInterfaceOnly:=True
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _
, AllowFormattingCells:=True, AllowFormattingColumns:=True, _
AllowFormattingRows:=True, AllowSorting:=True
ActiveSheet.EnableSelection = xlNoRestrictions
End Sub

Any ideas?

Copy PDF to Excel
Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
In your code that edits the sheet, remove the protection, edit the sheet, add the protection back.
