VBA: Auto Protect Upon Close and Insert Rows Not Operating Together

Hi,

I've set about identifying VBA code to achieve the following two objectives:

1) Auto-protect all worksheets in a workbook upon close of file; and
2) Insertion of rows.

Having located VBA code on the forum for both, and created macros, I find that while both macros work fine independent of one another, they unfortunately do not operate together as required. More specifically, when I attempt to insert a row (I have created a command button to execute the macro for insertion of rows) I receive the following error message "Run-time error ' 1004': Insert method of Range class failed".

The VBA code I am using for the auto-protect function is:

Code:
Option Explicit

' Change the password "pass" to your password (include the apostrophes)


Sub Auto_Close()
Dim w As Worksheet
For Each w In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
w.Protect Password:="pass"
Next
End Sub

The VBA code I am using for the insert rows function is:

Code:
Option Explicit
Sub InsertRowsAndFillFormulas_caller()
  '-- this macro shows on Tools, Macro..., Macros (Alt+F8) dialog
  Call InsertRowsAndFillFormulas
End Sub
 
Sub InsertRowsAndFillFormulas(Optional vRows As Long = 0)

' Re: Insert Rows --   1997/09/24 Mark Hill <markhill@charm.net.nospam>
   ' row selection based on active cell -- rev. 2000-09-02 David McRitchie
   Dim x As Long
   ActiveCell.EntireRow.Select  'So you do not have to preselect entire row
   If vRows = 0 Then
    vRows = Application.InputBox(prompt:= _
      "How many rows do you want to add?", Title:="Add Rows", _
      Default:=1, Type:=1) 'Default for 1 row, type 1 is number
    If vRows = False Then Exit Sub
   End If


   'if you just want to add cells and not entire rows
   'then delete ".EntireRow" in the following line


   'rev. 2001-01-17 Gary L. Brown, programming, Grouped sheets
   Dim sht As Worksheet, shts() As String, i As Long
   ReDim shts(1 To Worksheets.Application.ActiveWorkbook. _
       Windows(1).SelectedSheets.Count)
   i = 0
   For Each sht In _
       Application.ActiveWorkbook.Windows(1).SelectedSheets
    Sheets(sht.Name).Select
    i = i + 1
    shts(i) = sht.Name


    x = Sheets(sht.Name).UsedRange.Rows.Count 'lastcell fixup


    Selection.Resize(rowsize:=2).Rows(2).EntireRow. _
     Resize(rowsize:=vRows).Insert Shift:=xlDown


    Selection.AutoFill Selection.Resize( _
     rowsize:=vRows + 1), xlFillDefault


    On Error Resume Next    'to handle no constants in range -- John McKee 2000/02/01
    ' to remove the non-formulas -- 1998/03/11 Bill Manville
    Selection.Offset(1).Resize(vRows).EntireRow. _
     SpecialCells(xlConstants).ClearContents
   Next sht
   Worksheets(shts).Select


 End Sub

Your assistance in resolving this problem is much appreciated.</markhill@charm.net.nospam>
