Hi
I want to learn when I use := or () or "argument" when I use a function. I tried to write workbooks(1). protect in 3 ways and they all works! which got me more confused. Why the 3 of them accepted.



Workbooks(1).Protect "123"
Workbooks(1).Protect ("123")
Workbooks(1).Protect password :="123"

I just read that a function need () if it returns a value, but this function returns nothing then why Workbooks(1).Protect ("123") accepted? Thank you.
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
