Is it possible whilst running a macro to un-protect a password protected worksheet without the user being prompted to enter a password, then running whatever macro code has been written, then re-protecting the worksheet with the same password, again without the user being prompted for a password?

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
The general syntax within your procedure could be something like:

ActiveSheet.Unprotect ("PASSWORD")
'Your code goes here
ActiveSheet.Protect ("PASSWORD")

Of course, modify for actual password characters.
