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?
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
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.
