Userform entry on a Password protected worksheet

0

I'm using a userform to input data into a second sheet (database). I need the database to be protected to prevent users from editing the formulas.

I tried the " ActiveSheet.Unprotect:="Password" " but it doesnt work.

I have also tried the sheet name: HearingAids.Unprotect:="Password" without success.

Password: AD2022

Hi Aletia and welcome to the Forum

If you have a worksheet already protected with the password AD2022, unlock it using:

ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="AD2022"
but you can omit the Password:= bit). Better to specify the sheet, so:
Worksheets("HearingAids").Unprotect "AD2022"

Similarly, to re-appy the protection, use:

Worksheets("HearingAids").Protect "AD2022"

Hope this helps.
