Hi
I know how to protect workbook in vba using
Code:
workbooks(1).protect
workbooks(1).unprotect

What I want to do is to ask user this question:

do you want to protect workbooks? yes/no

If user say yes then I do
wrokbooks(1).protect

If user say no then I do
workbooks(1).unprotect

Any idea how this can be done? I know I need to use If statement but how can I get the Yes and No from the user? Thank you very much.
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Maybe this

Code:
Sub MM1()
Dim ans As String
ans = MsgBox("Do you want to protect the workbook ? ", vbYesNo)
If ans = vbYes Then
Workbooks(1).Protect
Else: Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
