I am trying to apply a macros to an active x button. When checking the button, it should enter password to unprotect worksheet, it wll only show rows of all true statements retrieved from Column AL, when unchecked it should allow the user to view all rows regardless if AL column is true or false, then apply the password again to lock the work sheet. This is my formula for the checkbox. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Code:
Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
  If CheckBox1 Then
  ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="Insight"
  ActiveCell.Locked = True
  
    Range("AL5:AL154").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="TRUE"
  Else
    ActiveSheet.AutoFilterMode = False
    
    ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="Insight"
    ActiveCell.Locked = False
    
  End If
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
I left out some information, sorry about that. I click on the button to check it, it works, to uncheck it; it give me a debug flag. ActiveCell.Locked = False is highlighted.
