I need an unprotected image in a protected worksheet

[captzero]

Hi,
I'm using VBA to unprotect a worksheet and fetch a product image and place it in 4 worksheets (in the same merged cell range in all sheets) and then protect the sheet again.
Not all the images users will be inserting have the same dimensions and I'd like the inserted image to be resized by the user if its too long for the cell range etc.
How am I able to make it so that the inserted image remains unprotected once the worksheet is protected?

Sub Insert_Product_Image()
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="000000"
  Dim fNameAndPath As Variant
  Dim img As Picture
  Dim SheetsNames(), i As Long
  Dim rng As Range
  Dim sh As Worksheet
  
  SheetsNames = Array("Project Pricing Calculator", "Customer Job Quote", _
                      "Customer Invoice", "Customer Receipt")
  fNameAndPath = Application.GetOpenFilename _
("(*.gif; *.jpg; *.bmp; *.tif; *.jpeg; *.png), *.gif; *.jpg; *.bmp; *.tif; *.jpeg; *.png", _
, "Select your Product Image to Import")
  
If fNameAndPath = "False" Then
Sheets("Project Pricing Calculator").Protect Password:="0000002"
Exit Sub
End If

  For i = LBound(SheetsNames) To UBound(SheetsNames)
    Set sh = Sheets(SheetsNames(i))
    'Delete the old image to put the new image
    On Error Resume Next: sh.Pictures("NewPicture").Delete: On Error GoTo 0
    Set rng = sh.Range("E8:G16")
    Set img = sh.Pictures.Insert(fNameAndPath)
    With img
      .Name = "NewPicture"
      'Resize image to fit in the cell range....
      .ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoTrue    ' lock aspect ratio checkbox not selected
      .Left = rng.Left
      .Top = rng.Top
      .Width = rng.Width
      .Height = rng.Height
       'Centre image in merged cells
      .Top = rng.Top + (rng.Height - .Height) / 2
      .Left = rng.Left + (rng.Width - .Width) / 2
      .Placement = 1
      .PrintObject = True
    End With
  Next i
  ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="000000"
  Worksheets("Project Pricing Calculator").Activate
End Sub

Hi there

Try replacing

ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="000000"

with

ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="000000", DrawingObjects:=False, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True

Try this.
