The red line of text has not produced an error before but now does and I'm not sure why. The cells of this line just have a word or set of numbers, a "password" of sorts. Any ideas what might pop the error?

Thanks.

Note: i've only pulled a section before this code is LONG. Happy to pull more if needed. Also- there are lots of little "development phase" notes....sorry.

Rich (BB code):
Private Sub Workbook_Open()


'On Error GoTo Helper
Dim sProcname As String
    Dim resp As String
'This will show the Userform 1 when starting and hide the excel sheet in the background
'Also checks to see if program has ever been run, and if not, loads program for the first time
Application.Visible = False
Dim s As String
Dim namer As String
Dim d As Variant
Dim ExpirationDate As Date
Dim pass1 As String
Dim pass2 As String




With Sheets("Developer")
    s = .Range("B34")                   'username
    'pass1 = .Range("B15:E15").Value     'sheet unprotect
    'pass2 = .Range("B39").Value         'date password
    ExpirationDate = .Range("E37")      'expiration date
    d = .Range("B39").Value             'registration key
    initialdate = .Range("C36")         'initializing date
End With




'ExpirationDate = (Sheets("Developer").Range("E37"))     'expiration date
'edate = Sheets("Developer").Range("E37")
namer = Sheets("Notes").Range("N4")                     'just a name






s = GetSetting("DemoTest", "Registration", "Username")
'Sheets("Developer").Unprotect Password:=Worksheets("Developer").Range("B15:E15").Value, UserInterfaceOnly:=True
If s = "" Then
        Sheets("Developer").Unprotect Password:=Worksheets("Developer").Range("B15:E15").Value, UserInterfaceOnly:=True
        Sheets("Developer").Range("B34:F34").ClearContents
        's = InputBox("Welcome to the " & namer & " Voyage Reporting System." & vbCrLf & "Please input the appropriate name to initialize the system for the first time." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Note: this information can be modified later by clicking on the [Developer] button.", namer, "Bridge")
        'UserForm17.Show
        s = cInputBox()
        'MsgBox s
 
You set the UserInterface when protecting a sheet, not when Unprotecting.
So simply change Unprotect to Protect
