I have the following save macro that unlocks a cell, saves the file with a new name and then locks the cell again to protect a formula. The issue I'm having is when it locks the sheet again, it does not allow my pictures in the report to be modified. Is there something I can add to the code, that will check the "edit object" & "edit scenarios" during the cell lock function?

Sub SaveFile()
'
' SAVEFILE Macro
'Dim sNameSheet As String

sNameSheet = Range("NAME").Value

ActiveSheet.Unprotect "password"
Sheets("report").Range("Date").Value = Now()
ActiveSheet.Protect "password"

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\documents" & sNameSheet

'
End Sub


I appreciate the help and feedback.

Thanks,
Brian

Try recording a macro while you manually protect a sheet with the check boxes selected that you want. Copy the parameters of the recorded Activesheet.Protect line to your code.
