Hello, I'm trying to use a toggle button to protect and unprotect a worksheet. I have this code
Code:
Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
If ActiveSheet.ProtectContents = True Then
    ActiveSheet.Unprotect "test"
Else
    ActiveSheet.Protect "test"
End If

End Sub

Although, It works (in a sense that the toggle button in fact protects/unprotects the sheet), Excel doesn't ask me the password each time I press the button to unprotect the sheet. Which is also what I want. Thank for your help in advance. Regards
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Remove the password from the .Unprotect line and it will prompt the user for the password if it was protected with a password.

Code:
Private Sub ToggleButton1_Click()
If ActiveSheet.ProtectContents = True Then
    ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Else
    ActiveSheet.Protect "test"
End If


End Sub

Thats because you are supplying the password in your code. To get the password prompt change this line:

Code:
ActiveSheet.Unprotect "test"

to this

Code:
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
