Hi.
I wrote the vba below to keep a workbook open until a certain date then lock it. When I try to unprotect I get "this password you supplied is not correct. Verify that the caps locks is off and be sure to use the correct capitalization.

Private Sub worksheet()
Activesheet.unprotect password ="dog98"
If Date > dateserial (2024,9,15) then
Range ("H:N").locked=TRUE
Range("A:G").locked=TRUE
Activesheet.Protect Password="dog98"
ThisWorkbook.Save
End If
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
That is not a valid event procedure:
VBA Code:
Private Sub worksheet()

How/when, exactly are you trying to run that code?

And as I mentioned in our other thread, those line should look like:
VBA Code:
Activesheet.Unprotect Password:="dog98"
and
VBA Code:
Activesheet.Protect Password:="dog98"

Seems like it this code when the : is only on the protected password line. Once I added that it runs as intended.
