Hi,

I have 20 files to edit, all of which have a differing number of tabs protected (with the same password), What I want to do is select the protected tabs on each file manually, then run some code to unprotect, I then do what I need to do and protect again using similar code. Also to note that the tab names to protect and unprotect on each file are different

I have the below and have searched around but can only find protect or unprotect all routines. Would anyone be able to help here?


VBA Code:
Sub UnProtectAllSheets()
    Dim ws As Worksheet

    For Each ws In Worksheets
        ws.Unprotect "john12345"
    Next ws

End Sub

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Maybe use a button or something to call the below module? You would need to select your sheets and run the following...

VBA Code:
Sub UnprotectSelected()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    For Each ws In ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets
         ws.Unprotect "john12345"
    Next ws
End Sub
