I've been able to successfully unprotect worksheets, but not the entire workbook. My problem is that there is a worksheet that is hidden, and I need to view the formulas from that worksheet. I'm able to see the contents of that by entering a formula on an unhidden worksheet (and from those values I can figure out the majority of the formulas), but there are a few I'm struggling with. I was wondering if there was any way to either a) unprotect an entire workbook, b) unhide a sheet in a protected workbook so I can view the formulas, or c) somehow view the formulas in that sheet by entering some reference to them in an unhidden sheet? Thanks in advance.

If you don't have a password to unprotect the workbook then no, you can,t.....not via this forum anyway, as it's against forum rules..
