I am using the ActiveSheet.Unprotect and Protect codes at the beginning of all my macros, there are 4 total in my workbook. All of them work, except the one AutoFilter code I have to clear contents of table rows based on 3 different criteria. For some reason, I get an error when it filters to show the data to be cleared. Am I putting the unprotect and protect codes in the wrong place?

This is the code I am using
VBA Code:
Sub ClearSold()
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="123"

    Dim LO As ListObject
    Dim dRng As Range
    Dim CA As Variant, TA As Variant, N As Variant
    Dim I As Long, J As Long, RRow As Long, RCol As Long
    
    Set LO = ActiveSheet.ListObjects("Table5")
    
    With LO
        .Range.AutoFilter Field:=7, Criteria1:=Array("Cancelled", "Installed", "Scheduled"), Operator:=xlFilterValues
        If WorksheetFunction.Subtotal(2, .DataBodyRange) > 0 Then
            On Error Resume Next
            Set dRng = .DataBodyRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
            On Error GoTo 0
            .Range.AutoFilter
            If Not dRng Is Nothing Then
                dRng.ClearContents
            End If
        End If
        .Range.AutoFilter
    End With
    
    CA = LO.DataBodyRange.Value
    TA = CA
    I = 0
    For RRow = LBound(CA, 1) To UBound(CA, 1)
        J = 0
        N = Trim(CA(RRow, LBound(CA, 2)))
        If N <> "" Then
            I = I + 1
        End If
        For RCol = LBound(CA, 2) To UBound(CA, 2)
            TA(RRow, RCol) = vbNullString
            N = Trim(CA(RRow, RCol))
            If N <> "" Then
                J = J + 1
                TA(I, J) = CA(RRow, RCol)
            End If
        Next RCol
    Next RRow
    LO.DataBodyRange.Value = TA
    ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="123"
    
End Sub

Hello. Hit Debug button and share a screenshot with the line creating the error.
Here you go! Keep in mind, this only happens on a protected sheet. If it is unprotected, the macro works as it is supposed to
