Hello,
I am sure this is an easy question but would anyone know why I am getting a 1004 Runtime Error in my Code after I protected the Worksheets from the review Tab?
The code works fine when the sheets are unprotected, but I need to protect the worksheets so users can not adjust the formulas and contents of certain/most cells.
My code does work with a lot of these cells that are locked once Protected but I can't figure out why I am getting this Runtime 1004 error now.
Any Suggestions? Thanks.

Place your code between these 2 lines:

Code:
Activesheet.Unprotect
'your code here
Activesheet.Protect


This will unprotect the sheet, run the code and then protect it again.

Okay, but I broke it up into 4 different codes in my Module. Then use the Call function on the command button activeX and run all four at once.
How would that work?

Hi,
Use these statements in command button module

Activesheet.Unprotect
Call macro1
Call macro2
Call macro3
Call macro4
Activesheet.protect

I just did that and used sheet3.Unprotect for the sheet the code copies content to from the active sheet. When I click the ActiveX Command Button it asks for the password for both sheets.

You did not mentioned you've got worksheets password protected. Use this...

Activesheet.Unprotect password:="Type in your password"
Call macro1
Call macro2
Call macro3
Call macro4
Activesheet.protect password:="Type in your password"
