Code:
Private Sub Workbook_V1_Open()
Dim Wks As Worksheet

    For Each Wks In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
        Wks.Protect Password:="Engineer", UserInterFaceOnly:=True
    Next

End Sub
Code:
Private Sub protect_sheet()
    ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="Engineer", Drawing Objects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
End Sub
Code:
Private Sub unprotect_sheet()
    ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="Engineer"
End Sub

im trying to protect sheet getting error:438 object doesn't matched
can any one help me with this
 

Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
This does not look correct to me:
Code:
    For Each Wks In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
Why would you be looping through a single sheet?

If you want to loop through all sheets, try:
Code:
    For Each Wks In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets

Here is what I am using and it works just fine. However this will only lock and unlock cells that are selected to be locked.

[/CODE]
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
 ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("FULL INFORMATION").Unprotect Password:="PASSWORD"
'Unprotect

  ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("FULL INFORMATION").Protect Password:="PASSWORD"
'Protect
End Sub
Code:
Hope this helps or gives you an idea

Kevin

The cell or the area that you are trying to make changes to is locked. Make sure to select that it is not locked and all should be good.

If you are trying to make changes to the entire sheet you will need to unlock have a wait and make changes then lock again.
