    With the permission of all involved, I would like to add these examples as a very good suggestion from Mr. Hans Vogelaar.

     

    Sheet protection macro without password

    The following macros are used to set and remove sheet protection for Sheet1 without a password.

    Sub sheet protection_on ()

        Sheets ("Table1"). Protect

    End Sub

     

    Sub sheet protection off ()

        Sheets ("Table1"). Unprotect

    End Sub

    --------------------------------------------------

    Macro for sheet protection with password

    The sheet protection can also be set with a password. In the following example, the password is "myPassword".

    Sub Blattschutz_on_with_Passwort ()

        Sheets ("Table1"). Protect Password: = "myPassword"

    End Sub

     

    Sub Sheetprotect_off_with_Passwort ()

        Sheets ("Table1"). Unprotect Password: = "myPassword"

    End Sub

    ------------------------------------------------------

    Sheet protection for all tables in the workbook

     

    A for loop is used to activate or deactivate sheet protection for all tables in a workbook. The following example uses sheet protection without a password.

    Sub Sheetprotect_on_all_Sheets ()

        For Each sheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets

            sheet.Protect

        Next sheet

    End Sub

     

    Sub Sheetprotect_off_all_Sheets ()

        For Each sheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets

            sheet.Unprotect

        Next sheet

    End Sub

    ---------------------------------------------------

    Thank you for your understanding and patience

     

    Wish all a nice day.
