Protect/unprotect ALL worksheets in workbook ?

-- Is it possible to protect/unprotect all worksheets in a workbook at once
instead of having to do each individually if the password is the same?

News Gal

The only way to do that is with some VBA code:

Sub ProtectAll()
Dim WS As Worksheet
For Each WS In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
WS.Protect Password:="whatever"
Next WS
End Sub

The only way is to use a macro to do this

Sub test()
Dim sh As Worksheet
For Each sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
sh.Unprotect "ron"
Next sh
End Sub

Or
sh.Protect "ron"

This macro would do the trick

Sub Unprotect()

Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim blnIsProtected As Boolean
Set wb = ActiveWorkbook

For Each ws In wb.Worksheets
ws.Unprotect "test"
Next ws

Set wb = Nothing
Set ws = Nothing

End Sub
