    Global Constant Password ThisWorkbook Module

    Hi all,
    I'm a relative VBA newbie.
    My problem is as follows:
    I have deined in a standard module a public constant that serves as a password, I.e. i have
    Public const PASSWORD = "abc123", for example.

    Now, on protecting/unproecting a sheet from the ThisWorkbook module, I am unable to use this PASSWORD global constant.
    I.e., the following fails

    Sheets("Sheet1").Unprotect PASSWORD:=PASSWORD

    I am certain that Sheet1 is protected by "abc123". If i replace the above with:

    Sheets("Sheet1").Unprotect PASSWORD:="abc123"

    everything works fine.

    Hope that's clear, let me know if not. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

    Hi,

    You use one of the reserved keywords : PASSWORD
    Change this to something else, like PASS, PASSWORD1, etc

    Are you sure the PASSWORD declaration is exactly what you typed or some space or any other hidden character is still there..?

    I am positive that everything is typed in correctly. Appreciate all your rapid responses.
    I will try defining the a new Global Constant PASSWORD2="abc123" and use PASSWORD2 in my ThisWorkbook module.
    Thanks

    Because you run it from the same module, try to run it from workbook like this :
