    Protect Sheets with Edit Object

    I have a (crappy) script that I wrote in the past that will loop through and protect all worksheets. It does the job, but is not very pretty.

    But I just learned that currently that when the sheets are protected, the user can not enter comments into an unprotected cell. Thus, I need to possibly allow/enable Edit objects somehow. Could someone possibly show how to do that?

    Also, I may want to rethink and use Userform and let the user pick and choose which worksheets should be protected. but that would probably be a separate topic.

    This is my current script.
