Protected worksheet

GN0001

Member
I have a worksheet, when I enter an excel function and hit enter, the formula doesn't bring back a result, the formula stays in the cell and I assume the worksheet is protected. How can I make sure it is protected? Is there any way to remove protection without knowing the password?

Regards,

Guity
 
Guity,


You can try the Password.xla addin to remove the protection without knowing the password.
