Unprotect sheet but Keep buttons Protected

[TravisF]

Sorry if this is repeated. May not have gone thru first time
Have a toggle button to protect/unprotect sheet. This works fine.
When Unprotected, would like to keep the buttons Protected.

Would like to do this,but it doesnt work. No option like this.
sht.Unprotect Password:="123", DrawingObjects:=True

Tried doing this thinking it would only do DrawingObject protect..but it reprotects the whole sheet again. Guess that makes sense
sht.Unprotect "123"
then adding line
shSelector.Protect DrawingObjects:=True

How can one do Unprotect while keeping buttons protected. Is older excel ver 2007

See first the options when you manually protect the worksheet.​

If you do not find manually a way then there is no solution …​

Better way discovered. Instead of unprotect....just unlock any cells that to be edited, relock when done.
Keeping protect on. kinda duh I guess!
