I am creating a macro is supposed to password protect a worksheet and then hide it.

I recorded the macro including entering a password. When I went to test the macro, it protected the sheet without setting a password at all.

I dont care if I have to manually enter the password or if it uses the password that i put in the macro, but at this point it doesnt password protect at all.

Anyone have any thoughs on how to correct this?

Where mypassword is the text of your password.
