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?

Your code can include a password like this.
Code: 
        ActiveSheet.Protect "mypassword"
or this.
Code: 
        ActiveSheet.Unprotect "mypassword"
Where mypassword is the text of your password.
