I'm sorry. You haven't answered my question(s). WHERE is it asking for a password?
when you open the file: "path1"? when you select the "Data" sheet? when you open the file: "path2"? when you save the file as "path3"? when you select the "Control_Panel" sheet? when you select the "Result" sheet? when you select the "DU1:KF60" range? I gave you EXAMPLES of how to use the .unprotect method FOR ONE OF THE ABOVE SITUATIONS. without more information from you, I cannot guess which answer will work. If the password prompt comes when you open the workbook, then you cannot use the .unprotect method AFTER you open it, because the prompt will already have been displayed! You'd have to use a similar method IN the Workbook.Open command.
