The problem is that you cannot protect a protected sheet.
So once you use:
ActiveSheet.protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
then the line:
Activesheet.protect Password:="deck"
does NOTHING, because the sheet is already protected!
you need to combine the two lines:
ActiveSheet.protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True,
Password:="deck"
or:
ActiveSheet.protect _
DrawingObjects:=True, _
Contents:=True, _
Scenarios:=True, _
Password:="deck"
