Stop renaming or moving sheet tabs

I have a similar issue.
I can't protect the workbook because I have macros that hide and unhide
sheets.
I get a runtime 1004 error:
'unable to set the visible property of the worksheet class'

Hello Bob, after several attempts of placing where to set the unprotect password, ive managed to get my file working fine - I have vba with hide and unhidesheets at workbook open and close - this is 2 of the codes I use - kindly provided by others on this forum but have added some items - you must note, I am nowhere near a vba expert so here goes.

Private Sub HideSheets()
Dim sht As Object
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect Password:="Something Usefull"
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Information").Visible = xlSheetVisible
For Each sht In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
If sht.name <> "Information" Then sht.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Next sht
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = False
ActiveWorkbook.Protect Password:="Something Usefull", Structure:=True, Windows:=False
ThisWorkbook.Save
Application.EnableEvents = True

End Sub

Private Sub UnhideSheets()
ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect Password:="Something Usefull"
Dim sht As Object
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each sht In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
sht.Visible = xlSheetVisible
Next sht
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Information").Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
ActiveWorkbook.Protect Password:="Something Usefull", Structure:=True, Windows:=False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

The above code is within the "ThisWorkbook" page.

Its obviously doing something right - because I did get the message you discussed but now dont and everything works perfectly - my saving, save as and close - and when re-opening my file, if disable macro's is selected, the workbook is still protected.

Hope you find some of this helpful.
