macro to run as result of if statement

i cant get this to work
what i'm expecting is, if sheet is protected
message box
if not protected then run sub draw()
blah
blah
protect sheet
done
all it does is give message box never goes to sub draw()

im using excel97
thanx

i actually tried to use that first time around but it kept coming up
highlighted as an error!
but i know realise that was when i had it in the wrong place in the code
but stupidly assumed that the syntax was wrong so tried first example
since that didnt go yellow i thought it was ok and continued using it.
well it was 2 a.m.
code now works fine
thanx
