Create a couple of simple macros taking arguments - one to display a message, and one to protect or unprotect a worksheet

This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

In some suitable application (Excel, for example) create a simple subroutine to display a message. Your subroutine should take one argument - the message to be displayed - and produce output like this:

You can pass different messages to your subroutine to display different message boxes.

If you still have time, try writing a different subroutine to unprotect or protect a given worksheet. This subroutine should take 2 arguments:

The name of the sheet to be protected or unprotected

Whether to protect the sheet or not (a Boolean argument)

Note that to protect or unprotect a worksheet you just apply the Protect or Unprotect methods.

Try running your macro using commands like this to test it:

Sub TestProtectionSystem()

'testing protect a worksheet

ProtectSheet "Sheet1", True

End Sub

Sub TestUnprotectionSystem()

'testing unprotecting a worksheet

ProtectSheet "Sheet1", False

End Sub

If you still have time, try making the second argument optional, so that by default your subroutine will protect a sheet if the protection status is not explicitly given when the macro is run.
