Confused, again! Object variable not set?

[davegb]

This code is on the worksheet module. It hides the commandbar that is
unique to this sheet when the sheet is deactivated and erases the
commandbar name from the worksheet so that XL doesn't try to hide the
toolbar when the workbook is closed.

Private Sub Worksheet_deActivate()
Application.CommandBars("Abuse").Visible = False

With wksMacRec
.Unprotect Password:=PWORD<----ERROR
.Range("E2").Value = ""
.Protect Password:=PWORD
End With
'ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Macro Records").Range("E2").Value = ""
End Sub

I'm getting an "object variable or with block variable not set" error.
The password in set as a public constant in another module in this same
workbook. So whatzzup?
Thanks as always.

Where is wksMacRec set. Is the sheet named that or is it set somewhere else???

set wksMacRec = sheets("Sheet1") '???

I think it may be because PWORD needs to either be "PWORD" or before
using it, state PWORD = "mYPassWOrD"

As far as I can see in your code, you've never set the wksMacRec
variable. You need some code like

Dim wksMacRec As Worksheet
Set wksMacRec = Worksheets("Sheet1")

Testing methodoligy would suggest try commenting out the first affected line.
If the next line gives the same error, then it would suggest the cause that
others here have indicated. If it is a different error (as obviously to
perform the requested function the protection must be turned off to do the
next step) then there is definetly a problem with the line indicated and it
is other than that suggested by others here.

Thanks for all your help. The problem was that wksMacRec was not set in
this macro. I forgot that a "set" has to be done in each separate macro
and can't be done publicly like setting a constant.
