Controlling worksheet protection via VBA

I have created a user form with VBA for data entry in an Excel worksheet. I would like to control what the user can modify and so have protected the cells.

After filling out the form I would like my VBA code to return the worksheet to its previously protected state.

I have tried to control the password protection on my worksheet via VBA using the following code:

Public Sub Protect()
Worksheets("myWorksheet").Protect Password:="password", _
UserInterfaceOnly:=True
End Sub


Public Sub UnProtect()
Worksheets("myWorksheet").UnProtect Password:="password"
End Sub


This works okay in that it reprotects the sheet, the only problem is that the level of protection is too high. I had previously allowed formatting of columns, rows and cells but now the sheet is completely locked.

Is there any way to pass an argument into this protect subroutine so that I can control the level of protection?

Thanks
