Password Protect Sheet with formatting allowed

[CER]

I recorded a macro (don't know enough to write one yet) to hide certain
columns, then password protect the sheet, but allow filtering, sorting, pivot
tables and formatting columns and rows. However, it doesn't check those
options when I run it. Any help is appreciated. Here's the code:

Columns("A").Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll ToRight:=5
Columns("S:S").Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
ActiveWindow.LargeScroll ToRight:=-2
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True,
Scenarios:=True _
, AllowFormattingColumns:=True, AllowFormattingRows:=True,
AllowSorting:= _True, AllowFiltering:=True, AllowUsingPivotTables:=True

ActiveSheet.EnableSelection = xlNoRestrictions
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="aaaa"

Hi,

The line where you apply the password is messing things up, Try this

Range("A,S:S").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True,
Scenarios:= _
True, AllowFormattingColumns:=True, AllowFormattingRows:=True, _
AllowSorting:=True, AllowFiltering:=True,
AllowUsingPivotTables:=True, _
Password:="aaaa"

ActiveSheet.EnableSelection = xlNoRestrictions
