What version of excel are you using?I've never had that happen.
There ARE a couple of things you can try or check:
In the protected sheet, what cell is "selected" when you protect the
sheet?Sometimes, if you have a locked cell selected, when you protect the
sheet, it is STILL selected.So, when you save the workbook, and they open it,
Excel expects that you want to access the locked cell and requests
authorization.
Secondly:If the previous solution doesn't take care of it, you can create a
Workbook_Open macro that has the line:
Application.Displayalerts = False
the workbook would then have to be saved as .xlsm or .xlsb, since the .xlsx
format does not support macros.(that is, if you're using Excel 2007, 2010 or
2013) Paul-----------------------------------------

Excel Experts:1. I locked selected cells in a spreadsheet (which contain
formulae) and set Protect with a password.2. Each time a user opens the
spreadsheet, the "Unprotect Sheet" password dialog box prompt comes up.3. Is
there a way I can suppress this dialog box from coming up? I want the users to
be able to use this spreadsheet without that pop-up message coming each time.
Then they think they have to enter a password, which is not the case. It causes
confusion to some of them.
Thank you for your help!--
