Disable popup to enter Password to unprotect sheet | Excel forum

Hi,
I have a file that has the following code which triggers a popup to enter enter Password to unprotect sheet when the file opens. I'd like to stop this popup from appearing ever time the file opens but still keeping the protection valid. I simply don't want the popup to prompt. How can I change the code to achieve that please?




Option Explicit

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

Application.Goto Sheets("Read Me").Range("A1:W58"), True

With Worksheets("1. Template")
.EnableOutlining = True
.Protect UserInterfaceOnly:=True
End With

End Sub
