I'm trying to lock all sheets with a password when closing a workbook, but allow filtering and searching on tables.
I managed to gather the following which works other than setting the password.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
'Update by Extendoffice 2018/1/24
Dim xSheet As Worksheet
Dim xPsw As String
xPsw = "***"
For Each xSheet In Worksheets
xSheet.Protect xPsw
Next
If ActiveSheet.Protection.AllowFiltering = False Then
ActiveSheet.Protect AllowFiltering:=True
End If
End Sub
*** = password
The above auto locks worksheets and allows filtering as needed but doesn't set the password.

i think its bugged because you use protect method twice. try below code
