Sheets Object not working correctly in VBA [closed]

I have used this piece of (crap) code for over 2 years then suddenly today it’s stopped working. When I debug the code when it calls

 Sheets("All Trans").Unprotect

The macro just seems to stop working – I haven’t done any Error Handling sadly. The sheet “All Trans” exists no problem – nothing has change – completely confused. Here is the sull subroutine:

Sub add_entry()
    
If [all_fields].Value Then
    
    res = MsgBox("Method: " & Range("New_Entry").Cells(1, 3) & Chr(13) & "To: " & Range("New_Entry").Cells(1, 4) & Chr(13) & "Amount: " & Format(Range("New_Entry").Cells(1, 5), "#,##0") & Chr(13) & "User: " & Range("New_Entry").Cells(1, 6) & Chr(13) & "Notes: " & Range("New_Entry").Cells(1, 7), vbOKCancel, "New Entry")
    If res = 1 Then
        
        Sheets("All Trans").Unprotect
        
        Range("New_Entry").Copy
        
        With Sheets("All Trans")
            .AutoFilterMode = FALSE
            lastRow = .Range("C" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
            .Cells(lastRow + 1, 1).EntireRow.PasteSpecial xlValues
        End With
        
        Sheets("All Trans").Protect
        
        Application.CutCopyMode = FALSE
        
        ' [Method].ClearContents
        '[To_Whom].ClearContents
        [Amount].ClearContents
        ' [User].ClearContents
        [Notes].ClearContents
        
        Sheets("Input").Activate
        Range("G4").Select
        
    Else
        
        MsgBox "Try Again!"
        
    End If
    
Else
    
    MsgBox "Please enter all fields"
    
End If

End Sub

I have tried renaming the sheet etc to no avail.

    What do you mean by “it’s stopped working”? It does nothing, throws an error or something else?

    Do you have more than one Excel file open? The code implicitly is looking for the sheet in the Active Workbook, so if there’s more than one file open and the wrong workbook is active, it could cause an issue. The actual error message would be helpful in narrowing down possibilities.
