Macro Question

DangerMouse114 · Jun 7, 2004

I need to protect my sheet from users making changes to certain cell
but I am encountering a problem with my macro buttons.

The button makes changes to cells that I have locked and protected fro
users. When i protect the sheet the button cannot make the changes an
gives an error.

Is there a way to allow the macro to do its work on locked cells whil
still protecting the cell from user changes

Your macro will need to unprotect the sheet, make the changes then
re-protect the sheet.

ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="password"

ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="password"

Set the command button, TakeFocusOnClcik to False

The code assigned to the buttons need to unprotect the
target cells, change their values and then re-protect them

Thanks Nigel! Worked like a charm!
