Hi William,
This is an error that I would expect to occur if the
worksheet was
already protected when your application started up.
Modify your code to
unprotect the worksheet prior to making the changes and
the protect it again
afterwards, like so;
Sub auto_open()
Worksheets(1).Unprotect
Worksheets(1).Range("b3:b6").Locked = False 'data
entry cells
Worksheets(1).Range("f6:f8").Locked = False 'change
variables allow
cells
Worksheets(1).Protect
End Sub

Hi,
I am using the following code to disable a worksheet so
that people cannot tamper with data on it as it is used
in formulas else where on the sheet but allow them to
enter data in allocated cells which is then worked on
to
give a result. Using the following code gives me an
error
1004 Unable to sey the locked property of the Range
Classes , the help file doen't seem to indicate the
reason.
Option Explicit
Sub auto_open()
Worksheets(1).Range("b3:b6").Locked = False 'data
entry cells
Worksheets(1).Range("f6:f8").Locked = False 'change
variables allow cells
Worksheets(1).Protect
Regards
End Sub
