Default Not allow user to select a locked cell

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
if Target.Address = "$A$10" then
Range("B10").Select
End if
End Sub

Right click on the sheet tab and select view code. Paste in code like the
above adjusted to suit your requirements.

Hi,

How can i not allow user to select a locked cell? I want to do it using

VBA.
I can do it in gui, by unselecting the "allow select locked cells" in
protection. But when i close and open that option is checked again. so i
want to do it in the code. as i am unprotecting and protecting the sheet

in
it.
I do it as
sheet2.unprotect("password")
sheet2.protect("password")

after this is done, the user can select the cell but he can't modify it.

any
help is appreciated.

thanks
