Default Code loops to death every time I attempt to add a string to a cell

The file is a timesheet. I am trying to add the functionality of sending the
entries to an Access database. I am new to VBA and therefore I am taking it
in baby-steps. All was going well until I try to simply add the string
"Edit" to a cell. I have tried this several different ways and all end up
going into a fatal loop (screen flashes and then crash). Everything else in
this bit of code works beautifully.

Here is what I am attempting to accomplish:
1. Check the current row to ensure that the "hours" column is greater than
zero.
2. Check the current row to ensure that the "project number" column is
populated.
3. If so, Lock and change color of cells "E" thru "I" of current row.
4. Then unlock and loose color of cell "J" of current row.
5. Add the word "Edit" to the same cell in step #4.

Here is the code...

For Each n In Range("Hours2")
If n.Value 0 And IsEmpty(Range("F" & n.Row).Value) = False Then
Range("E" & n.Row & ":" & "I" & n.Row).Locked = True
Range("E" & n.Row & ":" & "I" & n.Row).Interior.Color = RGB(219,
229, 241)
Range("J" & n.Row).Locked = False
Range("J" & n.Row).Interior.Color = xlNone
Range("J" & n.Row).Value = "Edit"
End If
Next n

The "Edit" cell is intended to act as a button to later unlock and edit
info after it has been added to the db, but I haven't gotten that far. In
case you are wondering I chose not to use actual buttons because each sheet
of this spreadsheet has about 100 rows each with the potential of it's own
button.

Please let me know what I am doing wrong here.

Thank you,
Jeff
