Hi Eric,

Try assigning the two following procedures to buttons:
'===========
Public Sub mrkArbeidstid()
'
' mrkTilbakestill Makro
' Makro registrert 22.01.2008 TPS og EG
' Registrerer arbeidstid for maskin og dekksbesetningen
Dim Rng As Range
Dim Rng2 As Range
Dim rArea As Range

Set Rng = ActiveSheet.Range("A1:D20") '<<=== CHANGE

On Error Resume Next
Set Rng2 = Intersect(Selection, Rng)
On Error GoTo 0

If Rng2 Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
End If

ActiveSheet.Unprotect
For Each rArea In Rng2.Areas
With rArea
.Font.ColorIndex = 35
.Formula = "a"
With .Interior
.ColorIndex = 35
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With
End With
Next rArea

ActiveSheet.Protect _
DrawingObjects:=True, _
Contents:=True, _
Scenarios:=True
End Sub

'-------------
Public Sub mrkTilbakestill()
'
' mrkTilbakestill Makro
' Makro registrert 22.01.2008 TPS og EG
' Registrerer arbeidstid for maskin og dekksbesetningen
Dim Rng As Range
Dim Rng2 As Range
Dim rArea As Range

Set Rng = ActiveSheet.Range("A1:D20") '<<=== CHANGE

On Error Resume Next
Set Rng2 = Intersect(Selection, Rng)
On Error GoTo 0

If Rng2 Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
End If

ActiveSheet.Unprotect
For Each rArea In Rng2.Areas
With rArea
.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
.ClearContents
End With
Next rArea

ActiveSheet.Protect _
DrawingObjects:=True, _
Contents:=True, _
Scenarios:=True
End Sub
'<<===========

Hello,

I am working on a workbook where a group of cells must change with a
macro button which will be triggered by a user. Insert value and
color.
The value is used in a formel in another cell.
If value input is wrong the user can reset the cell with a macro
button.

Problem:
1. First Macro works throughout the worksheet and I only want it to be
able to work in 5 groups of cells
2. Second Macro (reset macro)
The reset macro can delete the formel if this cell is chosen so I need
it to function only in the same groups as the first macro.


The code for insert av value and color

Sub mrkArbeidstid()
'
' mrkArbeidstid Makro
' Makro registrert 22.01.2008 TPS og EG
' Registrerer arbeidstid for maskin og dekksbesetningen

ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=False, Contents:=False,
Scenarios:=False

With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 35
.Pattern = xlSolid
End With

Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 35
Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 35
Selection.FormulaR1C1 = "a"

ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True,
Scenarios:=True

The code for reset

Sub mrkTilbakestill()
'
' mrkTilbakestill Makro
' Makro registrert 22.01.2008 TPS og EG
' Registrerer arbeidstid for maskin og dekksbesetningen

ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=False, Contents:=False,
Scenarios:=False

With Selection.Interior

Selection.ClearContents
Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone

End With

ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True,
Scenarios:=True


I am just about learning this so if there's someone who has an answer
for me I would be very gratefull

Eric
