Hi Eric,

Try assigning the two following procedures to buttons:

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

Thank you for quick and usefull help.
It works fantastic.

There is only one thing that is missing now and that is to protect the
sheet with a password.
I thought that that would be easy since I saw several examples in this
discusion group.
But as always, nothing is as easy as it looks.
I tried the following but get an error message for the
ActiveSheet.Protect part.
Can you help me out with this?

ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="test"
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
Password:="test"

Thanks

Eric
