Default Locking cels using a UDF

Can't do it with a function, but with event code

Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "G2:H2000"

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
.Locked = True
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

I'm not entirely sure if this is possible or not... but here we go.

I'm looking to lock down two cells in a row after data is input into the
cells... for the entire spreadsheet... or at least 2000 rows. I think the
easiest way would be to have a function since I could fill down and the

two
cells would change relative to the position of the function.

Basically, I'm looking to lock cells A1:B1 and so on all the way down the
spreadsheet. I've seen some subroutines to lock cells, but I don't know

how
to use them in the spreadsheet, and I'm having a heck of a time trying to

get
this to work.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.
