Not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but here are some things to
start you off:

**Enter in the Current Time into active cell

ActiveCell.Value = TimeValue(Now)

**Protect and unprotect a Sheet

ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="your password goes here(inside the
quotes)"

ActiveSheet.Unprotect "your password goes here(inside the quotes)"

Hi,

Heres what am trying to accomplish.

two columns (protected), column A - Start Time and Column B End Time.

now when a person starts working he needs to enter the current time
in...say... A1. I want that person to press a key combination that would run
a macro which will unprotect the both the columns, enter the current time in
the Selected cell, and protect both the columns again. same at the time of
End Time.

now I want the macro to enter the date only in the selected cell. but it
should unprotect and Protect both, entire columns. Also, when the columns
are protected, the user should be able to select the cells. please help.

Thanks.
