How about the UserForm_Deactivate() event?

Private Sub UserForm_Deactivate()
ActiveSheet.Protect
End Sub

I would say, from my testing yes. To be honest, I've always done that
unprotect, change, protect as these were not available pre XP.

Thanks Nick. I think I can workaround. I put ActiveSheet.Unprotect at the
top of the userform that controls the VBA. I just need to find a way to
put
ActiveSheet.Protect in automatically when the userform exits. If you have
any ideas....

Thanks for your advise
