PUT NOTHING in personal.xls. Remove it if you put it there (Both parts).

Use only the application workbook.

I have the first set_up unlock under personal.xls module.....then I placed
the second portion you just sent by right clicking on the tab and pasting it,
which placed it

When I try to type something in the "locked" cell, I get "user-defined type
not defined"

I also get this on any other excel spreadsheet I open, that I don't want
this on.

Remember that the change macro goes in a "special place", right from the
normal Excel window:


1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in: making sure there is only one copy of the code in
that window
4. close the VBE window

Not sure what I am doing wrong, but when I go under tools, VBA, and paste the
below....if I try to run it, worksheet_change does not show up.

The setup reoutine is the same. Here is the new worksheet code:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Range("A:A"), Target) Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
End If


ActiveSheet.Unprotect
If Left(Target.Value, 1) = "E" Then
Target.Offset(0, 7).Locked = True
Target.Offset(0, 10).Locked = False
Else
Target.Offset(0, 7).Locked = False
Target.Offset(0, 10).Locked = True
End If
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=False, Contents:=True, Scenarios:= _
False, AllowFormattingCells:=True, AllowFormattingColumns:=True, _
AllowFormattingRows:=True, AllowInsertingColumns:=True, AllowInsertingRows _
:=True, AllowInsertingHyperlinks:=True, AllowDeletingColumns:=True, _
AllowDeletingRows:=True, AllowSorting:=True, AllowFiltering:=True, _
AllowUsingPivotTables:=True


ActiveSheet.EnableSelection = xlUnlockedCells
End Sub

The routine looks for entries in column A. If the entry starts with "E"
then H is locked and K is unlocked. If it does not start with W, visa-versa

Yes that is fine....

Again, I appreciate all your help!

It CAN be done.

Is it O.K. to check the first two characters in column A instead of the "x"
in column B to make the decision??

Was it determined that this can't be done?

If so, thanks for all your help and attempts! You guys are awesome!

If you know another way...I'm all ears....

Let me explain the form a little more.....
There are two types of #'s that will be input into column A: 07-XXX or E-XXX
(X being a number)....If the job begins with 07-XXX then I need column H open
for filling and column K locked.....if the job begins with E-XXX then I need
Column H blocked and column K open

I used the formula to give me an easy indicator for my conditional formula
to turn the columns that should be blocked dark gray.

Does that make sense?

Do we need the Calculate event??

Note that Amanda wants the trigger to be a calculated value of "x"

Operative word being "calculated" from formulas.

Change_Event won't do that.

I am pretty sure the problem is text wrapping in the post. For example:

AlllowFormattingRows is really one line with the one below it.

If you are still having trouble, tomorrow I will re-post a much more
"copy/paste"-able version.
