I don't think there's really a practical way to just turn off the prompt -
you could turn off prompts when the sheet is selected but you'd not get any
for any other desired operation while
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
was in effect.

Possibly one way to get away from the problem is to change the setup when
protecting the sheet to NOT allow the user to select locked cells. Then
they'll only be able to select cells where their input is expected/accepted.
