Default Clearing Cell Contents / Worksheet_Change Event

I'm using the following code within a Worksheet_Change function to
lock/clear and unlock a range of cells. There's also another bit of code in
the function that forces uppercase for cell F3.

If I type "YES" into cell F3 then the cells unlock just fine, but there's a
problem when I try to clear the cell contents. If I select the cell and
press "Delete" the contents ("YES") disappear but the Change event isn't
triggered and the range D10:D16 don't lock. However, if I select the cell,
press Backspace then Enter then the Change event triggers and D10:d16 lock
just fine.

So it seems that the Delete key press doesn't constitute an Event. Is that
normal? Can anyone think of a workaround?

Using Excel 2003.

If Target.Address = "$F$3" And UCase(Target.Value) = "YES" Then
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="password"
With Range("$D$10:$D$16")
.Locked = False
End With
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="jess"
ElseIf Target.Address = "$F$3" And UCase(Target.Value) < "YES" Then
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="password"
With Range("$D$10:$D$16")
.ClearContents
.Locked = True
End With
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="jess"
End If


Thanks in advance.
