Default Data Validation

I have a lot of different areas on my spreadsheet that can't be
changed. I don't want the user to change it. I defined the Name
BLANK with a empty cell. I then went to Data Validation; Settings and
under validation criteria I chose Custom. I entered =BLANK for the
formula. I also gave an error message to notify the user that the
field is restricted and can't be changed. I have these validations in
case the user would unprotect the worksheet. While this works, I
would like to know if there is another way to do this?
