Is it possible to have a cell updated using a VBA module while the cell is
protected? I have a module that inputs the date/time in a field when a user
inputs information into another field. I want to protect the date/time so
that the user can not alter it. I am using Excel 2003.

Thanks for the help.

Hi

no, you'll need to unprotect the sheet, undate the cell and then re-protect
the sheet - this can all be done in code
e.g.

activesheet.unprotect "pwd"
'your code here
activesheet.protect "pwd"

use your password instead of pwd or delete if not required
