Freeze Cell Once Information is Entered
I want to automatically freeze a cell after information has been entered and
saved. Once the information is saved I don't want people to be able to go back into that cell and make changes. Is that possible? -- SuzieT |

Suzie,
A couple of steps. First remove the locked checkmark from the cells you want to allow editing in (in the example below A1:A10) and then protect the worksheet. Right click the sheet tab, view code and paste this in :- Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Cells.Count 1 Or IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A10")) Is Nothing Then ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="mypass" Target.Locked = True ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="mypass" End If End Sub Cells in the range A1:A10 will become protected after data are entered into them Mike "SuzieT" wrote: I want to automatically freeze a cell after information has been entered and saved.
