I have a form written in excel 2003. Every cell on the form is locked except
the cells that require new info each time. For instance, cell A1 reads NAME
and cell A2 is blank and allows you to enter a persons name. At the top of
the form is a button that reads "CLEAR FORM". When you click on the button
all cells that are not locked for editing clear and you can reuse the form
for the next person. I need to recreate the CLEAR FORM button on an entirely
new form that I am making.

Hi vdmbqb

I love your name<g

Hold your Ctrl key when you select all cells that you want to clear
Then use Ctrl-F3 to give this range a name

You can use this code line then to clear the cells
Range("MyRange").ClearContents

I tried this, but when I press Ctrl-F3 nothing happens.

By the way, the name vdmbqb was made up one night after too many glasses of
wine. I don't even remember what it means, but I have been using it now for
15 years.

Unprotect your worksheet when you do this.
You only have to do this one time
