How do you get a macro not to go to or change a locked cell?
I have the cells locked, the sheet protected and have only "Select unlocked
cells" and "Format cells" checked. If I turn "Format cells" off, the macro doesn't work. Below is the macro: Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 4 Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 1 ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Range("A1").Select It changes the fill to green, the text to black, and move down one row. Please help......... |

How do you get a macro not to go to or change a locked cell?
I'm not clear what you are trying to accomplish. Do you want your macro to be
able to change only an unlocked cell to green, then move down one cell if that cell is also unlocked? If so, try this: If ActiveCell.Locked = True Then Exit Sub Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 4 Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 1 If ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Locked = True Then Exit Sub ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select Hope this helps, Hutch "bxs02205" wrote: I have the cells locked, the sheet protected and have only "Select unlocked cells" and "Format cells" checked.
