Hi Guys!!!

I have a spreedsheet that has a checkbox with a macro and I want to
protect the spreadsheet to protect the formulas from novices users.

I have figure out all the steps of unlock the cell that I want the
user to enter the data, unlocked the cells that link to the check box.
The PROBLEM is that I have a range that a macro has to copy and paste
but I want the range to remain lock for the users but gets unlock when
the macro needs to copy and paste.
this is the code that I have right now:
WHAT DO I NEED TO write to allow the macro to unlock, copy, paste and
lock the file again.

Sub CheckBox1107_Click()
'
' CheckBox1107_Click Macro
'
If ActiveSheet.Range("D19").Value = True Then

Application.Goto Reference:="R16C4"
Range("D16:D18").Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone,
SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("H9").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "0"
Range("H11").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "0"
Range("H12").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "0"
Range("D12").Select
Application.Goto Reference:="R16C4"
Else
Application.Goto Reference:="R45C2"
Range("B43:B45").Select
Range("B45").Activate
Selection.Copy
Application.Goto Reference:="R16C4"
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormulasAndNumberFormats,
Operation:= _
xlNone, SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.Goto Reference:="R16C4"
End If
End Sub


WHAT DO I NEED TO write to allow the macro to unlock, copy, paste and
lock the file again.
Thank YOU,

Lock the sheet with a macro instead of manually. When you lock it with a
macro, you can lock it from user input only, but leave other code free
to change things.

For instance, this code locks the sheets when the workbook opens, the
user can't change anything, but your macros could:

=============
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'If you have different passwords
'for each Worksheet.
Sheets(1).Protect Password:="Secret", _
UserInterFaceOnly:=True

Sheets(2).Protect Password:="Carrot", _
UserInterFaceOnly:=True

'Repeat as needed.
End Sub
===============
Adjust for your needs.
