Hi, I got this code from this ng (apologies for not knowing the programmer)
but I would like it to incorporate a range, as it only does one cell as it is
now, such as A1:A10 or A1:F10

thanks for any help you can give

seeya ste

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then
If ActiveCell.HasFormula Then
MsgBox ("Please do not type in this cell, Thankyou..")
Else
End If
End If
End Sub

Hi
change the line
If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then

to
If Not Intersect(Range("A1:A10"), Target) Is Nothing Then

And if you every want it for the whole sheet

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If ActiveCell.HasFormula Then
MsgBox ("Please do not type in this cell, Thankyou..") 'Or replace
this line with your macro
Else
End If
End Sub

Hi Bob
goot spot :-)

Additional note for the OP: Why don't you lock these cells and protect
the worksheet?

You could do something like this:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim myRng As Range
Set myRng = Me.Range("c3,b9,D12:e45")

If Target.Cells.Count 1 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target(1).Select
Set Target = Target(1)
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If

If Intersect(Target, myRng) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

If Target.HasFormula Then
MsgBox "Please don't type in this cell"
Application.EnableEvents = False
Me.Cells(Target.Row, "A").Select
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If

End Sub

If the user selects multiple cells, it'll reselect just the activecell. Then if
that cell has a formula, it'll select column A of the same row--to get them out
of it.

A bit more restrictive, though.
