Default Replace a warning message...on protected cell

I have a protected cell, when the user try to modify it,
we received the following message:
"The cell or chart you are trying to change is protected
and therfore read-only."

My question is: How can I change this message to replace
it by my custom message...like: "You hit a protected cell,
please contact the administrator to change it at xxxxx"

Is it possible to do this...Any code or sugestions will be
welcome...

Thanks

It's work fine...Thank you for your help!

Try using "Data, Validation' from the standard Excel

toolbar

In the settings tab, choose something that a user is

never going to
enter. I often use

'Allow': Decimal
'Data' :equal to
'Value': 0.00095623745 (say)

On the Error Alert, enter your message, e.g.
"You hit a protected cell" in the 'Error message:' text

box
and select the 'Stop' option in the 'Style' drop down box.

An alternative is to type the same message into the box

on the 'Input
Message' tab when you've selected the 'Show input message

when cell is
selected' tick box. This shows the same message

immediately the cell
is selected.


The advantage of this method is that you don't need to

protect the
worksheet.
