Error 1004 when running on a protected sheet
 

I am new to vb code and would like help with the following problem.

I am running the following code in a multipage spreadsheet. Columns 5
8 and 11 should be the only unprotected columns in the six sheets i
question. Based upon a formula in columns 6, 9 and 12 of sheets 1 thr
6 and a value in sheet 7 those columns (6,9,12) are set to an "X" valu
or "RANK"ed base upon the values in 5, 8 and 11. Note: some values i
columns and 5 and 6 are null value. This formula works and modifys th
correct cells in columns 6, 9 and 12. The desired effect of the VB cod
below is to increment/decrement cells in formula selected rows by 100
to so the rank instruction will work properly.

All seems to work ok unless I turn protection on in any of the si
pages. I then receive an error 1004 on the instruction below.

For Each cell In Columns(6).SpecialCells(3) - This is the sixth lin
of code below.

This is the first VB code I have tried to use and any and all hel
would be appreciated. I am running excel 2000 (9.0 3821 SR-1)

I realize this is confusing and I can email entire spreadsheet t
anyone that might have an idea.

Thanks in advance for the help.
