Application.DisplayAlerts
Hi:
The following does not stop the alert message box if an attempt is made to enter data into a protected cell. Any advice as to how to stop the alerts would be greatly appreciated. Private Sub Worksheet_Activate() Worksheets("Sheet1").Unprotect Application.DisplayAlerts = False Worksheets("Sheet1").Protect End Sub Thanks TK |

Application.DisplayAlerts
TK, you cannot enter data into a proctected cell, locked cell,
By default all cells in excel are protected or locked, select the cells you want to unlock and go to format, cells, protection and uncheck locked, the go to tools, protection, and protect sheet, enter a password if you want, now only the cells that you unlocked can be edited. If you only need a few locked I would select them all first, Ctrl A, then go to format, cells, protection and uncheck locked, then select the cells you want to lock and go to format cells and check locked, the go to tools, protection, and protect sheet, enter a password if you want, now the cells that you locked can not be edited -- Paul B Always backup your data before trying something new Please post any response to the newsgroups so others can benefit from it Feedback on answers is always appreciated!

Thanks Paul:
I probably was not clear. Im familiar with the sheet protecting procedure. Im trying to stop the caution alert if a user tries to inadvertently enter data into a protected cell. Obviously, they cannot enter data I just do not want them to be reminded that they cannot.

TK, I don't think you can cut off that alert, how about not letting them
select the locked cells? If you are using excel 2002 or newer when you protect the sheet uncheck select locked cells, if you have an early version you can use a macro like this in the thisworkbook module Private Sub Workbook_Open() 'will not let you select locked cells 'This is a setting that excel doesn't remember between closings,so have 'your workbook_open code do it each time: With Worksheets("sheet1") 'change to your sheet name ..Activate ..EnableSelection = xlUnlockedCells 'change password here ..Protect Password:="123", Contents:=True, UserInterfaceOnly:=True End With End Sub -- Paul B Always backup your data before trying something new Please post any response to the newsgroups so others can benefit from it Feedback on answers is always appreciated!

Thanks Paul:
I guess your right. My confusion came from the fact that I was able to set displayAlerts = False when changing pages using a macro. This I found you can do via (Microsoft Library). Not so with the page selector. I got that idea from post : €śStop Message To Unprotect€ť 11/11/2004 Good Luck TK "Paul B" wrote: TK, I don't think you can cut off that alert, how about not letting them select the locked cells?
