Locked Cells?
 

Row B and C both need to be locked to prevent the user from entering data,
however, I have code that puts a formula into these cells when the user
enters a date into Cell A. When I lock the cells and protect the sheet, I
get an error because the code it trying to add the formula to a locked cell.
Is there any way around this?

Thanks,
Kevin

I assume your are using the on change event... You need to turn protection
off to make your update. Here is some code for you so use as a guideline.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
'Your other code here...
ActiveSheet.Protect
End If

ErrorHandler:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Kevin,

Unprotect the sheet first them protect it again after you code.

sheets("test").unportect "Your Password"
'your code
sheets("test").protect "Your Password"
