Sub TestForProtect()
Dim myrng As Range
Dim c As Range
Set myrng = Range("A1:B5")
For Each c In myrng
If c.Locked = False Then
c.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 <<< R/T 1004 ***
End If
Next c
End Sub

*** Unable to set the Colorindex property of the Iterior Class... ????

How can I fix?
TIA,

One possibility is, that you have your sheet protected.
If so, unprotect it in the beginning and protect it at the end of the macro.

If the sheet is protected, then even an unlocked cell can not normally be
formatted. (in xl2002 and later, there are options for this). In general,
things that you can't do manually can not be done in code either. You also
might look at the UserInterFaceOnly setting of the protect method for
greater flexibility.
