Hi again,
I have another problem to solve. The code below is my attempt to stop a
macro from inserting or deleting rows if B9 was included, but for some reason
its not behaving as I thought it would. What am I doing wrong?

If ActiveCell = B9 Then
MsgBox "Please do not select to insert or delete from this row" &
vbNewLine & _
"" & vbNewLine & _
" Please un-select and try again" & vbNewLine & _
" ", , "ERROR"
Exit Sub
End If

Many thanks in advance

John

If Not Intersect(selection,Range("B9")) is Nothing then
MsgBox "Please do not select to insert or delete from this row" &
vbNewLine & _
"" & vbNewLine & _
" Please un-select and try again" & vbNewLine & _
" ", , "ERROR"
Exit Sub
End If

or do you want to guard against any row insertion above or at row 9

If Selection.Row <= 9 then

Your code only gives the message if the ActiveCell is B9 - it sounds like you
want it to run if the selected row includes row 9 regardless if B9 is the
active cell? If I have that right, then this would do it:
If ActiveCell.Row = 9 Then...

Something as simple as that:

If Selection.Row <= 9 then
