Not allow user to select a locked cell
Hi,
How can i not allow user to select a locked cell? I want to do it using VBA. I can do it in gui, by unselecting the "allow select locked cells" in protection. But when i close and open that option is checked again. so i want to do it in the code. as i am unprotecting and protecting the sheet in it. I do it as sheet2.unprotect("password") sheet2.protect("password") after this is done, the user can select the cell but he can't modify it. any help is appreciated. thanks |

Not allow user to select a locked cell
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
if Target.Address = "$A$10" then Range("B10").Select End if End Sub Right click on the sheet tab and select view code. Paste in code like the above adjusted to suit your requirements. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "CoolCyber" wrote in message ... Hi, How can i not allow user to select a locked cell?

Not allow user to select a locked cell
Try:
ActiveSheet.EnableSelection = xlUnlockedCells Of course ActiveSheet can be replaced with Sheets("whatever") if you want to specify it for a specific worksheet.
