Need simplest VBA that sets the color of data entered in an unprotecte
cell to blue & resets it back to automatic (black) when & if a cell i
protected again.

The data may or may not be already entered. Therefore, the chang
should take place when a cell is either unprotected or protected (no
when sheet protection is turned on or off).

I prefer not having to put the VBA code in every worksheet but have i
for all workbooks & worksheets.

Any ideas?

Thanks so much for your help. mikebur

Can you use format|conditional formatting?

If yes...

Select A1
then select all the cells (A1 will be the active cell)
format|conditional formatting
formula is: =CELL("Protect",A1)=0
Choose the format you like for unlocked cells.

Thanks. Conditional formatting helps.

I was hoping for something more automatic.

Also, we are constantly changing cells from protect to unprotect & visa
versa. I really need something more automatic when that is done.

Any other ideas? Thanks so very much. mikeburg

I can't think of anything more automatic than conditional formatting.
