for a particular worksheet, if a cell is locked, i want it to be filled in
with a color. How can this be accomplished?

Thank you,

Steve

I presume you mean the cell has become locked by a macro?
Here are some examples to include in the macro:

If Range("B2").Locked Then Range("B2").Interior.Color = vbYellow
If Cells(3, 3).Locked Then Cells(3, 3).Interior.Color = vbGreen

Dim Cell As Range

For Each Cell In Range("A1:J6")
If Cell.Locked Then Cell.Interior.Color = RGB(150, 180, 220)
Next Cell

Select the entire worksheet by clicking the empty area where the row and
column headers meet in the top left of the workspace
Use Format|Conditional Format and in the ensuing dialog box use: Formula is
=CELL("protect",A1)=1
Of course this must be done before protection is switched on!

Activesheet.Unprotect
for each cell in activesheet.usedrange
if cell.locked then cell.interior.colorIndex = 3
Next
Activesheet.Protect
