Protected sheets - change error message
 

Hi all,

I have protected a sheet in a workbook and somebody said there is
piece of VBA that changes the default locked cells error message to on
that I can define.

Can this be done? If so does anybody have the VBA available.

Thanking you very muc

Protected sheets - change error message
 

You can't change the message, but you can stop them from selecting locked cells
on a protected sheet.

Option Explicit
Sub auto_open()
Dim wks As Worksheet
Set wks = Worksheets("sheet1")
With wks
.Protect password:="hi"
.EnableSelection = xlUnlockedCells
End With
End Sub
