VBA Protect and NOT be able to selct locked cells
The VBA help for the protect method covers a number of items, but for some reason, completely omits the very first two items when you use Protect from the drop-down menus, Select Locked Cells and Select Unlocked Cells. I specifically want to deny selecting everything except unlocked cells (case in point: selection of locked cells) via VBA. Each sheet have very few unlocked cells. I find I can protect via menu and deny the locked cells, but at some point while sheets are being unprotected and reprotected via VBA, the idiot locked cells become selectable again. I know I must be missing something obvious here, but I can't see it whatsoever. How can I have VBA protect method also deny selection of locked cells? -- brucemc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ brucemc's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=32871 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=546080 |
