Identifing Locked Cells
I have a fairly complex spreadsheet that requires salespeople to fill in
info. Many cells are locked from being changed. Is there a way to create a macro that looks a current sheet and will change the cell color if cell is locked (or unlocked)? Right now I review by going from cell, to, cell, to cell..... Any suggestions is MUCH appreciated.... Steve |

Identifing Locked Cells
Rather than a macro, can you set up a format Style and apply it to
locked cells? You could set up the cell color using the Style you define. Mark Steve Klenner wrote: I have a fairly complex spreadsheet that requires salespeople to fill in info.
