Adapt sheet Protection
Currently use:
ActiveSheet.protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=False, AllowFormattingCells:=True It ALLOWS the user to Select LOCKED Cells still. How can i have the Cells that are LOCKED to NOT be ENABLED, Yet have them still able to Select UNLOCKED Cells and be able to Format the Unlocked Cells too? Is there a : LockedCellsSelect:=False ?

Adapt sheet Protection
When you protect sheet, by default two options are selected and those options
allow user to select locked cells. Go to Tools - Protection - Protect Sheet, in that you'l find list of options underneath "Allow all users of this worksheet to:" deselect following options from list 1. Select locked cells 2. Select unlocked cells Hope this helps !!!

Adapt sheet Protection
Thanks for the reply.
Yes i can MANUALLY change the Locked Cells to Not be able to be selected. But i want to do this with code. As i leave the workbook (Close it) and when i open it it reverts back to Locked cells being able to be selected again. Corey.... "Himani" wrote in message ...

Or
.EnableSelection = xlUnlockedCells Excel won't remember these settings after you close it and reopen the workbook (so put it in your auto_open or workbook_open procedure) Himani wrote: ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True ActiveSheet.EnableSelection = xlNoSelection "Coza" wrote: Thanks for the reply.
