Default Lock a named range

I have a named range (='Site Limiting Factors'!$J$10) that defines a named
range for several merged cells. When I call MYRange.Lock I get an error
"Cannot change part of a merged cell." How do you lock and protect a Merged
cell?

Thanks

Default Lock a named range

Merged cells are a pita. If you can change the name's definition have it
refer to all cells in the merge. If not, create a new name to do that.

Maybe

myrange.mergearea.locked = true
