You could try the tools menu then protection and then the protect sheet tab,
it gives a list of things that it will allow to do on a protected sheet if your macros preform and of those just put a tick in the box, otherwise all i can think of is to unlock the cells that are being altered.

Change your macro to unprotect, run the routine then re-protect.
Sub runit() ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="justme" your code runs here ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="justme" End Sub Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Fri, 5 Oct 2007 12:08:04 -0700, ub wrote: Yes, it does alter the locked cells "Terry" wrote: is the macro altering any of the locked cells on the protected sheet ?

Protecting sheet that has macro
Hello,
If you include "ActiveSheet.Protect UserInterfaceOnly:=True" in your code, you can keep the sheet protected while still allowing the macro to alter the sheet. Hope this helps, JP On Oct 5, 3:01 pm, ub wrote: Hi I am protecting a sheet that has macro, my sheet fives macro error. But when I unprotect the sheet and run the sheet, there is no error.
