I have a protected worksheet with some cells unprotected, and this works
fine till I run a macro to essentally clear some of the unprotected cells.
The cells get cleared but the 'unprotected' cells get locked in the process.
Is there a way round this or am I missing the obvious.
Have included the macro code for your comments

Many thanks
Bernard

Hi Bunnis,

I have a protected worksheet with some cells unprotected, and this works
fine till I run a macro to essentally clear some of the unprotected cells.
The cells get cleared but the 'unprotected' cells get locked in the
process.

Replace each instance of :

Selection.Clear

with

Selection.ClearContents

If, however, you also need to delete formats, change each instance of:

Selection.Clear

to

With Selection
.Clear
.Locked = False
End with

Regards,
Norman
