Hey all...
I have a workbook that I have designed. It is my first attempt at using VBA, and it is going fairly well.
I have a data entry worksheet where all of the manually entered data is stored. I want people to view it, and select cells, but not to change the data. I protected the sheet no problem.
I created a VBA form that when the "OK" button is clicked, the sheet is unprotected, the data is entered, and then the sheet is protected again.
My question is this...
When a user tries to manually change a cell in the data entry sheet, they get the standard Excel message... "The cell or chart you are trying to change is protected... "
This message gives information on how to unprotect the sheet.
Is there a way to change that default message and have it tell the user to open the Data Entry form? Can I even add an option to the message to open the form?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
