MAKE CELL LOCKED

Posted by Michael on February 04, 2002 4:29 AM

Is there a way VBA or other wise of making a cell locked once data has been entered in to it for the first time?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes there is. First set up your worksheet with the cells that can be changed as Unlocked (Format, Cells, Protection). Then protect your worksheet with a password (this example uses 'password'). Then right click the worksheet tab and choose View Code. Paste this:-

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Me.Unprotect "password"
Target.Locked = True
Me.Protect "password"
End Sub

It's not foolproof but it's a start,

Any probs let me know,
