I have workbook with multiple worksheets each having a pivot table and chart. I must have these sheets protected as several people use them to input data. I already have a macro for updating the pivot charts using a refresh button that unprotects the sheet, updates the chart then protects it. Now I would like to replace the standard message "The cell or chart you're trying to change is on a protected sheet....." with a custom message notifying who to contact for changes. Any help??
