Hello!

I'm trying to figure out where I'm going wrong with my code. Basically I want my code to decide what protections to initiate and how to proceed based on the data in column C on the 'LOA' tab. My table starts at A8 (headers) and is dynamic. My code should be allowing user entry from C9 to last row and only allowing users to edit columns A-B & H-O if there is data selected in Column C for that row. I had to adjust some of the ranges and that's where I started receiving the error. My original code allowed users to edit the headers because there was data in C8 so I tried to update the code to prevent that.

My current code is below:

VBA Code: 
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim wsRef As Worksheet
    Dim lastRow As Long
    Dim lastRowRef As Long
    
    ' Set worksheet references
    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("LOA")
    Set wsRef = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("References")
    
    ' Unprotect workbook and sheets
    ThisWorkbook.Unprotect "123456"
    ws.Unprotect "123456"
    wsRef.Unprotect "123456"
    
    ' Sort data on LOA sheet
    lastRow = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row
    ws.Sort.SortFields.Clear
    ws.Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=ws.Range("C8:C" & lastRow), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:=xlSortNormal
    With ws.Sort
        .SetRange ws.Range("A8:O" & lastRow)
        .Header = xlYes
        .MatchCase = False
        .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
        .SortMethod = xlPinYin
        .Apply
    End With
    
    ' Set up data validation for Employee Name
    lastRowRef = wsRef.Cells(wsRef.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    With ws.Range("C9:C" & lastRow).Validation
        .Delete
        .Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:= _

I'm also trying to add code that will delete all of the data in a row (without removing data validations or formatting) when the data in Column C is deleted. I tried the following code, but I wasn't sure how to implement it.

VBA Code: 
Option Explicit

Private Const WARNING_MESSAGE_DEL As String = "Warning: You are attempting to delete data in Column C." & vbNewLine & _
    "This action will clear the entire row. Do you want to proceed?"
    
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDelete(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
    Dim intersectRange As Range
    
    ' Check if the deletion involves Column C
    Set intersectRange = Intersect(Target, Me.Columns("C"))
    
    If Not intersectRange Is Nothing Then
        If MsgBox(WARNING_MESSAGE_DEL, vbExclamation + vbYesNo, "Deletion Warning") = vbNo Then
            Cancel = True
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub ClearRowExceptColumnC(ByVal rowNumber As Long)
    ' Clear cells to the left of Column C
    Me.Range("A" & rowNumber & ":B" & rowNumber).ClearContents
    
    ' Clear cells to the right of Column C
    Me.Range("D" & rowNumber & ":" & Me.Cells(rowNumber, Columns.Count).Address).ClearContents
End Sub

I'm very much a novice when it comes to VBA, but I love the customizability and am trying to learn more. If you have any other advice it would be very much appreciated!

Did you id the line that raises the error? I didn't see that and it's vital, I think. IMO you should post the offending line outside the code in your post, and if it appears more than once, then use comments in your code. I understand the error; I'm just too lazy to search for that needle in your haystack ;)
After a quick look, I suspect it involves your reference to Me. because that code is in a sheet module. AFAIK, Me would only apply to referencing a userform and the code would be in the userform module, not in a sheet event.

Me works fine in a Worksheet module, it just refers to the object the code resides in.... you can't use it in a regular module.

What happens if you add the 2 lines in blue as shown:

Rich (BB code): 
Private Sub UpdateCellLockStatus(ByVal Target As Range)
    Dim cell As Range
    Dim affectedRange As Range
    Dim lastRow As Long
    
    lastRow = Me.Cells(Me.Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row
    For Each cell In Intersect(Target, Me.Range("C9:C" & lastRow))
        Set affectedRange = Union(Me.Range("A" & cell.Row & ":B" & cell.Row), _
                                  Me.Range("H" & cell.Row & ":O" & cell.Row))
        
        affectedRange.Locked = (cell.Value = "")
    Next cell
End Sub

You're using Option Explicit but you don't have a variable for DataRange in Workbook Open event.
Set DataRange = ws.Range("C9:C" & lastRow)
It looks like you have a module for every procedure that you posted because you have Option Explicit at the beginning of each procedure. It's not necessary to create a module for each procedure BTW.

EDIT - I see you have other undeclared variables as well. Best that you repeatedly try to compile your code and fix the problems that that will find.

Unfortunately that gives me the same error.

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but when I go in to VBA I click on 'Debug' and then 'Compile VBAProject', but nothing happens. What would the next step be?

I don't know because if you have Option Explicit at the top of a module and if code in that module uses an undeclared variable, it should not compile. The only exception I can think of is if the reference is to a property, object or method that is preceded by the Bang operator ( ! ) as in Me!Range("BadRangeReferenceHere"). At least that is the case for Access, which I'm more familiar with. I had to fix 3 or 4 undeclared variables to get your code to compile. One of them was ID'd in post 4 (1st blue line. I'm trying to test your code and raise the error, but might not succeed since my wb doesn't have what yours has.

Update: I can raise the error in worksheet change event if I
- put a Stop statement near the top of the workbook open event code
- change the error handler to:
VBA Code: 
ErrorHandler:
    MsgBox "An error occurred: " & Err.Description, vbCritical, "Error"
    'Resume ExitSub '<<<
    Resume
- save the wb and re-open
- then step through the code
For me, the error is raised because lastrow = 0, although the error doesn't seem to make sense for that reason.

I don't think posting code that works is going to help but I'll try to look at it after you reply to this suggestion. Add this blue line and see if it returns 0.
Rich (BB code): 
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim lastrow As Long
    On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
    
    lastrow = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).row
    Msgbox lastrow
    If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("C9:C" & lastrow)) Is Nothing Then
then save and re-open your wb. BTW, you get the error when you open the wb or when doing something else?
