I want to be able to double click a cell and then insert a row under the clicked cell that copies the formula from the above locked cells.

When the sheet is unprotected, the code works fine. But when I try and the sheet is protected I get the error below. Is there a work around?

Excel Facts

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
You can unprotect the sheet at the start of the code & protect it again at the end.

Put this as the 1st line of codeMe.Unprotect "Password" and this as the last line Me.Protect "Password"
Change Password to whatever you password is.

Solution
Put this as the 1st line of codeMe.Unprotect "Password" and this as the last line Me.Protect "Password"
Change Password to whatever you password
Would {Me.Unprotect "" } be the same as having no password?
