Hello to all,

I'm new to VBA but can understand some.
I need help regarding locking/protecting the active sheet when the value on cell matches my required value.
For example,
The value will appear on column D. If a value appear on D is "REJECT" the active sheet will become protected.
But before the value on D appear, it must satisfy the condition on column B and C. Cells on column B and C are under formula as well as column D.
The data on column B is dependent on column A1 and data on column C is dependent on A2.
Pls see below
[TABLE="width: 417, align: left"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]
[/TD]
[TD]A
[/TD]
[TD]B
[/TD]
[TD]C

Data on column A are from scanner, so I need to finish scanning to have data on column B and C and to have data on column D.

Thanks in advance for any help you could give me.

Hi. See if the code below, which should go into the module of the proper worksheet, could be a start.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
 If Application.CountIf([D:D], "REJECT") Then ActiveSheet.Protect
End Sub

Hi @Osvaldo,

Thank you for your reply.
But the code still don't lock the active sheet when "REJECT" value on column D.
I still input data on column A.
