I am looking for the correct VBA syntax to lock the cells of row and two.
My attempt below produces an error.

Rich (BB code):
With ws_data
        .Unprotect
        .Cells.Locked = False
        .Rows(1, 2).cells.Locked = True
End With

I'm certain I will kick myself for the simplicity of the solution. I'm just having a moment of old age.
 

Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
The line in red should be:
VBA Code:
.Rows("1:2").cells.Locked = True
