Trouble adding rows with code

Awhile back Val was kind enough to write the following code for me which has worked very well up till now.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

    If Target.Column = 3 And Target.Row = Me.Cells.Find("*", searchorder:=xlByRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious).Row - 2 And Target.Count = 1 And IsEmpty(Target.Value) = False Then
        Application.EnableEvents = False
        
        Me.Range("A" & Target.Row + 1).EntireRow.Insert
        
        With Me
            .Range("A9:D9").Copy
            .Range("A" & Target.Row + 1 & ":D" & Target.Row + 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
            .Range("D" & Target.Row + 1).Formula = "=A" & Target.Row + 1 & " * C" & Target.Row + 1
            .Range("A" & Target.Row + 1).Select
        End With
        
        Application.CutCopyMode = False
        
    End If
    Application.EnableEvents = True

the problem I am having is that I now need to insert several rows into the work sheet and when I do the code no longer works properly. Unfortunately I do not have the knowledge to know how to revise this code to keep it working properly. Another problem I have is I would like to lock most of the cells and protect the work sheet so that I could tab through the appropriate cells rather than have to click through them with a mouse.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
First of all, let's get the code to insert rows correctly

Test this in a copy of your workbook
- user is asked to input the number of rows to be inserted

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

    If Target.Column = 3 And Target.Row = Me.Cells.Find("*", searchorder:=xlByRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious).Row - 2 And Target.Count = 1 And IsEmpty(Target.Value) = False Then
        Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual: Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        Application.EnableEvents = False
        
        Dim r As Long, rCount As Double
        rCount = Application.InputBox("How many rows to insert?", "Insert Rows", 1, , , , , 1)
        rCount = WorksheetFunction.Max(rCount, 1)                   'insert a minimum of 1 row
        
            For r = 1 To rCount
                Range("A" & Target.Row + 1).EntireRow.Insert
                Range("A9:D9").Copy
                Range("A" & Target.Row + 1 & ":D" & Target.Row + 1).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats
                Range("D" & Target.Row + 1).formula = "=A" & Target.Row + 1 & " * C" & Target.Row + 1
                Range("A" & Target.Row + 1).Select
                Application.CutCopyMode = False
            Next r
        
        Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
        Application.EnableEvents = True
    End If
   
End Sub

I would like to lock most of the cells and protect the work sheet so that I could tab through the appropriate cells rather than have to click through them with a mouse.
Which cells should be locked?

Yongle,

Thank you for the help but I think I have not made myself clear. What I am trying to do is insert rows above row #3 so that i can insert a company name and some other information. The code you sent me works great but after inserting it if I attempt to insert a row the code doesn't work properly. below is a sample of the workbook.


Book1
ABCD
1Rows are added automatically. In order for a row to be added you must enter a number into the "Sell" column. If you would like to add a blank row just enter "0" into that cell and tab out.

How about
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
   Dim Fnd As Range
   If Target.Column = 3 And Target.Row = Me.Cells.Find("*", searchorder:=xlByRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious).Row - 2 And Target.Count = 1 And IsEmpty(Target.Value) = False Then
      Application.EnableEvents = False
   
      Me.Range("A" & Target.Row + 1).EntireRow.Insert
   
      With Me
         Set Fnd = .Range("A:A").Find("Qty", , , xlWhole, , , False, , False)
         If Not Fnd Is Nothing Then
            Fnd.Offset(1).Resize(, 4).Copy
            .Range("A" & Target.Row + 1).Resize(, 4).PasteSpecial paste:=xlPasteFormats
            .Range("D" & Target.Row + 1).FormulaR1C1 = "=rc1*rc3"
            .Range("A" & Target.Row + 1).Select
         End If
      End With
      
      Application.CutCopyMode = False
      
   End If
   Application.EnableEvents = True
   End Sub

   End Sub

Fluff,

this worked perfectly. thanks so much for your help!
Any idea how i can set the tab order to be B5,B6,B7,D5,D6,D7 then down to A10,B10,C10 and so on through the code you sent me? the problem I have had is i have been unable to set the tab order and protect the workbook without messing up the rest of the form.

Fluff,

This one did not work. Would it be possible for me to send you the actual workbook? Below is a image with the revisions I had to make. I apologize for not knowing more about how to code. If I did i might be able to decipher what you did and just tweak it. I'm sure something i did to the layout probably messed up you code.
