I have this code below & it works to password protect the sheet, but the cells are still locked to format. Any suggestions what I am missing?



Sheets("Cell_Data").Protect Password:="password", AllowFormattingCells:=True
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
The code allows me to format cells (eg Bold , background or font colour, borders etc)
Could you have some other code somewhere (eg event code) that is applying protection without allowing formatting?
