    Exclamation Automatically Protect a single cell

    Hi All!

    I have a worksheet1 and want the users (employees) to enter the data in it, but if they enter any value that must be locked itself, so that they can't delete the data.

    Can you plz please test my below codes and make the required corrections in it?
    1) How can I add UserInterFaceOnly:=True in the protection, so they are just allow to format the cell/ cells, but can't delete anything?
    2) If I select more than one cell (range) whether they are blank or not, but my codes give an error msg — Run-time error '13': Type mismatch

    Thanks for replying!

    I've check ur both the codes; version2 is better, but still I'm getting an error msg — Run-time error '1004': Unable to set the locked property of the Range class.


    When the cell already has protected, then I don't know sometimes how i'm getting error msg on selecting those cell/cells? Kindly check out the attached.

    . . .and how can I apply UserInterFaceOnly:=True for allowing the formatting on the protected cell/cells?

    Re: Automatically Protect a single cell

    Version 3 is awesome man! Working perfectly!!

    I am able to do formatting on the blank cell/cells, not after the protection.

    my 1st question: 1) How can I add UserInterFaceOnly:=True in the protection, so they are just allow to format the cell/ cells, but can't delete anything?

    To "Tweak" the protection setttings just start recording a macro , then protect a sheet with the settings that you want. Once you stop recording you can cut/paste the appropriate info out of recorded macro into your "protection" macro...
