Locked Property Error

[Raman325]

Hey guys,

In one of my macros, I am trying to unlock a given cell by saying Cells(row number, column letter).Locked = False. I have used it before and it worked, but for some reason, I keep getting an error which states:

Run-time error '1004':

Unable to set the Locked property of the Range class

The sheets are unprotected so that shouldn't be an issue. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance and please let me know if you need more information.

Is the cell/range merged?

This worked ok when I merged A1:B1
Cells(1, 1).MergeArea.Locked = False

Maybe the rownumber and/or columnletter weren't correct?

Thank you for the response. I checked the reference t omake sure it was correct and it was fine. It is part of a merged cell, however. If I use the MergedArea reference like you have used, will it work on cells that haven't been merged as well?

What happened when you tried it?

(It worked ok for me.)

Sometimes, it's just quicker to try it out.

Yes it will, but how easy would it have been to test it?

Sorry about that, unfortunately, I did not have access to the macro when I had sent you that response. Thanks again for your help.
