    Thumbs up How can a macro enter data in a protected Table cell?

    I'm using this code to set a time-stamp in Table1 Column A2:A601, the column is protected. When i enter data in column B2:B601, the macro enters the time-stamp. However, if the sheet is protected (no password used) the macro throws an error. How can the macro be modified to function with the sheet Protected (no password)?

    This will test to see if the sheet is protected and return the sheet to the protection state it starts with. Assuming no password:

    Yes, that did it. Thanks again JBeaucaire. I'm an absolute novice when it comes to Excel formulas as I've never used it much. When I search for ways to do what I want, sometimes I understand it, mostly I don't. But I do try to resolve the issues before posting on this forum....

    Thanks again.
