    Double click event in protected sheet to trigger color change and value insertion

    Hey crew,

    Need your help. I have this worksheet with some code in it already. Kindly refer to it.

    The objective is that any time a cell in the ranges I have defined is double clicked, the cell that was double clicked will turn blue, and the cell in the the corresponding row in column D returns the score rating in target column row 8.

    Example, if I double click on H13. This cell (H13) will turn blue, all other cells in range E11:L14 will clear color fill formatting, and D10 will return "4" (because column H row 8 has a 4). Similarly, if I double click on I17, I17 will turn blue, all others in E17:L18 will clear color, and D17 will return a "5" (I8).

    Sheet1 is protected. Passwords are stored in worksheet pwdsheet which is xlveryhidden.

    The problem is that if Sheet1 is unprotected the code works. Once it runs the first time, the sheet will protect itself and double clicking will not work. It doesn't work if I close and reopen either. I'm an amateur coder, so can you please clean up my code?

    Thanks

    Ron

    Kindly

    [1] Use code tags. Place "[code]" before the first line of code and "[/code"]" after the last line of code. Exclude quotation marks
    [2] Mark your post [SOLVED] if it has been answered satisfactorily by editing your original post in advanced mode.
    [3] Thank (using the little scale) those that provided useful help; its nice and its very well appreciated

    Hi Sir,

    Still not working

    Nothing happens when I double click. It works if Sheet1 is unlocked, but after that the sheet locks itself with the password in worksheet "pwdsheet B2" and nothing happens when I double click.

    I had to add .EnableSelection property to the lock. It's working now. Did I do it right?

    Glad you figured it out.

    You don't need the first EnableSelection when it unprotects the sheet. It doesn't hurt having it though.
