VBA Lock and protect cells

Hello,

I will try and explain this the bext I can.
The attached sheet is an example sheet of what I am trying to do.
All cells are 'Locked' and 'Hidden' with the exception of W3:X45.

I have a VBA script that, when I save the document, it looks at the cells W3:X45, adds the 'Locked' atribute to the non-empty cells and then protects the sheet. This bit is working but it is also unlocking all the empty cells.

I want to leave all the other cells 'Locked', protected and untouched, I only want the VBA script to work on the section of W3:X45; locking the cells that containing something.

I have tried a few varitions of the script but I am no expert at VBA so decided to go to those that are :-)

Instead of adding all my code attempts to this I have added them all to the VBA Script editor for you to look at and compare.


Thank you all in advance.
