Combining auto-locking VBA code and auto-expanding a table

[DixieLou]

The following code in a spreadsheet that is used by production staff to enter testing results. I would like to reformat the data entry fields into a table that will automatically expand when the user needs a new line. Currently they have to find someone with the password, who unlocks the spreadsheet and adds more lines (and they don't always do it correctly so the formatting gets messed up). The code works as is, locking the cells as data is entered, but it won't allow me to use a 'tab' in the last cell of the current table in order to add a new line.


I will attempt to attach a small Excel sheet, hopefully it works for me this time!
Thank you for the assistance,
DixieLou


Here is the current code:

# Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim c As Range
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="TEST"
For Each c In Target
c.MergeArea.Locked = (c.Value <> "")
Next c
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="TEST"
End Sub #

Administrative Note:

Welcome to the forum.

We would very much like to help you with your query, however you need to include code tags around your code.

Please take a moment to add the tags. Posting code between tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, and it also maintains VBA formatting.

Please see Forum Rule #2 about code tags and adjust accordingly. Click on Edit to open your post, then highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here
