    How do I lock cells once data input

    Hi

    I have a workbook that has unprotected cells that people has to put data into.

    What im trying to do is when data is input by someone I need the cell protected so it cannot be changed until the sheet is printed via a macro. Once printed I have a clear cells macro of which I then need to unprotect and clear cells.

    Any Ideas as sont know where to start and programming skills very low.

    You would need to have some routine to determine if the cell has been updated..
    then you can do this:

    Occurs when cells on the worksheet are changed by the user or by an external link.

    Many thanks.

    Can I just check that this would be OK for a macro...

    If so do you know what the number is to turn cells yellow.

    dont know the color codes, but you can always "record" a macro and see what it records when you change a cell color..

    The recorder helps me when i dont know or cant find anything online..

    start recording, change a cell color, then stop the recorder, then go look at the macro it generated and see what the code is.
