    lock cell content after data input

    Hello; i would like to lock all cells in an excel sheet after a first data input
    i use the code

    ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="YourPassword"
    Target.Locked = True
    ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="YourPassword"

    normally it should work fine

    but in that same sheet i had an other code who allow me put in order lines according the number i enter in cell on culumn A
    the used code for that is

    Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    Range("A1").Sort Key1:=Range("A2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom

    End Sub

    so the problem is thta these two codes don't work together
    it gave me an error message when i click in some cell

    my question :
    how can i use both these codes at the same sheet because i need them both

    thanks

    Unprotect the sheet before sorting then reprotect it after.

    Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    ActiveSheet.UnProtect Password:="YourPassword"
    Range("A1").Sort Key1:=Range("A2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
    ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="YourPassword"
    End Sub
    Surround your VBA code with CODE tags e.g.;
    [CODE]your VBA code here[/CODE]
    The # button in the forum editor will apply CODE tags around your selected text.
