    Lock cells / ranges to an existing VBA code to create editable areas and allow VBA to run

    I haven't used VBA before so I'm really new to this :-) The below is the code I am currently using , and simply need to lock all area's of the sheet (with out using the sheet name) apart from A13:A377, B1, D3:D4, D13:D377, F13:I377. I can't protect the sheet because the VBA won't work. Help please...

    Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    ' To allow multiple selections in a Drop Down List in Excel (without repetition)
    Dim Oldvalue As String
    Dim Newvalue As String
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    On Error GoTo Exitsub
    If Target.Column = 1 Then
    If Target.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeAllValidation) Is Nothing Then
    GoTo Exitsub
    Else: If Target.Value = "" Then GoTo Exitsub Else
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    Newvalue = Target.Value
    Application.Undo
    Oldvalue = Target.Value
    If Oldvalue = "" Then
    Target.Value = Newvalue
    Else
    If InStr(1, Oldvalue, Newvalue) = 0 Then
    Target.Value = Oldvalue & " & " & Newvalue
    Else:
    Target.Value = Oldvalue
    End If
    End If
    End If
    End If
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    Exitsub:
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    End Sub
