instead of having excel pop up and give the user instrustions on how to unprotect a sheet, is there a way I can avoid this by using a message box?
thanks!

to trap the error. Then, if the err.number <> 0, display a message box.

the only problem I think I have with that is that it's not an error.
its happening when a sheets is protected and you try to type in a certain cells and it pops up saying: "the cell or chart that you are trying to change is protected and therefore read-only. To modify a protected cell or chart, first remove protection using the Unprotect Sheet command (Review Tab, Changes Group). You may be prompted for a password."
It's an error in that you are trying to change a locked cell on a protected sheet. If you know that's what you want to do under program control, either unprotect the sheet in code yourself, or intercept the error and use your own message.
Your choice.

you cannot alter or prevent the built-in message if you have a user typing in protected cells

Yes,
I tried what you told me, and nothing is happening. I'm still getting the same pop up message
