    Locking certain cells after a set time.

    Hi every one,
    I'm fairly new to excel and am pretty much self taught and learning as i go, I've got a sheet i use at work to track multiple people's productivity and have ran into an issue where people are going back and changing numbers for hours previous and was wondering if there is any way to format the cells to lock after a specified time? Thanks in advance for any help.

    or if it is simpler is there away to lock a cell if say the value of 0 was input?

    In all cells or a specific range?
    Thanks,
    Solus


    Please remember the following:

    1. Use [code] code tags [/code]. It keeps posts clean, easy-to-read, and maintains VBA formatting.
    Highlight the code in your post and press the # button in the toolbar.

    So if 0 is input into any of those cells then you want them locked?

    Yes, That would work, Each column represents a work hour. Ideally I would like to find a way to set each cell in that range to lock at the end of that work hour, however locking them after 0 has been input should get the job done.
