How to Lock the data in a cell in excel using vba

Question

I want to stop others from editing the cell contents in my excel sheet using VBA. Is it possible to do this?

Answer 1

Let's say for example in one case, if you want to locked cells from range A1 to I50 then below is the code:

Worksheets("Enter your sheet name").Range("A1:I50").Locked = True
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="Enter your Password"

In another case if you already have a protected sheet then follow below code:

ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="Enter your Password"
Worksheets("Enter your sheet name").Range("A1:I50").Locked = True
ActiveSheet.Protect Password:="Enter your Password"
