modify locked cells

can anybody please help me. how will i modify unlocked a particular cell using macro and locked it again. thanks in advance!!

lets say you want to change the value of cell F20 in sheet 1 and your sheet is protected with the password "jug" ('locked' property doesn't hold good if the sheet is not protected)

try the following macro

VB Code:

Sub Macro1()
Sheets("sheet1").Select
ActiveSheet.Unprotect ("jug") ' unprotect sheet using "jug" as password
    Range("f20").Select
    Range("f20").Value = 10 ' change value of cell
ActiveSheet.Protect ("jug") ' protect sheet using "jug" as password
End Sub

hope this helps...

ok..thanks a bunch!!!
