I hate to "throw a wrench into the monkeyworks", but:
you were trying to use the SheetSelectionChange event.
which actually runs for ANY sheet in your workbook, not just a specific sheet.
which might be a bit confusing if you have multiple sheets,
and you're using the event macro to "lock" the cells, then it would actually
lock the cells the other sheets as well..
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As
Range)
If you only want the macro to run on a specific sheet, you can either test the
Sh object for the sheet name.
Or you can create a similar event macro in the sheet module called:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Next, if you're wanting to "lock" cells A1:P9, you could use something like:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As
Range)
Dim Targ As Range
For Each Targ In Target
If (Not Intersect(Targ, Sh.Range("A1:P8")) Is Nothing) Then
Sh.Range("A9").Select
Exit For
End If
Next Targ
End Sub
One thing I've run into is that if you select multiple cells, the "Target"
variable becomes an array instead of a simple object.
So I use the Targ variable to loop through the Target selection array.
This works if you select a single cell or multiple.
In this case, I look for the "intersection" of the selected cell and the
"locked" range.
If the cell is within the blocked range, it returns the range.
(or "Not nothing")
in which case I selce another cell (which, incidentally calls this event again)
The nice thing about this is that if you wish to change the values of the
"blocked" cells using VBA, you don't actually "select" the cell, you simply
have to use something like:
Range("A2").value = "Test"
something else you need to be aware of is that the "Target" variable
a range variable, but the address is in "absolute" terms.
That is, if you select cell A9, Target.Address is $A$9
So, if you want to test to see if the selected cell is A9, you could use either:
If (Targ.Address = "$A$9") then
or even:
If (Targ.Row = 9) and (Targ.Column = 1) then
