Hello Friends,

I am new to VBA and i have trying to set a code up that does the following.

If values are entered in any given row of column F. all the columns in that given row will be locked and protected.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Set Rng = Range("F2:F999999")
If Sheets("Sheet1").ProtectContents = True Then Sheets("Sheet1").Unprotect Password:="myPass"
For Each cell In Rng
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Range("rng")) = 0 Then
Else
If Sheets("Sheet1").ProtectContents = True Then Sheets("Sheet1").Unprotect Password:="myPass"
Range("A2:E6").Locked = True
End If
Sheets("Sheet1").Protect Password:="myPass", UserInterfaceOnly:=True
End Sub

I know it does not look pretty, hope somebody is able to help me.

Assuming that you are just trying to lock columns A:E in the row where you are entering a value for column F, try this code:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

    Dim r As Long

'   Exit if multiple cells updated at once
    If Target.CountLarge > 1 Then Exit Sub
    
'   Only run if column F updated
    If Target.Column = 6 Then
        If Sheets("Sheet1").ProtectContents = True Then Sheets("Sheet1").Unprotect Password:="myPass"
'       Lock columns A:E in that row
        r = Target.Row
        Range(Cells(r, "A"), Cells(r, "E")).Locked = True
        Sheets("Sheet1").Protect Password:="myPass", UserInterfaceOnly:=True
    End If

End Sub
