Allowing access to only 3 columns NOT the first one

I have to do this in VBA code because I am using UserForms to allow the option of MODIFY.
Once the user chooses to modify the list I want the to be able to modify everything but the first column. I have a total of four columns.

This is what I coded. It worked on a stand alone worksheet, but not within my Excel system that I have built. The user does not have access to the taskbar or formula bar until they press the MODIFY button.

Sub Modify_click()
Worksheets("MCAR Project List").Unprotect
Range("A3").Select
Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.End (xlDown)).Select

Selection.Locked = True
Selection.FormulaHidden = True

bottomRw = Application.CountA (ActiveSheet.Range("A:A"))

ActiveSheet.Range(Cells(2, 2), Cells(bottomRw, 4)).Select

Selection.Locked = False
Selection.FormulaHidden = False
Range("A1:D1").Select
ActiveSheet.Protect Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
End Sub

Thanks for looking at it! Nancy
