Hi, the macro below has been working fine to reset a number or dropdowns I have on a spreadsheet, but if Protect the worksheet I get the following error: Runtime error '424' - Object Required

How can I modify this macro to run when I Protect the worksheet?

Many thanks in advance!


Sub ResetList()

'
' ResetList Macro
'
Dim rngList As Range
Dim ListCell As Range

On Error Resume Next
Set rngLists = Sheets("AP Risk Scorecard").UsedRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeAllValidation)
On Error GoTo 0

If Not rngLists Is Nothing Then
For Each ListCell In rngLists.Cells
ListCell.Value = Range(Trim(Mid(Replace(ListCell.Validation.Formula1, ":", String(99, " ")), 2, 99))).Value
Next ListCell
End If
Range("E15").Select

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Add something like the following line of code to the beginning of your subroutine:
Code:
Sheets("AP Risk Scorecard").Unprotect Password:="abcd"
and add something like this line of code to the end of your subroutine:
Code:
Sheets("AP Risk Scorecard").Protect Password:="abcd", DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
