Hello
When the user closes the workbook, I want a message to appear if the worksheet has not been protected. I was using the code below but it closes the workbook without giving the user the opportunity to protect and save. Is there a way to stop the macro from closing the workbook and allow the user to make changes?


Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Beforeclose(Cancel As Boolean)

If Range(“C2”).locked=false then
	Msgbox(“Protect Wkbk and save”)
End if

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Try:

Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Beforeclose(Cancel As Boolean)

If Range(“C2”).locked=false then
    Msgbox(“Protect Wkbk and save”)
    Cancel = True
End if

End Sub
