Keep people from changing time in and time out

I have an old computer at work. We are going to use it as our time clock. I want them to enter their time in and out themselves. However, once they entered their time, I don't want them to be able to change it. Is there something I can do to prevent this? If so, I would need a manager to be able to edit it as needed.

Any ideas?

Thank You,
Michael

Hello, Michael,

can you start with something like this ?
Code:
Option Explicit

Dim flag As Boolean

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Erik Van Geit
'051124
'freeze entries
If flag = True Then Exit Sub
If Target.Count > 1 Then GoTo skip
If MsgBox("do you confirm this entry ?" & Chr(10) & Format(Target, "hh:mm:ss"), 292, "PLEASE CONFIRM") = vbNo Then GoTo skip
    
    Me.Unprotect "password"
    Target.Locked = True
    Me.Protect "password"

Exit Sub
skip:
flag = True
Application.Undo
flag = False
End Sub
TO INSTALL IN SHEET CODE WINDOW:
1. right click the "Name Tab" of sheet you want code to work in
2. Select "View Code" in drop down menu
3. VBE window will open ... paste code in and exit VBE

all entry cells must be unlocked to start and will be "frozen" one by one

kind regards,
Erik
