Code:
Msgbox ("Sheet is protected", vbOKOnly, "ERROR!")

Cheers

Hello,

Try

Code:

or something else for MY_ENTRY

Just remove the parentheses ().

Good afternoon yoko

You only need the brackets () when you want to trap the user's response - see onlyadrafter's reply. For a straigtforward "OK" only you don't need the brackets, or to specify the vbOKOnly bit :

Code:
MsgBox "Sheet is protected", , "ERROR!"
