I'm trying to unlock a specified range but get the above mentioned error.

My code:

Dim historyWks As Worksheet
Dim nextRow As Long

Public Const lCellsDE As Long = 11

Set historyWks = Worksheets("Invoices")

With historyWks
nextRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Row
End With

With historyWks
Set rngProtect = Range(.Cells(nextRow, 1), .Cells(nextRow, lCellsDE))
.Unprotect
Range(rngProtect).Locked = False
.Protect
End With

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
rngProtect is a Range object, not the name/address of a range, so it's just:

Code:
rngProtect.Locked = False
