Hi. I need a little help with a simple toggle that I am trying to attach to a button. I want to be able to lock a range and also unlock a range with one button. This is what I am trying to make work:

For Each cell In ActiveSheet.Range("A6:D45")
Selection.Locked = Not Selection.Locked
Next

I'm still new at writing macros. Thank you for looking at my post. --Ben

Excel Can Read to You
Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
Your code is looping through cells, but only affecting whatever cells are selected at the time.

You can just refer to the range rather than looping through cells. Try:

Code:
With Range("A6:D45")
    .Locked = Not .Locked
End With
