Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Try:

Code:
oGLBLRS.Open strSql2, oConn, adOpenDynamic
With oWS.Cells(intDestRow, 1)
    .Value = oRS("GLAcct")
    .Locked = True
End With
With oWS.Cells(intDestRow, 2)
    .Value = oRS("GLDescription")
    .Locked = True
End With

Then at the end of your code:

Code:
With ActiveSheet
    .Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
    .EnableSelection = xlUnlockedCells
End With
