Is active cell editable?

[XP]

Using Office 2007 with Win XP;

I need to determine if the active cell is currently in an editable state. I
guess that really translates into whether or not it is locked AND sheet
protection is turned on? Is this all that needs to be tested?

Does anyone have efficient example code that might return true if
editable/false if not? If so, could you please post?

Thanks much in advance.

Hi,

Try this. the message boxes are just for demonstration

Sub sonic()
If ActiveSheet.ProtectContents And ActiveCell.Locked Then
MsgBox "Locked"
Else
MsgBox "Unlocked"
End If

End Sub
