worksheet change

[Guest]

I have the following code to protect cells in a shared workbook. What I'm
trying to do is tun off the undo if the cell is blank

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 1 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Undo
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.Speech.Speak "Locked Cell"
End If
End Sub

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for all the help today

Try this...

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 1 Then
with Application
.EnableEvents = False
if target.value <> '' then .Undo
.EnableEvents = True
.Speech.Speak "Locked Cell"
end with
End If
End Sub

One thing to keep in mind is that this code will not execute if the user
pastes into this column...

Hi Jim

I have a syntax error in the following line of code

if target.value <> '' then .Undo

I tried using double quotes and single quotes, neither corrected the error.

Do you have any suggestion on how I can correct this error?

Thanks for any help

This didn't work:

if target.value <> "" then .Undo

Hi Dave,

When I use "" I still can't enter data in a cell that is blank, it will
undo the entry and the cell will remain blank

Thanks for any help

Maybe...

Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Value = "" Then Exit Sub
If Target.Column = 1 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.Undo
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.Speech.Speak "Locked Cell"
End If
End Sub

This allows you to clear a cell.

Remember target.value is what's there after the change--not before.

The following code answered my question, Thanks to all

Dim Oldvalue As Variant


Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Oldvalue = Target(1).Formula

End Sub



Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)


If Target.Column = 1 And Oldvalue <> "" Then
With Application
.EnableEvents = False
.Undo
.EnableEvents = True
.Speech.Speak "Locked Cell"
End With
End If
End Sub
