<div>
Sure, something like (to lock cell A1 depending on user):<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-37812894-1">Private Sub Workbook_Open()
     dim sUser as string

     sUser = LCase(Environ$(&quot;username&quot;))) 
     Select case sUser
          Case is = &quot;Admin&quot;
               cells(&quot;A1&quot;).locked = false
          Case else
               cells(&quot;A1&quot;).locked = True
     End Select
End Sub</code></pre>

Is there a way to code a VBA script to detect a users login ID (userID = LCase(Environ$(&quot;username&quot;)<wbr />)) and based on the result lock the active cell from being edited?<br />
<br />
Basically if user A, B, &amp;&nbsp;C clicks in a specific cell and makes changes no problem.<br />
If user D or E tries, it prevents the edit and displays a little &quot;You don't have access&quot; message?<br />
<br />
Can this be done strickly with VBA code? &nbsp;If so, can you help with examples.<br />
<br />
Thanks -

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
