Change Excel system messages
Folks,
When certain cells in a worksheet are protected Excel gives you a message. Is there anyway to create your own messages and not use Excel's? I know in Access you can capture the error code and generate your own message so I was wondering if you could not do the same in Excel.

Your code is simply error handling and will not react when sheet is protected.

Glad that the information was useful. It's always good practice to put error-trapping in any piece of code (*) that could potentially create an error (and in Excel, it's almost every piece of code.)
(*) subs called by error-handled methods may not need error-traps if you don't mind the error floating up, but then you typically lose access to the line or other information about where the error occurred.
