<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Attached is a spreadsheet with Visual Basic subroutines for automatically advancing focus to certain cells, capturing current time stamps after certain cell entry, and then locking time stamp cells from edit. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The sheet was developed from within Excel 2010 and seems to work fine inside that environment.<br />
<br />
However, when running inside Excel 2003, it returns Runtime Error 1004, referencing inability to execute the Lock functions of the subroutine.<br />
<br />
I really need some help reviewing the code here and eliminating the runtime error. &nbsp;Could someone help?

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.

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
