Excel VBA: scenarios 1004 When Trying to Clear Contents of Specific Cells in Protected Sheet
I'm stuck trying to I'm working with a frustrating scenario when trying to clear specific cells in a protected worksheet using Excel VBA. My code works perfectly when the sheet is unprotected, but once I protect it, I receive a 'Run-time behavior 1004: Application-defined or object-defined behavior' when I try to execute the line that clears the contents. Here’s the relevant part of my code: ```vba Sub ClearCellContents() Dim ws As Worksheet Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data") ws.Unprotect "mypassword" ws.Range("A1:B10").ClearContents ws.Protect "mypassword" End Sub ``` I’ve ensured that I’m unprotecting the sheet before making any changes, but it still throws the behavior when trying to clear the contents. I've also checked that the range specified exists and is not out of bounds. Could this be related to other protection settings? I have the option 'Edit objects' unchecked, and I suspect that's where the scenario might lie. I also tried running the code step-by-step with F8, and it fails right at the `ClearContents` line when the sheet is protected. Is there a way to clear the cell contents without removing the protection or is there a specific setting I need to adjust on the sheet's protection options? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! I'm open to any suggestions.
