Default Protection and commandButtons

Hi, To all Gurus!

   When I protect a particular worksheet, it includes formulas on certain cells.
    However, when I click a commandbutton the macros should run to change a particular cell to another value, even though a formula like "=Sum(K2+K3)" is laready on that cell.
    This is not the case when Sheet Protection is on. Each time I click on the Commandbutton, it displays this "Sheet is protected".
     How do I go about it to run the procedures attached to the commandbuttons in a protected sheet, as other cells are also required to be protected.
     The answer given by Excel is to unprotect the worksheet, but this will lead to other cells that should be protected becoming unprotected again!
:(

Hi

You must unprotect your sheet first then change cell and then
protect your sheet again

Sub Code()
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, _ Scenarios:=True
'*** Do some changes here
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
End Sub

Hi! Vemaju,
Sorry for the delay in thanking you.
I found out the same principle as yours earlier on and forgot to return to this forum on time.
 I started off with codes to unprotect the sheet first , then ending it by protecting codes!
   It's good to have someone like you assisting me, but I am not sure whether it's proper for me to ask farther as I am still on the "Commandbutton topic", or shall I post a new topic?

Never be afraid to ask, I always say the only bad type of question is the one not asked.
