Data Entry
Are you using the inbuilt data form, or have you made your own?

Data Entry
You could add a button to the worksheet and link it to the following macro.
Sub Macro1() ActiveSheet.Unprotect ActiveSheet.ShowDataForm ActiveSheet.Protect End Sub This will unprotect the worksheet and show the form. When you close the form, your worksheet will be locked again. Make sure you unprotect the button though so you can still click it when the worksheet is locked.
