Which version of Excel?

2002 and 2003 have under ToolsProtection "allow users
to edit ranges"

You can set passworded access to cells for these users.

I have a large workbook that has the majority of cells

left unprotected to allow for data entry. On one
worksheet, the FrontPage sheet I have five cells that I
need to stop data entry from anyone other that the
manager of the section. Can I use code and an a message
input box to accept a suitable password to allow data
entry to these cells. The code could include unprotect
range.

I am currently using .enable and .disable to allow
acces
to the cells. whenthe first cell has data added it
gives
acces to the second cell etc. I need to password
protect
access to the first cell, and each other as they become
available.

Hope this makes sense, Thanks in advance to anyone who
can help with code.
