That feature is only available in versions 2003 (?) and later. If the WB is
opened on an older system, the setting will be ignored.
But assuming the user has a compatible version, what does "it doesn't seem
to work." mean ?
Not applied, errors, something else ?
Do you have to Protect the worksheet for these setting to come into effect ?

"TheRook" ...
I currently have a worksheet that has locked & un-locked cells. At present
anyone can edit the un-locked cells.

What I am wanting to do is allow certain people to only edit certain
un-locked cells. I have tried to do this by using toolsprotectionallow
users to edit rangers, but it doesn't seem to work.

Can anyone help.

Cheers
