Corey.....a few weeks back you helped me try to stop certain cells from
being protected...............Dec 12th 2006 13.09

I can't quite get it to work.........................

Ive got a large-ish sheet open but only want to allow certain cells to be
able to be alterred............

I seem to be able to either block the whole sheet or else it allows every
cell to be over written...
