Allowing users to edit ranges was added in xl2002--so it doesn't exist in xl2k.

You could unlock all the cells that anyone can change.

Or maybe provide some kind of macro that unprotects the sheet, locks/unlocks
cells based on a user, and then reprotect the sheet. (Doesn't sound like fun to
me.)

On top of that, worksheet protection is easily broken. Macros can be turned
off. It would be a pain.

I am trying to lock some information in Excel sheets while leaving other

but several of the receipients are using older versions of Excel. When I
tried to enter data using Excel 200 it only worked in some of the sheets and
I am worried that this is not a supported function in previous versions. Does
anyone know if this is the case and if so, is there anyway around it?
