By default all cells on a sheet are locked when the sheet is protected.

CTRL + a(twice in 2003) to select all cells.

FormatCellsProtection. Uncheck "locked" and OK

Now select the sections/rows/cells to protect and FormatCellsProtection.
Check "locked" and OK

ToolsProtectionProtect Sheet

The section/row locking does not work if you don't protect the sheet.

I want to have clients fill in their name, date and code at the top of my
spreadsheet. I have a spreadsheet with only 2 columns. The width of column
A is 6 and B is 70. I want them to be able to just enter their info and not
change mine. What can I put at the top?
