You could select those cells and go to Format | Cells | Protection and make
sure that they are Locked. Then back on the sheet itself, protect the sheet
with a password and during the process, untick the option to Select Locked
cells. You'll have to provide the administrator with the password so that
he/she/you? can view the contents of the cells.

Remember that password protection of workbooks/worksheets is very weak and
easily determined - don't write anything embarrassing in those cells <g.

I am trying to hide specific cells on a protected ecell sheet so that only
the administrator may see what is inside them, if I hide the cells people can
still click and see what is in the formula bar.
