Thank you Pete, will give it another try.

You need to unlock the cells which you want the Users to adjust -
highlight the cells and click on Format | Cells | Protection tab and
unclick Locked and Hidden for those cells. Now apply Tools |
Protection | Protect Sheet (with or without a password), and the cells
which were not changed (i.e. your headers) will now be locked.


In later versions of Excel there are some options as to what a User is
allowed to do in a protected sheet, but those were not available in XL
2000 - it's all or nothing.


Hope this helps.

Hello All,
I'm sure its something simple, but I am having trouble protecting specific
cells in a worksheet. *Followed the help instructions, but not having any
luck.
Need to protect a row of headers and the next rows will be used by others,
but need to protect the format only of the blank rows. *Using Excel 2000
Appreciate your advice.
Thank you everyone
