Thanks for your reply, however, my question was not answered. I want to
be
able to create cells in a worksheet where users can input numbers, but
cannot
change any of the formatting of the cell, such as font style, font size,
font
color, borders, etc. Thanks again.

I understand how to protect a worksheet, and I know how to "unlock"
certain
cells in a worksheet, so that users of the worksheet can enter
information
into these unlocked cells. I have a worksheet where all I want the
users
to
be able to do in certain cells is to be able to 'put in or insert'
numbers.
I don't want the users of this worksheet to be able to change the font,
font
color, font size, borders, etc. In other words, I want to create a
worksheet
where only numbers can be entered into certain cells, but no changes
whatsoever can be made to the cell formatting of these cells. Thanks
for
your assistance.
