Perhaps a trip to the help index for PROTECTION could be of assistance

I'm very new to Excel and have taken a long time to work out some formulas
in
a workbook. This book is shared by people who have little or no knowledge
at
all of Excel. They are required to input data but sometimes, when an
error
is made, a formula is accidentally deleted in one of the columns. Is
there
any way I can protect parts of the worksheet and not others?
