You could go one step further.
First, click in cell G28, then go to menu Window|Freeze Panes
Second, as before, hide columns G through IV
Third, hide rows 28 through 65536 (both assumptions is that you have xl2003.
Now, your block of data stays there no matter how much 'scrolling is
attempted. For aesthetics, you could go to menu Tools|Options, and uncheck
the checkbox for Row & column heaers on the View tab, and then it won't even
'bump out a little' when they scroll down.

I have created a program in excel however i don't want people to be able to
scroll to the right after column F and i don't want them to be able to scroll
after row 27 how can i do this so that they can only view what is inside
those two areas? Do i have to create a macro? If i do what would the Macro
code be? Help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Brenda- Hide quoted text -

And to go a bit further you can unlock the visible cell if they need
to be modified, then protect the sheet by allowing the user to select
unlocked cells. After this even if someone wants to unhide the hidden
content it wouldn't be possible.

Note: this is an extra step to do if you follow John C advise.
