Default Locking Cells

The cells that you want to be able to edit, under format cell, protection
tab, uncheck the "locked" box. (cells are protected by default)

Now go to Tools-Protection, protect sheet. You can play around w/ options if
you want, but you should be okay with default settings. Use a password if
desired.

You should now only be able to edit the cells that you setup.

Hi All

I have a workbook and would like to make certain cells editable and lock
other cells. How do I achieve this functionality?

I'd appreciate any advise or guidance from the professionals in the forum.

Thanks in advance to all who respond.
