hi,

is there a way once you enter a formula to lock it....
so no one can change it, or accidentaly delete it by entering data, etc??

thanks!

you can protect the sheet so that any cell with protection selected can not
be changed.

tools.protection .protect sheet.

what you really need to do is to select the cells which are not to be
selected and turn off protection for the cells before you protect the sheet

Kind of....

You can lock the cell (and unlock the cells that the user should be able to
change).

Use format|Cells|Protection tab to toggle that setting

And then protect the worksheet (tools|protection|protect sheet)

You may want to test this a bit. There are lots of things that won't work on a
protected sheet.
