Locking column headers
 

Hi all,
I need to lock the header columns of a spresadsheet/database and so that
they cannot be altered (resized or deleted etc) I know I can do that by
locking the range and then protecting the worksheet. But if someone else
wants to sort the worksheet by any column then it has to be unprotected. Is
there a work around so that the column headers can be locked without
protecting the worksheet?

Any help would be appreciated.

Locking column headers
 

When you protect the sheet, there are a bunch of checkboxes that most people
ignore. If you scroll down the checkboxes, one of them is SORT, which will
allow the user to sort the data. They do have to highlight the cells of
'unprotected' data they wish to sort.
