Protection
Hey I have a workbook that I need to have locked but not completely. I need
to lock the formulas but I need different persons to have access to different sheets within the workbook. I also need those persons to be able to add their comments for their respective areas and save it. So, although the workbook is protected I need them to be able to edit certain cells. Lastly, I need to make it so that multiply person can view the workbook at the same time and if needs be edit their sheet and be able to save it. Is all that possible? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks |

On the cells you want them to be able to edit you can right click, go to
protection and uncheck locked. then when you protect the sheet all the cells will be locked except the ones you unchecked. To share it among mutiple users you can click on tools, share workbook and click on edititng and click on allow changes by more than one user at the same time. You will then need to protect the workbook or worksheet. Hope this helps "djs" wrote: Hey I have a workbook that I need to have locked but not completely.
