Restricting cell selection
If you only allow the cells in range a2:f10 to be selected within the sheet,
then Gary's have provided you the solution. if you want the users to be able to select all cells except the cells from a2:f10 in the sheet, then select the whole sheet, Format Cells Protection and uncheck locked OK select a2:f10, right click Format Cells Protection click Locked OK apply protection. This will allow user to go to any cells except a2:f10 -- Hope this is helpful Pls click the Yes button below if this post provide answer you have asked Thank You cheers, francis "Jemwig" wrote: That protects the cell from being edited.
