Hi,

I am working on an Excel document, to which different users will have access
to. I know I can protect a worksheet, and still allow users to change certain
ranges with a certain password. This is what I want. But almost all data is
based on link (via INDEX formula) to other document, which should be updates
automatically.

Is this combination possible?

Best regards,

Marieke

You can lock or unlock cells on that worksheet.

If the cell is locked (nice for formulas and values that should not be changed)
and the worksheet protected, then that cell can't be changed (without
unprotecting the sheet).

If the cell is unlocked (nice for data entry cells) and the worksheet is
protected, then the user should be able to change the value in the cell.

You can select a cell and then lock or unlock it via:
(in xl2003 menus)
Format|cells|Protection tab
