Can somebody tell me how I can lock our certain cells, rows or columns from
others being able to change anything in those cells. I of course want to
password portect to that I can go in with my password and change certain
cells, rows or columns later on. Using Microsoft Excel 2007 on Windows Vista.

Select All the active cells in your worksheet. Then click on Home tab
Format Cells Protection and untick Locked OK
Now select cells that you wish to lock and repeat above procedure except
tick Locked OK
Now click Review tab and select Protect Sheet. You can enter a password (you
can also place a tick against any other features you might want to carry out
e.g. format columns) OK
Cells are now locked against modification
Hope this helps
Incidentally you don't have to shout (caps in heading !!!!)
