How can I protect a worksheet yet allow editing in Excel 2000
I am creating a spreadsheet for users who are using Excel 2000 and I would
like to protect the worksheet yet still allow users to edit a range of cells in the worksheet. By just applying a password to the worksheet I would have to rely on the other users remembering to put the password back on again once they finished entering their data. I know that this facility is available in later versions of Excel ie €śAllow users to edit ranges€ť and I was wondering if there is a way to replicate it in Excel 2000. |
You could locate the cells that can be edited and use FormatCellsProtection
and un-tick the locked option. Then when the file is protected only these cells can be changed. -- Loose, fast and on the edge.
