I would like to run a worksheet where the user is only allowed to input
data in a specific cell, ...say B5.

Select that cell

FormatCellsProtection, and unclick Locked

Protect the sheet, ToolsProtectionProtect sheet...

Assume we want to unprotect just this cell in the whole sheet

Try this sequence ..
Select cell B5
Format Cells Protection tab Uncheck "Locked" OK
("locks" only cell B5)

Then apply sheet protection via:
Tools Protection Protect Sheet Passwrd? OK

Test it out. All cells on the sheet, other than cell B5,
will be locked / protected.

Typo correction, line:
("locks" only cell B5)

should read:
("unlocks" only cell B5)
